Blah Blah Blah

I love music with all my heart, body and soul so I’m not here to criticize music or any form of art. I believe music is art besides what have I sang eh? So let me just go straight to the point. There are certain things that amaze me about some songs. You know how you hear some songs and you’re wondering ‘really?’, like when Ellie Goulding said ‘’you’re the color of my blood’’ in her ‘’love me like you do’’ or when Uhuru said ‘’you’re the beginning and the end’’ in Uhuru and Wizkid’s ‘’Ungowami’’ (I don’t know if I spelt it correctly and I’m too lazy to google).

When I heard Ellie Goulding’s phrase, I know she was being deep and all but part of me was asking ‘how can someone be the color of your blood?’, do you mean like blue, black, red or whatever color of blood there is? But Wizkid’s song was supposed to be a love song but his phrase was a ‘’God phrase” as far as I’m concerned but again, that’s a deep phrase, very deep I must say.
Another thing that amuses me is when artists say something like “you gotta come out for this one” in their songs so I’m like ‘which one?’ especially when you said it in the song before that one and the one before that and so on. And when they say something like ‘I usually don’t do this but…’, I’m like ‘sigh, what do you usually do abi what is the ‘this’ that you don’t usually do?’

I remember someone complaining about deejays who says something like ‘’so who’s here to party?’’ at parties. All in all, it’s what makes it interesting, right? So what’s the worst thing that you’ve heard an artist say? Oh I know it’s only in music videos that they promise what they don’t have or they claim to have what they don’t but I’m sure you’ve heard something else I didn’t mention, please share with us.

Dunsin's Kitchen - Second Year Anniversary

I’m not a fan of long WhatsApp posts hence the need to write, post and just share the link on one WhatsApp/Instagram post. I’m a bit rusty (writing-wise) sha but I’ll try. I want to talk about how Dunsin’s Kitchen (DK) started because it’s our second anniversary today. I never imagined being a cook at this time, not with banking and family stress. I’ve imagined selling food a couple of times and it was inspired by one boli and beans seller in Asaba during my NYSC in 2014. I told my friend Osaru then that I’d love to start a place like that and call it Boli Kitchen. We just used to laugh about it then plus I’m not really a fan of beans though I could cook it well if I wanted to. Fast forward to 2020, we had a guest- my husband’s colleague who I served jollof rice and she kept talking about how good it was. One day, she said she would love to buy if I could make it for her so I agreed. Then I decided to ask others if they’d like to buy so I wouldn’t be making a small portion and some agr

My Marriage Story...So Far

I get to be asked about how marriage has been a lot by some of my unmarried friends. I’ve not even been married for long enough to be qualified to answer that question. From my little experience, marriage, like any other phase in life isn’t all smooth. It has its ups and downs. There’s an extra respect you get as soon as you get married. I get to be called MA a lot by people who wouldn’t ordinarily call me that and I’m wondering why. I guess it’s just the way the society has made it. Oh and I lost some friends as soon as I got the MRS title. Some people don’t care about how serious your relationship is, they’d still be on your ‘case’ but as soon as you say “I do”, they’d forget you like you never existed. This was good and bad for me because I considered some to be great friends but then, I guess I was wrong. Then there’s the pressure to get pregnant, I got lucky to get pregnant earlier than I thought though I wasn’t even ready. But before my body began announcing it, I still

Making Your Death Profitable

I read a thread on twitter recently about women whose husbands die and the in-laws take over everything their husband owned and it got me thinking about a lot of things. That is actually the reality in a lot of homes in Nigeria. Husband dies, his family takes over stuff without considering how his wife will cater for the kids. Sometimes, they might even kill the man to get his properties and take over everything including his wife. It’s really sad that people can be so wicked and inconsiderate which is why we need to take some steps to prevent our loved ones from suffering after our demise. It’s very important for a woman to work and have her own investments in different places no matter how rich your husband is. I’ve seen women who become maids after their very rich husband dies and there’s nothing left for them. While you can’t stop any in-law from claiming whatever, you can build yourself up financially so that you won’t be affected financially when death happens to your husb
