WELCOME TO 2017!!!

This time last year, I was too ill to talk to anyone; too weak to handle my mobile and put up a post. My brother, mum and sister were worried sick. They didn't like the thought of me entering the new year with any form of ailment. I couldn't help it.  Eventually, I did enter the new year sick (although I pretended to be well) and remained so until about three days into 2016.

I went for the crossover service at my home church in Kano state and ended up sleeping throughout the service. I only woke up when it was time for the final prayers and the usual Happy New Year' shouts at exactly 12am.

This year is different.

I couldn't make it to any church for the crossover service (blame my village) but I'm strong and healthy. I'm online and active. My brain is working fine.
I'm thankful for this and many more.
2016 was great for me. I count my blessings alot and I often name them.

My family is strong, healthy and happy.
Sis and I graduated from the University.
Bro became a daddy
Mum is stronger and happier
I started a blog
I opened a page
I earned some cash
I made some friendships and connections
I took some stuff in my life seriously
I walked out on some people and watched some others walk out on me for the right reasons
I made certain tough decisions
I learned a lot and unlearned a lot too
I embraced my fears
I got better
I found ME
God came through for me
I haven't looked back and I have no regrets. My life isn't anything next to perfect but it is beautiful and I am happy.

I'm going forward and I'm getting better.
 Thanks for being a part of my 2016. With you, my year was awesome.
#Blessings
Happy New Year Fam
2017 will be huge.

The Error of 'Don't you Know you are a Girl? '

Part 1 Dear Society, When you want to correct a female going wrong, especially a child,  do not remind her that she is a girl. Do not tell her to stop because she is a girl. Tell her to stop and change because her actions are wrong. When she wears a skirt and sits with her legs wide open,  tell her to close them because it is wrong to sit with your undies exposed. When she talks arrogantly,  correct her because it is wrong to speak that way. Don't tell her to be polite because girls should be. Sensible humans are polite. Politeness is not gender specific. When she dresses indecently,  correct the wrongness of the dressing. Don't make it about her gender. Decency doesn't apply to one gender. When she is unable to cook at 18, remind her that it is only reasonable for an adult to be capable of making food for his/her survival. No gender needs the skill more. When she rides her car in a rough manner,  remind her that wrong driving has sent many to their...

ONE NIGHT

They met at a bar Him a fine, reserved  young man Her a bubbly young woman Once she set her eyes on him She knew she wanted him So she went and she sat and they talked About life, love, family,  work, About  Everything They talked their souls away Late into the night It felt like they were old friends They bonded And when they raised their heads It was midnight And they were alone 'Let's go to your place' she suggested She could not bear to spend a second without him "Oh No! " Yours will be fine They left in the darkness of the night The security man opened the gate 'Welcome Aunty' He said "Thank you" She opened the door to her house and they walked in, He gazed into her eyes Her feet were unsteady She closed her eyes and waited And come did he The taste of his lips was a mixture of orange juice and alcohol and cream It drove her mad Carefully he kissed her And when his hands went to t...

Lagos Na Wa :4

Written on August 15th at 10:42am Happening now I'm on my way to the office The office driver just pointed out something to us Along Lekki - Epe express way,  there is a body cut in two on the road. I can't detect where it is a man or a woman Half of the body; from the waist down is lying on the road. We cannot see the other half It wasn't there when we drove past last night The accident must have happened in the middle of the night or early this morning Or could it be the handwork of ritualist and kidnappers? Could they have dragged it out to the road themselves? The Road Safety men are directing commuters so they don't run over the body I'm scared now #LagosNaWa #JayTeeSays
