10 THINGS I LEARNED FROM READING GENTLEWOMAN

Image
GENTLEWOMAN  is an awesome book written by Enitan Bereola. I believe that every female should read this book and males too. Here are few things i learned from reading the book 1. Overly caring what everyone thinks is the perfect way to live a meaningless life, but lets face it, not caring for yourself and others isn't living at all. 2. Society cannot function without the presence of a lady. First and foremost children come into the world from a lady. 3. When you chase a man, he is running from you. 4. Do not offer the least and expect the most 5. Class cant be purchased, people should be able to tell what you stand for by the way you carry yourself, not the purse you carry. 6. Pretty might open doors but intellect lets you in don't be stuck outside with your pretty ass. 7. Don't take everything personal, sometimes people's problems with you is really their problem with themselves. 8. Don't correct a stranger who mispronounces a word, instead use the w...

FOOL FOR LOVE: £50000 ON 99 IPHONE 6S TO PROPOSE TO GIRL FRIEND

Image
Wonders shall never end. I have seen all sorts of foolishness but nothing greater than what i read today on The Telegraph UK. A man spent fifty thousand pounds, about 17 years salary for an average worker, to buy about 99 Iphone 6S  to propose to his girlfriend, and she said NO. Sounds like he got 99 problems and she wont be WON. Dang, that's really cold, truthfully . I don't blame her for rejecting the proposal. 1. How many  phone calls does she want to make with 99 Iphone 6 S? 2.  Why didnt he buy her a ring? Were all 99 phones supposed to ring? 3. After spending fifty thousand pounds on useless gadgets what will their wedding fund be like? 4. After the wedding what will the marriage be built with? Iphones? Please if he didnt have anything better to do with his money, he could have just given it to charity, Not all women are after material possessions especially 99 Iphones. With his dumb mind he could have bought her a car. I need to figure out this individ...

ROAD TRIP TO TEXAS

Image
So, last month I took one of those once in a while road trips, I drove to the south from California, it was a 27hr drive to Texas. I had friends to see, actually old classmates and it was fun to see them again. Also my cousin who had just recently moved to Houston. So the route was Tracy The rental car Ford Focus . Los Angeles Financial District night view Cactus in Arizona The border between New Mexico and El Paso Texas In Houston on the way to Sugarland. Still in Houston looking out of the window from the passenger's side. Backroad going to Richmond Texas, looks like those roads on the expressway in Nigerian movies. Wazobia, my lifesaver, about 40mins from the house but i shopped here like i had not seen Naija food in ages. ST Louis Sugar, business partner with garri since long time ago. It actually costs more than regular sugar in the grocery store. El Paso Texas, where the freeway has this co...

Baby's Age

Image
I grew up in the time when a child's age was calculated in years. I moved to the United States in my late teens and realized that it was calculated in months until it sounded too much, anything past 24 months is already a pet peeve for me. Why cant you simply say the child is 2? Some say "my daughter is 29 months" i really don't have time to count. Maybe i should tell you my age in months, about 360 months, does that sound appropriate, will your math immediately kick in or would i have to hand you a calculator?I guess i would just look stupid saying so, A lady brought her cute little son to my job,he related well with me and was very observant, i asked  ME:How old is he? WOMAN: He is 17 months There was an awkward silence as i tried to do the mental math in my grey cells which are no longer math accurate, (after college my math skills only applied to counting money) ME: A year and five months. WOMAN: Is that 17 months? I gave her the look, the one tha...

SHOULD YOU WEAR WHITE AFTER LABOR DAY ?

