There are very few female friends in my life, that is, those I often talk to and she is one of those. We met in school and we have been friends since then. She is annoying and acts too much matured for my liking. I am used to being the rational and level headed one,…… Continue reading Adopted Big Sis
Adopted Kid Bro
Some people come into our lives and we just know they are here for the long hall. This dude is one of such. I have always wanted a younger sibling and still maintain my position as the baby of the family; my prayer has been answered. Initially, he got on my nerves. He was such…… Continue reading Adopted Kid Bro
My Sibilings
Well, what can I say? It’s the longest story ever but I am going to keep it short. You got to love them and hate them for various reasons and at different times. Siblings are those you share a lifetime of memories with. The first friends you make. Growing up, my siblings were my protectors…… Continue reading My Sibilings
PARENTS
The second thing am thankful for are my parents. I would have loved to write about them individually but I am torn as to who should come first; mom or dad. I bet you just said, “oh, but you typed mom before dad”. Well, I guess! My parents gave me life, whether intentional or otherwise.…… Continue reading PARENTS

We go down on our knees, clapping our hands and giving praise. Letting go of the outer and…… Continue reading Forget the slay, we pray!

I assume we all have been victims of this situations. In my case, I do not let the offenders go scot free. For my payback ,…… Continue reading KARMA
AFRICA ON THE RISE
Africans all over the diaspora have finally come to terms with their true identity and cultural heritage. Africa is the new black and being African is the new cool. In years past, we were obsessed with anything foreign; food, fashion and general lifestyle. Recently, however, we are back to our roots, embracing all those things…… Continue reading AFRICA ON THE RISE
LOVE REDEFINED.
Not a feeling, Not an emotion. A choice of mind, A state of heart, A deliberate decision of commitment. Love redefined; void of the sex yardstick. Rid of the biology and chemistry of bodily attraction. True mutual understanding. Not the “I love you ” when everything goes your way. That is selfishness defined. I love…… Continue reading LOVE REDEFINED.
Boycott Valentine
Is it possible for us all to boycott Valentine’s day this year? I am not against love or anything like that but I just feel like the true meaning of the day is misunderstood and misused. It has become more of a commercialised celebration. Love in itself has been redefined and all people expect on…… Continue reading Boycott Valentine
