Time to grow(go)

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 having money for subscription but as soon as I entered the Safricom office in town, I paid for subscription.  I disliked the sound and blinks; I just had to edit my profile.  I took care of it like a baby, I remembered how I lost my TOCCO and I made a promise never to let go of this in the same way. Severally, I have been mocked about it, sometimes I don't bring it out at events since I can't use it to take pictures. From black to white to white, I remember the last time I took it for refurbishment, the technician said I should just let go.  "It makes you look like a broke *ss" he said. . It’s very reliable. Yes, I decided to let go, it has served me for more than 3years. Guess it was time, it took a bow


As most of you know, I want to get a 10 however something in my head is telling me to hold on soI decided to "obtain" an interim one, which I am positive it will still be mocked however  I will use till I make up my mind on which 10 to go for. I am already missing "my be the beat", class of 2010 BB.

Next second is not promised, Paradise or Hell ?? which will it be? Are your good deeds more than you bad deeds? God is certainly watching us. Reflect on this...

Till next time, make someone smile.

Extra Mile

One Friday afternoon, while waiting for my brother to get off work, I decided to have a late lunch at the Fast-food restaurant opposite his office.  After waiting for an hour (I can’t complain, they allowed me to drive his car for weeks), I was on my way to the ladies when I noticed a young couple exercising with their lips, they were passionately engaged that they did not notice passersby and onlookers like me. 30minutes later, the love birds left the restaurant, the girl got into a cab for which the guy brought out his wallet and paid for. Barely 5 minutes later, he waved down a bike and zoomed away. I left the restaurant shortly after this, on getting to the bus-stop at the end of the long street; I saw him trekking then he got into a public bus known as Danfo.   This event brought back memories, memories of my secondary school days when a boy will buy 1 Pie and 1 Yogurt for a girl then buy himself 1 Puff-Puff 1 Zobo. Can you remember any story of where you ha...

A bold step?

Today’s marriages sometimes seem like for better for stay, for worse for go, till sex, cash and battering do you apart. Every 7days, you are constantly reminded that your relationship status is unmarried. Another weekend is around the corner; don’t get overwhelmed with the HML updates. Sometimes, I feel like I am the only unmarried person around. Asake, when are you getting married? Is there a new Bobo? Asake, why are you hiding him? Asake, you better lower that your standards. The pressure to settle down has been immense and trust mother to keep including it in her prayer points. “I want to settle down after University” Lucy told her boyfriend but he asked her to give him 5years when he would have raised enough money for their wedding ceremony and for starting a family. His target is $70,000 but he currently earns approximately $1000 per month in Nigerian Naira. Haba how persin go dey plan for $70,000 wedding when e no fit even afford car. “Asake, I love this girl, she i...

BILQEES

My name is Bilqees, that is the spelling on my birth certificate which was issued 11 days after my birth in the late 80s.  According to Islamic history, it is the name of the Queen of Sheba.  Blessed with different spelling variations, one of the first things my mother told me about my name was if an official document issued to you  is not spelt - B-I-L-Q-E-E-S then that document doesn’t belong to you. Well, I almost got kicked out of primary school because the accountant spelt my name wrongly on the school fees payment receipt and I refused to collect it.  Aunty Maggie, the accountant insisted on not writing me a new one, so I left her office. Some weeks later, I was not allowed on the school premises because I was not with the receipt.  I tried to explain but I was sent home, I am not sure AbdulGaniu (my older brother) realized I was not allowed into the school premises. I went back home and my Grandma (May Allah grant her Al...
