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

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.

Well, I told her that I'll be coming, but I didn't tell her about the remaining 4.5 girls. It Read More

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. You know what's so cool about it? I still keep in touch with ALL of them. Boorish Male: He was the certified bad boy of Blogville. Most of his posts were about women, sex, relationships. The badder he was, the more we Read More

iCook: Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Yesterday, my mind wandered off to cookies. Specifically, snicker doodles from The Great Cookie. Those cookies are ah-may-zeen. So as I drove home, my mind was made up to go get some snicker doodle cookies, but only for $2 because I knew I would eat everything, no matter how much I bought. But then, I thought of oatmeal cookies. And I remembered that I was just studying the recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies. Plus, I already had most of the Read More
