People are complaining about how this December isn’t “Decembering” like in previous years. But on Instagram, I saw one lady comment, “This December is soft for me”. I just want to announce that I have her details. When we start eating the rich, we’ll start from her. In today’s newsletter, we talk about epic unscripted Nollywood fights and the best movies for this Christmas season. We even got a parent to share how she’s navigating parenting guilt after her daughter was temporarily paralysed.

Where did you find this couple? Through amebo. Some weeks back, my aunty gisted my mum and I about how someone she knew had just started doing romance with her husband after they'd had a troubled marriage for several years. I fished for details until I got her to link me up with the woman. How did you get them to share, though? They were open but also vague. It took a while for me to convince the woman to invite her husband for his side of the story. Also, they allowed me to use their real names but absolutely didn't want me to have their photos. They're actually the first Gen X couple I've interviewed who weren't completely religious or spiritual about everything. Interesting. Maybe it's why they could share the actual work that went into making the marriage work, instead of saying, "It's just prayer". Right? They also sounded like they'd gone through a lot. But these guys are rich rich. Ah. Are they looking for a girl child? I volunteer as tribute. As in, ehn? I can’t believe they had six sons. I would've given half of them away.
