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 connection with hair and gist, its almost inevitable.

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 widowed and most widows around here think the world will not forgive them for daring to find love again. So please how are they not perfect for each other?

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.

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 give a minute of silence for the friendships and relationships that came to an end because of differing opinions about the two major contestants.

HAPPY VALENTINE

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 we are fasting and you said yes. Your case is with God.
Me: Bhet, iya you asked me..
Iya: So if I teII you to jump inside fire, you will jump?! Please close your mouth and eyes lets pray.
I am just sitting there like you betrayed me by testing me with food. You shouldn't have.
For many of us seeking the face of the Lord on the altar of prayer and fasting may all our heart desires be granted. The black man blood in us must keep pumping, we won't die on the line.
Have a wonderful week ahead.
Love,
Ifeoma N.

NO ONE OWES YOU!!

princess bad selfjI 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 related to you by blood, it is the person's job to become your Jesus? The answer to your many problems?
