Recklessly authentic.
I know Toni Braxton sang the Unbreak My Heart song, but right now, she needs to unbreak the American economy. $50, 000, 000 in debt?!?!?!?!?! That's 7, 612, 500, 000. 00 in naira! If you're having half a hard time like I was deciphering the figure, that's over seven (7) billion naira ... in debt! So this is where the American so-called debt went to, huh?Toni Braxton is worth about $10 million. And she's up to $50 million in debt to 422 creditors (that's right, 422!). What has fine Ms. Read More
It used to be that whenever I was ready to break-up with someone, I would listen to a particular song over and over and over. Of course, I now know that the question on your mind is, "Dang it, Vera!

I will not boast of having heard it all. After all, it was just the other day that I learned of salad tossing, but that's a totally different story.

How much of my past should I really disclose [to my partner]? Full disclosure between us would be nice, but is it necessary? When people pry into other people's past, there's hardly a time they're prying for the good stuff ... like the time the person helped old Mrs. Kanu to cross the street. Or the time the person won the award for Best Chemistry Student. Or the time the person volunteered at the homeless shelter. Or how the person became a working class citizen at the Read More
No, I do not now have, nor have I ever had a boyfriend who has dated my friend. But if I did, I guess that's how it'll slip out of my mouth, "My boyfriend used to date my friend." Perhaps, there are more fanciful ways to put it, but that's not important right now.Tomorrow, Saturday, November 28th 2009, Mustapha and I will be talking about dating a friend's ex. Is it okay to do so? I'm not going to speak for everyone, but I know that before I took the time to sit down and think critically Read More
