Kò tò gbá

I have included Swahili in most of my post. I decided to title this post in my native language. Ko to gba means before acceptance.   This post should have preceded Tuende Ngoja however inspiration comes at different times. If you recently left a relationship or you are about to start a new relationship. This might or might not come in handy. *Feel free to scroll through* Some say opposite attract, I will say a perfect balance should attract. Your partner should never be too different from you. Balance = compatibility. Balance here should be defined as the ability to withstand some certain behaviours which your partner "posses” and are not similar to your behaviour. How will you know? It’s an old way. Investigation. I have always wondered why Muslims in the time of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) were able to marry within a short period. The Why- because of no fornication, you can't be around an opposite sex without a chaperon and early marriage is encouraged.   A high p

Monday Morning Madness

Usually, when I am working at our head office, I leave home at 6.45am. However since it is a Monday, I decided to leave at 6.30am. Usually, I will stand at my junction for about 10minutes then I will get a bus however after standing for 17minutes; I decided leave for the bus stop. I waited another 15minutes and didn't get a bus. Why are all the buses full and where are all the cabs?  I decided to return to my junction then called the best person ever, my mom. Why didn't you enter any bus she asked, I explained to her what had happened and she advised I take a bike forward. Then I took a Marwa forward but still no space in buses, Marwa or cabs. I spoke to my mom again, her advice, keep moving forward, just trek... I walked to a taxi park then got a cab 2hours after leaving home. My usual 1hr: 15mins Monday morning journey became 2hrs:30mins with 571% increase in usual transport fare.  That's my Monday Morning Madness...                                             Have a

It’s abit emotional. It feels like an achievement, I had just informed them about my graduating GPA when they promised to send me a token. Honestly,  I was expecting cash but when my elder sister started taking about serial number and battery. I knew it was an electronic device. When Eniola informed me of her arrival, I was very excited about my graduation weave(cover face) the very first time I wore that weave everyone love it so I made a decision I was going to wear it for graduation (guess I won't be needing a weave for my next graduation). My elder sister searched the whole of Lagos and I got mad each time she suggested a different one. I must have gone either Marvey or Chiaka to Eniola's apartment.. When I opened the parcel, I was blown away and it wasn't the weave but the token. Safricom was selling it for about 28k then while Orange sold it for 27k. I remember Ini hugging me in the cafeteria when she saw mine and requested for my pin.  I was complaining of not havin
