Life with Las B...

Now this is the weird thing I never realised till now, I don't really conjure scenes when I read. Like when I saw the Maze runner movie, Harry Potter, Shadowhunters, Twilight for the first time, I just went in for the story. The setting being in line with the books is the least part of what I consider.   I was hyper focused on the words and storyline. The imagination part of indulging in books isn't for me. I will always choose the authors writing style first and foremost before the plot. That's why I really didn't enjoy that "Broken, a halal love story." I didn't like the authors writing style. It wasn't flowing for me (or maybe I'm excessively nickpicky).  The lead character is great, but the author's writing style is too descriptive to the point of ridiculousness, I think she was trying too hard so reading that didn't quite feel natural for me. While reading, I always check new words that I don't understand from the context. I need t

This is a clip from the real murder trial in 1993 . Their father was so horrible that the only time he was nice to them was when he was raping them. So Lyle, the elder brother (the one in this video) molested his own brother too as a child. Cos he thought that was the way you show love to your family. In the testimony of the younger one, he mentioned being penetrated with an object. And the description he explained makes me think it was a dildo. So, at the time of the trial, he didn't even know the name. And why will they be lying or planning to kill the parents for money? They are quite literally the Heirs. I read somewhere that their monthly allowance as of them was around $6000. That's huge even in 2024. The older one was already in Princeton University, an Ivy League.  And their mother was aware. That woman knew all the while that the younger one was abused from 6 years to 18 years. And she stood by. A cousin even said this Lyle demonstrated to her what the father used to d

I don't know what Gyeongsang creature is still doing at no 1 on Netflix when this Nobody wants this is there. I watched the former yesterday and my goodness, SMH The chutzpah from season 1 is noticeably missing in this season 2. Maybe because in season 1, they were actually fighting for something - independence. They had something to lose so it was really really easy to root for the characters. How do I describe this season 2 without being too scathing? The side characters are neither interesting nor memorable. The killer villain is annoying (want to wipe that stupid smirk off his face with oraimo cord). The plot is not grappling. The motive for the continued experiment is not intriguing. None of the scenes leave you glued and anticipating the next episode. This season 2 is just bland, bleak and banal. The only good thing is the cameo from the OG lead in episodes 4 and 5. Should not have even watched this. Annoyed the shit outta me

This is great. This was so good. I watched all the episodes in 1 sitting. It's that good. It's this level of romcom Hollywood was doing before and then they fell off. This was what was absent that pushed us to kdramaland exclusively. I went in expecting nothing. I mean I'd seen my friends post it on their status but I didn't even Google the plot or spoilers. I just went in expecting the bare minimum from Hollywood. But colour me surprised  The dialogue is brilliantly done, there are awkward bits but it fits with the characters. It just flows naturally. The chemistry was chemistry-ing. The actors were deep into the role. Like they actually acted as though they wanted to be in the series - not a cash grab venture. This was phenomenal. Amazing. I'm not even hyping it, this is perfecto. It has all the recipes for a real funny movie. Quirky friend. Sister that gives bad advice. Overbearing ex. Unserious brother-in-law. Parents with marital issues. Mother that's not o

I watched "Into the fire: The lost daughter" and all I can say is "mothers' instincts are crazy." That's so surreal. It made me start thinking of spirits' communication and all. I also watched this other documentary on Netflix where this woman allowed an inmate to escape from jail. The story was so ludicrous to me. She was a correctional officer and he was in jail for multiple felonies including domestic violence, and attempted violence. He'd be serving for 75 years. See his mouth like I'm not like that.  And even before his previous sentence, he has always been in and out of jail so it's not even a case of Menedenz brothers that their own crime is justified. And the woman, Vicky White fell for him in prison. They were having phone sex between 2020-2022 when they escaped. Like transcripts from the burner phone she used to call showed over 1000 calls between those years. So that means talking multiple times a day for all those years. In fact,

All these essay because a woman said she is childfree. Why does this thing trigger men so much? Like how do you with your family and 4 kids interested in someone that doesn't have that. I have a hunch that they wanted to have schadenfreude that they're enjoying this marriage and kids and women are miserable. But those women are not so it's a jarring reality. "You're going to die alone." Is that a drag? Even people with 6 family members die alone in most cases. Hell, the only time you'd even die with a family member by your side is if you're hospitalized.  It always agitates men that they see women in their 30s, very moisturised, gorgeous, taking care of their body. They're not in some dingy old apartment, with drab interiors and miserable with kids. Nah, they're travelling, having fine dining, dating as they will, excelling in their careers, just living without societal expectations. This always makes me chortle, I won't lie.

