Ye or nay?

Hiya everyone. It has been a crazy week for me. I was ill and in the hospital, home now, still resting, recuperating and thankful to be back here. Thank y'all who kept checking up even when I did not have a post up. I appreciate you all.


So, I came across this quote today and it got me thinking. I actually do agree with what it says and I feel it is  unfair to the ones who love more in relationships. Why should the one who loves more suffer for it? Is it a crime to be in love with another? 

OK, I need to calm down, I don't even know why I am letting this annoy me so much. But if you have had a friend cry to you because they aren't getting back the love and attention they are investing in a relationship, it makes you mad. How then do you tell them to stay away and see what happens without them thinking 'this one na winch'?

Seriously though, can we just learn to appreciate those who give us all the love in them or just be bold enough to let them go if you wont go all in?
Remember, what goes around, comes around. Karma is looking for whose arse to bite. Don't let it be you. Be bold enough to do the right thing.
 
Do you agree with the quote? Ye or nay? Please share your opinions.

Benefits Of Drinking Water

 

SHARED on how I do not like to drink water and I got a few responses from people like me (side eyeing ZOE and ESTHER) who do not like to drink water also.

The thing is I have always heard and have been told by friends and even in the hospital to drink more water than I do. Well, I have decided to heed to the Dr's advice and I will begin to drink more water right after this pack of ribena. But before I start, I should at least try to find out why all the "drink more water" talk right?

So here are Top 10 Benefits of Drinking Water: Don't Medicate, Hydrate! as seen on Google.
  
1. Increases Energy & Relieves Fatigue – Since your brain is mostly water, drinking it helps you think, focus and concentrate better and be more alert. As an added bonus, your energy levels are also boosted!

2. Promotes Weight Loss – Removes by-products of fat, reduces eating intake (by filling up your tummy if consumed prior to meals), reduces hunger (hello natural appetite suppressant!), raises your metabolism and has zero calories!

3. Flushes Out Toxins – Gets rid of waste through sweat and urination which reduces the risk of kidney stones and UTI’s (urinary tract infections).

4. Improves Skin Complexion – Moisturizes your skin, keeps it fresh, soft, glowing and smooth. Gets rid of wrinkles. It’s the best anti-aging treatment around!
Did you know?
5. Maintains Regularity – Aids in digestion as water is essential to digest your food and prevents constipation.

6. Boosts Immune System – A water guzzler is less likely to get sick. And who wouldn’t rather feel healthy the majority of the time? Drinking plenty of water helps fight against flu, cancer and other ailments like heart attacks.

7. Natural Headache Remedy – Helps relieve and prevent headaches (migraines & back pains too!) which are commonly caused by dehydration.

8. Prevents Cramps & Sprains - Proper hydration helps keep joints lubricated and muscles more elastic so joint pain is less likely.
For real?
9. Puts You in a Good Mood – When the body is functioning at its best, you will feel great and be happy!

10. Save Money! -Even if you choose bottled/filtered water, it’s STILL cheaper than that high sugar and fat-filled latte!

Make it fun by adding cucumber or watermelon to your water.
You can thank me now or later but for now,

xxo

20 Random facts about me.


Hey people! How are we doing? The weekend is almost here!!! yay!
So I was tagged by FUNMI REESE and MS COOKIE to share 20 random facts     about and the first thing I thought was 20 ke? Do I know 20 random stuff about myself? Anyway, I decided to give it a try. Here we go...

 I have always had a thing for clouds. Yes, clouds. I always ask for a windowseat when ever I fly, just to stare at the clouds and fantasize. I have dreamed of touching them and holding a ball of clouds. So imagine my pain when I found out it was impossible to hold it. I still picture myself floating in clouds….some dreams never die.

   I pick out left handed people anytime, anywhere. I do not know why, let us just    say  I have a leftie radar. Hopefully, some day I will find out why.

      I love the colour green.     

       I am lactose intolerant. (TMI?)

   I do not like drinking water. I can actually go a whole day without            drinking      water. Yes, I know it is bad, I will do something about it.
         
               I hate my dentition. :( 

               I lurv me some Idris Elba.

         My grandma has 29 grandkids from 8 kids.
         
         Most people’s first impression about me is that I'm a snob. I think it is because I     do not smile a lot....thanks to the hated dentition.

         I have a headache right now….

 I       I have a love/hate relationship with my edges….not the type John Legend was           talking about, mine is with my hair. I love them, they hate me so I am almost bald         from the front. I     will like to blame that on badagry and Ghana braids.

