“Most of the time, we are the bad friends we all complain about” – Actress, Toyin Abraham

Toyin Abraham

Nigerian actress and producer, Toyin Abraham has shared an amazing think piece about friendship on her official Instagram page.

Toyin Abraham

The award-winning actress pointed out most people avoid making friends because they believe friends are bad without realizing that they are the bad friends they complain about.

According to her, humans are naturally flawed and imperfect so instead of focusing on pointing out each other’s weaknesses, we should hold each other with grace and compassion.

Read her full post below,

“You complain that friends are bad and so you don’t want to have friends. I complain that friends are bad and so, I’d rather do without them. But honestly, who are these bad friends that make us all want to do away with friendships if not us all? Ṣé ẹ fẹ́ gbọ́ òótọ́, most of the time we are the bad friends we all complain about. All of us are guilty in one way or other. We’ve been a bad friend to somebody at one point or the other. So, if we avoid, cancel or run away from everyone who has offended us at one point or the other, what do we do with ourselves?

I think it is easier to point out other people’s flaws than it is to accept that we are all flawed humans in some way. And so, when we expect perfection from one another, we ruin the beauty of friendships. Because ẹ wò ó, ká má parọ́, we all have our good and bad sides and it is never realistic to think that we can experience people without their flaws. ⁣

So, rather than avoiding one another, rubbishing one another, exposing our weaknesses and publicising our offences, hoping it would create the balance and stability we desire in our friendships and shield us from being hurt by “people”, let us hold one another with grace and compassion instead. It is only then that it becomes possible to lovingly hold one another accountable and help each other grow into our best selves! Igi kan kò lè dá igbó ṣe, ká fi ọwọ́ w’ẹwọ́ ni ọwọ́ fí ń mọ́.”

“If acute cheating is the reason you leave your relationship, then you have no business being in one or getting married” – Uti Nwachukwu

Reality star and actor, Uti Nwachukwu, has averred that “acute cheating” is not enough reason to leave a relationship.

According to him, the needless pressure of monogamy is destroying relationships as it is extremely hard for humans to be sexually committed to one human for the rest of their lives.

Speaking further, Uti stated that most monogamous relationships are pretentious, hypocritical, and sad.

In his words,

“We are so obsessed with relationships yet we have refused to accept the inconvenient truths about em. If acute (not chronic) cheating is the reason you leave your relationship, then you have no business being in one in the first place not to talk of marrying!

As long as you have a partner that is kind to u, provides for u, spends adequate time with u/does not Neglect u emotionally&physically- Then what else do u really want?

Truth is, it is EXTREMELY hard for humans to be sexually committed to ONE human for the rest of their Lives!

Let’s be real and think about it. So You are expected to be physically intimate with one person for the rest of your life? (Even if you marry in your 20s?) Lol.

ANALOGY – Starch and Banga is super tasty and ur favourite but there are days you wake up craving king prawns with special fried rice.

FYI,if banga is forcd down ur throat, u might end up resenting banga for a LONG TIME.

I feel the needless pressure of monogamy has/is still destroying relationships. NOT TO SAY IT DOESNT WORK O! But most LONG TERM monogamous relationshps are pretentious,hypocritical and sad. YET they are the ones quick to judge and pressure others living freely.

This is a real non judgemental conversation EVERYONE should have with themselves and their intending partners so u don’t lead anyone into depression via deceit.

KNOW URSELF NO BE CUSS. WHO DE CRY DE SEE ROAD.

Whether u are Female or Male, Ur Preferences are Ur Preferences (as long as its not an addiction) Let’s not talk about Solomon’s Wives&Concubines cos we know when we add religion, the conversation becomes closed and heated. Just do U and be real with UR expectations”.

Stressed groom absconds his wedding to rest at friend’s place

An Ugandan groom, Dr Patrick Mbusa Kabagambe, reportedly disappeared on his wedding eve and all means to reach him proved abortive.

Patrick was said to have gone to his friend’s house to rest because he was stressed.

According to Daily Monitor, Patrick and his bride, Christabella Banturaki were to set to tie the knot at All Saints Cathedral Nakasero in Kampala City last Saturday, April 10th. The reception had been organized at Silver Springs Hotel in Kampala.

However, moments before the wedding the groom disappeared and his mobile phone was switched off. This triggered panic, frantic calls, anxiety and confusion among his friends, family and in-laws.

His worried bride-to-be in company of her uncle went to Kasangati Police Station, Wakiso District, where they opened a case of a missing person.

Detectives, relatives and friends began a frantic search for the would-be groom. Worried relatives flooded social media with messages announcing the sudden disappearance of Dr Kabagambe, imploring well-wishers to share information wherever he is spotted, dead or alive.

