Seeing is believing sometimes… Things I will do and not do when I get pregnant. Read!

Chiamaka Ohadiugha

Hi reader,

How are you doing really. I hope you are keeping well and doing your best to stay positive.

So if you have been following my recent posts, you will know by now that my recent environment have been in and out of the hospital as a population staff. I am exposed to a lot of things from all spheres of life and more so as I spend quite a little bit of time in the heart to heart section of the hospital where people come for HIV test and guide too.

But today, I will be shifting mainly to the pregnancy Lane.

Yes I am fully aware that we are all different in our own way and we face different experiences. However, I somehow believe that we learn from seeing what others are going through as well. Do you get me. We often than not make decisions as per what is before us and work hard with hope that we remember and put them to work.

All this talk…. ha!

So close to the corner where I seat to work, is the Immunisation Center and also a test lab too. So mother’s have do not stress locating us for obtaining their children’s birth certificate. I see a lot of pregnant women, this particular day something hit me differently and I just started thinking 💭 Hmmm

I saw as these women wobbled in their clothes or how their hair styles looked, some looked ok, others from my eyes looked unbothered as they were mainly concerned with their babies. This also goes to new mothers with infant coming for immunisation. You can tell who is caring for her hair or clothing.

Instantly I starting making calculations in my head lol… keep reading. I just started putting down my thoughts and this is what I came up 🌚

The Do’s for when I get pregnant

Natural locs

1. LOCS: On realising that I am carrying a fellow human, I am going to finalise my decision on locking my hair. I have always wanted to loc my hair mainly to not give me stress. So thinking about it recently I think that’s what’s going to happen. Temporarily with monthly salon visits to keep it in order. For the duration of the pregnancy, I will not worry about scheduling and thinking of styles to do.

2. BUBU GOWNS/ MATERNITY WEARS: I am going to make sure I have very oversized clothing yet stylish wears. It worries me that some women wore dresses or trousers that seemed too tight and how they walked made me think deeper. As a first timer, I am going to go stylish oversized 😉 free movement and more fresh air.

3. I am going to have lots of flat foot wear. Phewww I cannot explain enough the number of uncomfortable footwear’s I saw some women wear. The woman’s body is amazing, while some had slim feet, some had very swollen ones and the type of footwear I saw them put on really got me thinking of me. Big or still small. I’m having my flats throughout my term ☺️

4. ANTE-NATAL: Depending on where I get assigned to do my ante natal, I will a bag specifically for hospital visits. A lot of pregnant women struggle to bring out documents when it needed and all that stress of noise I cannot deal, so I will get a nice fit bag to have all my needs in there. Phew ante natal visits are an all day event 😂😂😂

5. Water!!!! Unless my ante natal venue is a private one, I will make sure to have my own water from home. Ante natal visits to federal hospitals is war. And you don’t want to be tasty and drink just any kind of water 🤷🏽‍♀️

The I will not do will be the things that will stress me 😂😂😂 periodt

Ok!!! It may sound naive but this is me saying my mind lol. And yes I do know I will have a different experience but!!! Better to have some level of awareness and preparation too

Hope you enjoyed this one, Pheww I have had this in my drafts for long now, and editing it hasn’t been easy but I’m enjoying it.

Please COVID-19 is still out there protect yourself. Here in Nigeria is harmattan season(dry season) , hope you are staying hydrated, moisturised and minding the business that keeps you sane.

See you in my next post

My first day as staff in the hospital…. My new Reality

Chiamaka Ohadiugha

Hi Reader,

How are you doing, I hope fine

From my previous post I gave you my current situation and what I have learnt. Today you get to see a review of my first day at the hospital.

Today I will be giving a run down of my official first day working as a registrar in the hospital.

It was a good Monday morning, I usually take a walk to work (one of the things that I’m grateful for at least). Plus I don’t have to resume as early as 8am ( this is a huge relief for me because, I join my dad to attend morning mass and then make breakfast 😩🤧 but resuming work by 9am really allows me to achieve these things and still go to work same at least)

I already visited the hospital the Friday before Monday, curious to see my work space 😩, When I found the area I was weak and I had a rush of mixed feelings but held myself together.

