Imponderables

Staring into the darkness in a way that depicts I understand it but do I really?

Trying to ponder on the imponderables leaving out the possibility of a higher being responsible for things unexplainable, I curiously think on...

How do I explain the concept behind the creation of the heaven and the earth?

How do I understand the mystery of life and death?

How does someone just live today and die tomorrow?

What happens after our death?

Where do we go to when we die?

When is the poor going to be as rich as the rich?

Will they ever?

Why do we want to be rich?

How do we measure riches?

How rich is rich?

Why do we go through challenges?


If it's to make us stronger, aren't we strong enough yet?

What are we trying to be strong for or against?

Why do we lie?

To save our own face or someone else's or just for the love we have for lying?

Why do we cry?

To express joy or sadness or a mixture of both?

What is love?

How do we know when we are in love?

Is it the same signs with everyone or does it differ according to our different personalities?

Why do bad things happen to good people?

How do we even know good people?

What makes a person a good person?

What is good and what is bad?

How do we even know when something or someone is good or bad?

Is it because the society says so or because we individually think so?

Who is the society?

Who makes the rules?

Is it we or the government?

Who are we?

Who's the government?

Who does the rule favor? Everyone?

Or a few privileged?

What qualifies you to be privileged or less privileged?

Who are you?

What makes you who you are?

What differentiates you from others?

I could go on and on but I'd like to take a break.

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...

My End Of The Year Note

Dear OTTH Readers, how are we? I'm very fine and I can smell 2016 already afterall it's just some hours from now so I guess I'd just use this medium to say merry Christmas in arrears and happy new year in advance. I hope we all "shouted out" to our uncles and aunties, class teachers, lol, don't mind me. I'm sure we remember those Christmas funfairs where kids shout out to their loved ones where some even cry while talking, it's very hilarious watching them. Okay, now to the reason we're here. This year wasn't so bad for me though it didn't start so well but I have a lot to be thankful for and I'm going to share them with you. Let's start with the negatives so the story can have a good ending. For about half of the year, I was jobless which means I was frustrated, broke, you know the drill. Recently too, I lost my school's Vice Chancellor, Mrs. Esther Tchokatcheu who played a very important role in the process of my being a gr...
