My Birthday Wish List For 2015 Is Here!

Because I know that you have been desperately waiting for me to release my birthday wish list for 2015.

Merry Christmas To You And Yours

merry christmas

Sweet Potatoes!! Merry Christmas to you and yours. May your hearts be filled with joy on this precious day. I'm not doing anything today, apart from going to church at 11:00 AM and going to deliver gifts to my family later in the day. Yesterday we went to church for a Christmas Day service, and it was beautiful as usual. However, this is the best Christmas I have had in a very long time. It's not because of what's happening, but because of what isn't happening, and I am so very grateful Read More

Beggars: To Help Them Or Not To Help Them

Beggars: To Help Them Or Not To Help Them

I'm a Nigerian who lived in Nigeria, so I am not new to beggars. Although it's not anyone's image of America, there are beggars here, too.

My Neighbor Tatiana Is Moving Out

My Neighbor Tatiana Is Moving Out

Somebody shout Alleluia! I was on my balcony the other day doing some blog work when her royal highness nuisance, Tatiana came out. You know it's impossible for Tatiana to see you and not start a conversation, so she asked me what I'll be doing for Thanksgiving, and I told her nothing. Then she wanted to know what I will be cooking, and again, I told her nothing. She asked me why and wanted to know what Igwe will eat on Thanksgiving. I told her we weren't going to be home anyway, that we will be Read More

My Entire Thoughts About The Bill Cosby Rape Scandal

Bill Cosby

It's like every other day, a new "victim" appears from somewhere, accusing Bill Cosby of a rape that happened a few decades ago. At first, I thought these allegations were ridiculous. Now, I still think they're ridiculous, but I don't know if I think they're ridiculous because he could not have done them, or ridiculous because how dare he do them? Some people have made up their minds that if there are 13, 14, 15, 16 or whatever number of women accusing you of rape, then it must be true. Others Read More