The reality that I have to do my job under the tree really had me in depressing mood. I wondered how I’d manage with my allergies when I’m under the tree. How I will do when it’s raining and too hot. These things occupied my mind for a whole week.

Arriving that Monday I was not sure how the day will go but I was happy that I will be out all day at least lol.

Little back story to put you on a good path to this new environment 😉- So back in 2017 November, while I was preparing for my Nysc camp orientation, submitting an approved medical certificate from a government was a necessity. So I embarked on this journey to this same hospital that I’m working at now 🤷🏽‍♀️

While at it, I went to know my HIV status (ermmm if you don’t know yours, please do. It’s totally free in government hospitals) the man at the “Heart to heart “ section of the hospital was the one that conducted the test for me. Far from just being a scientist, he is counsellor. This man could read my facial expressions and started questions, well that day happened to be one of the best days for me because he helped me see things clear and also strengthen my thoughts.

Yeah now that you know this, when I resumed at this hospital, The first thing I did was to call him and thank God he was still in the hospital. His office and staff became my actual office experience place. Yes because this is where I keep my bag and eat and have amazing chats

It’s a Heart to heart room, I have learnt a lot and still learning (hopefully I post as I write)

The walls of the hospital had different people with different issues 😫😫( I hope you are indeed grateful life everyday, many are praying to be as healthy as you). My work area is just opposite the immunisation Center. This helps mothers to register their kids and for others to locate our stand too. That day I went through process of registering and issuing a birth certificate- quite interesting

Work that day was different, I had a lot of reactions to my eye and entire body too- allergies. I mostly stayed in this my friends office- my actual office in my opinion 😂😂😂.

Finished work around 4pm and then went in and stayed an extra 30mims before heading home.

Never thought I would ever find myself here…. When Reality hits you

Chiamaka Ohadiugha

Reality check face 😩

Towards the end of my master’s, I was so unsure what laid ahead and with my current reality it’s obvious that we make plans but reality has it’s way of putting us in check.

After Master’s my plan and wish was to land my dream job or work in any of the ministries that had one or two in my line of discipline, but ermmm that not what happened. After months of patiently waiting and having done a month of Administrative job in a friends corporative, I was back to waiting for something.

Somehow I got one but as anyone who gets a job, I feel goes through a vision of imagination of their office and all that office shenanigans lol. I really did have those visions. How I was going to mingle with others in the office especially those older then me as I had a grade higher than them. I envisioned my seat and working area and all that sweet sweet thing.

Ding ding 🛎 reality was probably laughing at me like haha who is this one, you have to calm down and take it slowly mate. So the job went through processes and I found myself in the LGA posting with my final assignment being in a hospital

Yes!!!! In a Hospital 😂😂😂😂 From being a freak of security and diplomacy to working in the hospital. Ok maybe I’m over exaggerating but I’m working in the hospital but not as a hospital staff. I work with Population commission. We basically register births and deaths in my assigned hospital.

So what’s my reality, it is the fact that, it has humbled me to realise that, everything in life has it own time and the need to start from somewhere is very important. Growth they say good things take time, this is reality telling me that and you know, I had worries of my new adaptation but I have and actually daily spoken to myself to hang on and learn even tho there’s nothing much to learn from here but the fact that I now leave the house daily is something I’m grateful for; as I have longed for it. It was becoming too much staying indoors days, weeks and months.

Meeting people is something I like to do and so far I’m trying to navigate my new new and interact positively minding the business that brought me here.

I will stop here so I don’t bore you. Next update will be on the next blog post.

What has reality thought you recently or in the past… please share in the comment below let other view learn one or two.

Counting my small blessings and staying positive

Stay safe…

FUNNY HOW PEOPLE PLACE YOU IN THEIR MIND- APPARENTLY I LOOK LIKE I CANNOT DO A LOT OF THINGS 🤷🏽‍♀️

Chiamaka Ohadiugha

Hi,

Dear Reader, how are you!

