Fifi's diary

Hello, wow!!! End of a new year!!!!  I totally forgot I'm supposed to post today, but today ain't gone yet sooo... Guys, we've all gone through so much this year, I know I have, would have liked to share some of the things but blehhh, I like my privacy. I really do not have much to say, but I'd like to give us advice for the next year, which is just another day. These are not resolutions,just things we can tell God to help you with everyday of our lives. *stay true to yourself. *Have a beautiful Friendship (God gave me the opportunity to have one of the best friends in the world, and I was blessed,I am still blessed sef.) * L earn to be thankful (we complain too much) *Trust God. Wow!! I have no right to tell people to do this, cos I'm learning this everyday, no matter how hard it seems, just trust God. Trust his word. Just remembered Abraham and the issue of Sacrificing of Isaac. He trusted that God would provide a lamb. His faith didn't waver. *Think les

Hi guyysss, So sorry I didn't post during the weekend, was sooooo busyyyy. But I have something for you. Many of us are trying to create good habits for ourselves right?  And it just seems so hard, like why can't I keep up?  Am I that undisciplined? Well, you're not totally. I also face that struggle a lot. But I have a suggestion. I hear it takes 21 - 66 days to create a habit till it forms in you. Okay, yeah, so we'll employ that, the only difference is that we'll involve God. We'll pray that God gives us strength to go through with it. So whatever it is, that you want to work on, I assure you, it's totally possible. And it'll be easier knowing people are with you on it.  So, here's me introducing to you the #66dayschallenge. If it's about eating healthy, you can employ this, if it's about working out in your room, or going to the gym, if it's about studying your Bible, you can do this. With God, all things are possible!! You have to

Dear readers/friends I didn't write an address, cos this is the highest level of informality. So, good day guys. I'm really grateful for every single person that reads this blog. Every single one of you. You may not know it, but you've all given me a sense of purpose (like, God used you guys greatly). Your constant support even after my rude(which wasn't cool) but much needed break wowed me. God bless you all. Now, let me tell you something that I've only told one person. I started this blog because I wanted to make money. I know right. I was with my friends, and we were talking about what to do immediately after school,and the blog thing came up, and I'm like "hell Yeah, why not?" so, I started. I tried to set up the Adsense (that's how you make money by blogging) it didn't work, I was mad. Eventually I saw I couldn't do it, so I just continued writing,and trust me when I tell you that knowing that you guys that learn from me is a lot m

Hello guyss, how are y'all doing?  Hope you had a fab week? Thank God. So yeah, straight into what I'll be talking about today.  It's a little personal, not really gan sef, but I kinda like to make a big deal out of little things (okay, not really), but then as I'm typing right now, I'm thinking of all the people that might see this, who cares sha?  I'll be talking about my graduation. Yaayy!!!!  Guess who left school finally. I know some of you might be thinking "I thought she was done" Yeah I waa , we just did the whole ceremonial thing. I Graduated from the department of English, yeah, B.A English (feels so cool saying that). The thing is I graduated with a third class. When I first saw this, I was very very very very unhappy. My parents weren't (Yeah, they are amazing like that)  they tried to encourage me o, but it didn't work, or maybe it did, eventually. I think I felt worse because I just really wanted to impress them. I  didn't

Another Sunday post LOL, how are y'all doing? I have a question to ask. Why?  Just why? Does everything have to be sexualized I really really have been trying to figure this out in my mind for some weeks now. Why do we have to make it a point to make everything appeal to our err sensuality?  Maybe it's because of the world we live in. I saw an advert recently (this was what triggered this write-up), this advert was for an NGO, they reach out to poor children. Normally, one would have expected a picture of poor children or something that relates to helping them. That's not what me I saw o (I'm clicking my tongue and shaking my head right now) the image used was of a woman wearing a camisole (that didn't even cover all her bust)  looking sexy and all. I really wish I could put the picture here, but It'll be rude, plus it's actually none of my business. The other day I saw (in Ibadan here) the billboard of a computer shop ( just a local computer shop, you g

