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...

Na From Clap, Dance Dey Start

Good morning my loves, welcome to 2016. This is our first post this year so I’m supposed to be very excited but the issue I want to discuss is not one that gives room for such excitement. Of course, I’m excited that you can read this right now, that you came all the way from 2015 into 2016. It wasn’t an easy trip but we’re all here finally. Thank you so much for your love. Now to the business of the day. In a world of women and men, yes I put women first because I’m a woman just in case you were wondering why or maybe you didn’t even notice, the fate of a woman depends on the woman not the man and this is no merlin line. I’m really hurt right now and I’m too hurt to not speak up. I’m not a romantic person for reasons I don’t know but for some reason I’m grateful for it. I’m saying this because I’ve seen what people call love in action and it makes me wonder if it really is love. I’m not going to dispute the fact that I’ve also made my mistakes, I mean, we all have our stupid moments ...

The Hustle Of Many Colors

We are all "hustlers" before we become "chillers" whether we want to admit it or not. Some of us are in the corporate world, some on the streets, some in market places and some are in places I can't name. Some of us are dressed in suits, some in rags, some are dressed casually while some are dressed in clothes I can't even classify under any of the aforementioned categories. When I see people put up pictures saying "Lord bless my hustle" or "Oluwa bless my hustle", I just say 'amen' on behalf of whoever put up the picture. I'm very emotional right now because I've seen hustle at its peak. I remember entering a bus somewhere, I was the only passenger in the bus. The conductor did everything possible to get more passengers but all his efforts proved abortive. The driver then said "sorry aunty, we no dey go, we no see passenger" and I had to go with another bus. I could see the disappointment on his face, I wished...
