Greatest Life Scam: ADULTHOOD!!!

Image
When I hear parents say "don't worry my girl, when you grow up" I just laugh so much because am like baby you don't know what you are getting into. Let's go down memory lane (childhood is just sweet) from when I can remember sha I will always pick my childhood over adulthood (some people have different opinion) so I should share what life was growing up Who doesn't miss days when your mama wakes you up in the morning (my mother still does, I don't know why and she comes to my room in the mid night to check if I am well covered or not) to prepare for school (my mother carries me sef)? I wasn't a spoilt child (omo butter) but once in a while I had opportunity to choose whatever I wanted for breakfast, lunch but never try it for dinner (dad would slap you) it's not advisable. I wasn't born with a silver spoon but life was sweet.. I didn't take cereal for breakfast (my papa no dey gree buy all those things put for house) and I liked the r...

My Hausa Diva at 55

Image
Yaaaaaay!!!! my baby is a year older and I feel on top of the world like am the celebrant. For friend's who do not know, I'm half Hausa because mum is from Sokoto. Let's share some moments with mum together. She grew from been called Aunty Titi by her children to Mum Oyin/Iya Oyin to Mother and Grandma (My cute nephew caused this one sha... always shouting grandma like she is his biological mother.. the thing dey pain me sef). Not every knows this story except my Kith and Kin International College mates and juniors then. On a fateful day after the strike that happened in 2011 where schools were not allowed to resume for a certain period, I was unconscious for 126 hrs. Flashback to 2011; I just left a secondary school where I failed my core subjects (Chemisty and Physics) don't blame it on me, all thanks to my father (he wanted me to go to a boarding school so badly) that made me stay at home for SS1 first time and half of second term. I struggled hard to ...

The Tale of Super Eagles and Nigeria

Image
One thing is certain and inevitable about Nigerians; when you disappoint them, you are in for it (them go insult you plus your generation together..) remember the Twitter community gave Victor Moses really cute names like fallen angel, mango tree, rain and all sorts during our first game against Croatia. When you make them happy you are a god oo.. So Musa scored a Brace (two goals) against Iceland, single handedly reassuring Nigerians again and lifting our hopes (that is what one man who has won world best four times in his life couldn't do.. mtchew) and Twitter is buzzing.. in fact Musa is still trending now sef. Reason why I really love Nigerians we stand by them when we have to and insult them in order to reset their brain (especially Victor Moses). MUSA now means M= making U= us S= smile A= Always Musa's First goal against Iceland I dislike this rubbish style of not causing upsets during the first half of the game (be playing like shepeteri children).. we...

Group of Death or Group of Victory

Image
Deja vu ooooo... Back in 2002 world, Nigeria and Argentina were in group F (I don't know the problem they have with Nigeria but ......) alongside England and Sweden and both countries crashed out of the group (this group was called group of death back then as the current Group D is called group of death). 2002 WORLD CUP  Hmmmm, after Argentina's loss to Croatia (3-0, Super Eagles sef try as una see sey Croatia scored stupid avoidable goals) the fate of Super Eagles lie in their hands. I hope Rohr and the boys put in more effort (they can't be Jersey FC and not make thing happen on the pitch this evening.. I can't deal if they lose oo) What happens to Nigeria by 4pm today? Will they overturn Argentina's loose to their victory? (I just remembered something sef..) Messi lovers, why is your boy so full of himself? On father's day, the Argentina players celebrated father's day in their camp and Uncle Messi who sees himself as a god decided not to a...

My Body, My Shape, My Size, My Pride

Image
Don't talk down on me because am fat (am not so fat though) just leave me to myself. The man in love with me at the moment loves my size (I actually love it more). It annoys me a lot when people just walk up to me and say *OROBO* (I give this look of but ki ni eleyi n so nah?) There are better ways to tell me to watch my weight oo, don't wake up one morning and tell me am fat. what I look like now!!!!! Some people don't even know there is an after effect to these things and they just say whatever and move on. I once had an encounter with a friend's friend (you needed to see this brother oo, he looked very unkept), and it was an experience that I won't forget soon. I got introduced to this guy by my friend (I won't mention her name so don't bother) cause she was trying to get me a boyfriend and decided to hook me up with her old time friend (rada rada re oo). Larhde's size in 2016 If there is anything I learnt from Covenant University it is ho...

The Journey So Far!!!

Image
Date back to September 2016…. you cannot imagine the joy in my heart as I decided to start writing again.. It took a whole lot to make up my mind, trust me I didn’t want to do this but I have friends who know my strength, what gives me joy and they pushed for so long.   Am about to give a summary of what I did, what I went through and how I got here and blogging is on from now till forever. September 2016, I started working as a contract staff at Rave Television, I worked under the programmes department of Rave Television while I waited for NYSC list.. I wanted to serve in Abuja (I already searched for accommodation without my father’s consent at that) and prayed so much that I get posted to Abuja.   Few weeks later, we got our posting letter. Hmmm, (don’t think about it oo) when I saw A, I jumped and my friend spoilt the moment when she said Akwa Ibom (Oyin nah Akwa Ibom oo). I fell into the chair and I felt disappointed because I anticipated so...
