Addiction

I'm sure we all know what addiction means or at least must have heard about it or read about it or maybe, maybe we are addicted to something or someone.
I think we are all addicts, I mean, there is something you always want to do or someone you always want to be with. Think about it, it won't take you long before your addiction becomes clear to you.
Personally I'm addicted to music, I just love music and I crave it all the time. You can hardly see me without my headphones, I don't care if my battery is running out though it doesn't because I do everything possible to keep the music playing.
Some people are addicted to drugs, social media, fashion, art, nature, research, adventure, the list is endless. They crave for it all the time probably because it completes them or because they think it does.

Yes, we are addicted to whatever because we feel we are incomplete without it but it shouldn't stop there. I'm not judging but I think some of us are addicted to certain things more than is required.

Have you ever thought for a second about what your addiction is doing to you?
Have you ever pictured yourself without your addiction and what was the image like?
What does it cost you to be addicted?
How does your addiction make you a better person?
How does it make you a good influence to others?
What brought about your addiction?
How much time/energy/resources do you spend on your adventurous trips, following fashion trends, drugs etc, think about it.
Is your addiction worth the pain?

You keep killing it mehn. Personal and self evaluation is what we need to do at all time. Either in the bathroom, kitchen, school, church, bus station....anywhere and everywhere we need to just keep thinking on how best we can live and set a new cooler record from the previous day.
Stay clean, stay healthy n live happy. (I mean the Godly kind of happy)

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

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

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
