Heyyy guysss, it’s the last day of the freaking year 😀(like we’re on the 365th day of the yearrrr) woop woop!!! I’m sorry I’ve been MIA😞, wanted to write yesterday, but I was ssooo darn tired. Anyways guys, y’all should do something fun, or of importance today( I’m not doing anything major, because I have a very boring life like that, but for y'all who have normal, and interesting lives, please do something, after today, there’ll be no 2015,God why do I feel so giddy?😄). So much has happened from 12:00am 1ST OF January 2015, till, this point 10:03am 31st of December, and we have so much to be thankful for, even if we feel otherwise. It’s even in the bible ‘in everything, give thanks’. So, today, I want you to take time out to give thanks to God for everything, for all your tiny little miracles, I’ll start: I’m thankful because I can finally use sugar, after a three day suspension( one of my friends(in fact, all) think I’m a sugar freak😀, and he told me not to have any sweet s

CHEMISTRY

Hello fellow humans, how are y’all doing? I really hope Planet earth is treating you guys well? (before I continue, I’d like to announce to you that I’m getting married!!! bahaha just kidding, not now. I just wanted to say that the background of my blog is PINK!!!! I was just checking out the settings and found out that I could change it from that boring orange (the color of American prisoners’ uniform), no offence meant… I’ve been home for about (consulting the calendar) JEEEZZZZ!!! Just 8 days!!!! I thought I have spent 3 weeks ni!! God why na? And we dunno when we’ll resume, it is well. (Oops! my battery is low o), I’ll have to continue later, but lemme tell you what I might be talking about later-CHEMISTRY. TTYL Guess who’s back after over 36hrs?!! Me. Well, I have been busy, it’s not like my laptop took forever to charge( oooh I went out with my friend Lara, to see a movie at the cinema yesterday), I’m sorry.  So, the last time I said I will probably talk about chemistry, and t

FINANCE

Hello guys ( oh God why is my laptop misbehaving? just when I decided to write!!! pfft)………( like 6hrs later phew) I’m back, I never dropped out of the phase of the earth, I was just in a tight corner, the corner is called OAU, I suffered for a week, no water ,no light. Okay you might think I’m exaggerating, so let me define what I mean by “no water, no light” we( the three of us who were left in the crazy school) used to charge in the academic area of the school, we also used to fetch water there( I used to, they still are…sweeties, if you’re reading this I’m not laughing, just really glad I can use a full bucket of water to bathe, oh and not just any kind of water- HOT WATER) , but there was the fun part –I spent it with my besties, Toye and Pelumi  (they brought out the cyclist in me).     So, today, I’m talking about what exactly? ummm( this is why I need ideas, I should not be embarrassing myself like this online)…oooh I know let’s talk about FINANCE( money matter). We all need t

Nothing major

Hello guys, how are you? I hope you’re doing fine? It’s late, I know but I just have to talk to you, I even have a headache, I should be in church. Okay, I’ll be done in three months (with school), this usually makes me happy, but tonight, I’m not all too happy, I’m a bit sober. Asking me why I suppose? Well, it’s just got me thinking about my life. While I was walking down to my hostel, and listening to different conversations that spilled into my ear, a guy said this “many people do not have FORESIGHT, but PRESENT DAY SIGHT.” I kept thinking about it, and I still am. The guy said the truth. So, concerning my leaving school, I really do not want to leave school without having some kind of plan for my life, no matter how small, I want to be the kind of person with foresight, and not present day sight, because it’s only a foolish person that would have present day sight.          Well, well, well… A friend told me that there’s always something to say, but why’s it that whenever I pick

LOVE YOURSELF

Hi guys, it’s been like forever, and for that, I am deeply sorry. I know that I do not have an excuse, but because I am human, please permit me to have one or two (okay, probably one). *project, aka dissertation *Trying to look for another one, but in the absence of none, I shall proceed. So, how have you guys been though, I pray and hope that you’ve been well; the Lord is your strength. (Oops!! My battery is running low, I’ll continue typing later, it’s just 6:44am). It’s now 8:56am, and I’m so darn tired, so let’s just continue as though, there was no break In transmission hehehe. Guys!!! It’s my last semester on campus, by God’s grace, and I’m truly excited. I have resolved to make the best of it in every way, spiritually, socially, and all that. What shall I talk about? Let me see, hmmmn okay, I’m getting nothing (God I feel so sleepy). I know just what to talk about. EMBRACING YOURSELF. Yeah, as young adults, we often face this challenge of loving ourselves, and as a result, i

