Society: Your Environment Affects You

Image
I grew up in Lagos, I always consoled myself that my street was better than Ajegunle. Actually, it is. I grew up in the ghetto. I ain't from a rich family,twenty something years ago, it was one of the most beautiful places in Lagos, my compound was neat and had flowers all over, but as years passed, things changed. The once tarred road changed to the most dreaded road like the road at Aba (if you have been to Aba, you will understand ). There in the ghetto, I saw things but I wasn't allowed to say them. I could only see these things and imagine them. Now I can write them. I saw fathers sleep with their daughters because they were obsessed with their daughters and got jealous at the thought of seeing a male with their daughters. I saw wives sleep with other men to provide for the family and also make it seem their husbands are responsible. I saw kids that were neglected by their parents join bad gangs. I saw boys as young as 10years old smoking indian hemps, "igbo

Society: What's Your Reason For Marriage Ladies?

Image
I've only attended just one wedding in my life. I don't like attending weddings. I have phobia for it. I attended one last year, she's a nice person, for reasons best known to her she wanted me to grace her wedding. Thinking of it, maybe because I was the wedding planner. Anyways, she spent money because her husband to be THEN (husband NOW) is a politician. She had about 10bridals train, 10 flower girls and 10 pin up girls. All the whatever they wore on their body that day was sponsored by her. She paid for their hair, bought the brazilian weavons, paid for the clothes, shoes, earrings and every thing. Very expensive wedding it was. Instead of giving books, fans as souvenirs, she gave out pots, expensive hand bags, shoes, gas cookers etc. You go fear wedding now. She was 6months pregnant when she got married. She wore her white gown still, and looked angelic. The movers and shakers of the society also graced her wedding but something was odd, I saw it and

YOU MIGHT GET ANGRY, ermmm, DO I CARE? NO!!! Years back when I was still whisked by love, I met this fine young man. He had a top spot in an oil company, very intelligent, handsome too and was a gentle man. He was light skinned, had the looks of Michael Ealy (have you seen the movie for colored girls? He's that troubled dude that threw his 2children from that 4storey building? He's also that chef in Think Like a Man) remember him now? Good! He had a combination of Micheal Ealy, Terrence J and Chad Murray (Oh Lort, I just died so much cuteness in one person ) Well, maybe I'm exaggerating, but he was such a fine young man. So we liked each other, he always called me and I did call too. I noticed anytime we had any misunderstanding, he would threaten to kill himself, at first, I thought it was normal lines. But anytime there was a misunderstanding or an argument, he would threaten to kill himself. I was scared as I won't want to be responsible for someo

Society : Do males gossip?

Image
It's been proven that males are "amebos" than females, not withstanding, Every lady needs a mature man in her life, not for dating, not for marriage, not even for sex, but someone she can talk to and be free with. I have a friend, he's a mature man, we have been friends for 2years now but it's like we have known each other for years. No one knows my husband except 2 people, no one knows my boyfriend except 2 people, no one knows who my best friends are except 2 people, and these 2 people no one knows who they are. I don't know what the future holds for me, but I know I won't have a snitch as a friend.. Be careful of bitter people, with their bitter lives, that run or speak ill or say things about others to make themselves feel good. Be careful of people that are angered about life. They will never encourage you, all they do is discourage you and then blame the witches in their village for the problem they are facing. According to Farida

Cultists kill mate at girlfriend's birthday party in Ondo Bolaji, a 21-year-old student in Ondo, headquarters of Ondo West Local Government Area of Ondo State met his end when he least expected. He was killed at a birthday party he organised for his girlfriend by suspected cultists.

Sources said a friend introduced the deceased to a leader of Eiye Confraternity who after a minor argument used a dangerous weapon to kill him in the presence of his girlfriend and other guests. This led to serious clash between the two rival cult groups and brought an abrupt end t

A Letter To My Children About Fifty Shades Of Grey

Image
My Precious Children, Tonight, I succumbed to peer pressure (exactly what I caution you NEVER to do) and went with a bunch of girlfriends to see Fifty Shades of Grey. I ignored the little voice in my head that implored me to just say “no!” because, after all, it’s just a silly movie, right? Well, I wish I had done as I always tell you to do and given that voice credit because it was right. The thing is, I’m also kind of glad I didn’t because now I have these words for you. One day, in the not very distant future, I’m going to blink and gasp as I realise you’re suddenly old enough to see movies like Fifty Shades of Grey, yourselves. Of course, you or your friends may even decide that curiosity wins and risk sneaking a peek even earlier than that. Either way, I have to accept the hard fact that your innocent eyes and your uncorrupted minds are going to see this drivel sooner or later. I am writing this so that when that day comes, you’ll recognise Fifty Shades of Grey