This perfume is ridiculously good for its price. I got it for 10k and it's a dupe of Kayali Pistachio. I sprayed 2 by 11:30 am. And 10 hours later, I can still smell it on my elbow. And not faintly at that. It's such a feel good scent. I don't know how to explain fragrance notes but I'll tell you how I feel about the scent. It's a cookies and creamery "Gotta Have it Cup" coldstone ice-cream after a long trek. It's a hug from your parents when you're back from school holidays It's curled up while it's raining and watching your favourite 6 season series. It's being warm from being covered in a duvet in cold weather. It's cuddling and intimate moments with your partner—safe, warm, and unforgettable  It's listening to your favourite playlist at midnight - quiet, with peace in your thoughts  It's a sunday afternoon sleep after a long service It's a girl's night with your best girls, reconnecting and sharing gossip. It

  My issue with this"the resident" series is the dialogue. The convos are really really juvenile. Maybe I'm nitpicky cos I was learning screenwriting before but the dialogues are subpar. There are always words, all the time. There are just certain things that we (the audience) should be able to glean from the actors' gestures, or leave it implied for us to get the context.  But they're literally filling every single scene with words. There is a saying we have in copywriting too - "Show not tell" and copywriting is mainly words oo. Not to talk about video production. "SHOW, NOT TELL." But they're telling us every single thing. Like see this scene, especially the one about fiancee. Not once have they shown us the disagreement. Not once. It's also doesn't help that the dialogues are weak, doesn't have the punch I suppose they're gunning for. Which doesn't now make me anticipate or day "one more episode" when it

Lmao, I was also a power ranger girlie back then. How did I even get into it? So, I was on junior waec break and I'd gone to the mini market close to my house to look for a kdrama. They didn't have the particular ones I wanted. So I chose the India movie collections they had. Then for some reason, I believe Power Rangers Time Force was in one of those pirated collection. I can't remember. I do remember that I revised to give it a chance after I'd exhausted seeing other movies. Before I knew it, I was back to get others - SPD, Mystique Force, Jungle Fury, RPM, Operation Overdrive. Most of the ones I got were not complete. Jungle Fury and SPD have my favourite theme songs. Mystique force has the best power-ups in my opinion. However, SPD remains the best overall out of all of them. And it's not even a close competition. 

These men have been in jail for 30 years, just because they killed their parents. Why I used "just" you may ask? It's obviously sexual abuse. Their father had been abusing them for years. He did not only abuse his kids, but even their cousins that came to stay with them. He started abusing the older one when he was 6 years old.  Hell, the Lyle, the elder brother even started losing his hair at 14 years old cos of stress. Like hair falling in large chunks And you know what the D.A that prosecuted them said, "that men cannot be raped because they didn't have the equipment." And during the trial, all the women in the jury called it a manslaughter while the men said it was murder. I'm telling you, I wouldn't be surprised if the men in those jury were abusers themselves. 30 years later, they're still on the prosecution without chances of parole. To add salt to injury, this new adaptation series now portrayed both brothers in homoeroticism, making it a

I'll never get men shaming women porn stars. As if they're not the demographic paying for porn. Abi anyone think it's straight women paying for these sites? First off, more men watch porn than women. In this statista study in France, 23% of French women watch porn. That's in contrast to 78% of French men admitting to watching porn.  Another article I read said it's 36% of visitors on Porn hub are women. And even in that lesser frequency, there are straight women and lesbians. Lesbians ain't watching no damn heterosexual porn, but straight women watch lesbian and gay porn.   Hell, according to Porn Hub statistics, women search for lesbian porn more than heterosexual porn. In 2019, women are 106% more likely to search for lesbian porn. And women were 168% likely to search for gay BDSM. It's just what it is. And that's cos straight porn is usually hardcore which caters to the male gaze while lesbian porn focuses on the woman's pleasure. Same statistic

