WA-ZO-BIA

It's quite disheartening that Nigerians young and old are annoyingly tribalistic. There is unity in diversity as a wise man once said and honestly apart from language and a few cultural practices we are all the same. I was on Instagram a few minutes ago and there was this meme saying yoruba's are dirty/ugly/the cause of Naija's problem etc. , the meme didn't get to me as much as the arguments in the comments section. I didn't realize there was real hatred amongst Nigerians just because they are from different parts of the country. Corruption, terrorism, insufficient resources, unemployment are amongst the numerous problems this country is facing and somehow in the midst of it all we find times to resent one another for stupid ethnic bias our very uninformed predecessors passed on. I say uninformed because they were less informed about other peoples or their traditions and that is not completely their fault. As the world is becoming more integrated we should als...

MARRIAGING

Hi dears, I can't begin to apologize for my absence here. Writers block, Lagos traffic and a ton of insatiable clients kept me away. A lasting solution that would keep me active always is in the works. Anyway there's been marriage fever everywhere, people are getting married (and breaking up) and making the single ones out there dream of their own magical-dress-in-white-day. Don't get me wrong I am not a hater of happy things I am not just ready because some boxes on my to-do before marriage list ain't ticked yet. There are some basic things that we ladies need to do before we tie the knot, because the knot is really a knot that is not so easy to untie. A lot of young ladies out there get bored after getting married because they have to share all facets of their life with another individual. Here's a bucket list I put together of things to do before smiling to the alter with that man: Travel*** yes I mean it, go somewhere. See another town/state/country, w...

BRUME!!!

BRUME!!!     "BOY KILLS SISTER'S LOVER" one headline read,so many other newspapers didn't consider it front page worthy but  had a column or two carrying the story.      A few cases made it to court in here in Nigeria they just rot on an officers table at "Alagbon" same way the suspect rots away in the cell. Brume made it to court, the social media awareness was massive,BBM broadcasts,Facebook updates, there was even a viral video of him screaming and stomping off after killing his victim. Brume made it to court.          The sisters betraying tears, the viral video and embellished stories made him into a monster. Though she said nothing, the now heavily pregnant sister was obviously not crying over his incarceration, she worsened the case. In the courtroom questions were pushed at him, he was probed and defended in "big grammar" with the lawyers sometimes showing off for the cameras. He answered, defende...

Internet addiction.

          Hi dears, I am sure by now everyone knows how inconsistent my posts here have become...I'm quite sorry and I am working on creating a balance between everything.           Today's post springs from something I have found myself battling with recently and I would love to share my thoughts on the matter.            I am undeniably an Internet addict, I mean a junkie who can't possibly survive a few hours (not to imagine a whole day) without Internet. This is sad and I am trying so desperately to uncling myself from this "frenemy". Overtime I have gone to the internet for information, knowledge and sometimes to learn new skills, I hate to be in the dark on any subject whatsoever and my inquisitiveness was satiated online, unfortunately I took it to the next level.            I began looking...

My simple advice.

Well tomorrow some of us would go out and vote for whoever we think is the right person for our Presidential seat. I have nothing against any candidate but so many issues with both campaign teams. They make silly posters, stupid advert and to crown it up write extremely unrealistic speeches (*for I hate to imagine Buhari or Jonathan are the ones cooking up those empty promises speech).       I would like to state however that we shouldn't fool ourselves and don't let their stupidity swindle us: what 756,890 jobs are they providing when foreigners still own the biggest and best companies in Nigeria, what do they mean by giving our entrepreneurial opportunities when some of the so called graduates turn up every Friday night instead of reading their books and still pass because they sleep with the dean. How many of us really know and understand what corruption is? The head (ie President ) can only lead by example but we should all play our roles. Stop corruption b...
