Life with Las B...

  Naval and Omotoyosi Ogunbanwo made me start considering tech very seriously. But the last straw on the camel's back that made me abandon my masters in history prospects was (ironically research). I scoured the internet, for career progression for someone studying history. Nothing really positive. Infact, even Caucasians themselves said they are not seeing any jobs. Those that got employed at museum said they did art history, so archaeology graduates have better chances of placements than pure history. I visited Reddit, Quora and the end goal usually ultimately ends up as a professor, of which I am not the most patient person for it. I then searched career progression of programming and unless Jesus Christ comes down today, they'll always be need for programmers, even with the A.I.  I said, even if maths is a must, I'll go back and learn. It's not as if I was not good at maths before. Anyways, I am not earning as much as I'd like, but I am where i am supposed to be...

When I joined rotaract, I was not able to afford the events. But anytime members return from their trips to give updates, they're always like "you've not experienced the real rotaract until you've attended these events." Then, they'd inadvertently add that "Whatever happens at X and X stays there" Now for someone like me, I know I'm not missing anything but I figured, I could give the benefit of doubt. Have the so called experience. I eventually saved up for one. And it confirmed my suspicions. Infact, I would have preferred I stayed back and gisted till morning with my roommates.  My best experiences in Unn are watching Shadow Hunters and 13 Reasons Why with Collete, in my first year, or with when I chatted the whole of midnight with Mae-Ri in my second year, doing skincare mixtures with Olivia, and my Chiamaka roommates. Or going to Ifechukwu and Adaeze's house to dance, or to Amarachi's house to eat ayarara ji or in my hostel with Chim...

  Anytime I remember this lady, I'm resolute in my decision that "never ever am I going to be protesting for issues concerning men, Chukwu ajụ" So basically, this babe was among those championing for Black Lives Matter, especially for the killings of black American men. And after a particular day's protest, the same black men she was voicing for raped her to death and dumped her in a trashcan. Ụmụ Chineke, a dustbin. This was in 2020 during that George Floyd murder and the subsequent protests that ensued. After that and subsequently the gists I read on twitter on women getting groped when EndSARS Lagos started, I was vehement that I wasn't going anywhere for East own. Throughout History, from the lores of Achilles of Greek, to the time of David in the bible, to Alexander the Great of Macedonia, to Mark Antony of Rome, to The World Wars, Vietnam Wars, Nigeria-Biafra war, men always take women as spoils of war.  One of the history that has painted me the most was th...

  On Yesterday's episode of this career. I started off the day with No 1. By 10am when I'd left for market, I was at No 4. Came back and made ofe onugbu and ofe ọra. During my standup at 4pm, I was at No. 5 and gave a long tailed excuse on the bugs I had. I did say turn on my laptop again. Watched kdrama afterwards. Read some chapters in a historical fiction just before bed.  Woke up this morning and it was actually whilst doing my chores, that I was mentally walking through the code and possible solutions. Opened my laptop by 10am again, looked at the code again for what I'd been thinking earlier, and resolved the issue in 10 minutes. Now, I'm at No 8 and all is good again.  As for no 9, maybe next year I will be audacious enough to think that 

  I just finished Gyeongsang Creature and it was intense. Not the kind of series I usually watch but it's really really good. Solid 9/10 if not more. I pray kdramas continue their quality of production forever. I did read somewhere that Hollywood was made for male gaze while Kdrama was made for female gaze. There is a reason Bridgerton is popular and gets all the hype. They're not the first historical romance fiction adapted to movies. But when something is written for women, you just know it.  In South Korea, about 90% of scriptwriters are women. From the romcom that people look on with derision, to the action and thriller dramas elitists swear are better to watch. From City Hunter, The Uncanny Counter, Vagabond, Arthdal Chronicles, Six flying dragons, Sweet Him, the scripts were written by women. Even the newly released Gyeongsang Creature. In fact, it was the same woman that wrote Gyeongsang Creature that also wrote Dr. Romantic 1, 2 and 3.  With that said, I just migh...

What if you die? So, won't we all die? We are literally born to die. My own is this, if you literally give me $10 million dollars now, it's not changing a single thing about my lifestyle. The most I will do with it is japa immediately and put the rest in index funds. It won't stop me from wearing the same knicker I bought in my second year. I'm building up my minimalism philosophy and not wanting material things (except perfume and skincare). I met PS5 when I came to my brother's house since December 2022 and I haven't been curious enough to even play the game. And we usually have light 24hrs a day.  The most I would indulge in is boarding flight to the east and back to visit my friends at whim. I don't really have desire to go to Maldives or any aesthetic place (unless it's a group travel). It's not on my bucket list. We all want different things. Reading a book by an author that writes exceptionally well makes me high, I can't explain it. I don...

Can I tell my father about these religious stuffs I write? Nọdụ nụ ebe ahụ. I actually spoke with my father back in 2021 and told him I am not going to be following him to the ministry he goes to anymore. That I don't like the place. It makes me uncomfortable and I'm not learning anything from the prophet. That I can only manage Sunday service at our Anglican church. This was when I haven't made a single cent to my name. My father shook his head but said "well, it's your life. You are now an adult so you can do whatever." Afterall, I'd also told him before that cooking is not what I like to do but I have to do it anyways since I'm in his house. I'm sure he probably thought, 'that girl dị somehow and needs prayers.' But on the other hand, I've never done anything to shame the Anikwenze name. I get good grades. I'm not promiscuous nor materialistic. I don't scam him with academics money. I don't smoke. I am a teetotaler. He of...
