BEASTS OF NO NATION

by 12:01
DISCLAIMER: I am not a deep person.
This post is quite random.
I went to see Beasts of No Nation during the week and for some reason I liked it. It was different from the other movies that interest me.
Let me not lie, I watched to fulfill scriptures. You know that part of the Bible that says,’ can anything good come out of Jerusalem?’

#RAYRICE

by 11:05
Yesterday night the internet was abuzz with a leaked elevator video that showed NFL player Ray Rice hitting his then fiancee. He hit her, dragged her like a bag of akpu and a month after she became his wife. If you know me well, you know i hate physical violence especially in a relationship. Whether its from the male or female partner. I don’t think anyone deserves to be physically abused irre...

DANFO CHRONICLES

by 10:58
I am at the jumping bus phase of my life, at this stage I am appreciating the little things, the conductors feisty attitude, the unpleasantness of my fellow passengers that could be in the form of an attitude or body odor. Lmao!!! What is this nonsense I am typing? No matter how much English I speak danfo is danfo and I won't even try and see the silver lining there. Whenever I board a bus, thes...

HAIRSTYLING IN LAGOS 101

by 19:22
This is a rant!! You know how you go to the salon and you meet a customer who has an attitude? You don't like her because you think she is really being rude . But do you notice something? Her hair gets done. She looks fabulous and you with all your humility pant dey wear you. I have noticed that these Lagos stylists don't listen. Especially the ones on the island, all that attitude when you are n...

TEACHERS ARE BAE

by 10:22

It's teacher's appreciation day!! I think we don't celebrate our teachers enough. Teaching is one profession that requires a lot of stamina both physical and emotional.
For me, it can be a heartbreaking venture.

Guys, Guys!! This is a public service announcement, 2face aka InnoBaby,Innocent Idibia is 40!!
Today feels like a public holiday. 2face is a legend. Did I see you squeeze your face?  Ehn! Ehn! I did not stutter,  I did not stammer. He is a legend, the best thing that happened to Nigeria since we discovered crude oil.
I have followed his music from Plantashun Boiz to his Kennis Music days and I have seen growth.

Fear not, I have not moved to the light side, that is just filter.
I was discussing with my younger sister and a friend of hers came to mind, and I asked after her. She told me she had just ended things with her boyfriend.
For the sake of this piece, lets call her Ainu.

THE LINE BETWEEN HEARTBREAK AND SUICIDE

by 13:13
 I saw a disturbing video on Instagram of a Ghanaian lady who jumped down a 40 storey building because her husband was cheating on her with her mom and they were both pregnant. I was just sad, I cried: the way her bones broke upon hitting the ground. My God!!
I watched that video and these were the lessons I got from it.

MY TOP TEN SONGS SINCE I ENTERED LAGOS

by 11:32
Quick question: If you just came back from Imo to Lagos because of NYSC, are you an #IJGB (I Just Got Back)? Do I get to brand myself with that name?  No?  Alright.
So I just discovered some new songs since I got to Lagos, apparently they are not new but I might have been living under a rock. So here is my list :

It's my prayer that in this new month we all experience favor, we make progress and we take steps that will take us closer to our dreams. I am taking up some volu...

AN OPEN LETTER TO ETISALAT NIGERIA

by 13:59
Dear EN,
I don't know how to write this letter without covering my face in shame. I am filled with ashame.

LOVE OR PESTILENCE

by 12:28
we were literally rubbing shoulders with Mai When Friday night, while the whole of Lagos was turning up, I was helping my cousin take out her kinky braids and we were just having random conversations from how her daughter said her nanny looked like a zebra because she wore a black and white stripped dress to how her pastor keeps rallying for followers on twitter. I still need to find the connec...

WHAT HAS LOVE GOT TO DO WITH AGE?

by 12:59
Yesterday, the Governor of Edo State exchanged vows with the beautiful Lara Forte and the most people were shouting 'gold digger' upandan. Issorai.. Their argument was that, didn’t she find a young man her age to marry, and he his own age. Many fail to understand that most men her age are either married or chasing 18 year old girls. Even women in the governor's age bracket are married or widowe...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

I don’t know about many people, but for my family there is an unwritten rule that if you add color to your hair, the heaven might come down to the earth, thunder might strike.

#NIGERIADECIDES

by 08:39
The elections are finally here!! The deadly day has arrived. No one is more excited than I am, the elections  were getting to me. It even lowered Fashola and JK's IQ, but I have forgiven them. The annoying part of it was the constant mudslinging at their uninspiring rallies with Chioma Jesus and her colorful hats belting out tunes, holding their ridiculous umbrellas and brooms. Please let's gi...

HAPPY VALENTINE

by 05:53

Single girls be like. 

Happy Valentine.. I had this post figured out, first of all rant about why the elections were fixed on Valentine's Day (not that I had any reason to complain, as Jesus is still the boo),  rant about the election jingles, the way the party supporters were taking the elections like government work, the friendships that suffered untimely death because of differing opinions. 

CONVERSATIONS WITH MY MOTHER

by 12:31
Fasting period Saturday 17th,2015 9am Iya: Oma there is akara and bread. Will you eat?! Me:(smiles foolishly) Yes!! Iya:Oya, go and take Me: Thank you!! 3pm Iya: Let's pray Me:( sluggishly gets out of the bed) ehm, I am coming Iya: I don't know where you will take this attitude to, you are not spiritual. Too lazy. I asked you if you will eat bread, you said yes and added thank you.  And you know ...

NO ONE OWES YOU!!

by 13:42
I heard my friend whining about how she had been unemployed for a while and how her uncle who worked in one of Nigeria's biggest bank was at ease and never asked for her CV. I am there thinking, in this new year, we are blaming people for our misfortunes,already? I was a little ticked off. How did she get to this stage of entitlement? Who deserves joblessness? Who? So because someone is/might be r...
