Thirty minutes ago, I would have been six feet beneath the ground if not for divine intervention. It was exactly thirty minutes past 1 in the afternoon when I left home for the market to buy some groceries, toiletries, and other items that I would need for the weekend. The last person I spoke to on the phone before leaving the house was my sister, who reminded me to buy some waist beads for her as she had outgrown hers. We spoke for just thirty seconds, after which I wore my favorite Denim Jacket and black shorts, and so I left home for the market. I headed to Joel Market, a popular market in town. This market has various sections where different items are being sold. Since I wanted to buy toiletries, groceries, and waist beads, I walked straight to  G Plaza . I picked up the items I needed and headed to the cashier to pay, which I did. On my way out, I stumbled on these fine sets of lingerie, and I decided to check them out. "How much do you sell them for?" I asked the woman...

If only you could see how excited I am to answer this question. Hehehe. Now I wish I have some sort of superpowers. 2️⃣If you can wipe out one animal/insect from existence, which would it be and why? Mosquito it is! I've always asked what's the purpose of this particular insect because it causes more harm than good. Well, I decided to trace how it found its way down to mother earth, if you are a Christian you will agree with me that, it was one of the plagues God used to show Pharoah his power and since then, mosquitoes have multiplied. But scientists have another theory to the origin of mosquitoes, who am I to argue? Moving on. Being someone with the O+ blood group, I realized mosquitoes are attracted to us.😿😿 How did I know? Most times when I am out with my friends or family in an open space, my hands never rest; I keep slapping my legs, hands, and any other body part that is a bit exposed, which mosquitoes can feed on. Worse, they sing some irritating song in my ears; some...

You meet someone new and start to have this tingling feeling in your stomach, it's the butterflies fluttering and maybe you feel you're in love. Well, no doubt love at first sight exists, simply because we are attracted to that person and have this instant connection with that person just immediately we set our eyes on them. Many times, we all fall in love with a very cute baby, maybe the way they smile or how their hair is curled, or even their skin color, make us attracted to them and then we love them instantly. Often too, we meet someone and it feels like we've known them all our lives, those too can be classified as love at first sight. But the question is; 2️⃣Do you believe in love at first sight? I believe there's a difference between Love, attraction, and Lust. Attraction is what appeals to our mind and eyes immediately, there is no way we talk to someone or even listen to someone whom we are not attracted to in the first place. Why do you think someone stares a...

Love your scars, They are a reminder of all you have been through... The hurt, The pain, The struggles, The rejections, The heartache, Sleepless night, Curious eyes, Your fears, Insecurities... Uncertainties. And beautiful imperfections.. Your scars make you beautiful, They remind you of the many battles you've fought, And how you conquered. Though  It tore you.. You bled.. But then, you healed and moved on. Love what makes you,  YOU. Your SCARS are beautiful. Because nobody knows what it takes to be You!

Let me take you back in time to my University days. I was quite young and naive, though young, I was the head of the class in my department, which made many people come around me. I got noticed by a lot of people and came into contact with this course-mate named Ucee, who told me that she loved how approachable and focused I was and that she would love to be my friend and also support me the best way she could, which I didn't decline. After classes sometimes, I would visit a thrift store in front of our school that sells fancy outfits for affordable prices. I would go there to pick the ones I could afford, and then Ucee always felt embarrassed. "Amie, why do you buy  bend-and-select ?"(That's what we call thrift wear in my country). See from my head to toe, I am worth..." She always told me how much her clothes, hair, shoes, bag, and even phone were worth. Ucee was a big babe. I mean, she wears the latest hair and outfits, she uses the latest phones, and I though...

Have you seen a goat chewing grass before? Sure you must, but didn't care to observe them, do me a favor, when next you see a goat chewing grass, observe intently how their mouth moves back and forth, it's always amusing whenever I see a goat chewing. This brings me to a question I would love to answer, maybe your guess might be right but let's see. 1️⃣What is something that everyone looks stupid doing? For me, everybody who chews gum looks stupid 😹😹😹 because whenever they do, they look like a goat or cow chewing grass😹😹😹. I know that many people chew gum for different reasons, some chew gum to keep their mouth fresh, while others chew gum to fight against sleep or boredom. However, it's always amusing because I look intently at how their lips dance, and how they seriously chew like a goat😹😹, whether they are elegantly dressed or eloquent in speech, all of that can't change how stupid you look chewing gum in public. But my dear, there are levels to this chew...

Welcome to this part of the world called "Nigeria". This country is also known as the Giant Of Africa... However, it's so sad that the Nigerian government isn't working well but despite that, I would love to share a few things I like most about my country. We are hustlers I am so much in love with the Nigerian's hustling spirit, a typical Nigerian has a job and multiple side hustles which is very commendable. They are shameless on the path that leads to success, they are determined, and they are go-getters, while in traffic you'll notice cute ladies and men hawking petty things like Sachet water, gala, chargers, soft drinks, and the like. We are very ambitious, hardworking, and focused. By 4:00 am, the streets of Lagos are already bustling, people are out for their daily bread which is why there is a lot of traffic out there. Nigerians are smart and creative people that's why we have this theme "Shine ya eyes". Whoever can survive in Nigeria can ...

Love is beautiful yet love is pain, Pain for when we lose the ones we love, We lose ourselves too, And so we detach ourselves from everything we once loved. Detachment in turn protects us from pain, However, it restricts us from falling in love genuinely once again. And deprives us of understanding how love works.. Loving is harder than we see in the movies, Loving requires effort. Loving is taking a chance on someone.. It might be sweet and it might tear you apart.. But choosing to love is the best feeling ever regardless.. It gives you some sense of belonging.. It makes you powerful. It makes you the better version of yourself. And pushes you beyond your limit.. Love helps you understand how the world works. That beautiful things exist, Simple gestures can make you smile, That can beautiful things happen in the strangest place, And with the one whom you never envisaged it would be with..

Would you choose peace over chaos? Would you choose peace over toxicity even if it's coming from someone you adore? Are you on the verge of losing it? Have you lost your mind? Does your mind race to the world of fantasy? Do you crave to find yourself one more time? When the world is going insane would you prioritize your mental health over the chaos? Do you need to explain your every move? When people doubt you, would you live in your truth and bloom? Drowning in your worries? Are there things out of your control?? Find a quiet place for meditation, Take a deep breath, Please choose peace. Peace is priceless, When they hurt you, the best revenge is to be at peace with yourself, Everything doesn't need a reaction, Find your peace. Peace is not so expensive, Yet not many can offer it, And many cannot even afford it. Many are still trying to find their balance from an aching heart to a chaotic world. When it feels like your world is falling apart, Remember that your peace is what ...

All I wanted was for her to reciprocate my love, but she kept hiding in her shell, seven days ago, I found a letter by my  doorway . My name is Daniel and I fell in love with a damsel named Tammy, I and Tammy met on the beachside Eight months ago. I approached her that day because she looked lost in thought, I passed severally to get her attention but she was absent-minded, so I wore a beautiful smile, tapped her, and managed to say a few words to get her attention."Hello, I am Daniel, are you fine? you seem to be lost in thoughts." The only response I got was "Hey, Tammy is my name and I am just fine." That response proved my intuition was right as I felt Tammy's soul was tired, too tired of fighting, tired of trying, and tired of the chaos, she wore a worrisome look and I noticed goosebumps all over her skin, maybe she was cold, maybe someone said something hurtful to her, maybe she lost someone in death or maybe she just came to enjoy her own company, I kept ...
