Long time no blog🥴



Oh goodness, taking a break from here seems to be taking forever. A whole month??? Damn


This is me listening to Running to You by Chike right now and all I can hear is my blog calling on me that ''lollycious, why has thou forsaken me?''


You know what? I'm back with full force.... yeaga


So, as I entered here after a while I noticed I needed to dust, remove the cobwebs, mop the floor and finally fumigate. Would be needing herbicide too cos I noticed the weed around the LOLLYCIOUSTALKS compound. Lol


Here's the gist so you all can know what's up with me all these period. Two phones were stolen in my bag on my sister's wedding (I mean mine and my bride's) on the first day of the month. Kai, e shock me.


Prior to this time, I had been losing interest in blogging because of the dropped readership statistics due to network issue and I thought of quitting but a part of me is still saying ''baby continue.''


Back to the phone issue. The more I described the incidence, the more I had looked like a fool to people by saying that I dropped my bag in care of people to go take pictures with the bride, was told by the MC it wasn't the turn of the bride's family yet and going back to my seat to get the highest shock of my life, my bag had been opened when I was so sure it was closed properly few seconds ago.


It was the closing hour already and the church was already looking scanty due to the fact that majority of the guests had left for the reception venue.


I didn't want to believe the phones were stolen at first, I looked around and then asked people nearby to start calling the numbers. They rang at first then the two lines became switched off like instantly. Chineke🙆


I regretted not raising an alarm immediately because I didn't want the atmosphere to change and cause the bride to be worried.


Mehnnnnn, it was hard to believe ooo. Two phones worth more than 100k altogether. I hated myself for falling victim. At first, I became desperate to look for it by all means even if it's by consulting the oracle or a diety. Lol, don't mind me. I just couldn't believe my smartness could be outweighed.


I was lambasted by almost everyone. It was as though I had lost the phones intentionally or maybe misplaced them and a lucky someone picked them up.


Omooooh, I cried my eyes out. It must have been as a result of stolen phones and me missing my sister at the same time. Like, I locked myself up and wailed terribly. Why should it be me on the first day of the month? Was eventually consoled by people who made me see reasons why I should thank God nothing more than that happened.


Fast forward, I traveled back to school that Sunday without any phone. You see ehn, it is better to have a faulty phone than one's phone to be stolen oooo. Everything about me looked different. Thoughts flying in my head was ''How would I cope without a smartphone?''


I went back to Ibadan that same week, got my sim cards retrieved without a phone to insert them. E choke. Well, a good friend came to my aid and I went digital again but at a pace I'm still unsure about. Still thinking in my head, how will I get a new phone bayi???


Booooom, when it was seeming unreal of whether I was still going to use a phone in the first half of the year, a new phone landed! New whip alert🤭


I've missed you all. I guess you've been good??


Gist continues...


Virtual hugs FAM 🤗🤗🤗

Can I live your life for you??

What happens when a lot of people are pointing out the right way you ought to live for you? The moment someone says "it's done this way" and another tell you "that way would be better" All you put yourself to is simply FRUSTRATION. Generally speaking, we love acceptance as human beings. We want to do things that would make people proudly have our backs and say yes, that's my friend or that's my child. The moment we crave for people's acceptance, we tend to be vulnerable by giving ears to what people around us say so that when they tell us they don't like what we've done, we just at times gullibly adjust that thing even when we knew we had done nothing wrong. This act is referred to as PEOPLE- PLEASING.  It happens when we are so conscious of what people might say about us so as not to break ties with friends or loved ones.  When people around us notice this vulnerability, they would be delighted in tossing us to and fro like they do to coins ...

New Year Resolution 📝

This resolution of a thing sef, it's always somehow. Many of us pledge to do some things or even vow to stop some things at the beginning of a year but eventually we get incapacitated. How numerous resolution get discarded by February baffles me alot sha. Another worst thing about this is that some people even forget they made a resolution as regards a particular thing. They remember at the close of the year and promise themselves they would turn it over to the incoming year and the cycle goes on and on. Why do we find it hard to stick by our resolutions? According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, resolution may mean : A strong will, determination. A statement of intent, a vow. Some people, after so many failed resolutions have given up, they want to go with the flow of ''anything goes.'' The idea isn't that bad, it is however good when we map out how we want the new year to be. Whether to inculcate new things or thrash stuff that ain't ideal. Do...

Women👩👧

 Most times we often depict the female gender as vulnerable. They are exposed to danger and all form of ill treatment in the society. I could remember a speech I delivered to my fellow coursemstes some years back in an English Presentation class. It was titled ''You're invaluable as a woman'' and it was targeted at appreciating the female gender. Coming from a family of six where my dad was the only male, I was so interested in the topic which made me treat it personally. Well, I believe by now we should have debunked the ancient myths of ''female children do not need formal education'' or ''a girl child will end up being in the kitchen'' and so on. Even though President Buhari once made a statement that undermined the female gender particularly about the First lady belonging to the other room. He retracted his words later but we all know the school of thought to which he belong. Women go through a lot, let's be factual about it. ...
