The mysterious guy My birthday comes up on 29th of April. On the 28th I went for a birthday shoot alongside with my best friend who I call sexy Linda. After the shoot, we had lunch at Alice Restaurant which is Linda’s Favorite Restaurant. We head back to Linda’s apartment after the lunch. On getting to her hostel, there was a charming, dark and tall guy standing standing close to her apartment gate with her roommate’s friend called Dorcas. I greeted Dorcas and went in but…
The mysterious guy 2 After the warm welcome, we ate and we got talking, in the middle of our conversation he said “will you be my girl?”. I was shocked. I didn’t utter a word at that moment, instead I changed the topic and spoke about my experience at the zoo. He brought it up again but this time I said I would think about it. Deep down I knew the answer to the question already, I just didn’t want to make it easy. On 19th of May I told him YES, he was happy and he…
I wish she didn’t choose masculinity over humility. I was raised among boys as I was the only daughter of my family. I was told to do all chores, run errands while my brothers spend their time having fun.I was always forced to sleep at a certain time while the boys could stay up late watching movies. I strongly stand by the notion that boys and girls should be raised the same way. I never liked cooking even though I had no choice than to do it. I wanted to play like my…
Friendships can be hard There are somethings we weren’t told, and this is one of them. Friendship breakups are very very sad and no one told me how sad it can be to go through it. It can honestly be worst than a romantic relationship breaking up. Racheal and I have been friends for over three years. I enjoyed every bit of moment shared with her. We met in the science laboratory during our First year in school. It was just pleasantries at first then we later became best…
Peer Pressure Peer pressure is a thing we all face in our everyday activities. It is a feeling that one must do the same thing as other people of one’s age and social group in order to be liked or respected by them. Everyone deals with Peer Pressure, it is everywhere, starting from your environment, to high school, college, work place, social media. My first experience was when I got admission into high school, I was a dark-skinned girl and any time we go home for holidays,…
We can raise our daughters differently I used to wonder why Nigerian parents raised their children by putting fear in them?. We can do better with the way we raise our female children. Raising Female children with fear is one of the reasons why they go astray. Raising your kids by putting fear in them won’t make them better or good in anyway, you make them scared to talk to you, you deprive them of freedom of speech, you make them scared to express how they feel. I once…
Friendships I got my first experience of friendship in high school. My first best friend was Tade, we were in the same room in boarding school and she was always looking out for me. I remember when I was searching for my uniform and I was crying badly that I lost them, she went around each room asking everyone and later found it. I was happy someone cared for me outside my family. It was at that moment she became my best friend. I later found myself in clique of friends…
It’s a phase Everyone go through rough times but I want you to know it’s just a phase and it will definitely pass. I have been moody lately because things are not coming as planned. There are times we stay quiet and there are times we cry to bed, I just want you to know it’s not only you that’s going through this phase. Most times we say harsh words to ourselves, we say unfair words to God and ask him why he’s making you go through what you are facing but I just want you to…
Break the silence! I’m writing this with a broken heart. My question is, why is domestic violence so rampant these days? What can we do to stop it?... I came home for holiday two days ago, while in the shop with mom, a lady who happens to be our neighbor came in to get detergent and I realized her eyes were swollen. I waited patiently till she left and asked my mom what happened to her face. To my amazement, mom said she had a fight with her husband four days ago. I was…
