When I was 14 (in Nigeria), my dad went to the store and bought me a Christmas dress – as was the tradition for Christmas and Easter. Big mistake for this particular year. Mom should have gone with him – as she usually did. He came back with a peach and ivory poufy dress. Not only was the dress a mama-tie-me-for-back dress, but it was also a Mary-Amaka dress. In other words, it had a very long belt that had {Read More}
My Boyfriend Used To Date My Friend.
November 27, 2009 by 11 Comments
No, I do not now have, nor have I ever had a boyfriend who has dated my friend. But if I did, I guess that’s how it’ll slip out of my mouth, “My boyfriend used to date my friend.” Perhaps, there are more fanciful ways to put it, but that’s not important right now. Tomorrow, Saturday, November 28th 2009, Mustapha and I will be talking about dating a friend’s ex. Is it okay to do so? I’m not going to {Read More}
Vehicular Crushes
November 24, 2009 by 24 Comments
Anyone that has been reading my blog and/or articles probably knows that I have a certain – let’s call not call it obsession – with Range Rovers, but what no one knows is that the Range Rover is actually my second vehicular crush. My first vehicular crush is the Beetle Bug (Volks Wagen Beetle). I started liking it when I was about five or six years old, thanks to Dad. He gave me a key. I still don’t know what {Read More}
To Hold On Or To Let Go: That Is The Question!
November 21, 2009 by 8 Comments
“Sometimes, the best way to hold on is to let go…” Spoken by my newest co-host, Mustapha. I’m not sure what is easier to do in a relationship: holding on or letting go? If I had to take a wild guess, I’d say it’s easier to hold on than it is to let go, but I don’t have any scientific proof. Scientific proof is needed for everthing these days. Even God needs to scientifically prove that He is God, and {Read More}
18th Of November?? Really???
November 18, 2009 by 18 Comments
The other day, I was talking to Baroka aka K Travula on the phone, and he asked me what I wanted for my birthday. That was when it struck me: my birthday is in two months time! I don’t remember ever being asked what I want for my birthday and not having an answer. This just goes to show one thing: 2009 has moved along wayyyyyyyy too quickly. I’ve barely had time to enjoy being XX. On that note, I {Read More}
Styling & Profiling: Funmie
November 15, 2009 by 30 Comments
I talk about Funmie a lot here. Funmie this. Funmie that. By the way, she’s the one who insists that her name be spelled with an e – Funmie instead of Funmi. She thinks it’s special that way. I guess it is. I’m styling and profiling her because I realize that each time I mention her name, I don’t have any single post to link her name to. For first time readers, they might want to know who the heck {Read More}
Date Me Jeje, Date Me Tender… Yes ooo!!!
November 13, 2009 by 15 Comments
“Is it not a bit problematic that at my age, I have never been on a date? It is days like this one that make me wonder if my fears and preconceived notions are true: are there really no Nigerian or at least African men on E-Harmony dot com? That website has promised to match me on twenty-nine different dimensions of compatibility. That is a whole lot more than what I have been able to do for myself. And what {Read More}
Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid (1)
November 9, 2009 by 20 Comments
This post is probably one of them. You ever notice how people conveniently avoid the woman with the baby on the flight? You can’t blame them really. What are the chances that the baby will not scream them to oblivion? It’s not like they can yell at the baby. Well, they can — but imagine who would be the bad guy after that. Besides, that would probably cause the baby to scream longer and louder. I remember this flight I {Read More}
What Do Women Want?
November 6, 2009 by 20 Comments
I am not due for an update till tomorrow, but tomorrow is when the show on Verastically Speakin will come up, asking and tackling what I will now dramatize and call the ultimate question: What Do Women Want??? That is why I have decided to blog about it today. I want you to have at least twenty-four hours to think about it. I will be co-hosting with Diamond-Hawk & Rosie. Rosie has conveniently changed her name to Lucid Lilith, which {Read More}
It’s Official
November 4, 2009 by 28 Comments
Majid Michel is my favorite [young] African actor. Sorry, Naija folks! The Ghanaian one stole my heart. Is anyone as crazy for Majid as I am? Well, it’s his acting that I am really crazy about. And no, seeing his bare bum in his latest movie, Heart of Men has absolutely nothing to do with my decision. About Heart of Men … have you seen it? Compared to your typical African movies, this one is good. I mean, it has {Read More}