Image
If you are not a virgin please don't wear white after Labor Day. I live in an area where the weather can be erratic, The winter starts in December, it rains up till April, summer starts in early May, with this in place how does wearing white after Labor Day affect humanity. It does because two years ago i was about to head out to a night out event in white Capri shorts and my friend said "No white after Labor day hon". How does the rule apply and who started it. Fashion has changed!!! No it hasnt. In all sense of reasoning, wearing white keeps you cooler when it is hot. In most Middle Eastern countries, they mostly wear white to keep them cool, most walls in the house are painted white to keep the house call, it reflects the heat looking at it as Physics student. How does this apply to fashion? Labor Day officially became a federal holiday in 1894. It marked the beginning of the fall season and most people began to change their wardrobes then to darker colored ...

Throwback Thursday:Facebook

Image
I love Facebook and also hate it at the same time for certain reasons. I love it because it helps me keep in touch and stay in touch with people.  People share pictures and events on Facebook, it also helps business grow but one thing I hate about Facebook is some posts that make one cringe.  I don't care if you are in the bathroom. If you are smoking weed, if you just stole an Xbox or if you don't like your new boyfriend.Please don't put it on Facebook.  Everyone wants to be noticed on Facebook, they come up with the craziest statuses to get likes ,a pity party or irrelevant opinions, It is a social media not a lament media.  If you have less thoughts about anything create a journal or phone your friends, it doesn't have to be a Facebook status where people begin to patronize your feelings and ask what's wrong, I can't stand when people put their problems on Facebook, your old classmate or your geography teacher doesn't need to know about your p...

3THINGS I LEARNED FROM SIMI OSOMO'S WEDDING

Image
Simi Osomo grew up into a well socially doctored young lady. She kept up her class and was well married off both culturally and financially. I loved Tiwa Savage's Dubai wedding but so far in 2014 she has had the best Nigerian celebrity wedding and it happened in Lagos. Here are ten things i learned from her wedding. 1. QUALITY over QUANTITY . I am sorry, you may know the whole of Lagos but the wedding should be simple and intimate inviting only people who matter to you and whose presence you greatly cherish.   2. YOU DON'T HAVE TO WEAR TRASH I have seen beautiful looking gowns revealing or showing off too much cleavage or pounds of breast fat, she wore a simple and church ready outfit on all levels, all her outfits were not revealing, they were simple and classy and the makeup was kept at the bare minimum, a bride glows on her wedding day, the attention is always going to be on her, the makeup is just an enhancer. 3. UNIQUENESS Everything at the wedding was...

EBOLA

2014 has had its share of ups and downs in Nigeria from the Boko Haram bombings, to the Chibok missing girls and now another death angel the EBOLA virus. While we all talk about the EBOLA as being deadly, it is good to have knowledge of the virus. I was a Biology major in college and this was the least favorite topic because being an African student in a 99% white class, EBOLA might be written on your face as the teacher speaks and other students will sit there and wonder if a member of your family was recently infected with EBOLA. (God Forbid). I picked up my virology notebook from 2010 and revised what i had written,the RNA drawings which now don't make sense to me, the only thing that stuck to me was that it originated from Congo, I am NOT from CONGO,so i went online to look get an update. Ebola virus is a disease that attacks humans. It is caused by about four viruses Bundibuygo virus Ebola Virus Sudan Virus Tai Forest Virus The Ebola virus disease occurs when th...

Book review: Bewaji's Ankara Adventures

Image
I came across this really interesting book on Okadabooks.com. I have heard a lot of Abimbola Salu from one of my ex QC classmates but it was just another name to me until i stumbled upon this book.When i first downloaded it, i thought it was going to be about a whole bunch of girls planning a wedding with the aso ebi drama and a crazy bridezilla but it was none of that. It is a simple story about a girl who had to do some detective work for her friend who lived in America. He suspected that his friend was being scammed through online romance and he had to make the lady believe it with sufficient proof, this was where Bewaji was needed. It was coincidental that she was able to find answers to the questions through a visit to the tailor to make her ankara. I don't want to spoil this book for you but the Lagos setting and familiar tone will make you love to read this book, It is an easy read, a quic...

Congrats to Germany on winning the game though especially winning Brazil in their own country and trust humans to come up with the craziest memes .
