The Rebel

  Late-night walks are my new favorite thing to do. Walking on empty streets, staring into oblivion, street lights shining against each other, raccoons crossing, and music blasting in my ears — completely immersed in my head, in a new world, imagining things that could never happen in real life, creating scenarios whilst treading upon wet grasses. With the cold wind blowing against my face and hands in my pockets, I walk on. It’s funny how someone with such lazy bones can find joy in walking endlessly. I wonder what it’s like to walk on and on, without a destination. Where would I end up? The emptiness of the endless narrow street in my direct line of sight is oddly comforting. Alone in an empty world, the sober moon shines brightly yet subtly enough to maintain the darkness of the night. I can laugh, giggle, and talk back to my own thoughts without a care for who might be listening. I turn the streets into my runway, strutting on and acting out my imaginations subconsciously. Life cou

Some days back, I was stuck being the middleman between a couple bickering over infidelity issues. The man is the cheat.  Shocker .   I was silent as I listened to them argue incoherently and I was DAZED . Not by the harsh words thrown at each other. Not by the love hate banters, Not by anything else but by how much of myself I heard from her words. I heard my self through her mouth. I quietly listened to her in disgust. The man was clearly guilty of putting another lady in a family way despite being married yet he intelligently played victim with so much strength and resilience. But the woman? Pathetic. Vulnerable. Weak. Stupid. In fact, I have no words. Often times , We ladies speak without realizing how pathetic we sound. I heard words like ‘Don’t do this to me’, ‘ I feel lifeless without you’, ‘I feel less of myself’, 'Let me just die'... Why sis? To a man who impregnated another lady and intends making her a second wife?  What got me madder was how the man took

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!!  (there are guys who use makeup. So yeah... GENTLEMEN) Please let us come together as ONE to fight against eye brow abuse .. I just cant deal Brows are a pretty important feature of your face so they shouldn't be under estimated nor abused in any sort of way. To be honest, If you cannot Shape your brows or Carve it, Let it be! Why is it so hard to do that? At the end of the day you end up embarassing not just yourself, but the people around you. So  Here are The Commandments: Check out a few things to keep in mind when next you're getting your brows done  1. Don't use black  -   I am all for wearing makeup you feel most comfortable and confident in but  I strongly advocate against  the use of black pencils for your brows. Even God would not allow this. They are way too harsh and uncool- Instead, use dark brown pencils. There are shades as close to black but not black.   2. Never pluck them all off  -  Over

Okay, Let's first acknowledge the fact that, I'd make a really cute guy. No Jokes here. The cutest you could ever think of.  Trey Songz would have nothing on me. I would be a guy with Bulgy eyes, Pink lips, deep and seductive voice, Nice build, Peng dimples, seductive jawline, Tall, not that tall. But tall. Light-skinned. Girls generally like dark guys but it wouldn't matter. Not to blow my own horns, but the ladies would die for me. They would crawl at my feet to lick my feet and beg me to give them ordinary handshake and I'd slap them and still say NO. That's probably why God decided to make me an average everyday girl. Because he doesn't want to create yet another Yoruba demon... If I could be a guy for a day, I'd like to do it as a guy. Just for the fun of it. Just to know what it feels like. Just to know why they find it hard to stick to one cat. Is it sweeter for men? So much that they'd even do it with random persons they have no feeling

Just In case you haven't heard, there's this ridiculous diet obsession movement on the rise now and it's called the 'Thigh Gap'. As the name implies, the thigh gap is the gap between your inner thighs when you stand up straight with your feet touching each other. Of course, some women were actually born with this gap however the disturbing aspect of it is that lately, a lot of girls have turned to extreme dieting and even surgery to achieve it all because it is believed to symbolize the 'ideal feminine shape'. Some argue that it increases attractiveness and is a sign of fragility. As a matter of fact, the wider your thigh gap, the more beautiful you are considered these days. Abeg. It's become alarming recently how people strive to achieve it. Personally, I find this pretty ridiculous and disgusting. I'm tired of consistently having unattainable and harmful standards thrust upon people in the name of beauty. Over the years, we've had beau

If you can. I can't! You can buy whatever the hell you want for yourself as long as you can afford it. I wont lie, A 2.5 million naira dress in this our economy is a bit overdoing it. In fact, its not a bit. Its plainly overdoing it. As a celebrity, its even harder to repeat clothes. Especially when worn to a very well recognized major event. Why buy a 2.5 million naira dress when there are chances you would not even wear it in public again? I can bet my two cents that she wouldn't. To be honest,  the dress does not look '2.5millionaraish'. If I am to spend that kind of amount on a dress(which i would not do,  because I'm wise) you can bet it would not be from this planet. Do you even know how much 2.5 million naira is? There's a whole lot you would do with that amount! More tangible and life changing decisions I'd make with that kind of money. And you spend it on a mere cloth for the BET Awards? Award that you did not even bag.
