The first time I came across the word ''sapiosexual'' was when I was reading a book about two years ago. You know what it means right? Sapiosexual means to be sexually attracted to intellectual or mental qualities, rather than to the physical body. Most times, we all crosscheck physical attributes before we consider someone's proposal.  We set qualifications within our hearts, most ladies say ''I want a tall handsome man with beards, six packs, dark or chocolate skin'' Some men say '' I want a lady with a  hourglass shape, beautiful, fair skin complexion, nice dentition and a moderate height.'' It's all good. But what happens when you meet someone with the aforementioned attributes, you ignited a conversation and you started hearing ''My names is Cynthia, they calling me CT babies, I enjoying eating spagerri and shicken'' Oh mine!😲 Did you hear that? Well, nobody would love to date a monkey. No matter how little,

About this time last year, I was on a tour to Adó Àwáyè, not really as an intentional tourist but as a reporter. Ever heard of Adó Àwáyè? Well, it would so please my heart to tell you one or two things about this particular place. Adó Àwáyè is a town closest to Iseyin in the Òkè Ògùn area of Oyo state. It homes one of the two suspended lakes in the whole world. The town was founded by Obakoyi of the Oyo empire in 1500 who settled at Adó Àwáyè on his way to Òtà. Obakoye was to be the Alaafin of Òyó but Onigbogi his brother ascended the throne. He angrily left Oyo with one of his father’s crowns. However, he went through plain grounds until he got foot of the Ado Hill, where he saw a smoke. He climbed the mountain and there, he met some escapees from the Dahomey war. Having agreed and discussed with them, they decided to make him King of Ado.  Adúró s'íbí (we stay here) became Adó, Àwáyè (we are safe) to form Ado Awaye. On the Adó Àwáyè hill is found three suspended lakes but the mos

They knew we know the truth but they still tell us the truth we know is a lie. Who are they? Nigerian government apparently. CNN released video of what transpired at the Lekki tollgate on October 20, 2020 and it was denied by our able Minister of Information, Mr Lai. I'll say well done sir! It was denied ahbi, the denial of the masaccre should have followed a video of what they called the truth about the incidence. I was expecting a shocking revelation of protesters at the toll gate who were just singing national anthem and waving the flag all through but I couldn't find it. I was expecting a total denial of DJ switch's Instagram live video that it was probably at a movie location or thereabout. I was expecting the federal government to say those visited at the hospital by the Lagos state governor, Babajide Sanwoolu were victim of landslide and not the Lekki tollgate shootings. Yea, maybe I should add this too. I was also expecting them to say the officers of the Nigerian A

  ''Maybe it would have  been better if students go and learn skills.'' ''The schools should rather be closed for two to five years in order to resuscitate the education sector'' Well, these and many more are the statements that have been pissing me off since the beginning of the dialogue between ASUU and the Federal Government. Gradually, 2020 is almost over and students in Nigeria universities are yet to know their resumption fate. I could remember vividly that the strike was ongoing before the lockdown was declared. It's a pity a course of study with 4 years duration turns out to be 5 or even 6 years. How did we get here? A student would actually be happy when he or she is offered a provisional admission and start calculating how many years to go but like the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria would say ''I was shocked'' the calculated duration gets longer and longer.  Nigeria educational system is actually wrecking every

Will #sex_for_grades scandal ever stop? Are we really going to have repentant lecturers? How best do we handle lecturer-student relationship without obsession? Ok, so I watched CITATION the movie and yea it's absolutely relatable. Note, this isn't a review. To start with, I would like to commend the hardwork and ingenuity of the veteran movie producer Kunle Afolayan.  The characterization is amazing and altogether the production is perfect. With casts like Temi Otedola starring as Moremi Oluwa and Ibukun Awosika who made their applaudable debut appearances, actors like Joke Silver, Gabriel Afolayan, Jimmy Jean-Louis, Adjetey Anang, Sadiq Daba and others on the list too made it a grand success. The African heritage portrayed in the movie include the language, afro wears, artifacts and tourism.  As a lover of language that I am, I was happy to hear fluent Yoruba, English and French language at the same time. I love the exploration within Nigeria, Senegal and Cape Verde. I won'

  I was sitting on the bed in my room staring at the note of the exam paper I have the next day.  Loud thoughts, do we need exams? Are they true test of knowledge? Our answers might contradict but nonetheless, we still need to be tested. Like I was saying o. Well, my room is a typical example of some student's room without a chair and a reading desk. Obviously, when you come visiting, you'll be sitting on my bed if you don't mind. Lol It wasn't a course I really fancied so the note was kinda boring but you know I had to read it anyway. Getting good grades can be sweet o, chai! I was reading a line about a million times, yawning continuously, changing positions and at the end of it, I found myself lying flat. Sleep? Yea, I actually slept off while reading sha.  You obviously can relate right?  Maybe this can somewhat be targeted at students because I'm in that shoes at the moment too. Enjoy my tips😋 When you notice you're about dozing off while reading, walk aro

At a sensitive time such as this, some people are so much concerned with tribal conspiracy theory instead of fighting as Nigerians with one voice. The bad governance we are speaking against today does not only affect the Southerners, it's to every Nigerian home or away. It may not bother you as it does to me how we get to recycle the same people in governance. They come disguised as saviours on a different political platform whereas it's no different from the other and then we approve of them thinking they'll do better. Wow! See them shocking us one by one. Nigeria is sixty years old for crying out loud and yea, we should enjoy good lives as Nigerians. How annoying it is when I meet staunch followers of a particular leader and their level of reasoning still shows how blindfolded they are to see the obvious flaws. Like how can one out of hundred person keep saying that one leader is doing well when it's otherwise? Mehnnnn You mean to say the remaining ninety nine are sen
