This is a serious question. Every time Igwe and I start talking about infidelity in relationships, he reminds me that he already knows how I feel. Yes, I have very strong views about infidelity and relationships in general. Very, very strong views. So 16 years ago, Monica Lewinsky did whatever she did with Bill Clinton. Unfortunately for her, Bill Clinton is a man who is much loved by so many people, so in spite of his indiscretion, he seems to have been forgiven by the general public. So Read More
So You Think Your Past Doesn’t Matter?
Next to “men will be men,” the next best hilarious lie I have heard about relationships is that “the past does not matter.” In the words of Joe Biden, that’s a bunch of malarkey.

The Moment I Fell In Love With Real Housewives Of Atlanta Again

Have You Ever Known A Veteran?
Years ago, I used to be really close friends with a veteran. Well, he did not start out being a veteran. I met him in my Health class in college. He was Nigerian - Igbo in fact - and we became quick friends. He had the kind of humor that I understood and appreciated. I introduced him to Funmie and other friends and everyone liked him.
