Life with Las B...

It's amusing how the society glorifies being more social, more outgoing, more excited to be with people and anyone who isn't any of the above is told to step outta his or her shell. That you are too boring, too stuck up and even the most ridiculous assumption of all; that you are lonely. Now newsflash sweeties, People like me crave solitude, like I can stay indoors for a year or 2 without feeling anything. Nope, I didn't forget my friends, nope I'm not depressed or shit, nope I sure as hell am not lonely and nope, it's not because I have nowhere to go. I just do not want to go. So in case some of y'all are wondering how my ideal day would go, it would be waking up, do a little bit of yoga, listen to music, read books, sleep, read more books, listen to music, read more books, chat a bit, view status and laugh, check FB, Instagram and YouTube, read more books, and sleep. Does that sound boring to you? Maybe yes, but it's my ideal day, that same way you feel ...

Illness. People don't really know how fortunate they are when they are healthy, like being whole. You don't know how fortunate you are to hold your phone and be reading this I was at a hospital today, to visit a woman. She had fibroid and was operated upon. Unfortunately, she started bleeding so she needs pints of blood to replenish those that were lost. A beautiful woman, she's probably a mother. All these women who would probably intimidate you with poshness if you see them on the road. She was complaining, of excruciating pain. She was seated when I arrived. She said to help her lie down on a bed she was seating. She couldn't do it alone, couldn't move her leg. Her stomach was somewhat protruded a bit, she kept complaining of stomach pain. She didn't even care her wrapper was practically falling off. She was looking for blood, still looking for blood. She had been bleeding since October after her operation. Something probably went wrong. She had already go...

In a normal NIGERIA movie, Nkem Owoh would have gone back to his brother's office to out nsi For him so that he wouldn't recover. The soundtrack to that would have been ridiculous "tu, tu nu nu" (you know the rest) The poison would have shot straight to his heart while he was in bed rest Onyeka Onwenu would have come out screaming "MY HUSBAND, MY HUSBAND" while cradling him without any effort to deal with it till he dies Nkem Owoh the Supposed culprit would also be out shedding tears, saying that His Brother, ODOGWU had left the world to soon He would have taken over the company completely and dragged it to the mud. Maybe be would have been in cohorts with Kanayo O Kanayo Kanayo O Kanayo, would have been summoned to occult with red and black clothing calling "LIONHEART MOTORS* to face the bankruptcy I can't believe our movies depict that rubbish. We never see movies of shrewd business men like Kanayo who are ruthless and aren't cultists ti...

I read a post on Facebook where the poster was urging that people should vote for black books to be turned to novels (Now I'm not talking about thrashy Nani Boi and his brethren). The poster made a statement that struck me, "That whites can never run short of movies to act as long as they have authors". She couldn't have said any more truth than this. Recently, I've started enjoying crime and prosecution books notably Josh Grisham's works which are very interesting. Sometimes when I read his works, I wish I was studying law but change my mind almost immediately cos our Nigeria hasn't reached the stage of the flawless investigation in 1st World countries. Other times, I wash my hands off law cos it's too risky (if I go by the books). Anyways, the point I'm trying to make is that Josh Grisham is a lawyer-turned-author who 8 of his 42 works have been turned to movies and all his works are bestsellers. Of course, there are many other authors out the...

Genevieve Mama be doing Nigeria Proud. Lionheart is what I call a movie not the nonsensical trash that we always see in the name of movies. The movie is Bae, I can't get over it. I shaa am still mid-way through the movie and surprise surprise, I haven't fast forwarded it at all. The setting, theme, language, acting. It just flows like what I film should be. The usual stereotypes in Nollywood wasn't there at all. There are scenes which can't help but make you laugh because of how reminiscing it is. I loved how they Incorporated Igbo in the film especially the usage of proverbs by Pete Edochie and Osofia. I loved the actors that were used, The depiction of Nigeria as it actually is. And the soundtracks, It was good not hearing horrid soundtracks we see in Naija movies (telling you the scene before you even proceed). The movie is a breath of fresh air to what we see in Nollywood. All these D-List producers and directors should go learn from her. Genevieve creates *Art* ...

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...
