Straight From The Horse's Mouth

Hello everyone,
Rise and shine people, it’s a beautiful day!!! 

Hope you all had a good weekend, and the mothers had a nice mothers’ day celebration here in Nigeria. Someone asked if we didn’t just celebrate International Women’s Day; yes we did, and we should celebrate mothers daily. Being a mother has undoubtedly made me appreciate the sacrifices my mother went through all the more. We deserve it, the fathers try too, but common, mothers rule the world by shaping the lives we carried, birthed and nurtured.

Going Beyond the Rhetoric

You know one of those times you have a lot to say, but don't know where to start from? That's me today. I have a lot on my mind, and I don't know where to start from. 

Have you noticed how topics/issues just trend on social media, especially on the Nigerian internet space, for a while, then we move on to the next. While it trends, everybody wants to write about it, or be part of that discourse.

Happy International Day of Happiness!!!

Did you know that since 2013, 20th March of every year is celebrated worldwide as the International Day of Happiness? Well, it is and it might seem trivial to some, but the pursuit of happiness is apparently a fundamental human goal which we erroneously leave in others' hands. The pursuit of happiness is defined as a fundamental right mentioned in the Declaration of Independence to freely pursue joy and live life in a way that makes you happy, as long as you don't do anything illegal or violate the rights of others. 

When the Anointed Touch Themselves

Have you heard of Jimmy Swaggart?I must confess I didn't know of him until a few days ago, and I went to read up and watch videos, and boy, did he make an interesting read. I believe all these flamboyant, spirikoko 'men of God' would probably pale in comparison to Jimmy, yet he slipped.What I found intriguing was not that he was caught with prostitutes, rather the role played by a fellow pastor, Marvin Gorman, whom he, Jimmy, had shamed in the 1986 when the story of Marvin's infidelity came to fore. According to reports, Jimmy was quite vocal in condemning other preachers who were caught up infidelity themselves, never knowing his own day was gonna come.

Who's Watching the Watchers?

News broke on Monday that a Lagos High Court has ordered the National Agency For Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) to order the Nigerian Bottling Company (NBC) to put a written warning on Fanta and Sprite containers that it is poisonous to drink them with Vitamin C. Apparently, a Nigerian,

It's My Birthday!!!

Yay!!!! Happy birthday to me!!!

On this date, 34 years ago, on a beautiful Sunday morning, this lovely gal bounced her way into this awesome world of ours, bringing rays of sunshine into the world. Hehehehe...

Of course I'm not going to write about anything else today, I'm just gonna relax and enjoy the day. I'm super grateful for sooo many blessings in my life; when I look at where I was, where I am, and the better days are ahead, I give all praise to my God, my father who watches over me always. I pray to have the willpower to give back to the society and to do good as much as I can (can't say always, lol).

Enjoy your week, and remember to live to the fullest because you only live once (YOLO). 

May God bless the works of our hands this week and beyond, Amen. 

Feminist, not Misandrist

Hello everyone,

How has your week been? Stressful, easy, or just boring? Whichever one, we're still thankful that the weekend is here again. Got some parties to attend to this weekend, so it's gonna be a fun one, lol.

Still in the spirit of International Women's Day, I wish to write about two words which a lot of people have often misused, some out of pure ignorance and some deliberately out of mischief. 

Be Bold For Change

Growing up, especially when puberty set in, I wished I was a boy. In my mind, they had it easier, nobody taunted them for developing breasts as I was embarrassed when mine started coming out and some people would actually say 'hey see Nneka o, she has started developing breasts', I was mortified and wished the ground would open up and swallow me. Also,

On the Issue of Consent

I love this country!! Never a dull moment, I swear! There's always one scandal brewing on the social scene, from our actress claiming someone's dogs as hers, to one of the housemates in the Big Brother naija getting disqualified for sexual offences, now a controversial Nigerian Pastor is being accused of impregnating a young girl and having her arrested when she refused to abort the pregnancy. We stay busy, don't we? We're not complaining though; with the situation of things in Nigeria, we can do with some form of amusement, albeit at other people's expense. Sad, but true.

The above quote came to my mind this morning when I was listening to the radio while getting dressed for work. My favourite radio station in Abuja is Rhythm fm;

To Fast or Not To Fast

Welcome to my birth-month, March! Yipeee!!! My birthday is in 12 days, and I'm excited. I'm never too old not to get excited about my birthday, so let the gifts roll in pleasseee... lol. May this month be a blessed and fruitful month, may we never miss a good opportunity and may peace fill our hearts and homes, amen.
