LollyciousTalks

It's good to have you here again😍 You are loved. Long time no vocabulary. I know scholars here may not really see those words as new nonetheless I'll still share cos what? I get coconut head. Lol So, many of us have actually been here at some points in our life especially when we're trying to really get along in a conversation and present ourselves as supposedly "intelligent."  Hmmm, I could still remember one of the embarrassing moments I had some years back while they were talking about network marketing like GNLD, oriflame, longrich, etc I was like practically linking it to telecommunication networks and everyone was like "no now, seems you're not getting what we are saying..." chai....my feet kinda dragged o Although, you may have tried to do that and not be caught that you're really ignorant of the subject matter. Such person that pretends to be so much knowledgeable when in actual sense he or she isn't is called a PSEUDOINTELLECTUAL.  ...

Lollycious Yaaaay I'm excited it's July and most importantly my birth month. "Lemme see you go low low low...Buga won" 💃 A quick one yeah, I was in my school last week to attend JCI General Assembly hoping I would be able to share something with them as per past director of Publicity but I couldn't. So I would like to do this now since we still still have the second half of the year to achieve a lot if Christ tarries. It's basically about building a personal brand which speaks volume about us as individuals and what we do. I had uploaded on my WhatsApp status how I met someone at an event and instead of the person to simply just tell me his name and what he does, he was telling me how he is a very tight friend to the commissioner and I wondered what for? I want my name to ring a bell not until I link myself to a superstar cos I'm also a celebrity o and I'm sure you want to always be known as "You" not as someone else. Building a personal bra...

It's 16weeks after my final exams already and like my colleagues, we haven't seen our final results not to talk of clearance or NYSC. Hmmmmm Don't know what this is but all I can say is it's really annoying. If I'm not mistaken I could remember how my immediate elder sister finished her final exam sometimes around September ending or October at the University of Ilorin and they were mobilized for NYSC in November of the same year. I actually wanted to rant about this delay and just everything cos what? I'm just fed up but I know that alot of things are faulty in my alma mater and let me say in the education system in Nigeria as a whole. I have a friend who has finished from Benue State University since last October and hasn't seen her final results due to ASUU strike. Should I say I hate the fact that most things in Nigeria never even go as planned. Imagine, how we were assured before leaving school that by June, we would go for the mandatory NYSC and this i...

 Hey fam, Have you seen Blood sisters series on Netflix? I know the Nollywood critics would be like why the hype but calm down, it's high time we started embracing what our actors are creating so we can give both positive and negative honest criticisms that would help them do better. So I didn't want to write anything on this movie before y'all think that is it just movie review everytime. A friend also watched the movie and she just kept saying what she felt about the movie and then I just asked her to give it a shot. She hesitated at first but penned something down anyway. Kindly read up fam (Credit - AKADI MAYOWA ) Have you ever heard of the term bestie? you have one or seen duo call each other that? set awon partners in crime🤣🤣, bestie no be for mouth o, it's two friends that so much understand each other (as in they can read each other like a book) and can do anything I mean everything just to have each other's back, this is the case of Kemi and Sarah in Bloo...

It's been some few weeks that I dropped by and alot has happened outside here. From abusive marriage to Chrisland girl trend and now bestiality (blog for another day) The latter seems to be the most disheartening of all the stories. Like WTF! Maybe we would just have to pick one after the other but lemme first ask how do you do? And yeah, April is almost gone too in 2022, how have you been holding up ? especially if you're reading this from Nigeria (Top to botum) Lol  Nawa o! So many things have spoilt in this generation already and we don't even know how perverse the generation coming after this would look like. Parenting seems to beh the cheapest business to run now as there's little to no supervision required. I think I updated on my WhatsApp status sometimes ago how a mother approached me that her daughter got 126 in UTME and she would like me to use everything in my capacity to see that she's admitted into my school even after telling her the cut-off is 150. I ...

Let me start with the slogan "Agesinkólé kan omo re pupo - kuo beun na" So sorry if you don't understand yoruba or haven't seen the movie yet. I'll help by saying Agesinkólé is literally translated as "He who rides horse to rob houses." Lol King of Thieves is an epic story of betrayal that revolves round a prince who was deprived of the throne by the king makers. He was set up as a thief by those he has solely trusted and faced the brutal punishment of death. In a quest for vengeance, he reincarnated and troubled the town violently by carting away goods even with no regards for human life. The movie is indeed a complete package from the casts to the props, the costume, the language, the directing, the clean production and post production.  You know, I just can't be wait to be told after seeing the paparazzi from the premiere and the thriller, mehn.... I became so much inquisitive as to what exactly the content was and can say I truly got the value fo...