I watched Parasites at the peak of my learning screenwriting in 2020. So, it was almost like a diamond in the rocks for someone learning the nuances of powerful storytelling. I can't even begin to explain how that movie changed my perception of life, class disparity, wealth creation, etc. Most especially, with idealistic and lofty goals, and now reality really is. It's a masterpiece in storytelling. Emphasis on "storytelling." It's no wonder it won 4 Oscar awards.  I even started watching it cos it won Oscars for the best Picture , Director, Screenplay, and International Feature Films. So I figured to see this Korean Comedy thriller movie that got all these Oscars. And by Jove, it was more than deserved.  I'll always recommend anyone to watch it. It's just a jarring movie. Hell, if you follow the scenes attentively, you'd feel like you were poured cold water in that last scene cut. And when you sit back to analyze the metaphors, sceneries and even con

A few months ago, a woman said that she removed her son from his nursery school cos he was learning misogyny there. And men started frothing again on "wokeness". But kids learn from what they see. Here is an instance - Michaela grew up in a Sierra Leone orphanage. She was going back from school to the orphanage with her pregnant teacher. Now because there was a fight ongoing between clans, the rebel group with a small boy among them stopped the teacher and asked what's the gender in her womb. Then they proceeded to cut the pregnant woman open to see the baby in her womb. And the other small boy in the rebel family seeing the rebels cut the teacher, decided to copy the men too. He grabbed a matchet and stabbed the girl. As per, stabbing the one his size now. Link to full video - https://x.com/QueenRMade1/status/1834684514461007981?t=gnCXIcNfhRSDJHpAHTgSyg&s=19

  I really don't get the Taylor Swift hate. It's just so forced. My introduction to her was in my jss3 with Love Story and You belong to me. And when I gained admission to UNN, and my roommate was playing Bart Baker's parody on Taylor Swift. So naturally, I loved the songs they were inspired by and listened to them a lot. I eventually watched her documentary as well. At this stage of my life, I'm not her demographic of yearning for love or bemoaning a lost relationship and stuffs like that. I've overgrown that stage. But I'll never say she is overrated. If anything, I still play those old songs. There is no way you'd become a dollars billionaire from music alone if your music doesn't speak to a large audience. Though, I'm not a fan, I like Taylor Swift. She is genuinely a cool celebrity, cheers others in public and doesn't cause trouble. It's just sexism that's causing this whole discourse. Smh

  Re this post  Again, when we talk about equal pay, we should never forget that capitalism is what propels it, especially in male dominated sports. There is no way the women in the left picture should be paid the same as the likes of LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, etc. The audience that bought merch, and tickets just weren't there. But this new generation of women are now pulling crowds as seen in the right picture. There are fanboys/fangirls defending and analysing the games of Catilyn Clark, Angel Reese and others. And I don't know the factor that propelled that audience - but that's what we should be gunning for in women's in male dominated sports (eg football). More of that audience to support them, buy the tickets and get the merch. That's the only way they can command higher pay.

  I got that Kaly perfume dupe whose original Kayali price is like 20x more. I sprayed this dupe perfume since 8am. I can still smell it faintly on my skin now. What you're paying for in designer and celebrity perfumes is name, marketing budget, and the executives + workers' salary. See how Rihanna is the new face of J'adore. You think she'll take anything less than $10 million dollars for that endorsement. And how will Dior recoup that money + make profits if not by hiking prices of the available products. Abi FBI discovered the other day that the Dior handbag they're selling for $2850 dollars actually cost $53 to produce. It's that status symbol that they're selling. Not that the quality is all that. Of course, some quality is still really far high up there. Niche houses like Frederick Malle and Nishane scents smell strong for days. But I'm just talking about the majority of the time. I'll still buy Frederick Portrait of a lady and Nishane Silent w

