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...

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...

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...

Like I said in my previous post, a lot has happened while I was away which I've planned updating you. So, it won't be as though I am stingy, I'm presently taking watermelon as I type this and it won't be bad if you have a bite of the fruit too. Lol I had the intention of eating banana because of what I had felt in my throat but since I couldn't get it, I opted for watermelon sha to help push the dryness I'm feeling in my oesophagus away. Ehhhhhm, I've not been reading books as I ought to these days, it's been looking as if the 24hours a day is not enough even though I sleep for like 6hours. But the thing is, I decided to act out some of the books I've read in the past. Among which were: Smart Money Woman, Richest Man in Babylon and Rich Dad Poor Dad. I'm sure you would know for sure these three books are majorly about finances (if only you have read them though). The most constant sentence in those books was keeping a part of one's earnings b...

  Ever had a reason to make a false impression? Don't say NO WAY. We all do, it could have been in the past though. This false impression I'm talking about is the way we pretend to be something else to achieve an aim. Maybe I should start with this, those times we were young (even till now) when we notice our parents or an elderly person wants to send us on an errand at a time not convenient for us, we may pretend we've slept off and not answer. You did that, I caught you😜 Lol. Do you know what brought about this? I was in the kitchen planning to prepare ewedu for lunch and I remembered one of my friends was on call and had formed for the guy at the other end that she doesn't eat ewedu including other swallow food. Adunni why???  She had told me she doesn't want the guy to think locally of her. That was even another issue entirely, it was low self esteem and a willingness to pretend. Shikena! There are various reasons why people make false impressions but are they ...

This is the umpteenth time I'll be listening to Taking care by Moses Bliss and yea I know God has been taking care of me, and even you too. Ehmmmmm, we started the year together with some people but some couldn't even make it into the second quarter. Nagode Yesu, Daalu Chineke, Ese Oluwa, Thank you Lord, merci beaucoup Baba God. Also, I felicitate with Christians around the world this Easter season, that biggest sacrifice ever. I pray we'll live to celebrate more. Recently, one of big girl moves I'm making is quitting to board commercial buses. Lol. I would rather take bike or taxi and if the worst comes to the worst, I would take keke. The buses look too clumsy and it's kind of belittling the big girl that I am. (I want to be sure you're not mocking me sha😜) The last time I had a terrible experience  boarding a bus, I was sitting at the middle row with a nursing mother beside me. The baby should be in her first year or so because she had grown the first set of...

Here's the last week in March which is a year after the pandemic lockdown.  I could remember how the whole thing started in Nigeria through an Italian man in February and the cases gradually increased till we were all shut in nationwide. School, businesses, worship places, relaxation centres, everywhere you can think of. This years March ending, we all can move freely, trusting God to restore our losses and take away this plague completely from our land. Have you taken the vaccine already? I've not either, a bit scared though. lol Oya come here o. So, there was a post I put up on my WhatsApp status about two weeks ago sha about making sure an information is understood before reacting to it. As a mass communication student, I know the importance of a receiver getting a message the same way it was intended by the sender of such message. If a message is not accurately decoded, it's a barrier that could pose a great challenge to those involved in that communication chain. I nar...

 Like play like play, my school and other tertiary institutions in the state have been on four weeks strike already and our able governor hasn't yet said anything. Me that I was already counting down to my signing out day and when I will start wearing NYSC khaki, now I've got to extend it indefinitely. It is well sha. Well, the strike hasn't necessarily made me jobless but I've watched three Korean seasonal movies within a week. The last time I enjoyed watching films at a stretch was in secondary school through admission seeking days, the likes of Boys before flower, Jumong and so much more. I started calling myself Reporter Lee. Lol Among the ones I watched this past week was one traditional Korean film. I do not know if you're a fan of Korean films but traditional film revolves round the king, the crown prince, the two factions that influence the King's decree (Chiefs), the noble families and the low class citizens.  The friend of the King whom is one of the C...

 Just so you might be reminded that the month of March has divided into two making the first quarter of 2021 due in some days time. Oya tell me, how have you been doing? And I hope Nigeria hasn't shown you pepper like it has to me? Lol. Deep inside me, I just wish I could cast a spell but God will help us. Something has really got me bothered for some while now which I want to share with you.  First of all, I would like to appeal to you that if you have a very hot temper or maybe you just would not be able to take trolls, stay away from the bird app when you finally turn a celebrity. You see there are many people on social media preaching about mental health, how one should be mindful of what one tweets or posts so as not to get someone else depressed in one form or the other but they are still the ones guilty of trolling others. I've seen alot on celebrities fanbase and troll. These fans dey always para sha. Maybe naturally some people no get joy. Forgive me o. It might sound...

 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. ...

We all get happy when we hear our share is bigger than someone else's. Naturally as humans, we would always want more just like Oliver Twist. Shall I say we even hate to share things equally among others? We are most likely to negotiate with others to make them see reasons why we should have more of the normal share. Just like two people sharing the sum of #10,000, one may have to remind the other that he's older, whether he knows the person that gave them the money or maybe he worked more. So, I was eating pounded yam and egusi this afternoon (Well, I'm not willing to entertain any question about how I got the meal package sha). The meat was big and looks too gluttonous to be consumed but deep down I kind of like the fact that the meat was big. Most times, we want big things. Getting big pay, big contracts, big meats, big apartments even some guys like ''big and bang-bodied ladies.'' But wait, with all this big big stuff, what if someone gifted you a dress ...
