THE PHONE THAT CAUSED TROUBLE
There was a man, Baba Tunde. He was 60 years old, but he just bought his first smartphone.
His son taught him: "Papa, this is WhatsApp. You can send voice note. This is Facebook."
Baba Tunde was excited. He started pressing everything.
One day, Baba Tunde wanted to send "Good morning" to his wife in the kitchen.
But instead of sending to his wife, he sent a voice note to the church WhatsApp group with 200 people.
In the voice note, he said: "My wife, your soup yesterday was salty like sea water. And you snore like generator. I love you sha."
The whole church group saw it. They started laughing. "Baba Tunde don enter trouble!"
Before Baba Tunde could delete it, his Pastor replied: "Baba Tunde, we have heard. Please come and see me after service for counseling."
Baba Tunde's wife saw the message too. She was angry. She did not cook for 3 days.
Baba Tunde went to his son: "Please, how do I delete WhatsApp?"
His son laughed: "Papa, you cannot delete WhatsApp. You have to learn to check before you send."
Baba Tunde learned his lesson. Now, before he sends any message, he asks his wife: "Is this okay to send?"
And his wife replies: "If you send nonsense again, you will sleep outside."
From that day, Baba Tunde became the most careful man on WhatsApp.
Moral: Check twice before you press send. WhatsApp does not forgive.
THE PHONE THAT CAUSED TROUBLE - PART 2
After that church group wahala, Baba Tunde said he will never use WhatsApp again.
But his son bought him a new phone for his birthday. This time, Baba Tunde said: "I will only use it to watch news."
One day, Baba Tunde was watching a video of a young girl dancing on TikTok.
He did not know that his finger pressed "LIKE" and "COMMENT".
He commented: "Beautiful girl, you dance well. Come and marry my son."
The girl replied: "Thank you sir, I am 16 years old."
Baba Tunde panicked! He ran to his son: "My son, police will arrest me! I told a 16-year-old to marry you!"
His son laughed until he fell down: "Papa, that is TikTok, not marriage bureau. Everybody comments like that."
Baba Tunde was still shaking. He said: "Delete this TikTok. Delete everything!"
But the next day, Baba Tunde's video went viral. People were sharing his comment. They said: "This Baba is the funniest Baba on TikTok."
A company even called him: "Baba Tunde, we want you to advertise our product. We will pay you 500k."
Baba Tunde's wife heard 500k and shouted: "My husband is now a celebrity! Bring the phone!"
Now Baba Tunde is a TikTok star. He makes funny videos with his wife. His most famous video is: "How to survive your wife's salty soup."
His wife cooks, he eats, he makes funny face, everybody laughs.
And the 16-year-old girl? She now calls Baba Tunde "Grandpa" and they do videos together.
Moral: Sometimes your biggest mistake can become your biggest blessing. Don't be afraid of phone, just learn how to use it.
