The Game of Blows



Hmm!  I saw this video on instagram of people fighting in the House of Rep abi na House of Senate, I'm not so sure of the particular one, all I know is that there was a fight and the characters in this game of blows are men old enough to be my dad at least, men that are supposed to be examples, men that were put there to protect and fight for a  better life for us.

I don't know what led to the fight sha but I was wondering if they use this same strength to fight for our rights as citizens and people under their care, if they can raise chairs to strike anyone that embezzles the money kept for the reconstruction of our roads and gutters to prevent cases of flood, if they throw blows at people that are behind the reason why Nigeria can't enjoy stable electricity, if they push anyone that tries to stop our students from going to school hence the ASUU strike Isorait!

Sometimes the things we do, do not matter as much as how we do them. See as I see them dy fight, the first thing wy enter my head na the kind shame they dy rub on us. I no wan know wetin cause am or other details because I feel no matter what, there are other ways to resolve an issue other than fighting like this, when e reach time to fight for us, you no go see them, if na money matter now all of them go dy fight like the night walkers. I'm sure that I'm not the only one who doesn't know the reason behind the fight but is just disgusted by it, and to think that this isn't the first or second time. Very soon our speakers in the house would be elected based on his experience as a wrestler.

Back Then When....

Ok, so I'm gisting with my roommate and we are discussing the silly things we did as teenagers.  Remember when you were busy making midnight calls to one boy that year, when you were sneaking around at night like a rat looking for a comfortable place for the call. I particularly remember how many times my mum seized my phone just because the noise from my laugher at night was so loud. If I tell you say I still remember the name of the boy I was talking to then, you know say I dey lie. That time you would willingly volunteer to fetch water so that you can have the time to meet your secret boyfriend and chat a little. If he buys something for you, you would also sneak into the house and then share it with your favorite sibling because if you give others they might tell on you. I remember how many times the food I was cooking got burnt simply because I was on 2go and my papa no dey hear that kind talk o, he would always deduct the estimated price of the kerosene spent on the b...

Our Naija Brothers in "The Abroad "

A Naija brother in "the abroad" would walk up to me say he doesn't like dating Nigerian girls. In my mind, I would be like "errmm, sorry I'm not Portuguese, Russian or even Chinese 🙄" ,  he would go on to say "I don't know why I just like you, in fact you are the first Nigerian girl I've asked out since I left naija " . You won't believe the number of guys that have said this to me. I'm beginning to wonder if there is a problem with being a Nigerian girl outside Nigeria. Is there something in the air which we unconsciously take in that probably changes us that Nigerian guys living outside Nigeria don't inhale? Abi is it just because of  "green card" ? I honestly don't know why our men would come to the conclusion that Nigerian  women are totally unworthy of their love when they are not longer in their home country. The only reason they might want to even talk to you won't be far from eating Nigerian food,...

加油！！

                                            加油- pronounced as "Jia you " a Chinese word which translates as "add oil " but literally means "more grease (to your elbow) " , is a word used to give encouragement to people dealing with challenges.       Living in a world where no one really cares about how much effort you put to achieve success but are only concerned with whether or not you were able to be successful, self encouragement is inevitable. When you are the only one that sees that light at the end of the tunnel, though  it seems you aren't even sure if the light is still there because everyday brings new frustrations, heart aches and stress but you are the only one who can really believe in you especially when no one does. You are your only fan.      Some people on the other hand are lucky enough to be surrounded by those who tru...
