Life with Las B...

  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
