Temperament: I am Phlegmatic

My name is Phlegmatic. I'm a submissive introvert who lives to please others. I never think or act like I'm I'm better than others. I love peace so I try to avoid conflicts at all costs. I am well behaved and strictly adhere to laid down rules and regulation. I put others first and I can sacrifice my happiness for that of others. I find it difficult to say no and end up doing things I don't like just to make others happy.

I am very empathetic, trustworthy too. I blame myself even for others' mistakes just to make others feel better. I'm more supportive than critical and I seldom use offensive words. I like others making decisions for me because I'm very indecisive. I'm a natural follower and I'm good at it as I do not see myself leading. I'd rather do nothing than do the wrong thing. My pain is easily changed by others. I am introverted and enjoy time alone, I don't judge others and also do not strive for perfection.

I enjoy spending time with my friends and I stick with them no matter the cost because I put others first and I don't like being left. I hardly snap and when I do, it's after a long period of tolerance (might just cry instead). I'm calm, I live a calm life and I hate leaving my comfort zone. I'm very quiet and barely share my thoughts with others because I don't want to be judged or bother people with my issues. I'm an excellent listener and I take in the conversations of my friends.

I always pay attention and would give only supportive responses. I'm a very nice person and I'm usually taken for granted as a result. I hardly express my emotions externally, just internally. I depend on others instructing me on what to do, that's how I'm motivated. I may not stand out in a group but without me, nothing would work because I do most of the work. I am me because I am Phlegmatic.

My Marriage Story...So Far

I get to be asked about how marriage has been a lot by some of my unmarried friends. I’ve not even been married for long enough to be qualified to answer that question. From my little experience, marriage, like any other phase in life isn’t all smooth. It has its ups and downs. There’s an extra respect you get as soon as you get married. I get to be called MA a lot by people who wouldn’t ordinarily call me that and I’m wondering why. I guess it’s just the way the society has made it. Oh and I lost some friends as soon as I got the MRS title. Some people don’t care about how serious your relationship is, they’d still be on your ‘case’ but as soon as you say “I do”, they’d forget you like you never existed. This was good and bad for me because I considered some to be great friends but then, I guess I was wrong. Then there’s the pressure to get pregnant, I got lucky to get pregnant earlier than I thought though I wasn’t even ready. But before my body began announcing it, I still...

Dunsin's Kitchen - Second Year Anniversary

I’m not a fan of long WhatsApp posts hence the need to write, post and just share the link on one WhatsApp/Instagram post. I’m a bit rusty (writing-wise) sha but I’ll try. I want to talk about how Dunsin’s Kitchen (DK) started because it’s our second anniversary today. I never imagined being a cook at this time, not with banking and family stress. I’ve imagined selling food a couple of times and it was inspired by one boli and beans seller in Asaba during my NYSC in 2014. I told my friend Osaru then that I’d love to start a place like that and call it Boli Kitchen. We just used to laugh about it then plus I’m not really a fan of beans though I could cook it well if I wanted to. Fast forward to 2020, we had a guest- my husband’s colleague who I served jollof rice and she kept talking about how good it was. One day, she said she would love to buy if I could make it for her so I agreed. Then I decided to ask others if they’d like to buy so I wouldn’t be making a small portion and some agr...

My End Of The Year Note

Dear OTTH Readers, how are we? I'm very fine and I can smell 2016 already afterall it's just some hours from now so I guess I'd just use this medium to say merry Christmas in arrears and happy new year in advance. I hope we all "shouted out" to our uncles and aunties, class teachers, lol, don't mind me. I'm sure we remember those Christmas funfairs where kids shout out to their loved ones where some even cry while talking, it's very hilarious watching them. Okay, now to the reason we're here. This year wasn't so bad for me though it didn't start so well but I have a lot to be thankful for and I'm going to share them with you. Let's start with the negatives so the story can have a good ending. For about half of the year, I was jobless which means I was frustrated, broke, you know the drill. Recently too, I lost my school's Vice Chancellor, Mrs. Esther Tchokatcheu who played a very important role in the process of my being a gr...
