Crushes

We've all had,presently have and will definitely still have crushes
I still remember my first crush vividly
I was in primary three at the time
He walked into my class with his very elder brother as he was coming to the class for the first time as a new student.
I couldn't take my eyes off him, he was the finest boy I had ever seen at the time.
He was dark, tall, very cute, his hairstyle was errrr, I think it's the one they call punk, he wore a blue jean and a long-sleeved striped shirt with a canvas to match.
My class teacher, Mrs Awe then told him to sit beside me. It was almost unbelievable, a whole me with this boy I couldn't take my eyes off, he was very charming.
As time went on, we grew very close. We did almost everything together except eating, everyone in class began to call us "my only, my only", I'm still laughing now as I'm reminiscing, it was a sweet experience until one day he just disappeared. I was worried but there was little or nothing I could do, no one knew where he was then I later discovered that he wrote his common entrance in primary three so he was in jss1 when I was in primary four, so his chapter closed there. I used to see him once in a while after that though and the feelings were still there, I even dreamt about getting married to him twice, well, that's that.

So my second crush, hmmmm, it was during my school's holiday coaching into a new class.i.e, jss3 to ss1. He wasn't a student of my school but he attended my school's coaching which was how we met. He was very cute, tall and had a very sexy smile and laugh. Could hardly stop staring at him although I tried my best to make sure he didn't notice. We eventually became friends and I realised looks could be deceiving most times because he wasn't the way I imagined.

Didn't have any other serious crush for some years until I entered the university. I was crushing on more than one person at the time soo no gist about it. I'm crushing on some people right now though but they're people I can hardly reach, let me tell you some, I'm crushing on Jason Derulo, I'm sure you know him, the super sexy tall dark guy with the amazing voice and there's Sam Smith, my love for him is hmmmMmm, I can't explain it myself, his voice is bliss, his voice has made me cry on many occasions.

There's just one lesson I've learned in all my crushing, and I think it applies to most of us. Most of the time, our crush isn't as sweet as we think he/she is but because we're smitten, we can hardly see our crushes for who they truly are which is why we should take our time to know them before making serious mistakes.

Tenderfoots just conclude that the feelings should be acted upon immediately the crush comes but it shouldn't be that way. The longest crush lasts 6 months, so I heard, if your crush lasts long enough, then it's probably time to act upon it. I should probably act on mine though but where can I find Sam Smith?, I'd let you know when I do.

Tout a l'heure.

I got to find out crush crashes. But girl you bad....at primary 3 you already know what man/crush/love is Lol. And you said he was carrying a punk hairstyle *mouth wide opened* at what century a beg.
Hope this is not a script or movie Lol

How I kill my crush is that I tell myself, its gonna die off and they won't meet up to my expectations cos they humans....most times crushes got some excesses we can't deal with...believe me I can't pardon such...so I put a dynamite and blow off the crush
Lol, I had more than one so I don't think the gist would end if I start
I knew punk maybe because of my brothers, its not a script, it's real!. All you said is very true, thank you.

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
