Looking The Part

Being rich is relative, the person you think is rich is seeing another person as rich who's also seeing another person as rich and so on. I'm not even talking about being rich in your heart, wisdom or beauty; I'm talking about money rich. It's hard to tell the source of income of a lot of people especially when they seem to be getting more than they work for. We still wish somehow to have what they have. Basically, the difference between a rich and poor man apart from their mentality is the money. Not everyone has "obvious" money but they are sometimes perceived as rich, someone like me *pops collar*. So what if you don't have the money, how do you carry yourself to almost fit the 'rich' profile without spending the money?

Dress well; It all starts from your looks, bend down boutiques are still very much in business so patronize them according to your pocket and make good choices. Looking good doesn’t have to be expensive. Besides, these people you see as rich shop from the BB boutiques too so what are you waiting for?


Don’t freak out when you see ‘richies’ (wealth associated things, places or people); When you see celebrities, don’t tear your shirt, calm down, they’re human too. I remember my Pastor telling us about one guy who prostrated for a jeep because its ‘big man’ car. No, don’t do that, just keep your calm.

Tell people your money is budgeted instead of saying you're broke; You don’t want to be that person who’s always broke but we all get to be broke sometime just that someone’s ‘broke-ness’ might be another person's ‘too much money’. My point, you can’t help being broke but don’t announce it all the time, just say your money is budgeted for something else instead.

Don’t explain why you like cheap stuff; I’ve come to realize that expensive stuffs aren’t necessarily quality so if you feel this way too, it’s very normal but don’t explain yourself. As long as you’re satisfied with the product or service, that’s all you need.

Mind your business; Nobody really progresses by putting their noses in other people’s businesses so just face your life, be conscious of other happenings around you but don’t let it bother you. Yes, minding your business is very sexy, that’s the way to go if you’re not on that path yet.

Socialize; This is something I personally need to work on. Meet people, know people, make friends, connections et al. Keep in touch once in a while with the people in your life. See yourself as important and carry yourself as such wherever you are. You might get to be friends with ‘rich’ people and maybe be really as rich or be mistaken as one.

Save money; I cannot overemphasize the extent to which this act will go in your life. Besides, you don’t save money by spending money except if you’re using it to run a business or invest in something.

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...
