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!!!

How to make Lemon and Honey Tea

Making tea using plants and herbs has always been a thing for me because I know it contains a healthy dose of nutrients our body needs in its purest form. This is TRULY SATISFYING. You can use and citrus fruit of your choice and you can make a variety of homemade drinks from it. Have you tried it before? Please leave me a line or two in the comments

Tell the truth - does your watch really work?

Which are you? The one who has a variety of useless watches that are now makeshift bracelets or the one who would dutifully take them for repairs when the battery is flat. If you ask where I belong, I'd say with those who have turned their wristwatches into some sort of 'Wrist ornament'. I don't even own a clock, the time doesn't even read correctly in my car!  The only accurate time would be the one found on my phone - that's it!  Is there something wrong with us? Why is it that almost everyone tells time using their phones, is technology the problem? I remember those good old days... way before mobile phones and way before the computers, when our wristwatches/clocks were the only alternatives, if you didn't have one, you were screwed!  I had a wall clock, I panicked if something ever happened to it... it was like living in another reality; where you were stuck in your world and the rest of humanity were in another, you felt completely cut off m...

And So We All Agreed That All Men Are Scum!

Men are Scum.... My friends and I formed a group on WhatsApp and Twitter and called it “ The Phoenix rises”. It was for women who have had bitter experiences with these creatures called MEN. It was for Women, who believed in the same things and had the same ideals. We believed that MEN were complicated beings and just existed to hurt women. so, ideally, we used and dumped them without blinking an eye lid. Men are Scum.... We were constantly on social media propagating our cause and would lash out at men for no reason at all, you could easily spot us in the comment section - those scumbags deserved it! Yeah, call us whatever you want, we just believed that good men didn't exist anymore. Men are Scum... The girls and I would meet up from time to time at a friends place for a few bottles of delicious wine to discuss the most important issue at hand at the time “Men" I mean, a man tells you he loves you and then a few seconds later runs off with the next t...