Another day of a stranger telling me how “he has made certain conclusions in his mind”

This literally happened yesterday 28th October, 2020. I had a late breakfast yesterday. When it was time for me to finally eat, I made my way down to where my bag was, I needed to get bread (none was in the house) skeptical of what I was about to buy but was ready for a different feel and experience.

On my way to get my money for the purchase, I met one of the hospital staff by the corridor. His section is where I drop my bag daily. So he inquired about what I wanted to do. I said I was hungry and wanted to eat as my eyes were hurting and my head ached.

I mentioned to him that I was about getting bread from the shop outside to eat my Akara (Beans cake- popular local food in Nigeria enjoyed by a lot of people)

I guess he thought I was buying the akara too because he looked surprised as they were no food around that sell it. I said no that I made the Akara earlier in the house for breakfast but packed my share to eat later.

Then it happened, the surprise in his eyes, his change expression and a few minutes of stare at me. I laughed and asked, why he was looking at me like that. This man pulls me to a corner close the heart to heart entrance door and said. “Wait Chiamaka, you mean you know how to work? I thought you were a mummy’s child”

First of all!!!!!! Why do some people just look at you and make mental calculations of what you can and cannot do, why! I laughed at this man and made him to understand that there’s nothing like mum and dad special child in my father’s house. I made him understand that I made 90% of the meals in the house.

Still in awe of this found clearance, he went to say that, he has always seen me as an “ajebo” someone who doesn’t do a lot of house chores, dear reader all this is because my palms are smooth and fine and maybe soft. So he made his conclusions on this and I laughed at him so much!

My palms
I have blisters on my index finger, a sign that although they seem soft, they are doing a lot!!! Hehe

If I didn’t clear this man, he would have probably told another person that I don’t do much in the house. Another reason I guess why he had such notion is because he heard I did my master’s in England. This man prefers the US to England, he feels or from experience that people who have been there are never the same again hahahahaha!!!!!! Sometimes in a joint conversation, he will tell me that this is Nigeria and not England hahahahaha!! Oh my

“Prim and proper “ has no seat in my house, but sometimes people have their opinions and it’s not totally nice but then I like that opportunities come and we are able to make clarifications.

Have you had similar experience before? Please share in the comment 👇🏽

Yes today I put out three post 💃🏿 excited. Making good use of my public holiday.

Excited for the coming blog posts- all personal experiences. Stay safe and be well.

I DON’T FAULT THEM FOR WANTING TO LEAVE, JUST GO THROUGH THE RIGHT ROUTE!

Chiamaka Ohadiugha

Hi, Reader

Hope you’ve been for well?

If you a Nigerian like me, you will understand the state of the country. It’s a lot to take in and even thinking of the nearest future sometimes feel so uncertain; I hope somehow, no matter how hard you are finding the whole situation I hope you have developed your coping mechanism. Pending when whatever you are comes to life, stay positive!

On the 22nd of October, 2020 precisely by 7pm. The president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria finally gave his address, 13 days after protests and agitation in the country.

Many wanted the president to speak because it became so embarrassing and ridiculous how a whole commander in chief of a country had not said anything to the people. Well, after many online and offline agitations, he graced the TV screens of a vast majority of Nigerians, home and abroad.

From my end, I could barely hear a single well-pronounced word, despite having the volume on 100%. Relating with my dad this morning, he said, in case of next time, it was better to view broadcast from the presidential villa from the national television station, which is NTA. Which made sense because of the general point of transmission to other TV stations. Some TV stations have bans from assembling in the villa, so they plug in to hear just like the rest of us.

As I said the speech went on for a considerable 10mins I suppose. I knew social media was going to be ranging fire and so it was. Comment flowed from all corners. The outpour of concerns was so emotional and I, myself, for the 200th time had another episode of regret of coming back after my Master’s. and the at that point, I thought I should give my peace on the one particular issue which is majorly on the minds of the youths and maybe some elderly people on behalf of their children.

