LollyciousTalks

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 de...

  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 ...

Yaaaaaaay, it's my first blogversary and although I should be excited, I'm having a mixed feeling. Well, I guess you all have been fine? I am though but really busy with preparations of some kind which I would gist you about later😜 Hmmmm, this whole year hasn't really been smooth if you'll likely agree. Down the memory lane, LollyciousTalks started as a practical of one of our virtual ICT classes during the pandemic. The lecturer had created a WhatsApp group and had told us previously in class before the break that we would be creating a blog. When it was time, the instructor (whom was a Computer Science student in my school and we became friends afterwards) taught us the steps and asked us to go ahead and do ours. Firstly, I was reluctant because I was not active when the class was going on which made me just mark notifications from the group chat read. I could remember a few of my friends had called that they didn't understand the process too (since it was indivi...

 It's close to 45days of being at home and we have not resumed yet o. I just said I should inform you all sha so you'll feel my pain and help ring the bell to these people's ears. I've been helping my sister sew some fabrics but I'm having backache and I've decided to rest my back for a while.  One thing that keeps coming to my mind is a post I had seen on social media where a lady I had presumed to be a devout sister was saying she can't date a cleric. Well, I won't want to sound prejudiced cos of course I'm not but I'm sure some of us would have seen related posts or even said it ourselves. This lady in question is used to updating religious posts, reminding people of the time to pray and regularly quoting passages of the holy book. All these I think gave the impression that she would make a religious wife fit for a cleric which made a quite number of them approached her. Now, she said openly that she can't be in a relationship with any not...

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...
