My Birthday In Pictures – 2014

As you know, I ended up not having a birthday party as I was originally planning to do. For the actual birthday, I didn't want to do much of anything. I told Igwe that we should just go to The Cheesecake Factory and call it a night. We both love The Cheesecake Factory, and we go there so much that we don't even look at the menu before ordering. Before dinner, I first stopped at Toby's house. Toby is my little cousin and we share the same birthday. He was supposed to be born in April, but he Read More

Rest In Peace, Uncle Andrew Ezimora

I had already made a list of people I was going to invite, and the list was longer than I wanted it to be, but I wasn't going to cut anyone off. However, for some of the people on my list, I was not planning on inviting their significant other - not because I did not know them, but because I do Read More

Does Your Man Know He’s Lucky?

Really? This is one line men still use, and I still don't understand why. Do men say this because they think it works? Or do men say this because it actually works? Dear men, please respond. I met a Nigerian guy at my job. Let's call him Femi. I'm really hoping that Femi isn't his real name because I cannot remember now what he said his name is, but I know it was a common Yoruba name like Femi. Anyway, he had come to the office like 3 times, and every single time he came, he said not more Read More