  I pray never to embarrass my ancestors like this. Femicide is a subset of homicide. Homicide is basically killing another person. Femicide is killing a woman because she is a woman and is the highest direct consequence of misogyny. That's what the likes of Ted Bundy did, as was that Kenyan man. Androcide is the killing of men/boys based on his gender. It's what Jeffery Dahmer did to his victims.  Infanticide is killing of children on the basis of them being kids. Like the killing of twins. Also with the China case of one child's family. But china also leans more towards femicide in the infanticide cos they mostly terminated the female children. So still femicide etched in the infanticide. Femicide is more commonly known because obviously the world we live in. Femicide is the highest outcome of misogyny, but you don't hear about androcide cos misandrists don't go crazy like men do with misogyny. There is a whole list of words for all types of killings and they all

  This man told his wife he didn't want kids. Yet, he was doting on his girlfriend's kid from a different man. He strangled his 8 month pregnant wife and dumped her in the sea. Before the murder, he didn't agree to the party his heavily pregnant wife is supposed to host to go to a holiday party with this new girlfriend. This is an annual party their family used to organise yearly. He told this mistress he was single initially. Eventually, he told her his wife is dead. His very 8 month pregnant alive wife. And the day he said he lost his wife, that was the same day he bought the boat he eventually disposed his wife and unborn son with. Note, he'd been married to his wife for 5 years at this point and again, everyone thought he was a wonderful man - the wife included. The girlfriend was eventually the one that even exposed his other life to the public. Cos prior to her calling the police, he was perceived as a responsible man. So no, these conversations of men absconding

  NFL Great quarterback, successful Career, beautiful wife of over a decade, 2 healthy kids. And yet he lost his life cos he was fooling around with his mistress. This mistress was 16 years his junior. What the police concluded after investigation was that he wanted to break up with the girl (cos he even had additional girlfriends by the side), so the girl shot him 4 times and shot herself too.  I tried to feel sorry for him but I just couldn't find it in me. What a waste

Starting a whisky brand really does fit Beyonce. It's like that relaxation with a shot after a long tiring day. Or gathering with peers. Or being on a formal or even social outing. Beyonce, herself is a social drinker and prior to her launching this, it never really occurred to me how much she has referenced alcohol in her songs. Just off the top of my head, I have placed these lyrics from different songs - "Yonce up on his mouth like liquor" "Cigars on ice, cigars on ice" "Bottle in my hand, the whiskey up high" "Davis in my bones" "I've been drinkin', I've been drinkin', I get filthy when that liquor gets into me" "Sippin' my favorite alcohol (Alcohol), Got me so lit, I need Tylenol" "Me and my ladies sip my D'USSÉ cup (sorry, I ain't sorry)" And I'm sure there would be more if I do more research. So, this totally fits her. The brand gives off opulence, relaxation, luxury, wealth

Disclaimer - I'm talking based on my perception of him on TV. This is very subject to change in light of new information. With that said, Freddie is the sweetest guy to have come out from Love is Blind. And he has the most beautiful smile, it literally lights up his eyes. So it was quite sad to see that light ebbed from his eyes in subsequent episodes cos of one girl. He is a full package - he has his own beautiful beautiful house, dresses well, is successful, takes care of his special needs brother, is close with his family, and he is not even arrogant. So I'm wary that they didn't show us everything. Now, he is not without fault - he did confess to cheating almost a decade ago. That's not the worst thing I imagined to be his toxicity especially considering his looks at that... Undoubtedly, UK season is peak reality TV. I absolutely enjoyed this season. There was only one shitty character, and it's a he. But Best season by far and the gap is not even close. And

When I was watching Mad Men, I just couldn't relate to it. But everyone especially those in their 30s and 40s swear it's one of the best drama ever. So I decided to quit it, and I'll go back to watch it in my 30s. Same with this sex and the city and Desperate Housewives. At this my age, I'm not the target audience. When I started Grey's anatomy, I totally loved it immediately. Loved it even more than House M.D even though House is objectively the better medical drama. I think it's mostly cos Meredith started as an intern and even though it's different fields, the internship experience is similar across the board. The point here is just there are movies that aren't enjoyable to you cos it doesn't speak to you, or you're not at the level to understand the nuances of the characters.

