The Good Morning Ish
Have you ever forgotten to greet your parents in the morning? Not like you didn’t see them but you were looking them in the eye but just forgot to say the words good morning. They didn’t say too because obviously they’re entitled to your greeting and you’re not to theirs. You remember this on your way to work but you know how awkward it'll sound texting them to say 'good morning ma/sir, sorry I forgot to greet you this morning, my brain skipped. Good morning, have a nice day' so you just let it slide instead and your parents begin to wonder if you’re a bastard but they don’t mention it until you get back home in the evening and still forget to greet them. They finally confirm that you’re indeed a bastard.

Scum Bae
You’ve been laughing at all the men are scum memes and stories and you think to yourself. If men are scum, my own man is not scum. You’re so sure of it you can almost testify in church like 'praise the Lord, I want to thank God for the salvation of my soul and also for my man that in this era of 'scumness', he is still not scum, praise the lord'. Next thing, he’s doing the do with someone else but you discover luckily and you wonder how long he’s been scum undercover.


Styleyy
There are days when you are expected to look all chic and stuff but deep down you just wanna wear something really comfortable which of course hardly fits the style of the day. So you just wear your really comfy stuff because you can and everybody be looking at you like 'what! are you homeless now?' but they don’t ask because they were still hanging out at yours the previous day. Knowing how chic you like to look, they ask instead 'who died?'

Spend This Money
There’s one spirit inside you that keeps saying 'you work too hard, spoil yourself' so you listen to it and buy yourself some clothes and shoes but the spirit keeps whispering it so you spend some time in a five star hotel enjoying your leave because you work too hard. You think about how much you’ve had to spend on other people and you agree that it’s true. Besides, you only have one life so you spend up. You get your bank statement for the month and you can’t close your mouth for five minutes because you suddenly remember you need to pay rent in exactly a month then you wish you could press ctrl z.

Anti-social
You might be a really withdrawn person naturally but as a result of your association with other people, you begin to get jovial, and all sorts of outgoing you never thought you'd be even in your dreams. Because of who you are naturally, once in a while you go back to being a person who doesn’t want to be around anyone, not because anyone died but that’s who you are and everyone starts to take offense but what can you say. You don’t just know how to tell them to blame it on the temperament. Annoying part is when you go out, accidentally meet people, chat and have a good time but you don’t think you should get anyone’s contact because you know you won’t keep in touch anyway so no point. God help you.

Wedding Bells
Everyone be asking you when you will get married and some people be so forward to even say "next year abi?" like they’ve seen it in a dream but lowkey you know you just want to eat, drink and sleep in peace for like two years then wake up to the world where everyone expects you to be married already. Sometimes though, when you see some couples, you’d be like aww so you start thinking about it but because food, sleep and zero drama is bae, you go back to default mode.

Money Lender
There’s a point in your life where everyone starts to ask you for money either to borrow them or dash them, it doesn’t mean you have made it. It means one of three things; your packaging skills are at its peak, you work with a reputable place or you pretend be rich. Whichever one it is, you can’t control but as you do your charity, take heed to the bibles warning which says "be careful in giving, lest you become poor". If you’re a money lender to people you can’t guarantee payback from, OYO is your case.

Mr Important
How can you collect a baes number and not call or text her that week, month or year, you then chat her up in two years expecting her to remember you, really? Guys will never cease to surprise me. A lot can happen in two years, she could have even died but there you are taking offense because someone didn’t remember that you collected her number two years ago. Just...nevermind, just go.

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...

Love With Blood?

Dear OTTH readers, I hope we're good because I'm very fine. You know me and the things that bother me, lol. The other day, I was discussing with Anuli (CEO, Iluna photography)  about how I think it's abnormal to have sexual relations with any member of ones family and she made a point by saying that it's a norm in some places #onemansmeat...you know the drill but that it doesn't make it right. I understand that people crush on their cousins and all and I also understand that my culture might be a taboo someplace else but haba! Why would you have sexual relations with your family member? I used to think it was always sexual abuse when things like that happen but I've found out that people actually do it with pride and talk about it without shame. I remember someone telling me how he makes out with his cousin and he loves her so much and I'm like gfhdsshgk? Over the years, I've heard and I still hear of different cases of incest and it was beginning t...

Mirabel's Dairy

My name is Mirabel Blakewood, I'm 20 years old. My parents died when I was 6 in a car accident on the 25th of July, 2001 and I've been living with Maternal Grandmother until she also passed away when I was 15. I still stay at my Grandmother's till date. I'm quite tall, I have brown eyes just like my Dad's. I remember it when he used to read me bedtime stories, I would stare deep into his eyes till I fell asleep. I keep a small circle of friends - Jeff, Sarah, Lionel and Amy. We've been friends since we were kids. They've been my family too. My Grandmother was a very quiet woman, she was a woman of noble mien. She had no friends and she barely spoke to anyone. She would say hello to few people after the service on Sunday then be back to her normal withdrawn self. There was something my Grandma passed on to me, it's called the Peth spirit. It was passed on to her by her mother when she was dying but my Mum didn't live long enough for it to b...