A relative posted in a WhatsApp group last Saturday,

“Dr Patrick Mbusa Kabagambe has been reported missing with his car UBH 905X on the eve of his wedding this Saturday, 10 April 21, and all his known [telephone] contacts are switched off. The case has been reported at Kasangati Police Station, SD REF 22/10/04/2021. Patriots, let’s assist trace the suspect/victim.”

On the wedding day, Dr. Patrick still didn’t show up, converting what should have been a blissful ceremony into an agonizing blind search.

The bride, who had been informed hours earlier that her groom has yet to appear did not head to All Saints Nakasero Cathedral.

However, some relatives, unaware of the developments, appeared at the church for the scheduled wedding, only to find neither the bride nor the groom were present.

The search continued the following day, Sunday, April 11th, but before the police could involve other tracking units to establish his last contacts, the groom presented himself at Wandegeya Police Station in Kampala.

The deputy spokesperson for Kampala Metropolitan Police, Mr Luke Owoyesigyire, who confirmed the incident on Monday, Aprl 12, said Patrick told detectives that he was not a missing person as reported to the Force, but went to spend a night at the home of an undisclosed friend because he was stressed.

“He said he was stressed. He didn’t have a reason why he didn’t want to marry Ms Banturaki. We later released him on police bond as investigations continue,” Mr Owoyesigyire said.

Chocolate City co-founder and President, Audu Maikori wrote on Facebook;

The last chat I had with Rachel Bakam was on the 1st of April 2021. She said ” I just received bad and troubling news , I am speechless” I asked her what happened- clearly alarmed and she replied ” its April fools day bro! LOL” and my fear turned into a smile. She then proceeded to tell me about her latest fundraising drive to empower Southern Kaduna women in the rural areas by providing seed money and equipment for them. We chatted a little more about it and signed off. Little did I know that lest than 2 weeks later I wold be the one who received the “bad and troubling news” of her death!!

Rachel was a very inspiring woman ,sister and mother- always had a smile , alway positive and very very clear about her goals. I met her probably 17 years ago in Kaduna through a mutual friend and later on with her then husband Israel Edjeren. More recently, we were in the same Kaduna Creative group where we mentor, support and share opportunities for empowerment – and she was always very active , passionate about any project concerning Southern Kaduna and Kaduna state as a whole- but with a keen focus on helping the less privileged and the displaced refugees across the country.

The lady was always so busy I even used to wonder when she ever got to rest with her packed schedule !

There have ben quite a few deaths recently, but this one hit me hard!!! It hit us all very very hard cos we lost a true gem, the space she occupied , not many can fill today because she had a special flair about what she did and that flair was driven by her passion for her people. She will be dearly missed by us all.

Rest In Peace Queen Rachel Bakam!

Nuhu Fulani kwajafa, the National Coordinator of Global initiative for Peace, Love and Care, GIPLC, revealed this in a Facebook post.

According to Nuhu, the little girl needed N3m for her brain surgery and a well meaning individual offered to donate the money. However, he requested to transfer it to the mother’s bank account because he didn’t trust the NG0 in charge of the little girl’s case.

Unfortunately, the mother chose the money over her child’s life as she ran away with the donated funds. Nuhu revealed that the girl, identified as Ada, died on Tuesday April 13.

He wrote on Facebook,

“Last month we had a case of a 3yr old girl with a brain tumor who needed N3m for surgery. A donor insisted on paying the money to the account of the mother, stating that he’s not comfortable with NGOs. We initially wanted him to pay directly to the hospital, but that was not possible because 80% of the medical materials needed for the surgery has to be bought outside the hospital. Eventually, the donor credited the mother’s account, and the mother absconded with the N3m. Sadly, the child died this morning. Rest In Peace Ada”.

“If you need your parents permission to marry someone, you probably aren’t ready for marriage” – Solomon Buchi.

Prolific Nigerian Writer, Solomon Buchi, recently took to his social media page to share his thoughts about a controversial aspect of getting married.

Solomon frowned at the idea that an Adult needs to seek his/her parents’ permission to marry someone, and he said if that is the case, the person is probably not old enough for marriage.

His Tweets read ;

If you need your parent’s permission to marry someone, you probably aren’t ready for marriage.

If you’re an adult and you NEED your parents CONSENT to marry someone or start your life, that’s not honor. That’s manipulation & fear. Sometimes you won’t grow until you ‘rebel’. They’ll come around later. But in all, speak with grace & understand they also want the best for you

In fact, parents imposing their choices on their children shows that they didn’t train their children enough to trust them. Man, if you trained them well, you’ll be proud of MOST of the decision they make. “Train up a child… and when he’s old he won’t depart from it”

You can go to your parents for guidance, you can go to them for counsel, but you should know enough to sieve what you take, because many times they are projecting. Also know that your parents aren’t to mandate you as an adult, you should make your decisions.
