Dear Child, Where Art Thy Innocence?

       When a 16 year old slaughters a 4 year old for the price of N50,000, I can only begin to wonder if there is still hope for the ones unborn.

Ruth: Episode 2

Statistics show that 3% of single women of marriageable age in Nigeria are undisturbed by their lack of a spouse! The other 97% would do just about anything to become Mrs Somebody! Is this data this valid???  This is a story of just one single lady and not meant to represent all.  RUTH,  Chronicles of being a singleton in Lagos. Inspite how eager I am to get on with my story  (Lastweek's episode), I feel you deserve to know who this yet another talkative is.

Asoebi: Felicitation or Burden?

It's the start of the weekend and boy am I excited.   I can imagine you on the other hand have an event or a list of events lined up to make your weekend interesting. I'm just going to be in my room, on my bed, sipping cocoa, indulging in my favourite pastime activity; blogging, reading and listening to classical music, don't hate. #noteverytimeturnup. But for now, I'll share with you a little something something. So, as I stepped out of church on one sunday like that, I bumped into a childhood friend. Looking at how grown she looked made me realise I don old sha! If you are a catholic like I am, you will agree with me that not all your catheticism classmates remain in the fold as you grow. Many will leave to find their salvation elsewhere, personal reasons or relocation. This was why I was shocked when I saw my old friend. What had she come to do, I quizzed my mind. Then it occurred to me that only one thing could bring her back, at this time. Wedding?

#MyHustle : Tennie Phillips

In recent times, many will agree that the average privileged Nigerian Youth has more than one job, hustle or stream of income. Many reasons are said to have led to this trend such as personal/ individual circumstance, environmental or market related opportunities and lastly, societal/cultural factors. Interestingly, some say they became business owners generally because, their regular 9 - 5 wasn't sufficient to afford them the lifestyle they desire. For others, its an escape route to pursuing their passion especially when their main source of income pays well but isn't fulfilling and lastly, for another stratum, its for recognition. Above all, many have embraced entrepreneurship and are pushing boundaries with it.  Everyday from now, on this blog, stories of different creative and innovative young Nigerian entrepreneurs, home and in diaspora will be shared. Essentially to promote entrepreneurship and motivate others yet to make that Bold Step. Today we feature Tennies Tou

For thousand years ago, the only people in the world were monkeys and they said,'We'll never walk' Erectus,We'll never talk, 'We'll never use tools and one monkey called the HOMOSAPIEN said 'Oh Yeah!,I'm walking and talking right now.... That monkey was DREAMER. 500years after, the Wright brothers decided to make a flying machine,'you fools,you idiots!What's your problem' , everyone shouted. 'That will never work because plywood weighs more than air'. 2weeks after, the Wright brothers responded  'No,it doesn't, this will work.'. The Wright Brothers were DREAMERS. Vincent Vanghal, everyone told him 'you have only one year, you cannot be a great artist' and you know what he said,  'I can't hear you'. Vincent Vanghal was a DREAMER. To Benjamin Franklin, people said 'you can't fly a plane in a ra

Ladies Apply Within

Vaginas (lotus flower, honeypot, vjayjay) are unique in shape, size and smell, Can I get a witness? You will also agree that they taste the way they taste because of a blend of factors, such as the body's natural sweaty smell, the smell of whatever detergent you use on your underwear, the smell of soaps you use, the smell of the vagina's juices should also be put into consideration. The obvious first step to having a fragrant, delicious pubic region would be to thoroughly wash and wear clean laundry that you wash in soap that doesn't contain dyes or fragrances that will clash with your body's natural scent. It might seem like a good idea to douche with any feminine intimates around in order to get a nice tropical vibe going in your southern hemisphere, but that's not the case. Don't even think about it. Keep it gentle, keep it minimally fragrant. Try taking a bath, if you've got time. Cotton panties are better than less breathable fabrics, since your cr