I have seen But could be in trouble if I say I have seen a wife lied to her husband that she's away to see her mum when in actuality promiscuity took her from Ibadan to Lagos I have seen a husband pretending before the wife to be broke but giving luxury to Bola the side chick getting home late with excuse on traffic raining curses on his innocent boss I have seen some children multiplying tuition fee by four for flex and designer tops prodigious living on parent's loan I have seen But could be in trouble if I say I have seen pickpockets at bus stops during rush hour unleashing their terror  but "fem" my mouth is shut I have seen MDs who pretend to be kind desperate to taste honey in jar before giving out the job "use what you have to get what you want" Congratulations, resume on Monday I have seen business owners selling their products and services with exaggerated qualities Mere falsity for pecuniary gains I have seen But could be in trouble if I say I have...

  Apparently when this movie started showing on Netflix, I was busy with my final year stress, exams and projects inclusive so I had little or no time to watch movies as that. The movie revolves round a social media fraudster known as Simon who put up an expensive lifestyle on the Tinder dating app to swindle women who have basically fallen in love with him and believed him to be true. These three women victims basically were the ones narrating their ordeals that became a movie. He claimed to be the son to a wealthy family who deal in diamonds and convinces people with the documentation of his luxurious lifestyle on social media especially on instagram. Can we say dating app is now bad? Well, no. There have been so many experiences of people who have met their partners on these dating sites and are still doing well. Okay now, I want to believe those that fall for people like Simon are the ones who are attracted by prodigious lifestyle. Awon long-throat babes and guys who seek valid...

The heat had been terrible the past weeks which always made us stay out late to enjoy the fresh breeze. I entered my room to pick my satin bonnet hung on the wall before bumping into the bed for the night and what I saw was scorpion just above it (on the ceiling). Chai, I almost lost momentum. Was filled with mixed feelings cos I kept thanking God I could see it before it escaped and at the time thinking of ways to kill it. People in Eruwa know scorpion isn't new here, there's a tendency you'll see one in your room within a space of 6months and a year. Well, I really do not know how to describe where it was but it looked so scary that if it had fallen, it would have been on my bonnet, inside the fabrics I've not yet sold or probably crawled to my bed side. Yeeeeh The dry body I brought inside the room as a result of the excess breeze outside began to turn moist and then sweats rolled down in couple of seconds. I can't use broom cos there were things on the ground th...

  There are two sets of people reading this: those that have experienced my current state and those looking forward to it. Maybe I haven't said this but right now I'm blogging as a graduate. Yaaaay I'm not here to wail and narrate ordeals but you would agree with me the journey isn't bread and butter if you study in any of Nigeria's federal or state owned institutions. I want to believe that whoever has taken a step to pursue whether NCE, ND, HND, B.Sc/B.A/B.Ed/B.Agric/B.Tech, L.Lb or any other program in a tertiary institutions should be lauded indiscriminately. For someone like me, I would say it's the survival of the fittest. Almost weighed down and battling with inferiority complex among my friends in the university but at last I had to shake it off as in 'odeychi' Prior to this time, I mean about 5years ago during my ND, I always try to evade conversation that probe into where I school. I could remember how I would always lie to an admirer or any ot...

Okay wait, this thing happens and I'm yet to understand the reason behind it. Why should I as your friend go on to fight someone you aren't in good terms with??? Is it just because of loyalty and friendship that makes me automatically love whoever you loves and vice versa? I don't know if this mentality of inheriting other people's enemy is Africa-centered or all over the world which I doubt it is. Cos I don't even want to imagine people oversees having this kind of mindset. So, being friends through thick and thin has indirectly transformed to disliking same people and loving same set of people together. Eweeey. If you're not talking to your mum, I should also enter your house without greeting her? Or if someone had annoyed you, I should also play dumb to the person's greetings to pass a message of "My friend's enemy is mine" ? Gbogbo eleyi o necestri na I watched a movie recently. There were two ladies who used to be roommates, then they had ...

  Hey fam❤️ Happy new year and welcome to 2022 To people that thought I had ran away from this space, I want to assure you that I'm still here. To new people coming across my blog, I hope you find stuff that interests you here. OMG, I'm actually excited about doing this even though I haven't really thought of what to type but something would eventually drop sha. lol. Yeaaaah, recently in our English class we were told by our lecturer to read Animal Farm by George Orwell before we resume for the new year. Though I had read it before a long time ago (which I'm sure a higher percentage of y'all reading this would have too) but I had to read it again to refresh my memory of the book at least for the sake of exams and any kind of assessment. I had earlier intended I was just going to read the summary online but I reluctantly had to read through in a single day since it was just a little above 110 pages or so. Lemme just say this book is about how animals overthrew humans...

 I don't know if it's me that I'm not serious with my life or the world is just turning upside down.  I could vividly remember how secondary school child's play/ love life looked like, it was a low-key something and even if you're a free person with your parents, it still had limitations of what they could know about your so-called love/lust life. All we see nowadays is just love in tokyo of these teenagers, proposals, matching outfits and all sort of public display of affection. Issokae.   I went out today in a public transport and a girl was sitting next to me, she was on uniform so it's obvious she's a secondary school student. I described her as a girl not just because of her looks but other things kinda showed she may be between 14-17 years at most. Then her phone rang and I saw "Ife Ayemi" with  several love emojis.   I sha cannot block my ears, all the conversation was entering my ears not that I was eavesdropping o. From what I heard the gu...

