LAGOS LIFE OR HARSH LIFE?

Nigeria 8:35 pm
...At home no power the whole day...you curse under your breath when you remember that you are out of diesel to run your Gen set
You remember the long queue at the filling station and how long it took you to get gas for your car....you wonder why you have to hustle for something that is supposed to abundant in your country ( hustle for basic things like food, water, power etc)
You go to an eatry to cool off and end up paying so much to get a decent meal and what happens?....you are served stale meals!
You don't complain you eat it anyway....to make matters worse the waiter/waitress over charges you sometimes they tell you they don't have change..but it's okay it's just 100 naira..as a matter of fact these people do it as if it were their right..
After all you are a big girl
You fall sick from eating that trash( you should have just gone to a buka at least the food is always fresh) ...the eatry makes money off you , the gas station makes money off you, you spend extra money treating yourself and you come back home to a house with no power and say " it is well"
No it's not....SPEAK UP!

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...

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 he...
