Leave LOL Out Of This



Shout out to lol for being there for me in times when I had nothing else to type in response to a chat. Yes I said type because you're supposed to type it or act it not say it like my friend Bisi who will say lol in the middle of a telephone conversation if she finds something funny rather than just laugh out loud. A lot of people complain that I lol too much but when you ask like seven questions and you end with a lol, what do you expect in response, seven answers? You must be joking because even interviewers don't ask seven questions these days except if its two or more interviewers.

Okay let's leave lol alone, what's up with people telling you to cook for two or eat for two, bla bla ish. I'll tell my friends (especially Dayo) who ask what I had just eaten and he'll say where's my own? I'll say something like "it's in the pot" or "it is finished (like our Saviour said, lol)" and some would want to protest but in my mind, I'm like "really?", since when are we able to share food via social media apart from sharing the pictures of the meal? Sigh, I'm tired.


Stop telling young people to age with grace on their birthdays, Amaka has been shouting since God knows when. When I first saw someone wishing another person to age with grace, I thought "oh, this is new" but when I saw someone who wrote "happy earth strong", I was like "Toh, they've brought another one" because I'm sorry I don't know if I'm supposed to know what that means but I don't. When did "happy birthday, long life and prosperity" go out of fashion? I don't know too so don't even look at me.

One last thing, someone should please explain what happy earth strong means to me. Are you wishing the person strong earth? to be strong for the earth? Or that the earth should be strong for the person? I really don't understand so if you know, please epp, I mean help with an explanation.

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...