Valentine's day celebrations

I'm my mother's little girl. I just entered SS1 and was feeling so fly like a big girl. You know that feeling you had when you were in senior secondary school? Same way I felt. Well, it was February, and guys were already asking their crush to be their val. Some got turned down, because the girls wanted their own crush to ask them the sweetest question of "will you be my val?" I was very popular that time because I specialized in designing cards and writing love letters for classmates that wanted to give it to that special someone. I made money, but I wasn't happy because no one was asking me to be their val. By 13th Feb, everyone had vals, even the least person you would expect had vals except me. I was moody. 14th came and all girls in school had a touch of red. From red ear-rings to red bracelets, to red hair ribbons, to red flowers tied to their socks. It was a beautiful sight to behold. During the morning assembly, the principal warned u

I can't remember the age I was when I first watched the movie "Mr Bones", maybe 11 or 12. It was the funniest comedy movie that time, I think it was rated PG because it had no sex scene, which was why I loved it. The movie "Mr Bones" made me understand that if a bird "shits" on your head, its a good sign that means you would be a king. Good!!! So after I watched "Mr Bones" , off I went on a search to look for a bird that will "shit" on my head.. This search went on for weeks but it was futile. One find day, I was playing "Suwe" with the other kids, and yes a bird "shit" on a girl's head... We all left the "Suwe" we were playing and on the chase of taking the shit off her head and rubbing it on ours The girl in turn was screaming "happily" because she thought she would be a king and maybe something good was gonna happen to her... Oh Lort!!! While she ran to her mum to share t

Science and Environment

Scientists say they have gained new insight into what lies at the very centre of the Earth. Research from China and the US suggests that the innermost core of our planet has another, distinct region at its centre. The team believes that the structure of the iron crystals there is different from those found in the outer part of the inner core. The findings are reported in the journal Nature Geoscience . Without being able to drill into the heart of the Earth, its make-up is something of a mystery. So instead, scientists use echoes generated by earthquakes to study the core, by analysing how they change as they travel through the different layers of our planet. Prof Xiaodong Song, from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign said: "The waves are bouncing back and forth from one side of the Earth to the other side of the Earth." Prof Song and his colleagues in China say this data suggests that the Earth's inner core - a solid region that is about

Ok... I have mixed feelings about this. Here's what happened, This man pictured here was forced to choose between his wife and his newborn son that has downsyndrome(I think we call it imbecile here in Nigeria) In Armenia, any child born with downsyndrome is assumed to be "cursed" and when this happens the child is thrown away or left to die, its like their culture/tradition, they don't even want the child when its born. Now, this man is from New Zealand but his married wife is an Armenian woman. When she gave birth, she had already told the doctor to throw the child away, even her family supported it. But the man, her husband didn't agree to it. He wanted the child so he took him. Well, his wife, the mother of his son has filed for a divorce, because she can't be with a cursed child. The man took to Facebook to get funds so he can go back to New Zealand where he can properly take care of his son, he needed $64,000 but he got $350,000. Acco

I went to an African cuisine, I've heard so much about Rivers soup otherwise known as Fisherman soup.. I wanted to have a taste of the soup, so I went very early to the cuisine here in PH. On arrival, I met 4 friends(2males and 2females) seated already. I said hi to them, they chorused hi. They were gisting and laughing at the top of their voice.. I don't know what happened, but one of the girls was looking at me. I saw her through the eyes on my forehead They were really making noise, so I wore my earpiece. I ordered for my food while I wait for her to prepare it, I sat down to watch the new episode of Suits. But these people, just won't let me concentrate on the movie. They kept laughing, I gave up and stopped watching it. Next, the other guy was playing a new song by Flavor, I don't know the title, never heard of it before, They were singing along... I was soo angry, but said nothing. Seeing I was angry, they laughed. Ok nah! I brought out my Noki

Religious Beliefs

Ok... My late neighbor belonged to a type of church that believes taking drugs is a sin. They(his family) believe so much in "faith" ... According to them, drugs don't heal but faith does. He was down with whatever, tests can't be carried out to be sure, so he can be helped medically. He was bed ridden for weeks, then he died. Their "Faith" didn't move mountain. I won't mention the name of their church. I also know a certain church that doesn't believe in blood transfusion. Its a sin so they say, as it would hinder them from going to heaven. Many people have lost their lives because they refused donating and receiving blood. People, You say abortion is a sin, because your Bible says it is, because it was written in your Bible. So that means if it wasn't written in the Bible, it won't be a sin to you? You say pre-marital sex is a sin, as written in the Bible. Masturbation is a sin as written in the Bible, shey? I'm inte

Ok... I went to a friend's house. Its like my second home, so I was very much comfortable. His girlfriend came in, we are not friends, we don't even talk, but because he was there and we both wanted to give him that respect like we do get along, we both said hi at the same time...(But didn't look at each-other) Deep down in our hearts, (especially mine, I dey vex say I even open mouth).. It was past 3pm. I was surfing the internet with my laptop, and she's one of these Nollywood freaks. She was so engrossed in the movie she was seeing and I was engrossed in the internet but stylishly looking at her. Well, my friend came in after taking his bath, with his 6packs and oooops, this girl(his girlfriend of course) was looking at him, his chest, body and his down part.. I saw it, but (as no be my bf na, I no vex) ... If I wasn't in the room, they would have done it. Ok! Lemme pause here... If I were a guy, and I saw what just happened there, the passio
