Women Are Sexiest In Their 30s???

According to a research done somewhere by some people, women are sexiest in their thirties.  In other words, if you are not yet in your thirties, be happy that you have something to look forward to. If you are already in your thirties, make hay while the sun still shines because your days are apparently numbered. And if you are past your thirties, then this is the time to live in your past glory.  If you are reading this on the eve of your 40th birthday, then I am so, so sorry. There is only Read More

The 16th Annual Nigerian Reunion: The Full Gist

Long post alert. This is a detailed account of my experience at the 16th annual Nigerian Reunion. If you want to read the summary of my entire weekend (and the events of the Nigerian Union), you should read my weekend recount post. Let me just start by saying that I was (still am) really disappointed at all the negative commentaries about the Nigerian Reunion – mostly from people who were NOT at the reunion – it reminded me of what Mr. Jackson (one of the panelists) said about Nigerians not Read More

My Weekend Recount: The 16th Annual Nigerian Reunion

This weekend was hella busy! It was the 16th annual Nigerian Reunion, and it was held here in Baltimore, Maryland at the Hunt Valley Inn (formerly Hunt Valley Marriott, as of two weeks ago).

Saturday: I woke up early so I could be at the Nigerian Reunion townhall meeting (I was a part of the panel), and which was Read More

My Lanre Is Married — To His Kemi

Two years ago, I decided to do a Valentine-inspired something called, Show Me Your Love where couples sent me their stories and pictures for me to feature on my blog. It was fun doing the something, but it was time consuming, and when May came around, I did it again, but this time to celebrate Mother's Day.  So when the following year came around (2011), I skipped it (same for this year). You can view the 2010 edition here, but it's practically useless because I lost the images when I moved from Read More

My Weekend Recount: More Soul Food!

This Friday, my sole mission was to finally watch John Cater. I rented it from RedBox and settled in to watch it. Boooorrrrrrriiiiiiiinnnnnnnnngggggggg. I kept waiting for it to get interesting. But before I started watching it, Igwe and I went out to eat dinner. He kept saying he wanted a big meal.  Is it something I can cook? No, it'll take too long. Do you want Chinese? No. Italian? No. Jamaican? No. Soul food? No. Seafood? No. We ended up with soul food. Good thing he said no at first. We Read More