               I like to think I am a bad arse dancer….in reality, I suck
           
         I wore glasses from primary 3 till I dumped them after my university.
       
              I had wanted to be a secretary when I grow up…..there is a story behind this          choice.
           
         I did my 2nd and 3rd ear piercings myself. Yea, I am bad arse like that.
      
         I am shit scared of lizards.
      
         I honestly didn't count so I don't know how many I have written.
      
        And with these random facts of mine, I believe I have been able to prove to you       that I am really just a boring somebody. 

         Now, I would like to tag ZOE, YOURS TRULYIMPERFECT MUSE and   all of       you reading this post. Please feel free to share at least one random fact about       yourselves with me.
         xxo

Another reminder....

Please ladies, check your breasts regularly!
Breast cancer is real.
Checking wont cost you anything.
Remember to speak up when you find any abnormalities.
A lump does not necessarily mean you have cancer, it could just be a growth that needs to be removed.
It could also be just a growth that medication could shrink and it will disappear.
Please remember to check at least once a month.

A blog visitor reached out to me and said she found a lump after reading the last REMINDER I put up here. I am glad to know that at least one person took it seriously and checked.

She has seen a Doctor and hopefully it is nothing but just a lump that will shrink with the medication she was placed on. Please, say a prayer for her.

And remember to check at least once a month.

Back to the Buj!!



Yes! I am back to the Abuja!!!
I was in Calabar to visit my aunty and take care of some bidness (you know what I mean?). I had a really great time with my little cousins, my aunt is a big big blessing to me and I am so lucky to have her in my life. 

So I was sitting in the plane, forming sleep because I didn’t want the guy beside me to disturb me as per fine girl. Seriously though, he had actually started talking plenty and I just was not in the mood. I heard the food trolley pass by. I was glad in my spirit as I had not eaten anything all day. 

I began to plan what I’d take. I rehearsed how I’d say “water please” even when there will be all those other stuff…. you know the whole healthy lifestyle thing right? Well, the trolley came, the host(?) just handed me half a cuppa’a water! Yes, those tiny disposable cups oh!  I almost said no bros, I want coke but I decided to look at the trolley to really make a decision. That’s how I saw that they had just water to serve us. Like really? Just water? Arik air, really?! And there was a dry slice of cake. *rme* Next time I will just enter cross lines and know that I will only be getting water.

Ehen, that’s that about the flight. I got to Calabar and I was eager to come on here and gist you guys all about the wickedness of Arik and my phone wouldn’t even behave…no, it wasn’t my phone, the network there was terrible! Kilode? It was almost impossible to check my blog. I made sure I kept trying to check other blogs but for where? So I gave up on my 2nd day there. Beautiful eagle, how do you do it?!

Ehen, then it was sallah day and I sat patiently waiting for the good muslim brothers and sisters to bring meat ba? Hmmmm at about 5pm, I began to realize what a mistake coming to Calabar for sallah was. It occurred to me that all the Northerners and other muslims there must have traveled ‘home’ for sallah. I almost wept thinking to myself “so this is how I won’t see meat to eat this sallah ehn?” And that is how Saturday rolled by, no sallah meat for me. Plenty heart break for me.

Well, the Good Lord saw my heart and how badly I wanted sallah meat and by Sunday evening, I heard the sweetest voice say “salama allaikum”, I smiled because I knew it was here. Yes! I finally got sallah meat….*skelewus* no scratch that. I do not skelewu. But mhen, my joy knew no bounds. 

I did not really go anywhere, I was indoors most of the time. I did make it to the suya joint a lot though. Good thing the aunty and all her kids are just like me in that aspect. My maternal family members can eat meat for Africa!

So anyway, I am back to the Buj, I have missed y’alls. I have missed being here…..And yea, if you still have sallah meat, I am very available to come chop.

A big thank you to all of you kept visiting even when I had nothing up for you....Let us blame the internet providers in Calabar ehn?
Please keep coming oh, I appreciate y'all real big.

Happy 54th Motherland!

Happy independence day everyone! Happy birthday Nigeria.
I read a speech given by former Lagos state governor; Bola Tinubu. To quote some lines,

"We commemorate this Independence Day because the nation has survived despite its many challenges. We dare not celebrate because the nation has not flourished as it should. Fifty four years our national trek began with hope and promise, peace and unity.

