Rest In Peace, Uncle Andrew Ezimora

Rest In Peace, Uncle Andrew Ezimora

I woke up yesterday morning to a text from my cousin, Ngozi, in London, "Uncle Andy is dead." And so many things ran through my mind. How did he die? When did he die? Was he ill? What happened? What about Iyke (his son)? And how is my dad, his younger brother doing? I don't do New Year Resolutions, but I made a list of things to do in 2014, and the second thing on my list is to build or mend relationships with family. I come from a large extended family, especially on my dad's part. My dad is Read More

It’s My Birthday!!!

It’s My Birthday!!!

This is like the weirdest birthday I have had. Unlike me, I have not even been obsessing over it --- like tweeting incessantly. Nope. I feel weird actually. Like, I'm glad it's my birthday, but apart from being grateful to God, I wonder how else I'm supposed to be feeling? I don't know about you, but I always reflect on my life on my birthday. I think about the things I have done, the things I want to do, the things I thought I would have done by now ... and that's pretty much what's Read More

Do You Have To Invite Your Guest’s Plus 1?

Remember when I was wondering if I should parry or not? Or more like I had decided not to parry and I was looking for validation from you? Well, one of the things I was thinking about was my guest list. 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

Can We Talk About Dencia’s Whitenicious ‘Dark Spot Remover?’

Can We Talk About Dencia’s Whitenicious ‘Dark Spot Remover?’

When it comes to skin complexion, we (Nigerians) have an inferiority complex. Yes, I know that Nigerians are not the only ones who have this inferiority complex, and I know that not every Nigerian has it either. But I have not completed my survey on exactly who is or isn't suffering from inferiority complex based on their complexion, so I'm just generalizing here. Dencia just released a product called, Whitenicious, and according to her, its sold out. I don't expect the people who bought Read More

Were You Offended By Basketmouth’s Joke About Rape?

Were You Offended By Basketmouth’s Joke About Rape?

I wasn't. Feel free to insult me in the comment section, but let me land first. First of all, for those who haven't read the joke, here it is (it was posted on his Facebook page):   If I hadn't heard anything about people being offended by this joke, I would have read it and laughed and forgotten about it. But I received some kind of notification on my phone (maybe a BBM broadcast, don't remember now) about Basketmouth being offensive with his joke. So I went searching for this Read More
