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
