Our differences I noticed Rachel has been acting cold all these while, but I didn’t give it a thought. On Monday, I broke the good news to her that my boyfriend sent me some money for Christmas . At first she was happy and planning with me on the type of human hair wig I should get for Christmas, then all of a sudden she became cold. It was time for lunch, I woke her up to inform her that her food was in the kitchen but she said she wasn’t interested in the food. I ate mine…
Loneliness I was surfing the internet on a Tuesday afternoon when I got so bored and my examination had just been postponed base on some reasons by the school authority. I was so bored to the extent that I got tired of my phone and decided to go sit on the bench at my hostel’s veranda. I sat there listening to Bad Habits by Ed Sheeran. After a while, I felt the bench I sat on was a bit firm, then I opened my eyes to see who sat next to me, it turned out to be the new guy who…
Focus more on your main priority! The one thing I crave for is success in my academics. As a student there should be nothing more important than paying close attention in class and coming out in flying colors in every examination. Yes, we have challenges that come up being students, there’s peer pressure, there’s the urge to make money, we’ve kept ourselves on a race to be better than our parents financially. There’s relationship that hang around being an adolescent or…
Beware of ignorance! If there’s one thing I would love to work on, it will be ignorance. I’ve lost many opportunities due to ignorance. Ignorance is a lack of knowledge and information , it describes a person as being unaware of certain things. Recently, I was having a conversation with a close friend and in the middle of the conversation she said, “I’m in Canada, tee” I screamed. I was so happy. I finally came to my senses, and asked if it was the program that took her…
What we do for love First of all, I’m so happy for my sweet Friend. She finally got to travel to London for her masters program. Christiana is my cousin’s ex girlfriend. They dated all through their college days and even after school, they started working in different organizations . Everyone thought they were going to marry each other, because they couldn’t do without each other. I loved their relationship and I always wished for one, because as at that time I didn’t have…
It’s my dad’s birthday I’m so grateful to God for sparing my Pops life to witness his 68th birthday on earth. I return all glory to God. I’m filled with so much enthusiasm because my dad is my favorite person on earth. My daddy calls me his little Angel, I don’t know why, but he just believe so much in me. I’m happy to have one of the greatest dad in the world, he’s soft-hearted, he keeps no grudges, a lover of hard work and education. He raised us with everything he had, he…
Separate your feelings from the facts! Feelings are not fact! Feelings are a response to facts. Your feelings maybe that you feel discouraged, your feelings maybe you feel so concerned about your future, the feeling that you’re anxious what’s gonna happen, what’s in store for the future. I’m so worried about what I don’t know about that I can’t control. Am I smart enough? am I good enough? am I prepared enough? am I qualified enough for the job I’m doing? am I qualified to…
I had no idea I was falling into crazy love I was a very strong woman in love with a deeply troubled man. I loved him more than anybody else. He felt like the whole world to me, I wanted nobody around except him. I’m about to tell a story of crazy love, a psychological trap disguised as love. One that millions of women fall into every year. I met Daniel on a cold raining Saturday, he sat next to me and started chatting me up. What made the biggest impression on me at our…
Reconciliation with my best friend Happy New Month Friends🤍! I’m so sorry I haven’t been stable here. I’ve been busy with different assignments lately, the assignments are been used as our test and it so stressful that I barely have time for myself. In one of my articles, I wrote about friendship breakups which I experienced with my best friend. Last week Friday, I went to the library to study a course material. There’s a particular row my friend and I do sit on, so on…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
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…
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…
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…
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…
