Its been on everyone’s lips. Bring back Our Girls. As we rightly turn to our government for answers, my thoughts turned to possible lasting solutions after their return. What stops the perpetrators of this heinous crime from striking again? Or for other sects with similar ideologies to follow suit. How can we stand with courage in the face of such…
The whole world makes it seem like playing dress up is a right only reserved for ‘normal’ sized people. I use normal in parenthesis because there has always been this notion that anything above a certain size is somewhat abnormal. Think going to a store and when the sales girl is frantically walking around all smiles grinning from ear to…
We’ve all heard it happen a million times. You’re dating a guy, weaving your life around his, day dreaming about the life, home and children you’ll both share, when suddenly from nowhere, he pulls the rug from underneath your feet, leaving you and your dreams a tumbled mess on the floor. How many times have I had to console friends…
As a little girl I loved to play. I would play in the garden for hours, running around with make believe friends and concocting all sorts of shapes with heaps of sand. When the sun hid its light, I played in the full glare of our hall way lights, sometimes running up and down the stairs for reasons I do…

Dearest Unwana, I know you hate it when people call you that…

I love my girlfriends! I love hanging with them! There are very few problems on this earth, that a quick drink or dinner date with the girls cannot solve. My girls have laughed with me, they have cried with me and they have fought my enemies with me! I will say it anywhere, anytime, I love my girls! So you…
I’m going to be honest. A part of me lights up like fireworks on the fourth of July when I hear a woman is cheating on her man. Inexcusable I know, but I can’t help but feel her actions are restoring balance to the male philandering dominated world we live in. Shoot me, but I’ve heard/know of more men (married…
You’re deceiving yourself Glory. There’s no step by step with guys like this, it has to be surgical. You cut him off, like a bad appendix. Pull him out, like a rotten tooth. Turn away and don’t look back.”- Omo It started during the Occupy Nigeria movement. While the whole country was embroiled in a bitter struggle over fuel subsidy…