Hi guyss, I feel sooo sleepy and lazy to write, but I have toooo, I hope y'all are good though and had a fab week? Hope you enjoyed black Friday? (of course, see your face😁). So going ahead to today's topic. It's a topic most of us battle with, okay, lemme say many not most.  It's peer pressure. It'll be long o😘. Somehow, it affects people from different age groups. When I was a kid, there was one particular kind of shoe all the big rich girls had, how I wanted this shoe so badly, not for any reason other than the fact that it was the in thing, but I couldn't even tell my mom cos I knew she couldn't afford it, so I just had to let the pressure get off my chest. I'm sure that of we were rich ehn, I would have disturbed my mom's life. That's that. As a teenager, all your girlfriends are talking about the boyfriends they have, and they constantly talk about their make out sessions, then you think silently "Oh God! I want a boyfriend so ba

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

Hi guys,  how have we all been? Yeah, so, I really don't have much to say. I'm sooo sorry.  And I'm also sorry this is coming in really late. 😘 Yeah, so today, I'll say something short on the way we use Social media. Kilodeeee?? !!!!  Mind you, I'm talking to myself as well.  But damn! The rate at which we (youths majorly) use social media is quite alarming. Almost everyone is always on their phones (looking at other people that'll never affect their lives in any way). I'll use myself as an illustration, so it won't be as though I'm pointing fingers. The amount of time I spend on Instagram (because it's the only cool app I know how to use) is just UNHEALTHY. I think I have an excuse though, I'm always at home and there's always no one to talk to😖, so in a bid to keep me a little sane, I just check out funny videos (that make me laugh insanely), pictures of celebs and other people who (btw,I stalk a lot, so be warned) don't have a

Yeah, you've probably heard that Yoruba phrase countless times. My dad's a teacher/preacher lol I dunno which ( he said he'll explain it to me fully later), but sha the public calls him "pastor"  which automatically means that I'm an "omo pastor". Now, it's not that I don't like that my dad is a pastor, I'm cool with it, but what I don't like is that I'm tagged "omo pastor". Why's it that the doctor's child isn't called "omo doctor" or the engineer's child "omo engineer ". I'll tell you why I don't like it. Not only for me, but for the other "omo pastors", but first, I'd like to tell you that it's the pastors God called, not the children. You must have heard people say that  pastors children are worse than other kids. I don't believe it. I'm not saying I'm a saint or anything, I'm far from that, but do you know why it would seem as though th

Hi friends , I hope you all had a splendid week?  I had a great week as well, thank God. Yeah, so, moving on to what I'll talk about today. It's going to be quite short LOL (Yeah, I'll spare you my long talks. Just for now though), and it might be long. Who knows? I'll be talking about one amazing fruit of the spirit, and that fruit of the spirit issss *drumroll* KINDNESS!!!  Before I start though there's one song I used to sing as a kid. Lemme just write out the lyrics (it's not long) Sing a song of Joy Sing a song of happiness Do a deed of kindness today Do a deed of kindness  Do a deed of Kindness everyday THE END (not the end of this post o) Many of us know that as Christians, we should be kind and all, because it shows the Holy Spirit is in us, but how many of us are actually kind? It should be who we are. Kindness isn't until you give someone one million dollars, naira or pounds. You don't have to have a lot until you're kind.  It th

Heyerr, hope we all had a splendid week? Yeah, so last week I didn't say expressly what I'll be talking about this week. Told y'all to guess, I wonder how many of you got it right lol. It's FashioN !!! If you love looking gorgeous, please signify oo. I like feeling like a slay queen lol, but, well there are quite a number of buts. *I'm an indoorsy person (whatever that means, try to figure it out on your own.) *Sometimes, I really am too lazy. Lol. Okay, just two buts. Lemme tell you what I like when it comes to fashion items and all. *sneakers (they are way too cute and comfy) *heels ( because I can't wear sneakers or slippers always on like every outfit, I have to go for heels too, you know, slay 'em all. TBH though, I always take a pair of slippers along. Plenty girls do, don't come and be forming  here) *Trousers/pants (whatever very easy to wear and comfy)  *Dresses (what's not to love?  From girly dresses to formal dresses) *Shirrtt

