The Eclectic Traveller turned 8 today!

Can’t believe this page is 8 today. I should come back to Tumblr

Never seen a cuter baby.

Happy 91st to Malcolm X “Nobody can give you freedom, nobody can give you equality or justice or anything, If you are a man, you take it.” – Malcolm X (el-Hajj Malik el-Shabazz). If you know anything about me, you’d know that a lot of my ideologies and are heavily influenced by greats like Madiba, Malcolm X and Thomas Sankara. Today Malcolm X would have been 91 years old, here are some of his greatest quotes: - You cannot separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has freedom - Without education, you are going nowhere in this world. - A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything. - Don’t be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn’t do what you do or think as fast. There was a time you didn’t know what you know today. - Stumbling is NOT falling. - They put your mind in a bag and take it wherever they want. - A race of people is like an individual man; until it uses its own talent, takes pride in its own history, expresses its own culture, affirms its own self hood, it can never fulfill itself. - I believe that there will ultimately be a clash between the oppressed and those oppressing. I believe that there will be a clash between those who want freedom, justice and equality for everyone and those who want to continue the system of exploitation. - Without education, you are not going anywhere in this world. - You don’t have to be a man to fight for freedom, all you have to do is be an intelligent human being. - It is a time for martyrs now, and if I am to be one, it will be for the cause of brotherhood. That’s the only thing that can save this country. (2 Days before he was murdered). I hope you are inspired more by his positive qualities. Happy 91st to this great man!

THE WEB- part 2 She hated elevators, they were always so cramped. Every time she was in one she distracted herself by focusing on her phone. She smelled his perfume before she saw him, it was so strong and masculine, some kind of outdoor thing about it. She wasn’t going to look up because a person with a nice scent had entered the elevator but she could feel his eyes on her. Finally, she looked up and there he was in his 6”4 glory, but she was disappointed- he was barely an adult. Giggling, she realized how many thoughts had crossed her mind in few seconds. He took that as a cue and introduced himself. His name was Segun and he was there for an interview, she smiled and introduced herself whilst thinking in her head “I am not your mate”. She gave him her card as she got to her floor and wished him the best in his interview. It was noon and Bimpe prepared to go out for lunch, she was meeting Silas, she didn’t care much for him but he was a newly divorced man who had amazing and intelligent conversations with her, that was hard to find in this day and age. Her P.A called to tell her she had a visitor, she looked through her schedule and was so sure there was no other appointment, she asked who it was, and it was Segun, the child from this morning. “Sigh, let him in.” Well, that was the beginning of this whirlwind romance that had turned her into a teenager again. She was 37 and in love with a 24 year old who probably had a 21 year old girlfriend, this was a stupid battle. She decided she was done for real this time. **** Segun gave her a couple of days to calm down, then he sent her flowers and perfumes everyday for the next week. It cost him most of his allowance but he wanted his woman back and was willing to move out of home just to be with her. She finally gave in and took his calls, he planned a dinner date and told her about it. She was excited about being on a date with him. What he didn’t tell her was that his parents were going to be there, he wanted them to meet the love of his life. Bimpe spent all of Friday looking at her watch, she had missed Segun and she really didn’t care about this date, she just wanted to spend sometime with him. As she walked into Casper and Gambini's, she saw someone she had been avoiding for 12 years, Chief Badmus, he was seated with someone she assumed was his wife and another person. She turned her back to them and called Segun, if he wasn’t here yet, that would be a good excuse to change the location. He picked up and told her to look around, he was there seated on a table with his parents. His parents?! His Parents?! His Parents?! Chief Badmus was his father. She ran out of the restaurant and just kept driving. It made no sense, her son’s father was her boyfriend’s father. *** Darkeness***

Pamper yourself.

THE WEB - PART 1

“I can’t believe we just did that. Shegs, I am too old for this! Oh gosh!”

“You weren’t too old when you were moaning “faster” though.”

“You are now proud oh, let’s dress up and get out of here, I am almost certain no one fucks in an airport bathroom. ”

“This is the boarding announcement for Agege Air, Flight 123 to Abuja. First Boarding Call.”

“Shit! Shit! Shit! We have to go.”

Bimpe looked amazing for someone approaching forty, she didn’t even feel old at all. Her job made her travel a lot, being a director at one of the biggest banks in Lagos left her with no time for the gym but she made sure she ate healthy and visited her doctor monthly.

She was looking forward to tonight even if it meant she had to stay up to finish the presentation for the board, it was due tomorrow. Bimpe eased her car into its place beside her 4 other cars… she was blessed. As soon as she got in she called her mum and spoke to her son, Shola, he was in high spirits even if he missed her so much. Not to worry, she was due for another trip to the U.K in about 2 weeks.

She took out the wine from the fridge and rolled a blunt, she decided to smoke it later, when he arrived. He was running late as usual and she went on to finish the presentation. It was midnight when she decided to turn off the light and go to bed disappointed when she got the text, “I am at your door”. She was ready to shout at him and break up with him for his behavior.

Bimpe opened the door with a pout, and he pushed her back into the house and started kissing her hungrily, she could smell his shampoo, he had just had a bath. She tried to talk, to shout at him but before she knew it, her legs were hanging up and his mouth was busy with her clit. “ Shegs, Shegs, Stop! Don’t Stop! Fuck! Fuck!” She cried. It wasn’t long before he slid into her, they could both feel the pressure with each movement, he moaned, she screamed, her legs were shaking as she held on to the dining table that they had made their bed for the moment.

She arched her back and he couldn’t hold back any more. By the third round, they were both spent. “That’s how you apologize for being late to a date. Baby, for real, there was so much traffic, this Lagos traffic na die, I am sorry” Shegs said. It was hard to stay mad at him with what he had just put her body through.

They cuddled and tried to sleep, Shegs phone rang, it was his “mother”, he had to go home. At 3 a.m he walked out of her house without looking back.

After Shegs left, Bimpe couldn’t sleep, she was a 37 year old woman, she had no business being love sick over a mama’s boy. This was a bad situation she was going to fix.

She picked up her phone and sent him a text “Shegs, it’s over.”
