The idea of making this list came to me out of the blues. It's safe to say up till this point, I've lived a very boring life and probably won't have a lot of stories to tell when I'm old and grey. What kind of storyteller would that make me even? *face palm* Although, this … Continue reading 29 Things Before 29 – My Bucket List
In my second year of Uni, I met this cute, portable sized boy. We happened to be in the same faculty and would often run into each other. We started to hang and a little sparky-sparky was born between us. However, for some technical reasons, we stayed platonic. Few years down the line, I ran … Continue reading I kissed a married man
"You have memories with X and Y to look back on today." If you use facebook, then you are familiar with this daily notification. First of all, whoever came up with this idea to remind us of our embarrassing past should be left in the middle of the north pole with nothing but a g-string … Continue reading PS: I Still Love You

Goodbyes are not always the end but first, let's take a walk back in time The Genesis I never intended to start a blog. Like, never. … Continue reading And this is Goodbye

From the moment we had our first cry to the moment we'd take our last breath, everything that transpires in between that dash is sort of a time-filler. While we only get to do this life once (except you decide to reincarnate as a tree) and no one knows just how much time has been … Continue reading Before I Die…
Like the average lagosian, I will rant and complain, moan and groan, come up with blames and then shift them, but whether we like it or yes, the almighty Lagos Traffic has come to stay. In short, traffic should be given Nigerian citizenship already. Anyways, I got tired of complaining and started to think of … Continue reading The Lagos Trafficalypse: My Survival Tips
I'm yet to go pick up my cat just because my mum keeps threatening she'd kill it when I'm not at home. To her, Cat = Witchcraft 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ I digress. So, one evening I was coming from the atm with cool #500 naira notes sizzling in my purse when this woman stopped me. I knew … Continue reading Nollywood and You: The Power of a Narrative
