Why Do People Think Igbo Girls Are Gold Diggers?

This is one of those things we grew up being told, but no one has ever given a valid reason why they think or believe that Igbo girls are gold diggers. I'm not a fan of just lumping everyone into a group, but for the purpose of this post, I will do just that. As an Igbo girl, I'm all kinds of curious. I've never asked any boyfriend of mine for money. I don't particularly think it's the worst thing a girl can do, but I just haven't done it. I have never felt the need to because (1) I could Read More

Who Started The Trend Of Nigerian Celebrities Releasing ‘Hot New Photos?’

I notice that recently, there has been a lot of hot new photos from our Nigerian celebrities. I make it a point to say 'Nigerian' because I know that not all my readers are Nigerian, so they may not recognize some of the names in this post. These hot new photos are usually of them in different clothes and poses, for no apparent reason. Well, they are called 'promo' photos, but I and the rest of the word just don't know what they're supposed to be promoting. I am not a(n) pop Read More

Rest In Peace, Lee Thompson Young

I am not even sure how to start this post. Actor, Lee Thompson Young is dead. His body was discovered today. He was only 29, and he took his own life. He is most popular for being in Disney's The Famous Jett Jackson. I know him more from Smallville, where he played the part of Cyborg. It's always shocking when someone dies, even if you knew the person would die. It's more shocking when it's a young person --- and when the person took his own life. From human and basic eyes, you think, what Read More

In Desperate Search Of A Natural Hair Stylist In Baltimore

Before I went natural, my hair style was mostly permed all the time. Then I started braiding in between. Then I started using weaves in between. Then my edges went to Edge Heaven. Then I chopped most of my hair off. Then I stopped perming it. The edges are not as bad as they were, but they're not as good as they were either. Now I'm mostly in braids. Sometimes I have a weave on, but not very often. The last time I had a weave on was last year. When it comes to hair, I'm all about low Read More

The White Queen: Who’s Watching?

Last week Saturday, premium cable network, Starz premiered a new mini series, The White Queen. On the day of the premiere, I watched that first episode three times --- consecutively. Yes, I liked it that much. The show is set in the medieval times - a couple years before I was born. And like just about everything on premium cable TV, there is a lot of nudity. A. Lot. Of. Nudity. In the first episode alone, I think I saw Elizabeth and King Edward have sex three or four times. King Edward Read More