Again, the best place to get book recommendations remains goodreads. But to be very specific, check people's tags. I finished a book and read a review that caught my attention so I decided to check out the person's page. And she has a shit load of specific tags depending on the trope. And in this "would reread a million times" tag, I found like 2 books that were also in my "absolute-favourites" tag. That just tells me we have a similar taste.  So I've added all her books to my to read as well. That's how I find book recommendations. This Goodreads and reddit

When they opened the door for Freddie and the girl, she could not believe her eyes. She started crying immediately. Like she couldn't believe it. She was so shocked like "are UK people actually this stunning." I've seen a pink flag for Freddie though. His IG is prominently thirst trap pictures. I mean objectively, he is really really stunning, it's crazy. But his IG gives the player's energy or he might even be gay. Cos gay men are really more attracted to guys with huge muscles so if a man posts muscles/seductive pictures when he is not a model or a gym instructor, he is likely targeting a gay demographic. I'm not even lying, his older posts have men commenting "hot 🥵" and like. I'd hate to be spreading rumours about a genuinely good guy's name like this but you can never be too careful. Love is Blind UK is definitely the best for me. And I'm saying this as someone whose favourite couple is still Brett and Tiffany from Love is Blind

When the Jeffery Dahmer adaptation was released, I just couldn't get into the series. I felt they were tryna humanise him. I prefer documentaries when it comes to crime.  Jeffery really said, "I want to know why I am the way I am." He understood that what he was doing was wrong. In his last statement to court he said "he didn't know if he was sick, evil or both. That he is sorry and hopes prison gives him the peace he has been seeking for through the murders." In a way, you can understand that Jeffery Dahmer was the way he is. He just didn't have empathy, but he owned up to his crimes. He had self awareness, but he just didn't understand why he had this warped sexual drive. He said it emanated from the feeling of loneliness and his inability to find something in life to give him happiness, peace and fulfilment. He was fully cooperative with the police, provided a very detailed description of all his victims during his investigation. Watching this ma

Netflix is recommending this documentary to me again. I always feel sorry for this dude whenever I remember him. He was a successful football player with so much potential. He is gay, so much so he hated that himself. Like he'd messed around with his best friend in high school. Continued denying that part of him cos in his mind macho men aren't supposed to be gay. Eventually started doing drugs. Later on, killed some people cos he wasn't controlling his anger. The person he was even indicted for was a colleague in the game. I believe the guy discovered he was bisexual, so Aaron was scared he was going to be outed. And when he finally got incarcerated, he eventually embraced his gayness and got himself a twink boyfriend in jail. But I don't think he ever got over his internalised homophobia. He later ended his life in jail. Quite a sad story. To think he was so good, he helped aid his team to participate in the Super bowl. Very very sad

One thing, you're 5 years into your marriage, always thankful that you have a family, own a house, have 2 beautiful kids, have a loving husband, pregnant with another child, and the next minute, you're dead with your kids. Your murderer you ask? The same husband you're grateful for everyday that you married.  He is the best thing that happened to her. The family said "I couldn't have asked for a better man." He went to her colonoscopy cos of her lupus soon after meeting her. Their Facebook videos are them looking happy, him playing with the kids, doing house work with her together. The bottom line is, "he seemed like a genuinely good guy." 8 years of relationship later (5 of which they were married), he didn't want to be with her anymore.  He claimed he had a discussion with his wife, Shannan Watt and he felt that the spark wasn't there. He is talking about separation and selling the house. House she built when she was single. Note that this

  Just before he died, Ted Bundy (one of the worst serial killers in America), held on to the scripture, did some prayers before his execution in 1989. This man was responsible for the rape, execution, mutilation and necrophilia (sex with dead people who he killed btw), of over 30 young women. His stated reason? He just had the urge and a voice in his head telling him to kill those reasons. The more logical reason, he had self esteem issues, fell in love with a beautiful woman who later broke up with him, and he was now seeking revenge killing young attractive women  His killings aren't the point of the status, you're telling me as he had fully repented just before his final execution like this, him don go heaven like so. Like that thief on the cross with Jesus.  And according to the Christian faith, some of the women he killed will be in the same heaven as him. And those who didn't get a chance to repent before he brutally maimed them will find themselves in hell? 