When we see cheerful people around, we may be thinking they have everything going well for them but I'm sure you know life is beyond that. Just like when people see my posts nd start to hype me. Lol I actually posted on my WhatsApp status that I've been scammed twice this year already but had to delete the post just immediately because people were asking what had happened. It's not as if I'm reluctant to narrate the ordeal but I'm not ready. The purported scam that would have made it three this year was a delivery I had made to Benin. I took the risk of payment on delivery after the customer convinced me he was a music pastor (of which he was for real). First, I was broke and wanted to just have small change through the sales, second is I wanted to win myself an additional customer. I had borrowed money to buy fabrics of like 20k but was scared at the same time. Something in me kept warning me not to take the risk but I just had to. I sent it through an interstate b...

Knock knock Is anyone here? I'm very ashamed of myself getting more active on social media and leaving my blog to grow weed😟 but I honestly would not want September to just go like that without dropping by. I hope you all are fine? Even though the stress that is stressing me is not from this planet. Lol. Well, my penultimate semester is gone. Yaaaay💃 Hmmmm, so this thing I want to talk about is almost very general. Can you remember that moment you are being corrected to do something right and you are like "leave me o, that's how I am" or "that's how we are in my family." That's not how you are, you've only chosen to repudiate corrections meant to better you. So, someone I look up to was actually having a conversation with her mentees where she pointed out that issue as a sign of immaturity and yes, it is. Please let's not confuse things o, there are certain things we do that we have the audacity to reply "that's just me" For i...

I'm grateful for the fact that I've moved from the position of "I can't" to "I can try" I've seen so many people belittle themselves when they are asked to do some things, you'll hear "Me I know myself o, I can't do this thing at all." By the power bestowed on me now🤣 I'm telling you to please let go of that mindset. It ties you down so badly. I want to see a generation that dares to do, a generation that challenges the undoable. The worst form of failure you can never have is not trying at all. Fine, some people know their strengths and weakness as to what they are good at or bad at. But just because you're good at something doesn't mean you can upgrade yourself in what you think you are bad at. Guess what? You can turn out the best. I've read so many motivational books that says if you know what you're good at, just focus on that and leave the rest. Well, I'm not disputing that but my dear, the world has g...

Oga o, you people didn't see me and nobody asked of me. Shey na like that life be??? Not that I've actually been so uptight but I never knew why I haven't dropped by here in two weeks? Or you probably thought blogging has ended for me??? Naaa So fam, how do you do? And what have I missed so far? Incase you didn't know, my birthday was this past Sunday (July 18th) and it was one of the dry"est" yet thankful birthday. I actually received a birthday cake early that Sunday morning, like one or two credit alerts and several posts on social media. I wanted more though. I'm sure the next birthday would be better than this one 💯. God spares our lives. FYI: I'm still open to every gifts. Back to the matter. I'm actually propelled to write this based on recent happenings, I mean DEATHS of young and old. Oh no, I'm sorry this is not to scare you but I'm driving somewhere. You see when Obama DMW died, the veteran plus-sized yoruba actress Eniola Badmu...

On the part of self assessment, are you doing worse or better? Can you be sincere with yourself please? To be honest, setting goals is easy but working in tandem with that goal is a bit hard. Let me remind you in case you've forgotten of the resolution(s) you made in the beginning of this year. Remember how you listed this and that, what you'll stop and you'll start, what you planned to do and how you intend achieving it.  You must have been so up to it in first few days of January but can you see June has wrapped up and we've moved to the second half of the year in no time, what's up with all those things? Maybe I should kukuma do aproko about a girl called Lollycious. This is meant to be confidential, please don't tell her o. So, it happened that when she was checking through her resolution list, she's supposed to have read at least 12 books by June (i.e minimum of 2books per month) but you see her ehn, she has only read 3, thinking she would still meet up...

I think this is like the first time a movie will be out in the cinema and I'll go see it almost immediately (the following day). Most times, I go after a week cos of the fear of crowded cinemas but this time, I could not wait. Fam, I got to see #ÀYÌNLÁthemovie last weekend and all I can say is the hype is worth it. Why did I rush to see the movie? Could it be because I was so confident in the directing role of the veteran Tunde 'TK' Kelani? Or because the producer Jade Osiberu (Producer of Sugar Rush starring Banky W, Adesua Etomi, Bisola Aiyeola, Bimbo Ademoye, Toke Makinwa, e.t.c ) or maybe just because my crush Lateef Adedimeji is out here again to give us another angle to his versatility. All I knew was, I wanted to see the movie myself before someone starts narrating it for me and yes, I sure did. I felt in love with the combination of both art and science. Art in the aspect of creativity. How Jade Osiberu was able to explore the life and death of the Apala music maest...
