Couples who are NOT the people I'm talking about (but who look good on my blog)

A year ago, I put up a post about the top 12 reasons why Igbos and Yorubas should not marry. One year later, the post is still getting comments from all kinds of people. Some people get the sarcasm, some people laugh, some other get angry, and some people just give me whatever insult they think is appropriate. Read and enjoy. Original post (and entertaining comments) here. ____________________________________________________________________________________   Whether you are aware of it or not, many inter-tribal relationships {Read More}

Dear Vera, My Fiancee Doesn’t Love Me

Dear Vera

Ideally, love shouldn’t be this difficult and complicated. There should be two people who are in love and marry each other to live happily ever after. But then, sometimes, this is the reality. I’ve given my opinion at the end of this post. When you are done reading, please give the reader your opinion, too. “Dear Vera. I don’t know what exactly I want but I believe your advice will work. Am in a relationship recently turned sour. We had {Read More}

My Big News: Igwe And I Are Expecting :D

Baby

I stared at this blank page forever because I couldn’t figure out how to start it. I didn’t know what to say first, or how to say it. For the past seven years, I have shared my life with you on here. You have been with me from when I was a student, from when I was very single, from when I was dating other guys, from when my relationships failed, from when I met men, from when I met {Read More}

Wife + Husband + Wife’s Lover = One Big Happy Family!

L-R: Paul Butzki (husband), Maria Butzki (wife), and Peter Gruman (lover)

I’m gonna keep this short and sweet. Here’s the story: Maria Butzki, mother of two girls (16 and 12) left her husband, Paul Butzki for her lover, Peter Gruman. But she did not know that she would miss her husband so much, and at the same time, she did not want to leave her lover. Somehow, the two men became friends, and Maria got the bright idea to move them both into the same house. Isn’t that wonderful? So now, {Read More}

That Awkward Moment When You Mistake Sperm For Lotion (And Rub It On Your Face)

Sperm

Or that other awkward moment when you wonder why the heck there’s even sperm in a lotion bottle. Crazier things have happened. So, the story goes like this: nineteen year old student, Zeng Lin received a bottle of lotion from her secret admirer – oh, how sweet! She rubbed half the bottle on her face – must have been a tiny bottle – before she realized it had a strange smell. Yup. You guessed it. It was sperm. Her not-so-secret {Read More}

VIDEO: Igwe Proposed … And This Is How He Did It

Sitting outside church. It was cold!

So I am soooo excited! Igwe and I were over at Olu and Uzo’s house yesterday and he handed us our DVD. Soon as we got home, we popped it in. The entire video itself is about 45 minutes long, but the montage – which is absolutely beautiful – is less than five minutes. If you missed Igwe’s proposal, please read it here, complete with the story and pictures. Meanwhile, before we went to dinner, we took a few pictures {Read More}

Igwe Proposed … And This Is How It Happened

Long before I knew what I was in for.

Lonnnnnnggggg post alert! Extreme picture overload!! Exit now!!! I have to start by really, really, really thanking every one of you for reading my blog. I honestly feel like I have a family here. You have been with me since 2006 when I started blogging, and I have blogged about all kinds of things: love, men, marriage, money, and my period, of course. That said, here’s how Igwe proposed. I mentioned on our anniversary day that we were going to {Read More}

Iyanya Dumps Tonto Dikeh For Tiwa Savage!

Iyanya!!! Bad guys.

Well, technically, that’s not completely true. He has not dumped Tonto – yet. But it’s definitely coming. By now, I’m sure most of you have heard of Iyanya dumping Yvonne Nelson for Tonto Dikeh. It’s really bad when you are dumped – especially when you did not see it coming – but I think the only thing worse than being dumped [by Iyanya] is being dumped by Iyanya … for Tonto. Like, how the heck does that happen?!?! When Iyanya’s {Read More}

Igwe & I Are Plus One Today

Igwe and I

Today is our anniversary. We are now plus one. I wanted us to just spend the day together and do something low key, but Igwe doesn’t understand that kind of language. Instead, he has invited our friends to dinner, so today after church, we will be going to have dinner with some friends at a restaurant. I have no idea how many people will show up, but I’ll be sure to keep you posted via Instagram and on here when {Read More}

I’m Not Comfortable With This Relationship

This is just strange.

This is Mary-Kate Olsen and her boyfriend,  Olivier Sarkozy on an NBA date night. That’s right, her boyfriend. She’s 26. He’s 42. See, it’s not that I am against May-December love, and it’s not that I think the age gap is too much – 16 years – it’s just that at first glance, you’d think he’s her father, no? There are lots of May-December lovers who don’t look so disturbing, for lack of a better word. Like Beyonce and Jay-Z {Read More}