Asides the flow of comments, one popular thing, was the increased was the desire to leave the country via every means possible. They don’t really care how that is going to happen, but the idea of leaving is what is riding them at the moment.

I feel this also gained more likeness after some popular Twitter influencers gave candid advice of young Nigerians getting their visas and go abroad to develop themselves and support Nigeria away from home.

Down to my WhatsApp contact list, it was a total ball game together. So many memes everywhere, I will share some of them.

Some ladies are readily available for suitors from abroad who are ready for marriage to come and marry them so that they can leave the country. It was all fun and you know post-worthy, but the main truth lies behind those posting, they mean it with all seriousness and they really wish to leave and make a living.

You may be wondering, but she equally said she regrets coming back to the country so….. Well, yes I have unfortunately fallen into that gap of finding something as soon as possible that will take me back and this time making better life choices.

So let’s talk about this leaving the country issue, as someone who has been to England, I can tell you that it is and still a thing of joy to live in another environment, where you feel safe and secured, life may have its challenges obviously but there’s always a way around it in my opinion. As a student, I could go for classes and still take menial jobs that fetched me good money. So anything is possible, you just need to plan your route.

There’s so much good out of Nigeria. You can do as much as your permit allows you to and if you in turn, have the strength to do much.

All this gist, what am I hinting at. 

Dear young Nigerian, I understand how your blood boils, how pained you are identifying yourself as a Nigerian, the many violence and injustice you have faced, the restlessness from not achieving that which you have hoped for and all your endeavours in trying to be good and have a good life. I hear you, see you and feel you.

I just want you to consider something, I bet you would not like it if at the end of all your preparation and agitation, you follow the wrong way and end up with more pains and regrets, I sure know you would not be happy at all, you’d be clouded with regrets for the choices that you would have been.

So what’s the right way and thing to do. There are so many options. But my point here is, make sure all routes are legal. You can use the educational route, could be marriage, could be relocating. For educational route, make your applications, if funds are going to be a difficult area, secure admission and then try yourself with scholarship. Don’t downplay yourself before even giving it a try.

HERE ARE FEW THINGS TO CONSIDER

The country

This is very important. What kind of life do you seek, does the country of choice carter for them. You don’t want to land in a country that you will later get to regret. 

Make extensive research

This is such an important factor before any move at all. Do as many research as possible so that you can make your decision ease free.

Dear reader, you can still leave the country, but my message to you today is that you go through the legal and recognized path, and I also want you to know this, be prepared for the journey. Some people make it look so easy, but it’s not actually so. Mentally you have to be ready to handle every step and what it comes with. I hinted on making appropriate research, this is so, so that you have a good process. Anything not done well from the get-go, you can get caught up when all is almost done. Stay focused and eventually when all verification is cleared, you can then move quietly to your new environment.

Hope you stay safe and well 🤗

WHAT I LEARNT FROM THE NATIONWIDE PROTEST-THE YOUTHS ARE CAPABLE

Chiamaka Ohadiugha

Hi Reader,

How is it going

I don’t know if you always wonder why there’s always a little salutation before the message, hehe, I find heartwarming to send greetings to whoever gets to view this. 

So hope you understand. I hope your answer is positive!

The peaceful protest took off spontaneously I must confess, because thinking back and trying to pinpoint how the idea got the interest of the public was quite amazing. It was more like, an idea was shared publicly and everyone jumped on it and in a peaceful manner, they marched, with placards, having written words that passed the message “#EndSars” and so many other inscriptions.

There came a necessity, a basic life need that would help and motivate the protesters. They took long walks, chanting on top of their voices . so I bet, at some point, they needed water, snack or even glucose to restore lost energy whether or not they had that earlier.

