Five Fears Nigerians Can Relate To

We all have some things we dread, not exactly life threatening but we consider it as a threat to our happiness sometimes or even as a threat to our normal routine. Sometimes putting us in a fix we never envisaged. I listed some of these things and I’m sure you’d agree with me that you dread a couple of them;

Low battery

Even if I don’t have internet connection, I still want a full bar I can use to play games or listen to music. I’m one of those people who will still charge my phone at 99 percent because 99 isn’t just 100. Once my battery drops to 70 percent, I’m already looking for the next spot to charge. The first place I look for everywhere I go is a charging spot, if there’s light that is. Otherwise, I’ll just use my power bank.

Not finding a toilet when purging

This one is really scary for me. It’s the reason I don’t eat or drink when going for an interview or a long trip. I just can’t risk it. If you’ve ever gotten the urge to take a poo at an unexpected time and you were lucky enough to find a toilet, you’ll agree with me that finding a toilet at the right time is indeed a blessing.

Slow internet

I personally hate slow internet with passion. It has pushed me to wanting to smash my phone against the wall but when I consider how much it’ll take for me to fix or replace it, I calm down for Jesus. So the next time it happens, I just play games, music or ignore the phone until it comes back to its senses.

Forgetting your wallet

Most guys usually fear this. I’ve been lucky here because every time I forget my purse, I’m always with a friend that can pay on my behalf or give me transport to get to my destination. It give one a mini heart attack especially when you’re already in a bus and you think about the best way to explain your predicament to the stone cold conductor that has taken it upon himself to prove to the passengers that he will not tolerate nonsense.

The missing period

When your girlfriend says she just missed her period, your heart skips a bit and if you’re the girlfriend who missed her period, your heart will probably be running marathon. All signs will lead to being pregnant. Eating too much = pregnant, sleeping too much = pregnant, being emotional = pregnant, etc. until she discovers that her cycle just changed and gets her period two weeks later or she just has to inform her boyfriend that he’s about to be a daddy. Whatever they decide to do from that point becomes their challenge.

So which of the fears can you relate to? Do share with us. Remember, I love you for reading.

Who Says There Are No Pervs In Church?

Dear OTTH readers, how are we? I spent my weekend resting and going through dorisaniunoh.blogspot.com, you know as a writer, one shouldn't depend on themselves, so every now and then, I go through other blogs because not only do I learn a lot from them, they also inspire me to write something. I love reading from Doris' blog because like me, she writes real life stuff, something I could actually relate to not how Davido got robbed and the likes. I've been meaning to write about this in a while but procrastination won't let me but today I have bound the spirit hence here it is. I'm certain we all know who a perv is but just incase we don't, perv is the shortform for the word "pervert" and it refers to someone who's sexually obsessed according to Google and that's about what it means so I guess we all get the picture and we'd understand better as we proceed. I've always thought pastors would at least act like pastors no matter the tempt...

Love With Blood?

Dear OTTH readers, I hope we're good because I'm very fine. You know me and the things that bother me, lol. The other day, I was discussing with Anuli (CEO, Iluna photography) about how I think it's abnormal to have sexual relations with any member of ones family and she made a point by saying that it's a norm in some places #onemansmeat...you know the drill but that it doesn't make it right. I understand that people crush on their cousins and all and I also understand that my culture might be a taboo someplace else but haba! Why would you have sexual relations with your family member? I used to think it was always sexual abuse when things like that happen but I've found out that people actually do it with pride and talk about it without shame. I remember someone telling me how he makes out with his cousin and he loves her so much and I'm like gfhdsshgk? Over the years, I've heard and I still hear of different cases of incest and it was beginning t...

Mirabel's Dairy

My name is Mirabel Blakewood, I'm 20 years old. My parents died when I was 6 in a car accident on the 25th of July, 2001 and I've been living with Maternal Grandmother until she also passed away when I was 15. I still stay at my Grandmother's till date. I'm quite tall, I have brown eyes just like my Dad's. I remember it when he used to read me bedtime stories, I would stare deep into his eyes till I fell asleep. I keep a small circle of friends - Jeff, Sarah, Lionel and Amy. We've been friends since we were kids. They've been my family too. My Grandmother was a very quiet woman, she was a woman of noble mien. She had no friends and she barely spoke to anyone. She would say hello to few people after the service on Sunday then be back to her normal withdrawn self. There was something my Grandma passed on to me, it's called the Peth spirit. It was passed on to her by her mother when she was dying but my Mum didn't live long enough for it to b...
