Dear Nigerians, How Not To Respond To Congratulations

Dear Nigerians, How Not To Respond To Congratulations

I love you, my Nigerians, I really do, but you people can like to do some kind of way. I know this does not apply to everyone, but if you are guilty, then please, read and heed. We're talking about your response when people congratulate you for something. Who came up with the idea of saying, "Thank you! Your own too will come!" when someone congratulates you? That is a terrible response to give. This is how NOT to respond to congratulations. First of all, when you tell the person who is Read More

When Funmie Dated My Boyfriends With Me

Vera Ezimora and Funmie i- Verastic

People sent me pictures of them and their significant other, and it was quite lovely. Well, Read More

For me, it was because 2017 had been quite a difficult year, but as of October 2017, I did not know that it was only going to get worse. And if someone had told me that the events that occurred last year would happen to me AND that I would emerge from the year stronger than when I entered it, I would have laughed hysterically because (1) things like that don't happen to me, and (2) there is no way something that Read More
