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: good morning, my name is this or that; I’m in this department, in that level
GIRL: (Oh God, all these lame toasters sef, I’m not in the mood joh, fakes a smile) hullo, nice to meet you
BOY: Your name?
GIRL: My name is this or that
BOY: I always see you around, and I just thought to come over to say hello, I’d like to be your friend
GIRL: Oh okay!
BOY: oh btw, I have a girlfriend, and she says she knows you.
GIRL: YAAAAYYYYY! HE doesn’t like me
See how the guy stylishly inserted the fact that he has a girlfriend, that’s awesome!!! so they both know they’re not in for any relationship, it will be annoyingly tragic to find out eventually that the guy has a girlfriend when the girl is already liking the guy… Abeg guys please don’t break our hearts now, make your intentions known, if you want us to be friends, let us be, and if you are interested in the girl in a not-so-platonic level, abeg let her know. Confusion = madness. Even if you don’t have a girlfriend, abi fiancée still make it known, God bless you in advance, ehen it goes the same way for girls, there are some overly touchy-feely girls, abegi please reduce it and don’t lead the poor guy on( it’s called deceit, and no matter how subtle, God hates it)
Thanks for reading my lecture dearies, boobye it’s already 8:51am…

Yorubas; greeting and respect. We do it for the culture!

Feeling: Lazy. Wanna be in bed all day Time : 6:44a.m Lol this post was scheduled for a day in May, but NYSC decided to scatter it. So, I'm just writing it. If you're Nigerian say "yo!" More specifically, if you're Yoruba say "ayyeee." This post is going to be about our culture and one very important aspect of it - Greetings and Respect . I hear that the Yoruba culture is probably the most respectful culture not only in Nigeria, but in the whole world. I wouldn't disagree with that if it's true. The proper way for a girl to greet elders is for her to go down on her knees and for the guys, they prostrate. Imagine during the trad wedding, going to greet the girl's parents and not fully prostrating!!!!  Just know you have forfeited the girl. Growing up, my parents weren't crazy crazy fans of going down fully on your knees to greet them in the morning, though I remember one time, when I was probably 12 or 13, my daddy said we s

Don't rob us of your uniqueness!

Hello everyone, good day, so sorry I couldn't post anything yesterday. Lol it's so very weird posting on a Sunday. So how was church today? And if you didn't go, I hope you rested well, and still had time for God. Before I start, let me say that all these things I write and talk about also apply to me. I'm not one little miss perfect that gets everything right. I'm just a young girl who loves God a whole lot and decides to share with youths the things she's learning. Yup yup, so I'll just go straight into what I'll talk about today, which is about embracing our uniqueness. Yaayy!! I guess we all know the meaning of uniqueness right? Mhm. There was a day I was thinking, and I just thought, (like it just dropped!!) there's only one MARQUIS FIFEOLUWAHAN LOIS OLUWASEYITAN on this planet!!!! I couldn't believe it. It's not only about the names. Nobody on this planet has my finger prints, I even think we all have different genes. Does anyone ev

On dark tunnels and periods of uncertainty...

Feeling: Better than I was last week. Time: 6:47am. I'm not sure if you remember quite well, but, sometime last week I said I was feeling bland, and I said I'd try to explain it. You see, as time went on I discovered 'bland' was a very not-so-perfect way to describe how I felt. I was super unhappy, I couldn't just put a pin to the feeling at the time. Oh, not to worry,  I'm super... okay maybe not super fine, but I'm fine. Maybe I'm super fine. So, like I said last week was not the best. I cried a lot. It's one of the ways I know how to get pressure off me. I'd burst if I don't cry. (You'll rather see me cry than burst hmn?) One of the saddest things in life is knowing your purpose in life and not knowing how to get about it. How to kick-start it. How to give it a little nudge. I'm kinda at that stage. I have never liked the idea of a graduate sitting at home and doing nothing. It irks me. Annoys me. Pisses me off. It
