29th July 2019: Hello there!
It’s 1.30a.m. My roomie’s alarm is so loud. enough to wake me but not her. I cannot remember the last time I worked overnight since my seminar. I find it very difficult to sleep after a wake, so I let my mind turn the disturbing tune to a lullaby. 1.45a.m. I’ve been dealing with insomnia for a larger part of my years. dragging my laptop, scribbling or trying to meet a deadline is how I make it productive. sometimes, I dance too. Other times, I cook ewa agoyin (shit takes times, so, it’s perfect). On some other days, I unpack my clothes. I begin to fold them, clean everywhere and…

CYBERBULLYING: THE WOES OF A SOCIETY EXISTING IN THE CURRENT DAY CYBER WORLD.
Happy New Week Guys! It’s another week in the month of January and it’s fair to say that I’m not really sure if this month is fast or slow but then, I know that overall, we are soon to bid this month goodbye. Over the weekend, I thought to myself what should I share with y’all or write on the blog about today? I wrote a couple of motivational words, then, I found myself canceling it and the other ideas I had were not something I wanted to throw in your face on a Monday morning (well, it would have been good to catch y’all by surprise with something you…

The Little Things Are Still Big
Sometimes, when I think about the little things, I do not try to think about how long it took them to happen but how meaningfully well they’ve helped shape my life and build my hope, resilience and resolve to believe fiercely in myself and the ability of life to give me something beyond pains and setbacks. Sometimes, when we think something is too small, it’s not that those things are really too small, it’s because we are so close-minded to see the depth and abilities in small things. I mean, if they are that small, how then were we able to see them? These feels like crap already but it’s…

Something as countable as sperm.
It’s the last day of the year 2018! I thought to myself what better time to share this poignant but not the last piece of my mind if not today after many days and weeks of postponement? I mean, it’s been a long and eventful year with so many ignorant, myopic and patriarchal expressions and writings littered all over the social media space and also with tireless back to back writings and verbal expressions consistently dedicated to humiliating, questioning, criticizing and making a correction of these shameful and uninhibited patriarchal mindsets expressed in writings. As someone who has been a victim of these ridiculousness a couple of times, I’m not…

ON BODY SHAMING: NIGERIAN WOMEN NEED TO DO BETTER
Pheeew! It’s been a while. Well, it feels good to have gathered enough momentum to be back here. Often times when we speak of body shaming and how ridiculously shameful it is to engage in the act, we don’t speak of how endangering it can be to building and raising a community of true women supporting and standing up for one another because for me, I don’t think body shaming in itself is the saddest part, I think the fact that women are mostly the perpetrators of this act makes it the saddest. A lot of times, women come for one another’s bodies for silly reasons like trying to feel…