Today, the nation staggers beneath the weight of trouble multiplied by hardship. Peace and unity seem to have yielded the moment to violence and discord. We exist as a political unit on a map but we do not prosper as brothers and sisters in one nation, under one flag and pursuant to one accord"

 I've taken it upon my self to share 10 facts about our dear country, my way of taking part in the day's festivities.

1. Nigeria happens to be the most populous country in Africa with about over 160 million     people.

2. Nigeria has over 250 ethnic groups

3. The longest  and largest river in West Africa is the River Niger which happens to be     located in Nigeria.

4. The name "Nigeria"  was actually derived from the name "River Niger" .

5. Archaeological evidence proves that human existence in Nigeria goes as far back as 9000BC (Nok Civilzation) making our country one of the oldest locations of human existence.

6. Nigeria is the 12th largest producer of crude oil in the world and the 8th largest exporter.

7. The longest bridge in the whole of Africa happens to be The Third Mainland Bridge (in Lagos state) measuring about 11.8km.

8. Lagos also happens to be The largest city in Nigeria with a population of over 7million people. (that's alot)

9. Nigeria has the 2nd largest economy in Africa. Its stock exchange market is also the 2nd largest in Africa.

10. Nollywood; Nigeria' s movie industry,  was ranked the 2nd largest producers of movies in the world. Just ahead of Hollywood and behind Bollywood. (Yes they produce alot but what do they produce?  *lips sealed*) 





Hope you all had a lovely day...

I've Got Questions For Y'all Today...

Hahahaaaaa! Maybe she is a really really  loyal customer and the bank was just checking up on her? Just maybe?

I saw this picture on instagram, while it cracked me up, it got me thinking. Why do people cheat on their significant others? Married or unmarried, why do people cheat generally? It seems like infidelity is the order of the day. The way married men sit and gist about their girlfriends will never cease to amaze me.

At what point is it considered cheating? When it gets physical? Someone once said if you have to delete messages so your significant other does not see, then you should check yourself as you might be on your way to cheating. Do you agree? I know someone who says it is cheating if you kiss while another said as soon as you make an emotional connection with someone else, cheating begins.

I have a friend who actually saved his side chick's name on his phone as 'Lazarus Carpenter'. Her name was Elizabeth. What puzzled me was how proud  he seemed of himself when he was telling us about it. He told us his wife brought the phone to him when 'Lazarus' was calling...."What if she had answered as per na carpenter na?" Is what I asked him and he began to say errr, errm, no, she wouldn't have.

I probably would have answered the call just to ask 'him' which of the Lazarus' he was named after. Ehen, you see how if he had a wife like me, yawa will just gas for him because instead of a Lazarus' voice, she would hear Elizabeth's.

He had another girlfriend named Paulina and he saved her name as Paul plumber....smh. Now I am worried for this my friend. I should go for update to hear how all the coded names have worked for him so far. *i hope he was caught*

Now I need to ask....Have you ever cheated or had someone cheat on you?
As the cheater, did you have to code names and stuff? Or how did the cheatee go about it?
Were you caught?
Did you 'fess up?
Do you regret it?
If given a chance, would you cheat (again)?
Is there something that pushes a person to cheat?

Here are my answers:
Yes, I have cheated.
No, I wasn't caught.
I stopped because it wasn't worth the trouble. 
Am I proud of myself? No.
Did I confess? No!
Did I have a good reason to cheat? Errr....Not really.
Will I cheat again? No....I do not plan to.
So help me God!

Just The Way You Are



You are beautiful just the way you are.
How many times have we heard that line? In the movies, in the books, and the in the lyrics of some songs.
I've heard it a million times. But the one time I couldn't forget that was one afternoon when I was feeling lost. I was just starting on my first job then. I was 20, a fresh grad, hungry and full of dreams.
I was still vulnerable and naive. Naturally, a little gossip and badmouthing could shatter me. I couldn't remember what issue got me really down then but I remember questioning myself. Was there something wrong with me? Was I too different? What do I need to fit in, to be like the rest so they won't always see me and my mistakes?

Just then I heard Joey McIntyre's song play:
Don't you ever wish you were someone else,
You were meant to be the way you are exactly.
Don't you ever say you don't like the way you are.
When you learn to love yourself, you're better off by far.
And I hope you always stay the same,
'cause there's nothing 'bout you I would change.

Coincident? I don't think so. I must have looked like a loony looking crestfallen then suddenly breaking into a smile. I felt God reassuring me that the world will try to change me into something or someone I'm not, but I am exactly the way He created me to be.
I was, still am, and will always be enough.
I was, still am, and will always be beautiful just the way I am.

