Answer to our question:

Since Sonia's mother is a proper Nigerian woman, Sonia definitely doesn’t have all 32 teeth anymore! A proper Naija mum wouldn’t let that slide—she probably rearranged her dental formula immediately.

Final answer? Less than 32 teeth, but we might need a dentist to confirm the exact number!

Who got the answer? Abi na who want call the dentist 🦷 😂😂

Each time I see Skittles, my kids' love for them and how colourful and sweet they are, I am always reminded of my dear mother. She would always buy us something similar back then, each time she went out to work or for outings.

When we were in primary school, before my mum started working as a clerical officer, she used to own a shop. We would start shouting just outside the shop, asking for food before even entering the shop. She would gladly bring our food, well-packaged. You don’t want to hear how we behaved on days when the cooking wasn’t finished before we got home! 😂😂 It was like we were going to school for her.

You could hear us threatening never to go to school again! 😂😂😂

What memories come to your mind when you think of your mother ??

I Before I moved to England, I had hardly spoken to white people, so I worried about how I would communicate with them and secure a job.

I won't lie – it was hard. You might see me smiling even when I don't fully understand what is being said. Once, I smiled and nodded when I was asked to fetch a bed sheet, but I made no move. The lady saw beyond my smile and said slowly, "Could you please get a bed sheet?"

Now I can say that I understand quite well and can hold conversations. It’s still a work in progress, but I am evolving. If I can, you can too.

Before I came to England, I believed that finding my way around would be extremely difficult, especially since the place is so vast and the roads are very busy. Everywhere you looked, there was a road – whether it was the left road, the garden road, or the front road.

However, once I arrived, I realised that with a map you can explore the world; you can go anywhere as long as you know the postcode, and it is as simple as squeezing a lemon.

The reality was that I struggled at first – sometimes I found myself going back, forth, left, or right, only to turn around in seconds. But now I understand the layout to a reasonable extent.

This is quite different from my experience back in Nigeria, where I never used a map.

So, don't think you're not smart enough to thrive abroad; most of the things you imagine you'll struggle with have been simplified.

Life may sometimes feel like a maze of bustling roads and unexpected detours, but don't let setbacks define you. Even when the going gets tough, keep your chin up and press on.

You are capable, resilient, and deserving of every bit of success that comes your way. Keep at it, and have a brilliant day!

Today, I step into grace, favour, and divine alignment. I am strong, blessed, and unstoppable. No obstacle is too great, no challenge too hard—because God is with me.

My mind is at peace, my body is strong, and my spirit is filled with joy.

Doors of opportunity are opening, and I walk in wisdom and confidence.

I will not be discouraged, delayed, or defeated—my steps are ordered by God.

Everything I touch is blessed, and today will be a day of breakthroughs!

I declare it, I believe it, and I walk in it. Amen!

My son stopped taking breast milk at just three months—not because I planned it that way, but because Nigeria happened to me.

There was an employment advert at the Delta State Ministry of Works. We were required to submit our documents in person, and I saw it as an opportunity to secure a better future for my son. So, with a heavy heart, I left him behind, reassuring myself that I would be back the same day.

When I arrived, wahala started. The crowd was like a political rally—people were fainting left, right and centre. Some lost their original documents in the madness. Nepotism, bribery and eye service were in full display.

Job seekers were slipping money into the hands of staff just to have their documents collected. If you did not have a ‘long leg’ or connection, you were simply there to make up the numbers.

I tried my luck that day, but it was a lost battle. Fortunately, I ran into a lady I knew, and we both ended up spending the night at her aunt’s house, hoping for better fortune the following morning.

By 4:30 am, we resumed the struggle, but Nigeria was still doing what it does best—frustrating its citizens. After two nights in Asaba, I finally managed to submit my documents.

By the time I returned home, my son had moved on. My own flesh and blood—the child I had left just two days before—would not even look at my breasts, let alone feed from them. And just like that, breastfeeding for us came to an abrupt end.

And the job? My dear, you already know how this story ends. To this day, not a single call or message. The position was probably allocated among their cronies before the advert had even gone up.

Nigeria will humble you. Well, I am glad I humbled it by leaving—otherwise, na me for kee the Nigeria.

You wouldn’t truly understand why people speak so badly about the system in Nigeria until you get caught up in it.

During my NYSC days, I was posted to the University of Benin School of Midwifery, and as fate would have it, I was assigned as a librarian—fitting, since I am a librarian by profession.

But when I arrived, what I found was disheartening. The library looked like an abandoned bookshop—no catalogues, no classification, just dusty books that hadn’t been touched in months.

Determined to make a difference, I travelled back to my alma mater, DELSU, and met with one of my lecturers, who guided me on how to start classification and cataloguing.

It was an exhausting process, but I was committed. Using my personal laptop, I carefully catalogued and classified every book.

Soon, the entire school took notice. The principal, vice principal, lecturers, and students couldn’t stop praising my work. I went beyond my role—I helped students find resources, printed out useful information for them, and enforced borrowing rules to ensure books were properly used. Within weeks, the library became a functioning, structured space.

One day, the principal approached me and said she would speak to the CMD about employing me permanently as the school's librarian. I was overjoyed—it was exactly what I had hoped for!

Not long after, an official job advert was posted for librarians at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital, I applied and the principal personally submitted my application along with a strong recommendation letter on her letterhead. Everything seemed to be falling into place.

But then, one fateful day, she walked in with another lady and introduced her as the new librarian of the School of Midwifery. I almost fainted. Devastated was an understatement. To make matters worse, the woman wasn’t even a librarian—I doubt she had ever set foot in a library before.

The principal shared in my disappointment, but there was nothing she could do. I tried to tell myself that God had better plans, but that didn’t stop the tears. I cried for what felt like 40 days and 40 nights.

Looking back now, I realise that leaving Nigeria was truly a blessing. That moment of pain, betrayal, and disappointment was just God redirecting me to something greater.

Everybody now blames their brother’s wife for their brother’s stinginess or for not meeting their demands. Even the brothers wey their wives dey help oh! Ehen na, dey play! 😂😂

The same brother wey you know no go release ordinary 5k before, suddenly, it’s his wife that has “brainwashed” him? Continue! 🤣🤣

Women have suffered! We can still overlook it if your brother is rich—maybe even filthy rich. But not when he’s still climbing okada, struggling to pay rent, or dodging school fees.

Your brother no even first get! No be say dem rub am! My papa say, "person wey naked no dey put hand for pocket." 😂😂 You just can’t squeeze water from a rock. If you get it, you get it. If you don’t get it, forget about it! 🤣🤣