SHOW SOME LOVE

Hello people, I’m sorry for taking this long,  I have a problem, emabinu( means I’m sorry) I think I’ve lost the touch, it saddens me, but I’ll still talk sha, I hope y’all have been good though? I am just there, immensely bored, I’m available for invitation( even though I really like my room, I am a really confused person, as much as I complain of boredom, I do not like stepping out of my comfort zone, so I should just keep my mouth shut)…   You know I have been secretly wondering if people actually take time to read what I write, I mean, except for the people that I know will read it (I was surprised when I knew some of my friends didn’t read the write up, whatever, it’s not like it’s paining me sef) Anyways, I have something to say that’s really bothering me, and it won’t be bad to vent a little.   Okay, what I want to talk about is friendship, yeah yeah, I’ve talked about it, I know, but the other was about choosing friends, this is about the friends you have chosen. Okay, maybe

Bad day

Have you ever had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day? Yeah, that was my day, plus I do not think a lesson will come out of this, (okay I lost my manners.) Hey loves, good morning and how have you been? Great to hear that.  Aww I’m sorry the Lord is your strength.   Okay today’s Sunday, I know you think I spent my morning in church, nah I didn’t. I spent it in the student union’s security room. Yeah, you heard me right; I wish I could add a picture of how I was. My hair was in a mess, I wore my pj’s and I was hungry and dejected mann!! Alright Alright , I know you want to hear the whole gist. I’ll start right now, this was how it all started (imagine the flashback scenario that takes place in movies, yeah, that white light…hehehe)   I woke up around 8, to my roomies talking, okay, not talking discussing, whatever, same words, I know. Okay, I woke up, and asked them what the problem was, and they were like one of my roomies misplaced her phone but we both waved it off as nothi

Communal living

Yaaaayyy!!! I’m hooomee!!! I’m sure you think I’m the most excited person here, but really, out of 100% I’m 35% excited, I know you sha want to know why. The thing is that I’m at my aunt’s place, and it’s overly quiet. Have you ever heard silence? Well I have, and I’m listening to it (oh these dogs just had to spoil it) silence is really loud if you pay close attention, I can’t quite describe the sound. Anyways my journey was surprisingly long(I assumed you asked about it, how sweet of you) I was in my head all through the journey, I was really paranoid too though, every little time, I’ll ask myself ’why is this guy speeding? Why am I the only one that looks scared?’ And then, I’ll pray a little. It was sha long, in short.     I hope you enjoyed your church meetings?  Cos I did, though to be truthful, I was really hungry, and I was a bit overly conscious of time (I’m always time conscious) Okay, that’s that with that. I was about to ask you to guess what I want to talk about today, an

Friendship

Good evening, fellas!!!  How ya doin’? Hope ya good? Coz I am okay. Anyways, hope your day went well? I’m sorry this is coming in late, I had the BEST DAY EVER (okay, for those of you that might take it literally, that’s not what I meant. I meant that I had the worstest day ever…  As in, I wouldn’t want today to repeat itself, like ever. There was no water in the hostel, or outside, I had the worst stomach ache ever, and I had to leave school to bathe!!!! Can you beat that???!!! cos I can’t.     Okay guys, you wanna know what I want to talk about today? Okay guess. Nah you’re wrong…try again…last try…okay that’s that. Today, I’ll be talking about friendship. Yeah yeah, I know you know the meaning of friendship, but I’ll be practical, you know, in a way that we can relate.    Should I start by defining it? FRIENDSHIP -‘The state of being friends (or friendly).’ This is by far the lamest definition of friendship I’ve heard, I mean, the state of being friendly? I’ve been friendly sooo m

I'm backkk

How are you, my friend? It’s been a very long while, yeah yeah, exam ish. Well, I’m done now, and I slept the hell out of me… I hope yours are going on well, and if you’re done, let’s partaaayyy. Oh!! Sorry guys that aren’t done, I so didn’t mean to make you feel jealous bahahahaha!!!     You know, (I know you don’t know, just used to the phrase), I was going through my pictures today (I’m saying today like it’s 7pm, hehehe it’s just 5:13am. people are still asleep)… sorrrrry about the break in transmission, will try not to do that again, even though I’m still doing it. Okay Lois stop!!!!! you’ll bore people out!!!      Okay, as I was saying, I was taking a look at my pictures, not to see how fine they are, or how ugly I was, I even like keeping a few ugly pictures, one can’t be fine always, we aren’t always flawless, sorry Beyoncé (this laptop autocorrected my spelling of Beyoncé, and it can’t recognize FIFEHAN!!), we wake up with flaws and sleep with flaws. So you’d ask me “Lois wh

DEFINING RELATIONSHIPS

Missed me? Good morning people, how’s your holiday going? Please don’t let it go to waste, maximize it, thank you (I’m such a chicken, why the thank you?), my exam is in two days, almost done reading, the revision will start today, the library ain’t open I’ll be doing something different today, and hopefully, you’ll enjoy it.  Have you guys(either male or female) ever been in a very weird relationship with someone, so much that you don’t know what is happening, whether you guys are exclusive or not, or you’re friends? Trust me; it’s the most confusing thing ever. So, that’s what I wanna talk about (hehehe, some people’s ears have stretched already, you people like relationship talk too much jere) maybe I shouldn’t even talk about it again…okay, okay, calm down, I was just kidding… BTW, I’m not being specific; I’m just talking about what happens generally among youths and older teens.     Okay, let’s start. If relationships with people started like this, life would be easier: BOY: go

MUST THERE BE A TITLE?

