Okay so, last week I decided to shut down my blog. Writing wasn’t the problem (I write everyday) but I didn't have the zeal to post anything. People stopped reading my posts. Some read and called me to complain about the content (that’s a story for another day). MANY had opinions on what I should do/write about in order to increase my readership. Eventually blogging became more work with less gratification. So on Saturday, I told my friend Sommy I was thinking of closing shop. Sommy: When things like this happen, you have to remember why you started in the … [Read more...]
I don’t “Dear Future Husband”
Happy Hump Day People! I hope you are having an amazing (and productive) week thus far! Okay so, I was “concentrating” on my work, minding my business when I received a watsapp message from a good friend of mine. It read “Dear Future husband, I ran 2 miles this morning. You’re welcome.” I replied “lmao! please eh, no too vex, but what does your workout have to do with my future in law?” Her response, “well not everyone likes working out like you. I am doing it to keep my body tight for his bragging rights.” (I only have permission to share to this point of our … [Read more...]

Happy Friday Beautiful People!! You made it through another week - HOLLER!!!!!! Okay so quick question - have you ever stopped to think of what the people in your life “truly” think of you? Asin, if I asked someone (who really knows you) what he/she had to say about you, can you confidently say you’ll get a thumbs up? Curious as to why this piqued my interest? In the words on Kevin Hart ‘let me explain...’ I met up with one of my dear friends for drinks after work last night at Skyroom (on W 40th between 8th and 9th Avenue). We were catching up on what's been … [Read more...]
Aunty NEPA
During one of my recent trips to Nigeria, I went to the NEPA office to buy credit for my mom’s meter. Brief History: NEPA (The National Electric Power Authority also known as Never Expect Power Always) switched their payment system. Previously, power bills were generated after “technicians” went door to door to read meters to identify the amount of power you utilized in a month. Now, it’s a pay-as-you-go system whereby customers purchase meter-credit and you have power (when there isn’t outage) until your credit runs out. Okay so, I went down to the office at … [Read more...]
RELOADED
HELLO PEOPLE!!!! Miss me? Lol! I know I disappeared last month. Forgive me… I'm happy to report that I am back again to disappear no more! HOLLER! Lol! Okay so, when I started this blog, I honestly had no vision for it. I like telling stories and I love to write. So I created this blog as a platform to do so. With time, I realized, the problem of not having a clear vision of my own is: I started to listen to (and even depend on) the advice of everyone else. BIG MISTAKE! Eventually, all the shoulda woulda coulda got to me. I regretted creating this blog and … [Read more...]
