On some Fridays mom would write out a shopping list for me to buy from the Jos Main Market. 1. Tomatoes 2. Onions 3. Pepper 4. Vegetable oil… and so on. She’d give instructions like “Don’t buy the soft tomatoes!”, … Continue reading Why go Vegan?
Very soon. I think it’s about time I bought a car. Two weeks ago I hopped on a bike. Before I dropped off, the well dressed driver made two attempts to ask for my phone number. I ignored the man and … Continue reading I am buying my car

I really love anything with coconut essence in it. Besides the fact that it tastes good, there is this islandish and tropical scent it gives off, so when I was told I could actually make my own coconut oil, I was like for real?? I sort of procrastinated on that until I saw what looked like a 10 Oz bottle of coconut oil going for #4,000! without further ado, I went and bought me a coconut to experiment! Of course after the experiment I could fully appreciate its pricey status, but its something I don’t mind doing for my personal use; just … Continue reading DIY Virgin Coconut Oil Recipe
What is NYSC? The call. The trip. Registration. Swearing in. Waking up. Sleeping during meditation. Dodging parade drills. Hanging out at mami market. Hanging from the upper bunk. Torn boots. Dirty tennis shoes. Brown shirt necklines. Funny shorts. Runny stockings. Attention! Ajuwaya!! Undersized head-dresses. Oversized khakis. White, white, white-everywhere! Camera flashes, teeth flashes. Under the sun or in the rain. Making up. Breaking up. Pulling out. Bonding with. The Beagle sings Good morning Nigeria! Good night Nigeria! The trek. The campfire. Victory. Defeat. Making choices by: losing yourself, then finding yourself. NYSC…. Nostalgia. Written in Camp Ede, Osun, Nigeria. 23.03.11. … Continue reading Nostalgia. A Poem
TODAY: Of all the drafts I have on WordPress, I simply cannot believe that I did not publish this one. Looking though this morning I found this post I was supposed to publish some 8 months ago. For some odd reason it was not published. I have come to understand and accept the truth that everything happens for a reason, and so maybe this post was meant to be published for someone who really NEEDS it today. So, whoever you are, I hope this post (WATCH THE VIDEO) does what it’s meant to do, for you. You can do … Continue reading What To Do, If You Want To Change The World
Hallo Hallo, It’s me again! How are you, fine? I knew you’d say that. How are you, really? Megan is this beautiful lady I met here on WordPress. Two interesting facts about her: She has OCD (a topic I mildly obsess about) which I believe she handles marvelously well. She also co-owns a cat – Chester – who she absolutely adores, and so do I! He’s one of the most distinguished and photogenic cats I’ve seen and I enjoy watching his pictures. Oh, another thing: Megan was the one who nominated me for the Liebster blog award, and has been … Continue reading The Creative Bloggers Award
Since it’s Valentine’s day tomorrow and bla all, I’d like to share with you some of the love-related songs in my playlist. I’ve also included their videos and song quotes. I hope you can relate to one of them… Enjoy! 1. Accidentally in love – Casting Crowns “…Well maybe I’m in love (love) Think about it every time I think about it Can’t stop thinking ’bout it…” This song was featured in Shrek2 which has an upbeat but laid back theme. If you’ve ever fallen in love accidentally you should be able to relate to this. The video is very … Continue reading My Current Love Songs Valentine Playlist
Now that our government has decided to give us back our unofficial public holiday by shifting the presidential elections (woohoo!!), we can all dare to dream about how fun Valentine’s day is going to be! I enjoy the public display of affection which I can (almost) smell in the air wherever I go, and even though I’ve not had a special valentine’s in a long time, I like to see other people happy. This post is not about them though. I’m thinking about what would make me happy on a day like that? 1. A Camcorder Everyone wants to keep … Continue reading What would I like for Valentine’s?