(Panting) Good evening loves, just got back from the library, it’s 7:31pm and I’ve been there since 8:28am, my hard work will pay off in Jesus’ name, and there’s God’s grace too. so guys how was your day? mine didn’t start out too nicely, I woke up on the right side of the bed, but then I woke up to read, and there was no reception in the room, I was mad, in fact, I went to the corridor sef, still there was nothing, later on, airtel decided to do rubbish (I borrowed airtime for the first time ever some days back, I just wanted #50 bucks, but guess what those misleading people lent me- #500 I was angryyyyy, then today they sent ,me one stupid message like this, saying something about me owing #498, I was furious to the max this morning,  I was close to yelling at the woman, my grammar was not even fluent, I didn’t even sound like a final year ENGLISH student, but it was not my fault, it was rectified sha) my day was better eventually, and I am glad, I like being a happy person.    Exam

BOOKS!!

Good morning friends😊, I’m a bit out of ideas on what to write, my brain is kinda dry, why? Because I’m reading, that’s what reading does to the brain, it saps out all the fun,  as in, I’m waiting from my brain to produce something, but nothing is coming forth, and I definitely  do not want you to get bored with whatever I’m reading , okay lemme just tell you a teeny weeny  tiny bit, I’m reading literature, something about the theories in Literature, right now I’m on post structuralism( believes that language is unreliable, and it doesn’t possess absolute meaning) I concur, I mean they’ll just tell us different letters written together mean a particular thing.    I’m reading in the room today, was too tired to do that space keeping ish, I have a target, to finish literature by 1pm, and start English(grammar) when it’s 3pm ( it’s 11am already)       I’m very sorry, I’m such a bore, but Exams na the koko. Love youuuu. Plus I dunno if I’m sorry this post is really short, but I’m sorry

I'M LATE!!!!

Gooooodd morning dearies, today is Sunday, and I’m freaking late, it’s 7:14 am, I slept, according to my roommates at 3:30, and I woke up at 6:58,I’ll tell you what I was not doing, I wasn’t reading. I was seeing a criminal law movie (it’s a feat!!!!) I didn’t see those high school movies and all, it was awesome!!!- HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER … Sad news was that I didn’t finish watching (issokay be grinning there). I’ll have to come back to finish this writeup, cos I’m already late…so TTYL after church      6:01 pm, no no no no no!!!!! I didn’t just get back from church. Definitely not. I’m not even the president so why do you think I just got back? The thing’s that I got back, ate, slept, and saw a movie…err yeah that’s about it. I even forgot partially that I hadn’t completed my entry…this is how is happened ROOMMATE: Lois! Your blog!! LOIS: OH MY GOD!!! I FORGOT, no, it’s not like I forgot, I actually remembered, but I was tired. ROOMMATE: Really? Guys, please no it’s not like

FREE DAYY!!!

Hi loveys, I hope it’s a pleasant morning wherever you are, because it is, here. I woke up late today, it’s allowed cos, today is Saturday, it’s 7:19am, some of you guys may be sleeping, (sleepy heads). No rushing to the library today, I must read in my room today, max of 4hrs. Why am I yawning? I slept na, as in for a very long time (lemme calculate – I’m too ashamed to say the hours, okay I’ll say it, 10hrs). Yeah, whatever, it is you that know; at least I’ll read overnight today.       LOOOOOL, I’m not psycho, but I just remembered something that made me laugh, I’ll tell you, so just chillax. This morning ehn I saw a post that read ‘what do you call your gf/bf?’ I read this out loud to my roommates and they started on it, saying all sorts of names like ‘baby (I hate this with passion), shuga, okan mi (my heart), oju mi (my eyes- what happened to the real eyes o?) honeypie (have they ever tasted honeypie sef) and so on. I know you’re not laughing, but it made me really high on laugh

Beautiful morning

Hello people (this actually reminds me of a line in one of the plays we acted for our fellowship drama), how was your night BTW? Mine was awesome, I still feel sleepy, although it’s 7:12 am. I slept at 11pm, and set my alarm to wake me up at these respective periods : 2:30am( I knew I was jonzing, I just wanted to prove to myself that I was a superhero and I could wake up 3hrs30mins after I slept, I didn’t even hear it ring); 3:30am( I was like, I should try to be awake at this time, at least 4hrs30mins should be enough, but in my heart of hearts I knew I loved sleep too much to do that) then the last one was set for 4am( this one is an everyday thing, I wake up by this time almost every day) little did I know I wouldn’t wake up at the sound of the alarm…wait o I think I did, yeah I did, just enough to check on my phone, and to fight the daily inner battle ‘do I have to wake up ni? abeg I’m too tired, I can sleep for just 30 mins more now’ eventually I decided I’d sleep, LOL… the holy

