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.

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...

#DoubleHustle - Banking meets Hair Fashion

It seems like everyone in Nigeria is an entrepreneur these days. Could it be some sort of trend that will phase out after a while, the liberating and elevating feeling it gives to be addressed as a business owner and an employer of labour? Maybe it is an attempt to break even in the current economy reality we are experiencing, or perhaps an effort to change the stereotypical impression that only white collar jobs are the best.
