TAKING STOCK: FEBRUARY

by 22:15






Can you really say you are in March if you have not received any message saying, 'May you march forward into your destiny'.

Happy New month fam!! But first of all, a quick recap of the month of February.

TAKING STOCK: JANUARY

by 14:19

The thing with writing taking stock posts is that sometimes you forget the highlights of the month, well for me at least, so I end up taking stock for the week that just passed.
This month I decided to be more intentional and actually jot down whatever I felt stood out for me.
Hi *good person who still reads my blog even though I am inconsistent AF * Guys!!
Do I say Happy New Year or do I carry on like nothing happened? Decisions. Decisions. Decisions.
Now that, that is out of the way, how are you? If fine, glory be to God.  

LAGOS LIVING: SALLAH HOLIDAY

by 17:44

Hi Guys!!

How you doing? (in Wendy's voice)

How was your holiday? It was much needed, right?

Well as usual I planned to sit at home and tweet but we thank God for friends who want to chop your money (side eye Ebuka) so they force you out lest it be said that you are an akagum. This is a post for another day.

A DOSE OF MALE COURAGE

This is a rant.
Some weeks ago I received this message from a young man that used to work as a mover at my former place of work.

DRIVING LESSONS WITH MR SURU

by 19:59

Hi guys!!
It’s been a while init?
A lot has happened in my life in the past few months, let me give a quick recap:

WINNERS AND LOSERS: WEEK 3

by 18:43


Hi Guys!!
There is no excuse for my inconsistency with this column, so I will just apologise. I am sorry, because to who much is given much is expected.

So far so good, a lot has happened, one scandal here another there. There is no time to recover from one, then you get dished another.

And to be honest, I love it!!!

7 LESSONS I LEARNT FROM CHUDE'S JOY SESSION

by 16:33
Chude: So introduce yourselves. Why did you come?
Ifeoma: I realised that I have a destination addiction.At a certain stage in my life, I swore that I was sad because I didn't have enough money. Now I am just a little above the poverty line, I can offset some of my bills and I am still not happy.
I turn 25 in two months and I can't remember what I did with my youth.I spent it worrying for this future.

WINNERS AND LOSERS:WEEK 2

by 21:12





Hi guys!!

On today's winners and losers, I will be reminding you that Nigeria doesn't care for you, so lets all find every opportunity to live the Nigerian dream.

Just in case you are not aware, the Nigerian dream is to move to Canada and allow cold kill you, better to die in snow than without light.

That is why these 'I am a King in my country' people make me chuckle. What is this royalty you speak of? What is glorious about a 56 year old baby? Don't sell me that 'Nigeria has potential' dream.
Not today, Satan.

WINNERS AND LOSERS: WEEK 1

by 15:56

I decided to start a new column this year, where I do a weekly review of events that happened what I think and declare winners and dish out Ls for losers to chop.

This idea came on one of those days I planned to meet up with Layo, the plan was to make a video while she drove and she will be my co-presenter for banter sake.

That date did not happen because life happens, so I decided to just write till I am ready to start the YouTube channel, but what is a YouTube channel without a white man as a co-presenter and husband?
I digressed.

YOU ARE NOT A SAVAGE

by 14:58
I have noticed in recent times that when people decide to take uselessness to another level they tag that action 'petty' or 'savage'.

This upsets me because I don't think neologism came this far for you to appropriate the wrong meaning to words. I think the word you are looking for is rude, mannerless, ill-mannered, and disrespectful. I can go on and on.

TAKING STOCK: LESSONS LEARNT FROM 2016

by 15:43

2016 has been one helluva year, it started colorless for me and it became bland and next thing I know I see colours everywhere.
I know everyone has said one thing or the other about this year, but somehow God came through for me.
The soundtrack to my life this year was Intentional by Travis Greene. I realized that everything happens for a purpose and God is intentional about the happenings of my life.

I have decided to share the lessons I learnt this year and I hope it causes you to reflect and appreciate the little things around you.

MY EXPERIENCE AT THE PLATFORM YOUNG PROFESSIONALS BOOTCAMP

by 17:30



I applied for The Platform’s Young Professionals Bootcamp because Chude Jideonwo was going to be a part of it, for the past 1year I have been a Chude fan girl and I got chosen.

So yeah for me!

I AM WITH HER

by 16:14
Mama Niyen!!



As I slept on the 8th of November, 2016, I expected to wake up to a Hilary Clinton win. It was only right.

I am a woman's woman. But I am not one of those women that will support women just for the sake of women, there is something patronizing about that. Hilary’s message was right and beyond that, she was way too qualified.

TAKING STOCK:THREE

by 14:20


Realizing: that taking stock is making me a lazy blogger, but it gives me the opportunity to blog once a month.

Taking: a fast off social media and surprised at how terribly I did. I decided to get off social media because I felt it was too much of a distraction. I started by deleting Instagram and Twitter off my phone hoping that things would change. But I realized that social media or not, I am not a very good time manager.

TAKING STOCK:TWO

by 18:54
As upcoming fashion blogger that I am


Happy New Month!! This is way too late, but Happy Independence Nigeria.

ON THE COUCH WITH BOBRISKYY

by 13:49
Oshey!! Baddest
I am a Bobcat. I love Bobriskyy for someone who is not on Snapchat, I know quite a lot about him. 


Some fun facts about Bobriskyy:

  • The Bob is a cream seller by day and  a motivational speaker and relationship expert at night. He is famous for quotes like:
'If you don't risk things in life, you can never get there' 
' If your bae is a broke azz. delete his number'
  •  He is in love with the letter 'R', what salt is to soup is what 'R' is to Bobriskyy.
  • He is always on fleek, that's probably why haters won't let him be.


Add your own fun facts in the comments section.


TAKING STOCK:ONE

by 14:46
Hi guys!! Happy new month to you too! Its my prayer that all your dreams become your reality this month.
I decided to take stock this month , till the rest of the year. I will be taking a leaf out of Sharon from thisisess.com's book.
Reading: There was a country by Chinua Achebe. Layo and I decided to start our book club last month and that was supposed to be our first book. Let's just say we failed even before we started, but we don't back down, so we will continue this month.

8 REASONS WHY I NEED A CAR

by 15:36


If you follow me on twitter (I don't know why you are not though), almost everyday I have something to say about my yellow bus experience,from the lovers sharing ube to LASTMA seizing the bus (how do you seize a whole bus though?) How can one person be that powerful?

I think I am done. I think the universe should reward me with a car. I know I sound entitled but please allow me.
In this post I state my reasons and I explain them to the best of my ability.

STAY WOKE!

by 13:39
We are in the age of political correctness.
Everyone stays woke.
You can't say anything without it being over analysed by strange persons.
Its a good thing and a bad thing.
It means people are not careless with their utterances.
You can't afford to be a closet tribalist or homophobe or an overly religious person, you will be found out.

MY ICEBREAKER SPEECH

by 10:37
In my previous posts I shared about how my auditions went and how disappointing that day was for me.
Well I took a first step in conquering my fears and gave my first speech at my Toastmasters club.
Toastmasters is a club set up for communication and leadership development.
My club meets twice a month at 5th Floor, Atlantic House, 234 Solomon Louis Close, Victoria Island, Lagos (just behind the Silverbird galleria).
If you are in the neighborhood, you can drop by or check the Toastmasters website for a club near you.
So this is my first speech, its titled,' Things I have learnt in overcoming fear'.
I hope its worth your time.
