Lessons I Learned In 2012

I cannot believe that it's been a year since I lost my anonymity. This time last year, I was putting finishing touches on my January 1st post that revealed my face, pictures that I was not crazy about because I hated my hair. How time has gone by. It's been a very, very fast year, and naturally,  I have learned a lot of crazy things. Below are just a few in random order: 1.  Making plans is a lot easier than executing them, but executing them is very possible. 2.  A person will only treat Read More

Givenchy, My Givenchy

You know how much I love perfumes, right? A while ago, I owned over 30 bottles of perfumes to my name. I decided then that I would not purchase one single perfume until I am done with every bottle. I technically got done with every bottle. There are two left now, and that's just because I don't really like them much, so I have only used them because I did not have a choice. Fast forward to before Christmas. I went to Macy's with the intention of buying a brand new fragrance. After smelling Read More

Jim Iyke & Nadia Buari Are Dating???

Since when???? I know I'm usually a major last carrier when it comes to issues about Nollywood, but err, when did these two start dating? And why did no one tell, not that it would have mattered?  It's not that "Jim Iyke" and "Nadia Buari" are dating that seems so outlandish, but rather the fact that it was rumored that these two were dating other people. Like err, wasn't Jim Iyke said to be engaged to one Jamaican babe based in America with a big yansh? And wasn't Nadia dating some Read More

But Why Are Nigerian Men Like This?

Two days ago - December 26th - I was looking forward to going to the mall and doing a little shopping, but the snow decided otherwise. And driving under the snow for me is strictly on a need-to basis, so since I did not need to go to the mall, I sat my butt at home. But first, I made a five-minute trip to the African store to buy bread. I love that crown top bread that has eight pull-apart rolls. It's like a big sized puff puff. It's so stretchy. I'm probably just consuming yeast and flour, but Read More

Sooo … I Saw Django (the ‘D’ is silent)

I did not realize until we saw the movie that the name is actually Django Unchained. Everyone (or most people) just call it Django. First of all, how was your Christmas? On Christmas Day, Igwe and I did not do much. It was a lazy day, felt like Saturday. There was no work, stores were closed, eyes were drowsy. You get the point. He managed to cook some potatoes for himself that morning, and he has not let me hear the end of it. All of a sudden, he thinks he's something special. I won't mention Read More
