Who Else Watched The Fight Between Mariah & Toya?

Who Else Watched The Fight Between Mariah & Toya?

Bravo started this new documentary about doctors and doctors's wives about three weeks ago. It comes on right after Real Housewives of Atlanta. I haven't really been into it. The only reason why I know what's going on is because it comes on right after Real Housewives of Atlanta, and for some reason, I'm too lazy to switch the channel. One of the doctors' wives, Quad, has been judged at the crazy one. But I kinda like her. Another one of the doctors' wives, Kari (the only White woman) is also Read More

Ladies, How Often Do You Wash Your Braids?

Ladies, How Often Do You Wash Your Braids?

You know as Black women, there is so much that we can do to our hair. The options are almost limitless.  A lot of people don't know it, but my hair is natural now. I have not had a perm in it for a while now, maybe almost a year? I don't know the date exactly. I went natural because I started wearing weaves often, and I would perm my hair and put a weave in two days later, which was very bad for my hair. I'll tell my hair story some other day. Right now, I'm wondering how often you wash your Read More

I went to Walmart yesterday to buy some yogurt and oranges, and while I was walking back to my car, I spotted two guys who were carrying what looked like a snake. Sure enough, it was a damn snake.

According to the Wikipedia page, this python is one of the sixth largest in the world; the average length of this Read More

I Love Me Some Chimamanda

I'll listen to anything Chimamanda says. She's so smart. Just listening to her makes me feel smarter. Yes, I am a total fan. Can you tell? It's just so refreshing to listen to someone who is not trying to sound intelligent (and failing woefully at it), but someone who is actually intelligent. I don't want to keep talking about her awesomeness because I won't be able to stop. Watch this video of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie at TEDx, titled, "We Should All Be Feminists." Walahi, she and I are Read More

Where Are All Those Nigerian Bloggers?

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
