Young Couples and Yamayama

Don't get it twisted, love is a beautiful thing! I think some of my classmates will read this post and confirm their assumptions about me being unfavorably disposed towards men, tall men, black men, short men, ugly men, fine men, men! It is a lie, men are good people but women are just better (laughs it out). While I do love it when I see people holding hands (that is a lie) I think they are deliberately trying to mock me. 
Everywhere I go, I must see young couples trying to make my eyeballs burst. Yesterday, I was enjoying myself oh, plate of rice and plantain at a restaurant when two_______ (I don't know what to call them) walked in. I would have cared less if they chose another table but they did not. Instead, the young man (who by the way did not button his shirt well) took a chair out for the lady to sit at my table. By the way, so men still hold out seats for ladies? Where are those men? Because all the men I see in Lagos even push me to get on a bus! 
Back to yesterday, the lady sat down gracefully (as though she was afraid that a normal sitting position would make the world end) and said she was very hungry and two spoons of rice would do. That is where I was surprised. Hello, two spoons? Very hungry?  My home girls know that's so absurd, very hungry demands four or five spoons! So I was seriously considering two options:maybe she knew the guy was broke or, she doesn't want to appear as a glutton. Who does that? Actually my roommate said two spoons is a lot of food, but I disagree. Let's leave that at that! 
What is food meant for? To be eaten! But these children (I don't care if they are older) kept staring at each other's eyes while the food was growing cold(not my business) until the guy reached forward to give her a kiss on the chin (eh, ewo!). At that moment I became sure of the fact that those children came to taunt me. Probably they were paid by someone I had offended, because, it is totally inappropriate to do that in my front! This is not Amelica! Leave yamayama for waste packer, this is Nigeria and you cannot be doing lubbish in my flont! 
So I am warning you people, if you know you ever want to do that PDA around me, better make sure I am not wearing my glasses or you do it behind. If not, I will immediately mark you as my enemy. It is enough that I have to eat alone while both of you eat, that I have to go to the movies with my crazy friends who never stop talking while you go with your Bae, so don't make it harder, don't be kissing in my face!  
PS: If you are the couple who sat next to a lady in Afro hair and a Jean shirt yesterday at SUB, University of Ibadan, I'm taking about you. Don't be doing that lubbish.  Exams have begun, go read!

The Heartbroken Heartbreaker

It took me how long to write this? Probably a million years! This piece is long overdue! Ladies and gentlemen, especially ladies, please do not feel particularly attacked by this piece. I am trying very hard to be honest. Last night, I thought to myself what my response would be if people ever asked me if I've been heartbroken and before I knew it, I had a long speech about how unserious men can be and how women suffer as a result of this. Then it occurred to me that, in the real sense of things, I have never had my heart broken by anybody. Please, please, please, I am not forming wonder woman or holy than thou, it is the simple truth! I came to this realization because, I noticed that if there was ever a time that I felt terrible emotionally it was because of my own expectations and unrealistic guesses. I really don't like to write things about love and relationship and stuff because it gives my readers too much opportunity to get into my head and sometimes, imagine things ...

The Lie of Wisdom and Morals Being Mutually Exclusive.

When we talk of two things as being mutually exclusive, it means that the occurrence of one of them automatically means the absence of the other. That settled, why then do people think that if a person  is wise or a genius, the person most likely will lead an immortal lifestyle? To be honest, I think the main issue is understanding what wisdom means and who a genius really is. Most people feel that to be a genius, one must be different in everything (true to an extent). However, the problem arises when so called wise people go to the extreme. In my opinion, there is a difference between a celebrated person and a genius. As a matter of fact, the real geniuses and wise persons are not really celebrated as much as the 'superficial geniuses'. Just because a person is able to go to daring lengths and try the unknown does not make them a genius, it makes them an explorer. To qualify as a real wise person, to be a genius as approved by worldwide standards, a person must be very cle...

Friendly Enemies

Today,I will be focusing on five types of friends that we need to beware of.These are those who claim to be friends but are actually enemies. 1. ALWAYS ASKING NEVER GIVING.  Some friends have the habit of always asking for favours but when called upon for help, they always have the perfect excuse as to why they cannot help. Such people subtly send us the message that they are only hanging around us because of what they are benefitting from us. The moment you cannot help them, they leave! So, you need to let go.  2. ALWAYS RECEIVING NEVER APPRECIATING. When a friend never shows appreciation for gifts and favours, you need to be careful. It could be that the friend does not value you and your sacrifices. 3. ALWAYS COMPLAINING NEVER ENCOURAGING.  Do you have friends who do nothing but complain about how bad things always are? You need to beware. People who constantly complain and never encourage you are dangerous. They dampen your spirit, bring you down and fail to ...