Okay, I hope no one is pissed I went off without telling. You have a right to be though. I stopped writing for different reasons, some stronger than the others. #1 I was just not in the mood for writing anymore #2 I felt really lazzyyy #3 I kinda felt like "is this thing even helping anyone" So, when I stopped and people asked me why, I gave the first reason. I'm guessing you want to know why I picked it up again. Well, here's why. I've always wanted to help young people with the little I know. There are many young people who need someone to talk to and all, or someone that can relate with whatever it is they are dealing with. That's one of the reasons why I started the blog in the first place. I want to make a mark in people's lives and in the world. I just checked out my blog this night, and I found out that even after I stopped writing, people have been reading.  I was touched, honestly (why am I getting all emotional? lol). There's something

Hello dear friend how's your week going? well, mine's been going fine, thank God. I was reading a book some minutes ago about teenagers and then my mind wandered and I decided to write about what I was thinking about. Seriously guys, I have a question, why is virginity considered a stigma? In case you have not noticed, most people aren't all that proud to associate themselves with the word. This world is becoming worse every second, every day, and we have young ones growing and being brought up with this sickening mindset. You see, I once had an encounter with a guy, who was interested in me and then one talk led to another and he said "ah you! Its obvious you're a virgin" in such a derogatory tone, I was stunned. I was probably sixteen and shocked to find out its a sin to be a virgin, after all, we were all raised to believe you remain a virgin till your wedding night (really though, why does it have to be the wedding night, can't it be like two days aft

Hello guys, I finally decided to put laziness aside and write. I hope you all have been amazing?  Not saying much tonight, just enough to talk about miracles, and no, I'm not talking about all those ones where demons would be cast out and blah, not like Im downplaying them either. I want to talk about the little miracles we experience each day. When we look and think deeply, well see that they are not so little, in fact, they are big miracles. I was watching something on BBC some days back, and there was this lady who was paralysed, her whole body, save her head was functioning. She couldnt use her hands or legs. They were lifeless. The lady could only use her tongue to type on her phone; can you imagine how stressful that could be? Most of us dont realize that being able to do what we do is a miracle. When we breathe, its a miracle, when we walk, its a miracle. When we talk, its a miracle. When we commute safely from one place to another, no matter the distance, without an accid

Hi guys, it’s been quite a while, I’m sorry I left y’all hanging after forever, I have no genuine excuse. I hope you forgive me *kisses. Today I was thinking heavily about what to write, and I had no idea until I asked God to help and then, BANG!!!  The inspiration fell like manna from heaven, tehehe. Anyways, I thought to write on something that means a lot to me.   Guess!!! Nah you’re wrong, no more guesses. I want to talk briefly on Family. What does Family mean to you? Come to think of it, I vaguely remember it being taught as a topic in social studies in primary school, do you? My family means so much to me. Truthfully, they are not always the sweetest (they can be a real pain in the ass), but I know they’ve always got my back. They always want the best for me. You know the beautiful thing? God treasures family, he put the structure in place. The father being the head of the house and so on. Ephesians 6 verse 1-4 talks about the duties of everyone, but it doesn’t talk about the

He tells me I am beautiful. Constantly. It weirds me out. Constantly. I tell him that. Constantly. Now he won't compliment me constantly. I would now crave for it. Constantly. -Lois

Dear Diary,       I feel really quiet this morning, I wonder why. perhaps, many things are running through my mind( Im human, that definitely needs to happen) Im supposed to be out doing stuff, or sleeping( you know how much I love sleep), but then, Im bothered about something. We all talk you know, but do we communicate? Yeah, Im bothered about communication. Ive heard several times that communication is important in life and relationships (all kinds of relationships), yeah I know.  We all have things that we never say out loud, things that have to be said out loud ironically.     You know, If theres any skill I lack in life, its the ability to communicate ( Jeez I just remembered I have a meeting with somebody who wants to know me more, but Ive been procrastinating because Im scared Ill have nothing to say.). So, as I was saying, Im lacking in that skill, but Im trying really hard to work on it. I pride myself in the fact that I could be talkative, its only if you know me well you

