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 thing in a skirt. smh!


Men are Scum...
We were once thrown out of the cinema because we were caught throwing popcorn at a couple. The poor girl! The idiot she was with was going to dump her soon, I’m pretty sure he was there for a quick one in the dark. Very typical!


Men are Scum....
These men think we are damsels in distress; who told them we were weak and helpless,who told them we couldn’t pay our own bills, party how we wanted and who ever told them we were not
outspoken??          

We do deserve the same rights as men, there are no gender roles as far as we were concerned.
Our motto was “ What a man can do a woman can do much better”.


Men are Scum....
We are currently at a wedding.
One of our founding members is getting married today, another member is currently expecting, and these two are our strongest advocates. So, what part did we miss then, are men still SCUM



Are men still SCUM?
The truth is that not all men are Scum, the same way women say “Men are terrible”is the same way some men complain about their horrid experiences with women.
 A few terrible ones doesn't make all of them entirely bad.
From what we saw today and from how the couple looked at each other; it is a clear indication that true love does exist and that there  are still good people out there, somewhere in the world or ....... 2ft away from you.

Perhaps,  meeting them was some kind of life lesson, perhaps not. Maybe we were in each other’s
lives to learn something, maybe not. You decided.

I have to go now.....I need to get back to enjoying this Jollof rice and think up creative ways to smuggle some out. Tonight, I’m going to loosen up a little and have a little fun. I’m done following these types of groups.

      Thank you so much! I appreciate your constant positive input. The objective is to turn simple day-to-day life experience into a laid back/fun post through storytelling and at the same time pass the underlying message that effects us in these climes. We are glad you enjoyed itđŸ˜†

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...
