The one about online dating

I tried online dating. Let us get right into it. I had idly toyed with getting into online dating like late last year but I never thought I would actually do it. Moving into my new apartment was what eventually started this domino effect. I started using FaceBook very actively in January to get updates regarding my apartment and one day, I saw a prompt to join FaceBook dating. I scrolled past it because I did not even think people still used FB actively for anything, much less a potential love match. However, this prompt kept popping up every time I opened my app so I gave in one day and created a profile. I did it and just moved…

The one about the road to love

I knew I wanted to write about love to commemorate Valentine’s Day but I had no idea what to write. The subject of romantic love is so extensive that one could write for hours and not exhaust half of it. To help me streamline my thoughts, I put out a post on my Instagram stories to ask my friends to select from a list of topics I had on my radar. Interestingly, everyone had different ideas on what they wanted me to write about, there was no majority vote on any of the topics. I have thus decided to see if I can touch a bit on every of them and maybe have a part 2 if this post becomes…

The One About Forgiveness

I sat to write a new blog post last week Sunday when I received a call from someone that vexed me right to the core of my soul. Until that time, I was not aware of how much a peaceful mind is directly proportional to productivity. All the words I had floating in my subconscious flew right out the window. I was super annoyed. I thought waiting it out a few hours will help but I was still mad. I sent a message to my unpaid editor (I only pay him in 'thanks a lot', imagine the nerve of me) to tell him the situation. He says very reasonably, 'why don't you write about what is making you so mad?". I…

The one where “because of man…” II

I had spent N21,000.00, I was still in Ikeja and was going to Akowonjo. During the short distance from 3rd mainland bridge to Ikeja City Mall, I informed the bros about the situation, he said to let him know what the bill comes to when I get off at Ikeja. I also reached out to A. A is another friend who lives close to the venue and was supposed to pop in and say hi to bros as well. Fortunately, she was around Ikeja under bridge when I called her to inform her of the mess I had gotten myself into, she offered to come pick myself and F from the mall to the venue. The only reason I proceeded…

The One Where “Because of Man…”

This one ehn, if you are my close friend you may have heard about it. If you have not, then today is your lucky day. Sometime ago, my sister used my picture as DP and her friend said he will like me to meet his nephew. Long story short I started talking to this "bros" who happened to live in Jookay. This was in 2015 or thereabouts. Jookay is UK by the way, in case you were wondering.At the beginning, our conversations were very sparse as he was always busy. The time he was available to talk was never convenient for me and vice versa. The whole thing pretty much fizzled quickly. After several months of not even talking, this…
