Yes. No. Maybe

Yes, I miss you

No, not enough to tell you

Maybe if you can show that the feeling is mutual, I will

Yes, you like my company

No, what else was I thinking you’d like?

Maybe, just maybe you might like something else soon

Yes, it’s a new week

No, I’m not anxious to see you

Maybe bumping into you someplace will do just fine

Yes, we’re past that, I know

No, yes, I said no again

Maybe if you were more ‘into’ me, I’d say yes

Yes, yes?

No, n-no please

Maybe or maybe not, I like it here
Yes, I heard you the first time

No, I don’t feel the same way yet

Maybe…..no maybes

Yes, I got your gift

No, I mean yes, I love it

Maybe I should get you a gift too sometime

Yes, I’ll be ready by eight

No, you can pick me up by nine instead

Maybe it’ll be fun, let’s see

Yes, it’s been two years, can you believe it?

No, me too

Maybe I’ve eventually fallen for you

Yes, you can come over

No, you can spend the night

Maybe some other time

Yes, I know right?

No, I mean wait? Did you just pop the question?

Maybe….oh my God!

Yes, yes, yes, yes

No, I mean yes, I love you too

Maybe we can live happily ever after

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
