BUGLICIOUS

So while I was trying to mind my business, I stumbled on this. I hear it is the most delicious bug in Nigeria.
It is also a major delicacy for those that live in the Eastern part of Nigeria and South South as well.

They are either eaten raw, fried or roasted. Its high protein content makes it very nutritious.

Mummy North!

Guys, I have come again o!. This time, its about a certain Mummy North. I will gist you all that happened since yesterday till now. Imagine how just a few photographs can stir up the world. Power of Social Media or perhaps InstaMedia (Instagram) So I was told Mummy North was on her own when Paper magazine walked up to her, requesting that she'd be the cover girl for their #breaktheinternet issue. As a sharp 34 year old nursing mother of Armenian blood, such an offer must not pass her by. Considering the amount she was going to get from it which by now we know would be no chicken fee.  My very reliable sources say it was actually Mama North that suggested the nude photos to The Paper Magazine.  Even its director told us that Mummy North said 'if we are gonna do it, let's really go there'.  According to him, it was Mummy North's idea to take off her clothes and show more butt. She was willing to take off her clothes.... Hmmmm, things we watch on TV. She must have...

LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY

Its been a minute yeah, I know and I've missed you. After a conversation with some friends, I finally got inspired to write about one of my Living in Lagos Chronicles. As much as every memory of this incident surprises me, I find a reason or two to laugh real hard and even consider acting...lol. The initial plan on this fateful morning was to go to work as usual but then that bad angel whispered evil thoughts of where I could go to and would have more fun (unholy) obviously, #imnosaint!. So I changed routes and headed to ........... story for another day. I had enough opportunities to change my mind because I was so unlucky from the very beginning. First, I had to sit in a bus for 2 good hours trying to wait for passengers and of course they never came. I got impatient, got off the bus and went to some other bus stop. Luckily I found one, it took me to Costain. At least I was a bit close to my destination, Surulere. Then I began to wait again at the Costain ...

Game or Simply Lame

I was having one of my chitchat moments with a close friend and the topic 'Standards' was raised. It was then I realized that many dating couples have too high standards they expect of each other thus many single people or broken marriages. Everyone has standards,they keeps us motivated to do our best, but often times these standards cause undue stress. Some often impose their standards on their loved ones; this is a new source of stress and frustration for partners who feel they cannot meet these expectations. I'm not saying standards are not good or unhealthy in relationship, I only think it shouldn't determine how much or how far the relationship should go. It also shouldn't be a criterium to determine if the relationship will lead to marriage but then again who is to blame? The partner with unattainable standards or the one who isn't truthful to him or herself and believes these standards can be reached.