  This docuseries was entertaining as hell to watch. Wow, I just remembered why track and field was my favourite sport (before gymnastics came and took over). This was really absolutely entertaining to watch. What I noticed is that these athletes literally have fun running for their lives. Like that over seriousness that's in other sports, e no dey here at all. From their coaches, to even the previous sprinters, every scene of them just revealed that they just loved running for their lives. Their only enemies were just time.  Like that whole in-depth strategy on the technical shot or routing to do X and Y, nehi nehi. The only strategy is to get in the mind of your competitors to doubt themselves, so you can race against their time. Absolutely brilliant, totally enjoyable to watch.  P.S - Noah Lyles is totally insufferable but he does has the skills to back it up

Phew, this one was hard to watch.  This documentary goes in-depth on how much these gymnasts were abused during the cold war as children. One of the earlier US competitors said the Eastern bloc gymnasts always looked scared, robotic and they didn't seem happy ever And if you watch older videos, they really do look scared. Why won't they. These are literally kids. They put 14 year olds through gruesome gymnast routines. In their minds, the tinier you are, the more flexible you are to do routines. But the bane of the above is that you're cultivating a environment toxic environment. You have total control of most hours of the day for these kids. They are physically, emotionally and verbally abused every day. One of the most toxic coaches would literally have them on scale to measure their weight every day. Jamie Dantzscher even said that after she fell sick and lost 6 pounds, the coach literally told her "you have to maintain that weight." What this means is that thi

  I grew up listening to Westlife and Backstreet Boys courtesy of my siblings. Which is why it was really surprising to me that I never was a 1direction fan, neither did I become a kpop boy group fan. That's not the point of this update. The point is to imagine being the person that made Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys and NSYNC, and only 5 people came to your burial. Only 5 people. Why you might ask? Nothing you haven't guessed. Lou Pearlman was a sleazy businessman who was fronting Ponzi scheme behind all the record labels and boy bands he signed. This Ponzi went on for like 30+ years. Up to 500 million dollars ripped off people. Thank God, it came crashing down. Literally went from fame, and influence, to dying a disgraced fellow.  And the worst part of it, these boy bands were not even enjoying. At the peak of their career, they were being paid around $50,000 a year. Note, these were kids signed before they were adults so of course, they didn't know better before signin

Immediately I saw how neat that flyer was, as well as the itemized points, I told my friend this looked staged. And these are my reasons: 1. The people I follow on twitter haven't talked about any protests at all. So if they weren't saying anything, I knew it's not coming from the people. 2. Did you see the poster, it looked very staged 3. What's that point about "not quitting, even if people are killed." Yeah, ideally people should continue protesting. But outrightly saying it in the poster? Staged A.F 4. The other point about children of public officers attending school in Nigeria? Fake AF. Who really gives a shit about where they go to school. People just want to survive 5. Transition to unicameral legislature? Please, the only reasonable thing that everyone supports is Confederal legislature. Every state for itself so we know who to blame 6. Revert petrol to N100? #scoffs And I haven't even listed all the points. Just reading the poster will have you s

When we talk about pro-abortion, it's less about killing off potential Jesus Christ and more like making sure that parents don't birth kids they just can't provide appropriate parenting to. Cos what's the reason you tie up your young son in a cemetery all night as punishment? Why will anyone do that? This same child will grow up being beaten, punched, and eventually exposed to cocaine and heroin. And this same child will grow up to be a serial killer that terrorized Los Angeles for over a year. That's the story of Richard Ramirez. He killed 12 people and raped over 15 people. Apparently, it was even his cousin that taught him how to kill people. And this guy actually went to library, borrow books on how to torture people. The peculiar thing about this killer is that he doesn't even have a victim profile. All his victims were dissimilar. He raped children (boys and girls). I mean children as young as 6 and 8 year olds. He raped young teens, he raped grown women.