SLEEPY HEAD

Hiiiiii, good morning, how was your niiiight?( wait o, did I sound enthusiastic, because that wasn’t what I hoped for( chai! must you misunderstand me?) It’s not like I wasn’t looking forward to talking to you today, But the thing is I feel sleepy, yeah yeah, I know it’s 5:50am and a good student should be awake by then, but it ain’t my fault, I slept really late yesterday(I’ll tell you why if you must know, because I can feel your ears twitching for more information, don’t be disappointed when I tell you why, because I’m not a very fun person), The reason for my sleeping late was because I SAW A MOVIE… Please don’t judge me, or label me as an unserious person, the thing is I CANNOT COME AND GO AND DIE!!!, abeegi, kilode?? I was stressed out, and I had to look for an outlet. You’re not totally innocent sef, but don’t let me start on you.           It’s not like I’m a newsman (or lady) but I just have to say the weather is cool, really cool. Plus finally guys…guess what- do you really

HI THERE

Hi there, it’s 6:08, on this surprisingly warm inside, but cold outside morning. I’m really sorry if you do not understand that, you should try to read it two more times, and if you still don’t, you should get help-yeah, help from the holy spirit, trust me, I’m not that mean. I’ve been checking my phone countless times, just to see if I have a whatsapp  message, I know that you already think the message I’m expecting is from a boy…(us young adults and our default state of mind sha) FYI, it’s actually from a male, but the male here is my dad. Yeah, you read that right, do not be confused my dear friend, my dad is my padi, plus we were supposed to have a meeting at 5:30,but because I slept late and woke up early to read something about tenses, we were not able to chat, and I feel really bad, cos it’s the second time in a row.(My friend, Toye told me to read it INTENSIVELY, or is it EXTENSIVELY? So much is expected from English students that you dare not make a mistake grammatically, plus

NO TITLE (hehehe)

(in the voice of a radio presenter) Hi there, good morning, it’s 6:49am here in my room, and you’re welcome to this still titleless article (trust me, I’m really working on the title, it ain’t just easy rara)…BTW, this my system, sorry laptop( there’s actually no difference, but mom feels differently),as I was saying, this laptop is not fresh o, you need to see how it’s just underlining my work negatively, mtchew.      As, you might have noticed, I just write as it comes, it might be weird, but trust me, it’s easier for me, than to have premeditated gist written here. Anyways, I have to hurry up here because, I have to rush to the library to secure seats for Toye and I…please don’t even go there, I’m not being mean, just smart, hehehe, I like how I can sometimes read your mind before you even utter anything, it’s nothing joh, I’m just a superb psychic, but that doesn’t mean you should ask me if I know what you’re about to eat, I won’t tell you because there’s no point #tongueout. (Doe

A NEW DAY

Hullos, it’s 7:51, on this hot Monday morning, so hot that my fan is still on at this time of the day. Okay, I wrote my first short, and by short, I mean very very short story yesterday. In truth, I wanted to submit it, but my dear friend told me to write with another subject matter in view, hey! not that he didn’t like it, he definitely did, but the truth is that I never know what to write, I just have to take my laptop, and start writing ‘as the spirit leads ’…LOL I’m sure the devil also says that caption. Exams in the air, I mean, I literally can smell it, lemme tell you what it smells like…Have you ever being to a very old library or a place where books have been stored for a very long time? yeahhh that choking smell huh? That’s exactly what exams smell like to me… It smells like heaven to my dear cousin sha, I mean, she says she prefers exams to assignments.     BTW, I’ve got an exam on Thursday, yeah this coming Thursday…Lois!!! stop scaring yourself!!! Okay I’m sure you probabl

THE BEGINNING

  Okay, its Sunday, 3:51 pm, and I'm really bored, so what do I do? I grab a pen(the pen we were given in church) and my journal, the irony of what I'm doing right now is that I honestly do not know what to write, but never mind , I can't be that dull, something will eventually come up, but what? I chew my gum with more force, stare around like there's inspiration written in the air, or on my cute little pink fan,or my wall…Yes! my wall! My freaking wall!     Okay, now I think I can actually write a little about my wall, I'm a very spontaneous person if you know me quite well(I, that woke up one morning and decided to walk all the way to Tonkere and from there to spider, I'll tushen it up by calling it a hike and not just any walk cos I dressed appropriately). Now I'm staring at my wall, I wish I could describe my wall…I actually can, to some extent, I have a blue and white wall paper, but me, being Lois considered it a bit too dull, and then, I decided to