Good morning everyone, its been a long while my friends, pardons.  Ive been all about final exams, project, and all. Im done with my exams yaay!!! But I wont say Im a graduate, at least not until Ive been cleared from this school. God!! Id have so much free time that I hope to maximise. So, how have you been? Ive really missed writing and talking to you guys. Theres something new with me , and Im really excited about it  its my relationship with God, I like how I flow with him now, its different. A good kind of different and I hope it goes on like this, and even exceeds this. I was just thinking about what to talk about when it was dropped in my heart to talk about forgiveness.  Yeah, I know, I understand. Someone has caused you great grievances, and the whole world is screaming FORGIVE FORGIVE FORGIVE!! And youre like can you take a chill pill, world? But no one seems to understand. I wont pretend to fully understand, but I can be real enough to offer the truth. Lets give a scenario

Hi guys, it’s been forever since I’ve written, and I’m deeply sorry. I know that I shouldn’t have any excuse, but I do have. My excuses are as follows: I have been working on my project/dissertation, I have had what you may call a writer’s block (like for reals, I didn’t know what to write about), I have not been myself in one weird way, but I’m back, I know that my excuses mean nothing, but please forgive me. Okay, what am I going to talk about today?(trying to think of stuff). Meanwhile, I don’t think I’ve told you this; I’ll be done with school in 34 days wohoooo!!! (I feel kinda ill right now). Okay, I know what to write about, but I honestly don’t feel like it. I want to talk about TNG (I know you guys think it’s one big deal, nah) it simply means THE NEXT GENERATION, I just wanted it to seem fancy lool. So, the next generation is what I’ll be talking about. Often times, we are at logger heads with our parents, we want something for ourselves, and they want something entirely

Good morning people, (I hope it’s still morning when I post this). Okay, newsflash: I’m in school; I don’t have any class on Thursdays yaayy!! I hope y’all had a beautiful night, cos I did, except that my head is kinda aching( it can’t be because of the music from my headphones can it? I don’t even think so), but whatever, (Okay I was about to say I didn’t know what to write, when i remembered I had a request from one of our readers.) He asked me what True love means to me, and which I would prefer between finding the love of my life and having a billion dollars.    Answering time, Lemme first answer the seemingly easy one, which is the second one. Okay, FINDING means ‘to encounter or discover something being searched for; to locate. So, the first thing I’ll say is that I won’t find true love, true love would find me, I’m not in the business of looking for true love, trying to look for a scripture (God bless Bukola) , found it, Prov18:22 says that “he who finds a wife finds what is go

I Hi guys, okay wait, lemme do this – FIRST POST OF THE YEAARRRR🙌🙌 !!!  JESSSUUUUSSSSS!!! I am making boli, and it has burnt mo daran!! Anyways, being the expert I am, I have cut off all the parts that got burnt and turned the plantain over (phew) Chai!! Okay that is over by God’s grace, let’s move on. I have an exciting news to share with you guys, the news is worth more than hundred pounds of chocolate (and i loooove chocolate.) WE ARE RESUMING ON SUNDAY!!!! It may not seem like news to you, but it is to me, it’s the best. #sorrynotsorry This holiday was one dryyyy holiday, it was boring to the max, full of work, no exaggeration here, it was just so oh my God, but I’ve been made to realize it’s all a grooming period for me😌. My brother said that it’ll make husband love me more😀😀, lool, my dad said it will make me stronger 💪. God!!! I miss my fam, but whatevs I’ll see them this year!!! Yaaaayy. If there’s one thing I have taken with me from this period, it’s Rom 12:21, it’s sim
