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.

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...

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...
