Constantly

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.

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...

Feeling: Confused (should I go back to bed or not?) Time:7:05pm I've been wanting to talk about this for a week. Not necessarily because of our Independence Day, the state of Nigeria is always on my mind. I very much understand that Nigeria is not where it should be. It feels like we should be at the university level,  but somehow, just somehow we're still in primary six.  Sigh* It's sad. Disheartening, actually. I understand. We pour out our frustrations a lot, and that's okay, I mean, if no one is complaining, then something is wrong, but we know that sometimes, complaints don't do much, they actually worsen the situation. Especially complaints that aren't backed with the right actions. I don't fancy it much when everyone sits back and complains on twitter. You're complaining on twitter but aren't doing much in reality to help our nation, or let's even say your community, if that's too large, let's say your neighbor. Not a li...

My battle with greed.

Heyerr , welcome to Fifi's diary. It's been so long. I almost didn't write this , cause I'm not feeling too good. But the devil is a LIAR tehehe . Last  week I wanted to write this , but I had to go make my hair. Let's dive right in 👇 If you're in Nigeria , you must have been hearing about different Pontiac schemes Yeah?  Oh my!  It all started last year, fresh from Uganda , went to my former school (UNI)  and my friend told me about MMM, a Ponzi scheme . Everyone was doing it. She told me about how the thing triples your money and blah blah. I'm not one to do all those things, but dang I was so broke , the battle was strong  lol. My brother asked if I heard about it. I told him I wasn't interested . Oh I was, but the risk and fears won't let me do it freely.  Also when I was young there was this story I read about the money doubler or something like that, the guy doubled people's money and eventually it was all fake. To be honest with ...