I was, still am, and will always be the apple of His eye.

Because He doesn't create rejects.
Because I am not here by mistake. I have a purpose.
Because He created every cell of my body intricately.
Because He knit me together in my mother's womb.
Because I am His, He created me in His own image and likeness.
Because He said so.
No rumor, no gossip, no badmouthing, no criticism, no lies can change that.
No mistake, no error, and no failure from my end can lessen His love for me.
No one can tell me I'm not good enough or I'm not worthy.
Because Someone important laid down His life for me, as He did for you.
Because my love, you are beautiful and you are worthy just the way you are.
Why fit in when you were born to stand out?
---Dr. Seuss
Beautifully written by the lovely SuperLux. Thank you so much for allowing me share. She bares her soul on baredmysoul.blogspot.com 

Please visit her BLOG and I promise, You will be blessed richly. I did and I am glad.
God bless us all and have yourselves a beautiful week ahead

Let's Talk About Love...

Hiya my people! I believe we are all good. Yeah? Cool.
Allow me to wish Momma Reese a happy birthday and many more prosperous years on earth. (Pssst! FUNMI, what did you get for her?)

Today, I want us to talk about love. How do you decide that you are in love with a person? What is it about a person that makes you fall in love with them? Is it looks, character, financial status, height, complexion or their spirit? 

Well, I saw this picture of Dabota Lawson and her fiance at an occasion and I was a bit surprised. Why? Have you taken a good look at this picture? The girl is an ex-beauty queen. Plus she is that much taller than he is. Well, I wasn't surprised when I read that he is a billionaire. 
 
Aha! That explains it right? But does it really? Are we saying that a pretty young girl cannot fall in love with a not so fine looking and shorter  man? I went on to read the comments the picture attracted and i felt ashamed that my thoughts were same as all those people's.

But my major problem with this picture is that she did not insist on using a little out of the billions to get him a nice looking suit. Haba! I am pained jor. Ehen, back to the matter,  I believe a lot of us girls have this perfect picture of how we want our men to look. As a young lady growing up, I had the perfect picture of the man of my dreams. And with time, I found him...(Yes, I found Idris Elba just that he hasn't found me yet.) You see, Idris is perfection to me. What is there not to like? The height? The complexion? The lips? Biko, tell me one thing not to like about Idris Elba.I dare ya!
Idris Elba
You see him abi? I am sure you understand. Now I am wondering how many of us would leave a poor Idris Elba type looking guy for a man who looks like the daddy up in the other picture. And why would you? For love or for the money?

The corper in my office (lets call her Monsura) is quick to say "he is not fine" about guys. In my whole office complex, the girl thinks only one guy is "fine" but she is crazy for Don Jazzy because "he is cool and I like his swag" *I am not saying Don Jazzy isn't fine oh* but what business does a girl who is all for good looks have with loving Don Jazzy biko? 

Monsura swears it is not about his money but because of "the aura around him and I like his effizie" *Yimu* And somehow, none of the close to a hundred men in the office complex has the aura, swag and effizie shey? Yimu for her again jor. Anyway, she ended up saying she believes "every man should have money to take care of his girlfriend". So, would all that aura and swag talk be there if Don Jazzy isn't The Don Jazzy?

Now, I know that those two could truly be in love, but do you think that maybe, just maybe the Billionaire tile may have influence or triggered the love?
Do you agree?
Please, let us discuss. Do you believe that a man's financial status makes it easier for him to get the prettiest girls out there? And would you as a lady choose to be with a man because of his financial status?

PS: Please if you have a way of contacting the Don Dorobucci, let me know so we can get Monsura to meet him and his aura and swag biko.

PPS: Greys Anatomy and Scandal are back!!! RIP to my data bundle coz I am going to start downloading and not care!

PPPS: Hiya DURU! (You know why.)

Let them be kids!!!

 
 I do not understand why some people (mothers) will not let kids be kids. I am not trying to be judgmental here (ok,maybe just a little bit and I am sorry) but common, why do you have make up on a one year old? Why are you braiding her hair? And why is a child less than 10 getting weaves fixed?

So you are wondering who pissed me off right? This is what happened, the other day at the salon, and this baby was crying so bad I almost thought she was being amputated without anesthesia. You get the picture right? I was worried and I had to ask the lady fixing my hair what was wrong with the little girl. "Na braiding" was the response I got.