Something amazing sprang into existence, “crowdfunding” wow, the speed at which people contributed was amazing, still amazes me as I write this, then the govt played a funny move, hahaha. They had the account for the crowdfunding on hold, restricting transactions from the account, I read from Twitter that the reason was that the account was considered to be fraudulent hahahaha, I laughed so much ha!. That day was particularly interesting, as soon as that happened, immediately, like they knew the govt was going to play, they brought out another account and it even went as far as people contributing “Bitcoin” amazing!

I think either the day after the donations started or a couple of days later, my point is this, the whole of Nigerian active Twitter users were presented with a well-detailed statement of account. The amount that had been received then, the different currency in which they came in, the amount disbursed, what it has been used to buy and all that. Wow!!!!! I was so happy that we are alive to witness the kind of transparency and accountability. Every penny was accounted for, and as more donations came in we were briefed. We did not ask, but they had it as a mandate to inform us of what was going on so that in end we’d see that being accountable and transparent is a choice and is doable.

Oh I just remembered, the brains and hardworking team behind the crowdfunding is “Feminist coalition” they partnered with a lot of women and men I suppose.

The team got a lot of praise and support from youths, online and offline. Twitter went a spree, the endless hashtags of the #Endsars got the attention of the world at large and Twitter gave us a symbol. Due to the spirit of unity and accountability expressed at the initial start of the Nigerians in different parts of the world held peaceful protest too. * what a time to be alive and see this* growing up, we were often told as events that happened, but witnessing this, was something very special and I will never forget it…

From the team and as well the youths I learnt;

Our leaders have actually underrated us for the longest time. In a space of days, money was donated, disbursed, accounted for, and every protester was taken care of. No hindrance or long process in the disbursement of money. Videos and pictures from all around but mostly from Lagos showed how much protesters enjoyed good food and snack.

The team and youths in general, showed that unity is actually what they stand for, no segregating between who is from here or there, everyone of them, that came out showed love and care towards each other. We saw injured people rushed to the hospital and the dead assisted with all strangers fighting for a common good.

The team had different other groups of professionals that helped in bringing a lot of justice and services too. Young professionals; doctors, lawyers, vendors, engineers and so on. I saw clips of the update on the number of lawyers that helped in this protest, about 700 of them. Update to update on how a lot of people arrested illegally were released by total strangers, oh the joy of active Twitter users at the announcement of one youth bailed successful, a sight to never to be forgotten.

The team and the rest of the youths showed the older generation that, that time of manual and analogue style of handling things are now a thing of the past. For instance, we watched Nigerians living in different of the parts of the world contributed by having to go the bank and filled one thing or the other. From the comfort of their homes, they made transfers. Another thing was on how, list of professionals helping and injured, dead were all handled. One of the team members twittered making reference from her “spreadsheet” aha!!! The world has moved on entirely and old things are now slow and waste of time.

The last thing is that the youths have shown that they are not the problem of this country, its sad how we have been told lies and twisted a lot of things making it seem like we are not capable of anything and also further creating disparity amongst us. The youths have made it clear through the last 14 days that they are capable of handling this country to greater heights. They have shown that they have a strong voice and can get things done.

So proud and happy to have witnessed this, hopefully, it all results in something good in the nearest future.

FROM SARS TO SWAT: The Rise of Youths against Police Brutality. (Part 1)

Chiamaka Ohadiugha

Hi Reader, 

Hope you are doing well. 

I had this in my draft and have longed to share it but after my recent reality and what I have to do at home, I am often worn out and cannot even bring me to edit and make a blog post. The past 14 days have been a real rollercoaster for we Nigerians, we witnessed speaking the against Police Brutality Online and offline and the rise of the initiative to have peaceful protest with the single motive of letting the government hear the cry of the youths and try to make the necessary policy and rules.

The stories I read and many more in the last few days have been more than a horror movie. And eventually, we witnessed the attacks by thugs and men on uniform retaliate back with more violence at the people and this honestly has left me so pained and at some point, I felt my emotional gland was striking.

Coming from a security and intelligence perspective, it goes a long way to tell us Nigerians that we are way behind on innovative ways of gathering information and taking actions. Tell me how a whole Federal Police does not have a working and well established Forensics and intelligence departments with the mantra of hunting down criminals. 

