So 2 haunties coming out for presidency we're gisting us that as * Mothers * , they supposedly know the problem of Nigeria. LMAO, #FemaleEmpowerment * , Nye Nye Nye, and yet they can't prove a point without emphasizing on their motherhood. Puhleeze, we don't need your motherhood prowess to show us that you are a leader. Nobody gives any shit about it, Stop with the pity card abeg Which female empowerment will you do or have you done, when your words are embodied in lack of empowerment. You are not ready to take charge of any power, nope Women are not ready. Infact, they don't deserve it. Even Haunty Linda with all her billionaire status retains that mentality of pity party, sob story. Until women start owning up to what they can be or taking the lead without emphasizing on getting pity and consideration because of their gender, they aren't ready to be empowerment shit. I'm so disappointed with my gender. SMH

I like to check out people's pages on Facebook, especially those with making sense comment section (not your Yabaleft online, gossip meal or Igboist) and I usually get carried away because I'd click someone else's page from another comment and so on. I discovered a profile not too long ago, (usually I don't recall their names and those I know that I'll return to, I screenshot their page for next time). Anyways, this brilliant lady posted the different God's of tribes of Nigeria. At the time I checked it, the Igbo today were the latest one she posted. I don't think she has done Hausa, but she did Yoruba. The Yorubas were more accepting of their roots, they are the most enlightened tribe, after all. My Igbo brethrens shamed me on that post. They were screaming "bloody Idolatry", how demonic the post was, how the poster was satanic. I was stunned, because the only thing she put was the names, images and characteristics of each god and goddess. I ha

I follow lots of people on Facebook (more like stalking), you know these highly intellectual humans who are always making scholarly posts that get more likes more than pictures. I don't mean these thrashy 'Like if you love Jesus' posts, I'm talking of personal accounts with over 10k followers. One of them, Mmiliaku, a hardcore feminist made a post about religion, three posts actually. This happened last year, around October or November time. I was scared on her behalf and had accused her (inwardly) of slander and libel against an apostle of God. The post was on 'how misogynist Apostle Paul was in his teachings'. At that time, I had thought of how sacrilegious she was and swore that she had sinned against the holy spirit. Infact, I was praying that God will touch her heart so that she would sin no more. But the truth of the matter is that Paul was/is indeed a male chauvinist. I didn't want to accept the truth then cos I was afraid of thinking that an apo

I started keeping entries less than 2 weeks ago and I've filled 2 diaries going to the third one. I was motivated to start so that I can improve my writing skills. I write everything I think of, every memory I can remember, every thoughts I have, experiences of people that inspires me. The thing about writing is that you never know that you are capable of doing it until you pick a pen and start. I find it difficult to conclude whatever I'm putting down cos more thoughts generate in my mind when I am writing. I have not written fiction, I've tried it once on Wattpad last year and I realized how shitty I was at creating fictional characters, I couldn't even write a good description of things, places or people with flowery words that attract readers. Infact I know that assuming I was reading my story as someone else, I can't get past the first chapter so I halted and deleted my story and progressed to reading more books. I have not started again, I don't even thi

As we are celebrating a new month, I'd like to express my feelings. I am angry, so fucking angry at the condition the society has relegated the female sex. I went to a ministry on Tuesday(not intentionally of course) and the prophet was spewing ministrations. I didn't get one, infact I have never been given any message or vision in church based on holy spirit message. Anyways, 90% of young girls got prophecy of marriage and 80% of the 90% were to a supposed abroad-based men. Even a girl of not up to 12, yeah you read that right. Her guardian was told that she would be married to a man who will come from abroad before she turns 20.  7% of the women were given prophecy for their brothers' progress in terms of travelling out, etc. The married women were not left out. They got messages of new babies(as par baby producing machines), yes even those with four children already were given prophecy of more. Lol... Others were told that their husbands would buy cars, plot of land or

I'm always pondering on many issues. For instance, right now I have been wondering how and why religion is such a control tool on humans especially in Nigeria. Don't lecture me on how blasphemous it is or how things of the spirit if folly to the flesh cos I have heard about it tons of times already. I don't know why people are so scared when religious arguments come up and believe me, a lot don't like getting into it as they don't want the possibility of being open-minded to reality or how it would affect their views. I question a lot of things, especially those that have been ingrained in my mind from a young age and the ones I'm still learning or researching on. I question theism, atheism, philosophy and 'isms' in existence, critic both patriarchy and feminism,  slander our Nigerian lifestyle and Western Lifestyle, doubt human rights, our culture and Western culture, argue on love and relationships, family and friendship, goals and visions... In fact,

I guess this is how I look 90% of the time. Not so long ago , a friend asked me why I'm always frowning and that surprised me for a moment because I never thought that my face looked different and I had never felt myself keeping up a front other than I always do, so I told him that It's my natural face. Infact, I added that I don't smile to amuse him the more. I remember few years ago when my dad asked me why I was so serious and I didn't have answer to his question. I still don't have answer to it but I'm certain that I don't have any particular reason for having a serious look. It was until recently that I realized some occasions in my life where I'm not included in stories those days in secondary school. Then I was quite oblivious to many things, now I look at it, I feel that my colleagues knew that I might not laugh along with them or won't sit down and discuss such frivolities. I have also been asked whether I don't feel left out when my

Forget this face. I probably smile more in pictures than in real life😁, so don't let this looks fool ya. I like calling out people when I think they are going against what they preach so do tell me when you feel I'm going against what I preach. Change whatever expectations you have of me. I won't tick half of them. I learn everyday so my mindset is constantly evolving. I get new beliefs everyday and I absolutely love it. I don't believe in being nice to please anyone. I can be very rude and I don't apologise for it. Lol, It has caused beef with some pals but I'm not planning on changing anytime soon. Life's too short to conform to stereotypes, so do whatever you feel is right and enjoy it while it lasts. Very few things interest me and I make out the most of it and cut off anything that is not adding value to me, It has been relieving doing that.  Holla amigos, It's been a while and have a wonderful day 😎
