Olori of Ife, Zaynab Wuraola has been blamed for the demise of her marriage because she was previously married three times, but here are 10 reasons why she should not be blamed for it.

I have to preface this post by first saying that I am not a fan of the [former] Olori of Ife. And this is all because of that time she came to America to talk nonsense about gender equality. Yes, I'm still mad about that. According to her, gender equality is the number one cause of divorce in Nigeria.

  This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Niagara Spray Starch. All opinions are 100% mine. Oh, childhood, where did you go?  I just know that I cannot be the only one who was a child dreaming about adulthood. I had plans for all the things I was going to do when I became an adult. Like I was finally going to eat all the candy bars I wanted, and I was finally going to drink energy drinks, instead of just juice. Don't ask me why my mom was very specific about juice. Read More
