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
Hi people! It’s Friday, whoop whoop! I don’t know about you, but I’m pretty much excited! It’s going to be a fun weekend for me spending time with friends, family and working on a project which I’ll tell you about in another post (Yes, patience is a virtue my friends!). I decided I should stop being such a bad girl and tie up a few strings which I left hanging around here, one of which is my Liebster blog award requirements. I started the “process” by sharing with you 11 random facts about me which you can read all about … Continue reading The Liebster Blog Award II
Some of us have been cheated on: its not a great feeling. Some of us have cheated: I’m sure it’s an even worse feeling – that’s if you have any conscience at all, haha… Ahem, just kidding *straight face*. Some of us have been cheated on and have cheated, so we can’t really be judgmental in this matter, can we? Can we? Don’t take this post too seriously, The title was just to throw you off (Got ya, didn’t I?) 😀 . I’d love to share a video with you though, which absolutely left me in stitches!! It doesn’t matter … Continue reading On the issue of Cheating…
I read a post from NaijaBritt88 in which she played a game. It was sort of weird, but some of the answers corresponded to the questions and that made it funny… I’ve decided I want to play too! If you want to see how other bloggers played, please click here, here and here. RULES OF THE GAME! 😀 Set your music player to shuffle and answer the following questions. The answers are the titles of the songs that come up in your playlist. DASSOL! A note of warning here: I only have 65 songs on my phone. Yeah, yeah, laugh … Continue reading Give Me Love
*** Get out of the car! Get out now!! I stare at the policeman in disbelief, then start laughing out loud. I say get out !! *** 15 MINUTES EARLIER Thanking my lucky stars for getting away from the bus fight without an elbow-blow to my head, I hop off the bus. There are about 3 buses all calling out for the next bus stop so I am spoiled for choice. I pat the beads of sweat off my forehead and decide on which of the buses to get on. Orile fifty naira! Orilie – Orile, fifty-fifty naira!! The bus … Continue reading #3: The One-Way Driver
4:45pm I got off work early today, woohoo!! I happily skip to the bus stop. If I’m lucky I’ll get a bus that I can walk into, not one that others rush and fight over to get a space. I have promised myself that I won’t struggle for bus space Ever Again. However I have developed a coping skill, this is it: when the bus is approaching and people are chasing it I estimate at what point it will stop and try to position myself there. When it does stop I should be located somewhere close to the door and … Continue reading EPISODE #2: THE FIGHTER
One of the most prominent features of Lagos state is that it is over-populated. For the smallest state in the country it accommodates over 9,113,605 people. Yep, that’s true. Living in Lagos requires a lot of energy and a certain amount of alertness – a spring in your step, if you will. You also have to be very street smart to survive! Overpopulated locations come with alot of issues, few of which are cramped residential areas, scarce resources, consistent road traffic and a wide variety of characters! Not a single day goes by without several interesting scenes. It is in … Continue reading The Drunk, The Fighter and The One-way Driver.
After 28 days of non-stop writing I decided I was going to give myself and my readers a long vacation. The plan? Sit back, read and enjoy all the blogs out there on the blogosphere. But the first thing that caught my notice this morning was a comment on my About page. Who still goes there anyways? It’s gotta be filled with cobwebs by now *coughing* Oh well, I go there, and my friend Megan (whose posts are simply interesting) had this to say: “Hello my dear Phoenix, I have nominated you for the Liebster Award! http://meganhasocd.com/2013/03/02/the-liebster-blog-award/ I love your … Continue reading The Liebster Blog Award
