The Nigerian Blogger Men I Loved

Now, you know that I have been reminiscing on old posts and bloggers, right? So back in the day, I was the ashewo blogger and the envy of all the female bloggers (whether they admit it or not) because I had three wonderful blog husbands: Boorish Male, Guy Horny, and Naija Bloke.

The badder he was, the more we Read More

Anyway, I joined LA Fitness primarily because they offer Zumba Read More

So I did the only thing I could think of doing: I stopped them asked about the snake. She has a name: Gamella Gamella is a Granite Burmese Python, and I actually did some research. According to the Wikipedia page, this python is one of the sixth largest in the world; the average length of this Read More

Where Are All Those Nigerian Bloggers?

When I started blogging seven years ago, I did not know any blogger - Nigerian or otherwise - and then one day, I got a comment. I visited her blog and linked to other blogs. And more blogs. And more blogs. There were so many Nigerian bloggers, and we were like a little virtual family. There were bloggers like London Buki, Taurean Minx, Bab's House, Azuka, Real Naija Bloke, Afronuts, Guy Horny, Baroque, Overwhelmed Naija Babe, Good Naija Girl, Omohemi Benson, Boorish Male, Temmy Tayo, Diamond Read More
