I figured what’s worth doing at all is worth doing well. This is really scary, it is a transition that scares me because I’ve been giving myself reasons not to plunge into it. it means you are in a committed relationship with your blog. No more excuses – this is it. If I want to take this seriously, I have to just…

THOSE OLD BULLIES THAT WE SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH

THOSE OLD BULLIES THAT WE SPEND CHRISTMAS WITH

Every Nigerian understands the giddiness surrounding Christmas season. (and I’m not talking about Baby Jesus and the three wise men) #GBAM I really do not need to explain further but for the non-Nigerians reading this, get ready to be educated.

I do not know if kids these days still fancy Christmas day but for the late 90s kids, Christmas day was our day to show off our really cool ‘’baba sala’’…

CHIMAMANDA'S WORDS WILL ALWAYS MAKE HEADLINES BUT NOT IN THE GOOD WAY

CHIMAMANDA’S WORDS WILL ALWAYS MAKE HEADLINES BUT NOT IN THE GOOD WAY

There was no way I was going to pass up the opportunity to write about Chimamanda, especially when it’s not about her books.

As soon as I saw her trending on twitter yesterday, I already knew something was up again. If you’d remember it was just a month ago when she was criticized for asking Hillary Clinton why her twitter bio begins with wife and a husband did not begin with husband. It was a…

"DELUSIONS OF MASCULINITY IN NIGERIA"

“DELUSIONS OF MASCULINITY IN NIGERIA”

In this interesting article written by my guest writer Boluwatife Afolabi, He takes on the foul misconceptions of masculinity amongst Nigerians.

The most interesting feature of masculinity is how at the very mention of the word, an image slowly begins to form in the mind’s eye depending on the social consciousness and awareness of the individual in question. One comes to the realization that the…

“4 YOUR EYES ONLY” I have on my desk a book about the history of West Africa. I want to read it, to exclude myself from the generation of people who know little about who they are.

BROWN HUNKY DUDE  I wonder if it is true that two people are made for each other just as the stars are made for the nights.

LOBA

We often observe patterns of enthusiasm in people, the way they respond to our raw ideas, whether or not they support our creativity and most importantly how passionate they are about their own creativity.

I was waiting in school with Yemi exchanging silly banters whilst waiting for the twins and Loba to show up.  We had agreed to meet in school prior to the release of the first PEOPLE PROJECT. I…

HOW DID YOU SURVIVE YOUR INTERNSHIP YEAR?

I am incredibly excited!

I have been jumping up, making random videos and planning my schedules for the next three months. The thing is I have waited for a long time for the moment – this moment to get a taste of a world outside of the university walls and now it is finally here. I will be doing my internship at Ibadan which means I will be leaving Osogbo for a while. I have always had a deep bond…

NIGERIAN PARENTS AND "THE SEX TALK"

NIGERIAN PARENTS AND “THE SEX TALK”

And by “the talk”, I mean “the sex and intimacy talk”…

Okay, pause. Are you about 22?

Good, because this is for you. If you are below 18, move along kid. This ain’t your scene.

This will not be a long post though because for once I have no clue what to say. So I am bringing it forward as a question to you. 

Have you had the talk with your parents? Do you know what the talk is? ‘’The talk’’ is…

BALIQUIS – A FEATURE STORY 

On her interest in changing the status quo, her religion and her passion for creating a Talk show…

Our world is all about announcement; we announce the birth of a child, we announce the child’s birthday outfit, the child’s university convocation…

There really is not anything done in this world that does not require announcement. I think that is why bloggers and news outlets make it so big because…

WOMEN AND CUNNILINGUS.

Why women should stop waiting to be “saved”.

I know, I know… the audacity. Who writes about sexual pleasures that are only meant to satisfy women online? You can only write about sexual stuffs when they are to please men or an impending relationship/marriage. That is why fellatios are the norms and most likely to be received than cunnilingus.

Oh… by the way you should know this is a platform…

MEN AND WEED 

“Men on drugs still need love”

  The stereotypical rants and profiling

This post is in no way trying to profile a gender to a specific habit. I just find it fascinating that our pop culture has characterized recreational drugs to the male gender. So indulge me for a minute (or for how long it will take you to read this post).

My initial plan was to ask questions online and do a bit of research on…

LOSS OF INNOCENCE 

A true tale on sexual manipulation and why women must know when sex and money isn’t worth an emotional scar.

 I AM ANGRY.

Words only fail me when I feel these emotions – joy and rage. I do not know if you feel this way too, but this is me. I want to tell you about a story – a loss of innocence. It is not fiction though, it is real. It is about an issue that has been around for quite a long time…

BIZZ – A FEATURE STORY 

THIS IS BIZZ  

He is Nigerian, a musician.

Bizz sings about love – the two sides of love – and every other little thing our generation relates to.

A magical night happened at Under G on a chilly night at a cozy spot called ‘’Purple and Vanilla’’; where blue-pink chandeliers are hung low on the ceilings to give the ambience of a salient vibe. Such that it made black girls and dudes look blue at…

IF I AM NOT A WRITER, WHAT WOULD I BE?

This was inspired by a two minutes conversation with a friend about our future. We both share similar views about chasing our dreams. However, we found ourselves talking about an alternative. It’s funny really because all I see myself as a writer, but who am I kidding? I am allowed to learn more skills, I’m human. I’ve got a brain and I can learn.

“What else would you be if you’re not a writer?”…
