You May Call It 'The Return Of The Flying Monkey' But I Freaking Love My Job!!!

If there was anything to describe where I worked .....I would call it a blend of scenes from African magic, the Chinese Dragons with a blend of scenes from the movie Men in black

I worked in a place that had mixture of races under its employ at constant logger heads almost every minute and these arguments were about the usual things; why somesome did not do his/her job or how some one was rude to another or about some office gossip

We didn't need any kind of Television program to entertain ourselves while we worked ..everything was at our disposal and for FREE!!! the only problem was that we could not decide what movie or which country we were visiting -as the actors chose what character they would play depending on their mood, all we needed was a bowl of pop corn
It was hilarious because when an argument broke out ...everyone one would immediately take on a character, most of the time it was usually a Chinese kunfo character, a pissed off Nigerian market woman or some cool super hero from an American flick
Years of working in different establishments had taught me how to mange people, I also find it very interesting and overwhemling because immediately a fight or argument is over ..the people involved smile and shake hands moments later
At first it used to bother me until I saw them drink beer and pepper soup after the close of work and I'm like " variety is indeed the spice of life"
Sometimes when I hear that some of our politicians argue and fight in the open but are friends behind closed doors..I begin to wonder if they ever worked in my office...and that in itself has inspired my ambition to become a successful politician someday
I don't care what you think ..But I freaking love my work place!!!! hahaha!

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...
