Fifi's diary

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:  Energetic and hungry Time: 9:21a.m. Today’s post is giving me goosebumps, because I’m so excited!!! It’s a featured post!!!   In this age, CO LIVING  doesn’t seem to be a new thing, it’s like everybody is into  it. It’s like a norm. I really didn’t want this post to seem subjective, so I asked not one, but many people this question, ' what do you think of co living. Like a guy and a girl are dating, but they live together . What’s your take on it, and why do you think they do it?' So, let’s hear from teens, singles (by singles, I don’t mean not in a relationship) and married peeps what they have to say concerning this issue. *rubs hands dramatically. Single ladies first. Ore  “It’s wrong. What’s wrong is wrong. I feel like a girl might lose her dignity and value that way. ” Fifi : Okay, what if they have plans to get married? After all, they’ll still live together when they get married. They might as well just start it yeah? Ore: It is still

Feeling: Really sleepy  Time: 12:12a.m One thing that makes me really uncomfortable is visiting people. It's a huge chore for me, I'd rather stay in my room all day with my phone and note pads, a book to read and loads of junk. I could be indoors for a whole week. I dunno if this is an entirely bad thing, but I really love my space which makes it hard for me to be the best host. This one, I know is not really cool. I remember when I was at home, and my parents told us we were going to have  a guest. I was the only one that had a problem with it. We had to move to the boys' room temporarily (Dang!)  I'd do extra and earlier cooking (noo) I would not have mom to myself anymore (maddening). I probably just don't like all the hustle and bustle that comes along with having a guest. Being kind doesn't necessarily mean giving people physical stuff, giving people your time could be a form of kindness. In this area, I could be  very selfish, especially when I do

Feeling: Really Happy Time: 3:57 p.m So everyone is crazy about coconut oil. They've seen the wonders it does to the skin, hair and body ( ingestion wise.) I really love coconut oil, cause of the things i know can be done with it. Unfortunately, we ave so many fake products. I saw one yesterday, looked like antiseptic. However, there are really original ones. You'll know from the heavenly smell. So, I checked the Internet to get benefits of coconut oil, which I'll really like to share with you. So, let's dive right in babies!!!! Benefits of coconut oil. * FASTER growth!! Okay, I  really don't know how true this cos my hair is already full, but other people have testified to the validity of this point. * You see, the hair needs fat, but not just any kind of fat. HEALTHY FAT, and trust me, it gives your hair fat. * It prevents SPLIT ENDS. This isn't a lie. For a while now (a really long while) I haven't been using coconut oil, and to my shock

Feeling : Quite Unhappy Time: 7:08 a.m Hullo, how've you all been? Me? I've been okay too. I know you want to know why I'm feeling unhappy. Well, it's because I've not been able to write much. I was posted to Tsaragi in Kwara, and for like four days there was no light. Man!! I wasn't cool with it, but it's been fixed, I hope I'll be able to write more. So, the last time I think I told you that I was going to tell you guys about my activities on camp and general living (I'm not too sure, okay, just confirmed from the blogger app which became useful for once.) So, I think I wrote out my schedule here the last time. That's what we were supposed to be doing all the time, (Yaaay!!! there's light!!) but Ore and I had a different schedule. We never had breakfast. It was quite disgusting to us. Bread ( we tasted it once, it was like cardboard) and hot water (this was supposed to be hot chocolate bahahahaha) or some awful looking porridge. Ins