I use to wonder "when did weed become so normalized?" but then I did some reading. Every generation has a vice that is really prevalent among the youths. I was watching madmen, it's an advertising agency series set in the 60s, and literally every scene, they were smoking cigarettes. Everyone was chain smoking, men and women.  In the 70s and 80s, crack cocaine was the thing, just about everyone was on it. If you worked on wall street, most likely, you'd have had a whiff. In the 90s, it was heroin. In the 2000s, it was meth, possibly why it was the central theme in Breaking Bad. For our generation, it's weed and vape. The good news is these ones are milder, compared to the older generation. The bad news is that they're still not good for your health. So it's less that our generation is spoilt and more than everything is online now. 

Perfumes are probably the most subjective thing for people. But when people hype something, at least, you'd expect a semblance of good quality. Like how MFK Baccarat Rouge is hyped. I smelt it and I understand why it's hyped like that. But you see these tiktokers hyping Lattafa and Arab perfumes, they need their accounts banned. Sure, the perfumes are good. But no way should they be hyped as much as they are. There is just something synthetic about those scents. It's almost as if, they haven't allowed the ingredients to come together. And I say this based on having Khamrah, Nebras, Heibah and Oud Al Layl perfumes.  They are just not for me. I got Heibah by Lattafa. The opening notes always throw me off. It's just too girly for me. I can't even manage it even at night, I only spray it for road walks. Got Nebras cos they said it's like Eillish 1 perfume and the only thing it was reminding me of the cocoa butter vaseline my father used to buy for us then. Had t

  People yap about reporting to the police but we are all here last week when a girl was raped in Nigeria police station. That force is hardly reliable in protecting women. Same thing abroad. This woman in this documentary has been assaulted and raped 3 different stages of her life. First time - she was 12. She was scared and ashamed and didn't report it. The second time, she was 19. And when she went to report to the police, the officer talked her out. Cos she was at a party at the time. The third time, she was 30. She was literally kidnapped from her house, and raped two times. And even after the third time, the police and the media said she was faking it. They said she elaborated this scheme so she can rehash her rape experience. Like how do men do this thing? Yeah, I'm calling men cos all the cops that interacted with her during her deposition were men. And you know who finally vindicated her? Another women cop in a different state altogether who was solving a case regardin

I thought that documentary where they discovered they had over 94 known siblings , was the height of fertility fraud (that one where the doctor was inseminating women without consent), then I watched this docuseries. This man has over 1000 kids all over the world. He was active in 11 donor banks in the Netherlands (they weren't aware) and based on that alone, he had like 103 kids. Some couples had more than 1 kid with him. In fact, one woman in the documentary personally knew 8 people who had kids with his sperm in her network. Hell 3 kids kids of his were in the same class and they all didn't know before he was exposed.  To add to that, oga was running a side gig where you can contact him directly for private sperm donation. His goal? Be the person with the most children in the world. He is spreading his seeds, that's just his life purpose - he took "be fruitful and multiply" quite literally. This man has procreated in all continents - yes even in Africa (known o

I read somewhere that many Nigerian girls choose to get married so they can finally leave their parent's house. And that is true to some extent. Hell, I myself left straight to Lagos after my project defence and I haven't been back to the East since. Parenting, especially the style of our parents generation was too hard, and quite frankly too strict. And sometimes it becomes too suffocating so much so that a child thought she had no other option than to kill her parents. That is what Jennifer Pan did. Her father led with the "tiger" parenting style and this girl hired hit men (not once but twice) to kill her father. Her reason? Cos the father told her not to be with her boyfriend. The boyfriend in question is a drug dealer. Like literally, she had no business having that boy as a boyfriend. Why does she loves the boyfriend that much? Cos he helped her on a high school trip when she was asthmatic. She wasn't intelligent which caused her admission to be rescinded. A