First of all, the police are not even properly trained but still went ahead to create an “anti-robbery squad” without properly drafting the vision and mission of the squad. SARS For me should be or is the secret service under police. A squad moving quietly within the society and actually doing the job. 

I see no reason for standing on the road with the mission of “catching” suspects of robbery and cybercriminals. Is it written on the face? No.

With proper and well-equipped forensics and intelligence departments and a good tracking system innovations, properly trained security officers with the necessary technologies, SARS has no business on the road.

But sadly that not what is happening now, everyone is literally a suspect and it’s so embarrassing and frustrating. An international embarrassment (I cannot even end in an hour telling you how Nigerians are looked at and how they constantly have to leave conversations when Nigeria is mentioned) sigh ☹️

Another area, where this has immensely touched, is the response the protesters have encountered from the beginning. It irks me that in a so-called “Democracy” the citizens are not allowed to exercise their fundamental human rights in exhibiting just how they have felt with the way the government have handled things.

It is their right, unarmed, they marched peacefully with vandalizing or destroying properties, yet they were attacked, an indirect way of telling to shut up and go back home and wait until the government is done and then do what they feel is right and good for its citizens. An absolute madness!!!. From the secret command orders to carry out so many atrocities on the protesters, to countless loss of lives, Nigeria is on what looks like a standstill. As different parts of the country are under curfew.

Where is the Nigerian government heading with this type of leadership, what is the hope for the youths.

I am clearly really pained and saddened by all that has happened in the past days. So writing them really me to ease off. And I have decided to share. 

Please I hope you are safe and everyone around you too. Until the remaining parts of the post

Stay safe.

The New Normal- New sign of sharing greetings and peace in religious places…

Chiamaka Ohadiugha

We didn’t plan for all these but we had to keep safe..

Watching Asian movies for the longest I can remember. One thing that really marvelled me was their nature of greeting each other. No physical contact. Very distanced with so much respect and dignity. They did this effortlessly and it’s part of them. Someone may look at it and think oh, are they worshipping each other? But not, it’s their cultural heritage and they have no problem doing it even in outside their environment.

However, unlike the French and British, who love to give the kiss greetings, they are often body contacts and noise you lol. That particular kind of greeting prior to my travelling out always seemed funny to me; because I felt it should be for people who were lovers or at most with close family members. But just like the Asian people, this too is their culture. Infact watching Emily in Paris, you can see that side pecks are a normal thing.

All that said, with our current reality, a lot has changed in our manner of exchanging greetings. I wonder how French and British greet now. Obviously they would have to adjust to the new normal which is socially distanced greetings.

Who thought that one day we’d adopt the Asian style of greeting without feeling some type of way.

After 4 months of lock down particularly in Abuja, Nigeria; some churches have gradually resumed their activities with strict emphasis on maintaining the government health guidelines and so far my church are really on it and won’t take any excuses. The start of church activities had us just omitting the “sign of peace” (I’m

Catholic and we share peace of the Lord during the Eucharistic celebration and this we do by shaking each other’s hands, some couples hug 😑 well basically, we shake hands and say “Peace of the Lord be with you”) this went on for a few weeks.

But of recent, the Priests are trying to introduce a new way of exchanging the sign of Peace.

Sign of peace

When the moment comes, we face as many as we can and simple wave or bow or nod to the other person in our socially distanced angle. The start was funny as people are kind of new and maybe feeling awkward about the introduction but gradually they are picking up.

We never prepared for this but here we are adapting to things we didn’t see or even thought one day another cultural practice will be the best way of helping in reducing the spread of virus or disease. It hits differently when you think through it and you just remind yourself that really nothing is promised and seeing wrong in another’s thoughts or practices is not up to you/us to condemn because you never know what comes.

