Recklessly authentic.
Welcome to March! By the end of March, we would have exhausted the first quarter of 2016. Isn't that crazy? So, how was February for me? If I have not said it before, let me say it right now: being a business owner is HARD. Operating Verastic as a side gig is a completely different journey from operating it as a business. I have never known that as much as I know it now. There are times that I am giddy with excitement about the future, and then, there are other times that I am one Read More
I read all about the Gender Equality bill in Nigeria and how it died at the second reading on the second floor, and I was disappointed, but not surprised. I mean, we're talking about Nigeria - our beloved country that still doesn't think a woman's body actually belongs to her. Single or married, every man has the right to tap current when they see you, especially when it's in a public place like the market. It's an unspoken rule. I was going to write about it, and I had so much to say on the Read More
I remember a while back when the trending thing on Twitter was to call people who were last to know things, "Lastma." As you can imagine, I got called Lastma. A lot. Because somehow, I was finding out things after everyone else. Anyway, this Falz's new video isn't as bad as my Lastma days.

When I saw the time, I was ready to close my computer, Read More
After blogging for 10 years, I have decided that it's time to rebrand Verastic. Sure, Verastic has gone through minor changes in the past anyway, but this is the biggest, most dramatic change I have ever made. Verastic will be evolving into a new kind of site. Starting from April 15th 2016, Verastic will become a fashion and beauty blog that will focus on political views in the spiritual realm of gossip, blogging school, food, and DIY. I kid, I kid! Well, I half-kid. I was a writer before Read More
Sweet Potatoes, I come bearing good news. You know that Project #2 I have been hinting at? Someine even asked about it in my last Ask Me Anything video. Well, it's here now. Your Vera now has a shop. Let me tell you about this shop. It was about seven or eight years ago that I first got the idea to start a t-shirt line. I wrote it down on a sticky note and posted it on the wall. Every year, I said I would do it, but several times, December 31st came and met me and I still had not started the Read More
