Vera Goes To Tampa, Florida

My cousin, Arinze (AKA ) is getting married tomorrow in Tampa, Florida, so off I go. It's not my first time in Florida, but it's my first time in Tampa. It literally took me like ten hours to pack yesterday, and I'm only going for two nights. It's not that I'm packing so much really, but that I was working on so little stamina. I was sleep deprived and exhausted. In fact, when I went to the nail salon to get my nails done, I was sleeping while the lady was working. I apologized to her, but I had Read More

Having An Event? Hire Me!!

One of the things I love about living in Maryland is the different seasons. It's fun to change your wardrobe from Fall to Winter, to Spring, and to Summer. My favorite season is Fall. The weather is perfect, the leaves are shades of orange and red, and my skin is grateful. Winter is too cold. Summer is too hot. Spring is a sell out. By the way, if I had to pick between Winter and Summer, I'll definitely pick Winter. I HATE being hot. I can do all kinds of layers during the winter to keep me Read More

Tell Me, Do I Still Blog From The Heart?

When I put up the post asking where all the first-generation Nigerian bloggers went to, I think I got more information than I bargained for. And I loved it. A lot of people said that bloggers don't blog from the heart anymore. That's really sad. When I started writing nine years ago on Nigerian websites like Nigerian Village Square and Nigerians In America, I really did not have a plan. I was just glad that I could share my thoughts - no matter how outlandish - with other people. And the Read More

So This Guy Asked If I’m A Lesbian

This happened on Wednesday night, and when it happened, I was thinking to myself, how will my readers believe this one? It was the same day I put up a post saying I wanted to be hit on a lesbian. Let me tell you my story. I went to the gym, and then, I stopped at Royal Farms on my way back to get some gas. I noticed a green Camry in the pump behind mine, and I noticed it because it looked just like Funmie's car, but I quickly dismissed the thought because I knew Funmie was at work at that Read More

My Weekend Recount: Uju’s Birthday With 6.5 Girls

Apparently, I tell everyone who cares to listen that my friend, Uju, is a doctor. And I cannot help it. I am so, so proud of her. She is a fighter. Anyway, Uju's birthday was this past Thursday, and we asked her several times what she wanted to do and she said nothing. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and tell the girls that we should all show up at Uju's house on Saturday, unannounced. Well, I told her that I'll be coming, but I didn't tell her about the remaining 4.5 girls. It Read More
