The Aso-Ebi Syndrome

I have asked this question for a very long time...." why must I wear Aso-ebi to every wedding I attend?"
Ask my friends and they would tell you that I'm never pressured to buy one
Anyway...you must have heard of the president's daughters wedding and how some women in orange Gele scrambled for gifts at the event....and let me tell you, this happens at almost every wedding I attend...women fighting for plastic and any other gift handed out at the event...but in this case the gifts were really nice. Apart from an entitlement to gifts, the Asoebi gives u a special seat

(all the while I didn't get to wear one I still got gifts and a special seat...sighs...)
There are girls who would do anyhting to purchase these so- called aso-ebi every single week!...and the price of the materials range from 2,500 Naira to 100 thousand Naira
So every week some girls end up with high blood pressure trying to figure where to get money to buy these materials..that's not all oh! it has to go with a matching shoe, bag and jewelry ..they can't be caught wearing the same thing twice!
The funny thing is people get to wear these Aso- Ebi just once! Hian! Me? Wear it once? I'd rock mine over and over biko
I don't stress it..I would just ask for the color for the day..flip through my ward robe for shoes, clothes and a bag that matches...Haba! na by force?
Don't get me wrong... its not bad to support family or friends once in a while..but it's not mandatory I buy Aso- ebi and go broke biko
And don't worry I don't intend to force my brides-maid to wear a certain outfit..i'd just send out a 'color for the day' for that special occasion

Happy weekend!!!

What is your body count?

That was the question I was asked today...The evening was going quite well for me until it went from "This has gotta be the best night ever" to "Oh no he didn't!". My facial expression changed in that instant from a smile to outrage: it became glaring that this question was off-limits. I moved around uneasily in my seat; I began thinking about how best to address the situation without coming off as the 'Crazy b***h!' Peter was a good friend, and oftentimes we would discuss random topics of interest and argue endlessly- they were resolved amicably each time but this one wasn't one of those. I honestly don't know how we went from discussing random things to, "So, do you mind sharing how many people you have had sexual encounters with?" I was in shock for a few seconds, If I had been drinking at the time I would have choked on it and spat it out in shock! Why was this piece of information important, why would anyone want to know the numb

Let’s talk about grown-up stuff: Let’s talk S.E.X

It was 9: 45 pm and I was getting really bored watching the news, so I figured it was time to go to bed as I had an early start the next day, I got into bed and decided to browse the internet for a bit. Social media is such an interesting place; I mean, you think you will be there for 10 mins and boom! It’s 2 am! That was exactly what happened to me. I was just about to force myself to sleep, then the phone rang, it was my friend Bunmi “ Hello, Zee...are you awake?” she asked “ Yes, I am” I responded as I rolled my eyeballs; who did she think was speaking to, a robot? “I’m glad you are awake” she continued “ I am depressed”. That got me. I was now worried. It was past 2 am and I figured it must be something urgent. "Are you alright, is everything okay?” I asked hurriedly. “ Yes, well No” she continued “ It's just that I am getting really frustrated in this relationship” she added. She went back and forth about how she loved her man and how wonderful he was but she d

Hello, My Name is Doctor, Chief, Evangelist, Prince, Prophet John Doe

I got a WhatsApp message today......and it was not the usual. The recipient who was somewhat a client thought it was appropriate that everyone in the group chat knew he was not ordinary and so he made sure it sank in! “My name Doctor, Umezulora 1, Evangelist, Apostle......” This was how he would end every message. It may look like a joke to some of you but unfortunately it was something we all had to put up with. I had met this client a few days back and he seemed like an intelligent/warm individual but, what I could not understand was why he had to introduce himself using all his titles. It was funny at first, but I became worried afterwards. I didn’t know whether to laugh, cry or pull my hair out in frustration. I looked around the room to see if anyone rolled their eyes every time he did that but it seemed the rest of the team were fine with it......so I thought. The meeting ended in high notes, I gave a quick excuse as to why I had to leave early so I didn’t have to hear h
