One thing I would like to see more of is women being vocal about their contributions to the family. Not in a condescending or disrespectful way, but simply making sure their contributions are acknowledged. When you contribute to building a family, you or your husband should make it known.
This culture of protecting a husband’s dignity by keeping a wife’s contributions quiet is part of why people come online and act as though women contribute absolutely nothing to their families.
While he was putting most of his income into building a house, you were paying the children’s school fees, sending money to his family or yours, and keeping the household running. While he was saving up to buy a car, you were making sure the house was stocked with food. You were both building that family, just in different ways.
But because people only see the husband’s visible investments, they conveniently ignore the wife’s sacrifices. And when something happens to him, suddenly, everything is described as the product of his sweat, as though his wife was merely a spectator in the life they built together.
This is how society reduces women’s value to childbearing while overlooking their financial and non-financial contributions. It is also why widows and widowers are often treated so differently.
Women need to stop allowing their contributions to become invisible in the name of protecting their husbands’ image. A family is built by a team, and both people’s sacrifices deserve to be acknowledged

I don’t think I know how to feel things in moderation. It’s either I’m completely detached or way too invested, there’s rarely an in-between.

when my friends remind me of kind things i did for them, i’m genuinely lost because i can barely remember. and when they do extremely kind things for me, i’m always so stunned & very grateful. i guess it’s true: he who wants friends must first show himself friendly.

See the way he praises his wife! Do you think a man would speak about his wife this way if she contributed nothing to his life?
I honestly wonder how people can conclude that she contributed nothing to his success. I read somewhere that she was once one of his backup singers. That alone tells you she was part of his journey long before the success everyone sees today.

He died a Christian and should be buried as one. That’s unnecessary provocation in my book
The Toluwanisings saga is interesting becsuse two accounts confirm the man’s family want him buried according to Islamic rights and no one is even pointing to it and perhaps the reasons for his wives alleged refusal. A known gospel minister who profess a different religion, are you all deliberately ignoring that point? I hope his widow is surrounded by LOVE

As a chronic complainer, I try to hold my mouth sometimes because if I start, there’s literally nothing I won’t complain about.

Nigerian: Bury me in my house! In fact! Bury me in my living room. Nobody will sell the house I built with my sweat!

Someone who lost her husband two weeks ago should give you audience. As per what and as per you are who? Something only someone with a history of madness would say.