Now I rather give a bow or a nod kind of sign to whoever is close to me at Mass (Catholic service) hoping that we understand ourselves and share the peace of the lord. And even outside too, not many give the regular hugs and kisses. A little effort in showing that is through both person’s elbows coming together while still avoiding facial contact. It’s really funny but we have no choice but to keep safe and help other’s around us.

Hi dear reader; hope you enjoyed this one. If you can relate with me please I’d like to engage with you in the comment section….. To my organic new followers, I cannot express how excited it makes me feel when I get notified of a new follow and possibly a like. Thank you! I hope you stay connected. I have so much to engage with you and I’m hoping you at some point share your thoughts too.. Until my next post, stay safe guys.

I hope you are maintaining this?

“Oji nga ji eri“ The one with Spoon : A story my Grandma told me of her dad- my Great Grandpa.

Chiamaka Ohadiugha

Recently, I remembered one of the stories my grandma told me while I was young, say 7-8.

Though younger at that age, I never heard of such in my environment so it was definitely very funny to me, and remembering it now, I cannot help but laugh and at the same time wonder what made him do that. Hmmm!

The joy of attending a party sparks to another angle when it’s “item 7” as it ‘it’s said in Nigeria, this literally means it time for food. The ambience is always amazing lol, everyone is excited to get their portions and eat and then drink.

Normally, depending on the Organization of the occasion you meet, either it’s a buffet service or section by section servuce(that is the food is brought directly to you). Before I continue, for some of us who have experience the direct service will agree that sometimes something is always off, either the serving doesn’t go round or it does but some plates are a lot bigger and well palatable than the other or the meals are served without spoons. Pause now * (Here comes what I’m trying to say)

So my grandma told me that her dad was popularly known as “Oji ngaji eri” Don’t worry I will translate it. It actually means, “He who has spoon to eat” that said let me got ahead, so you remember how I said while you attend a ceremony and the meals are brought directly to you and sometimes the servers either don’t carry cutlery or carry a few, yeah!!! So as told my grandma, her dad always had a spoon ready in his trouser pocket 😳😳😳😂😂😂😂😂

Yes!!! I’m not even joking!!!! He literally doesn’t bother waiting for any cutlery, he simple brings it out of his pocket and eat. She added by saying that, if he visits a household and the food is shared, he equally does the same thing 😂😂😂😂😂 that man, she further noted that, he was not never embarrassed by that action. He would often say that, why waste my time when I could just bring out my ready pocketed cutlery to dive in.

Thinking about it now in this very modern times, anyone found doing such will obviously be dragged on Twitter and social media entirely 😂😂😂😂 I wonder the name a person like that will be given.

I mean I have seen ridiculous videos of party goers who somehow leave their meat, only to be filmed unawares stuffing it in their bags😂😂😂😂 and one would wonder, what exactly is the person thinking and you see that it goes so viral that literally every entertainment page has the video with a caption.

Thinking about my great grandpa now, I wonder the name he would have gotten from online viewers, dear reader what would you name him if you knew about him from a video you saw online?

Scroll to enjoy my thoughts on the possible variety of cutlery’s I feel he may have used.

I find this one to be more like what he would use. Not too big, nicely made and it’s stainless too, easy to clean and put back in his pocket 🤔 that man!! Or…

Maybe this one, nice make with a deep base to help him get everything on his plate to his mouth 😂😂🤔🤔 this guy sha!!! Or maybe…



Either of this ones, as he would like them portable enough to fit into his trouser pocket. I wondered if he had many of them or just one special piece that fitted into his pockets. I was also thinking, like is it possible he had a different make for his trousers? i hear he was a tall fine man, hmmm. Imagine your signature style been having a spoon in one of your pockets hahahahah OMG what!!!, hell no!!

I don’t remember her specifically saying what brand of Cutlery he always had with him. Could it be stainless or wooden, I am told, our forefathers did well with craft and sculpting. 🤔

That question can only be answered if I am able to see grandma this Christmas and if at all she still remembers (Mama is older now)

If you had the opportunity what would be your best preferred name for my great grandpa. Drop your comment below….
