When Last Did You Stand Up From A Chair Without Holding Something?
Let me ask you something, and please answer honestly in your mind.
When last did you kneel down to pray… and stand back up… without that sharp reminder in your knees?
When last did you sleep through the night without waking up because your leg, your hip, or your back was disturbing you?
If you paused before answering any of these questions, then I want you to know something:
You are not lazy. You are not “just getting old.” And you are definitely not alone.
What you’re feeling every day — that stiffness in the morning, that pain when climbing stairs, that fear of walking too far from home — millions of Nigerians your age feel the exact same thing. They just don’t talk about it.
Because in this country, we suffer in silence. We say “I’m fine” even when our body is crying.
Today, I want to talk about the pain nobody sees.
