Love can blind AND disgrace you

Especially if the LOYL is an onigbese. [View in browser](=.Yko2SUIMbUKkFAYvasVqRgNiB2u1WCUyGlhAP2oneRE) [Zikoko Daily] 23 January, 2024 Hey . A certain gubernatorial candidate’s name is on the lips of people on Nigerian Twitter right now, but it isn’t because they’re astonished by his good fortune. It’s because someone called out his wife for owing salaries. The wife has (somewhat) responded to the allegations, but it isn’t clear if they’re accepting the gbese or not, so I don’t have that gist for you. What I do have, is something that can help you if you’re ever in a similar situation. 👇🏾 Tife Editor In This Letter: - 1 [What to do when your partner is an onigbese](=.jct_FXthhsDz5zGKd30CsGcnmOq5qyvTX63o6Yc11qM) - 2 [How Canada’s new immigration restrictions concern Nigerians](=.AuGXk-QOyEFUnHEWx9oBdhAKsUUW5ws_x9xGAaT2nQ0) - 3 [16 Yoruba proverbs and their meanings](=.EHzKIP8WMbF5rw-luLLfzNtt_xeCv_gJKoo2slC-EO0) SHORT READS I Once Mistook Detergent for Garri…and Drank It =.eyDj11xKDw8u444B6kYWABrG8Ivc6YqFJs86QY2yakM “I remember the night in boarding school when I mistook detergent for Garri. We had just returned from evening prep, and I rushed to my locker to get a snack before going to hustle for water. Everywhere was dark, so I reached into my locker to grab the bottle that contained my Garri. The thing is, my garri bottle was beside my detergent bottle. I don't know why I was so silly to place the two side by side, knowing that they were in identical bottles. That’s how I opened the detergent bottle, thinking it was garri, and poured it in my mouth. Thank God I did not swallow, because how will I explain my foolishness? Luckily for me, no one was around me, so I just rinsed my mouth and didn't tell a soul about what happened. Until now, of course. 😂.” — Akindolapo. Your story could be the next one featured here.