Now, we all know that while I mind my business at the salon, I do not really mind my business right? Just like This day at the salon so anyway, I tried hard to block out the wailing of this little girl when I heard "sorry, sorry no cry" beside me. Whattapun? Hot water happened. On another little girl who I am guessing could not have been more than ten years old. You know how they use hot water to make the hair "relax" after braiding? Yes, that didn't go well for her, the hot water burnt her, baby girl began to cry and all she got was sorry, no cry. Why she no go cry? The day that shit happened to me, I almost cried!

Those ones who even make braids with colored wool are the worsetest! I bet these babies would be mad when they grow up and see pictures of them 'rocking' red or brown wool. Do you realize you just took away that child's right to 'throw back' pictures in the future? Because she would be ashamed to put that up except maybe as a surulere picture (that is where you show the suffer-head picture beside the "I have arrived' one ba?)

As an adult, I try to avoid hair styles that would require this hot water dipping business because even the steam hurts. Why put a baby through it? Fashion you say? Please! I prefer to see a kid with nice weaving cornrows, lovely beads and ribbons.

Finally, as the President of chopping panadol for other people's headache association, I am pained, I am worried and I think we should let babies be babies, kids be kids and at the right time, they can go ahead and do these things.

No More Crumbs.

Hiya guys,  It's a new week, I am happy and thankful for life. I was really ill last week (can I blame TIBS for the fever?) but I am a lot better now and I am even at work! I still have another test to run but I am good and I am back.  But ehn, sickness sucks oh! Story for another day.... 

So, today I want us to understand the depth of God's love for us, His children. He is willing and ready to give us all that we ask for. Didn't He say in Matthew 7:7 that we should ask and it shall be given unto us, seek and we shall find....? Do you know why He said that? Because He can do it! Because nothing is too big for Him.  Didn't the Word also say "what no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human has conceived" are the things God has prepared for those who love Him?


So why are we afraid to ask Him big things? Why do we ask for crumbs from our father? I introduced you all to my teacher last week right? Well, today he has written what he titled No More Crumbs. Please read and be encouraged and also, visit his website francisagbo.com and subscribe to his daily motivational and I promise you wont regret it.

And desiring to be fed with the crumbs which fell from the rich man’s table: moreover the dogs came and licked his sores. -Luke 16:21 KJV
Heaven bound Lazarus lived a downtrodden life. Lived on “crumbs”, troubled and tormented by sickness, pain and sorrow all his life. He was tail and not the head, behind instead of ahead. Instead of sitting at the table he is sitting under the table. A child of God but he is living like a slave. A son of the King but living like a slave. Feeding on scraps, handouts, hand me downs and crumbs. God had planned for him to have the whole loaf but he is feeding off scraps or crumbs that fall from the table.

Was it God's fault? No. Was it God's will that Lazarus feed on crumbs? Certainly not. God's plan for His children is always good. He can't do evil and He can't put evil on His children. God is a father and a loving Father. The devils chief tactic is to steal, kill and destroy and then turn around and draw attention away from him. He steals from you and tries to get you to believe that God is responsible for what he - the devil is doing. God is a good God always and He cannot do evil. It is impossible for God to do evil just as it is impossible for the devil to do good. God is the author of good always just as the devil is the author of evil always.

If it was not God's fault then whose fault was it that Lazarus lived on crumbs and lived a life full of sores- pains, sorrow, trouble, torment. It was not God's fault. Lazarus was at fault. He desired to be fed on the crumbs that fell off the rich man's table. His desire and expectation borne probably out of ignorance of the covenant was responsible for his lot. He desired crumbs and crumbs was what he got. Bible says the desire of the righteous shall be granted and that the expectation of the righteous shall not be cut short. He desired crumbs and he was not disappointed. Crumbs he expected and crumbs was what he obtained. He desired crumbs and he was not disappointed.

What is the lesson from all of this? If you don't like what you are getting then change your desire or expectation. God wants you to have the whole loaf and not crumbs. Stop settling for crumbs because your Father has prepared the whole loaf for you. Change your expectation and what you get will change. You are a child of the king not a slave. You ought to be at the table not under the table feeding on handouts and crumbs. You don't have to settle for less when God has prepared the best for you. Have positive expectations based on the promises of God in His word and you will have some positive things happening in your life. Arise and say no more crumbs but the whole. No more will I settle for less rather I will settle for the best. If you are His child you are heaven bound and should still experience heaven on earth. And Yes! No more crumbs.
