A TRIBUTE TO 2013

Every youngster aspires to live the dream some day and for most like me who come from small, fairly developed states that may not even be identified on the map or have been heard of just once: not for the best reasons one can think of, we can only fulfill these dreams by moving to the larger cities and I chose Abuja the Federal Capital Territory. My journey in Abuja started about 4 years ago (wow, I can’t believe its 4 years already), I remember it clearly just like it was yesterday. Fresh out of youth service, with high hopes of landing my dream job with ECOWAS (since that was what mum told me to convince me to study French, not that I regret it though) being independent in every sense of the word at a very young age and falling in love with one HOT dude, getting married… it was nothing short of picture perfect.

A runs girl’s worst Nightmares

I have been cracking my brain for an appropriate and PG description for a runs girl, for the benefit of those who may not understand the terminology and trust me it has proven to be very difficult. For lack of a better instance, let’s just say a runs girl is into the property exchange business (the property being her body for his money of course).  While most people may abhor and judge runs girls, there are still a fraction of ladies out there who envy them and want to be in their shoes. To experience their lifestyle, the money they get to handle and people they meet. She uses the latest gadgets, shops wherever and anytime she wants, she wears the finest and most expensive weaves and has all the connections with politicians and socialites; technically she is living the life. It may even seem as if she has found an ‘easy’ way of making money; after all is it not just sex? How hard can that be? They might ask but my dears, it is way beyond sex and their lives aren’t as picture perfect as portrayed so to drive my point home, here are a few nightmares these people you admire also face.

THE HASSLES OF DATING A TWIN.

My friend Sandra is dating a twin, a few days ago was to be their birthday and Sandra was in a dilemma. She came to me seeking friendly advice and asked “Leticia this cake I am making for Taiye, should I write happy birthday to Taiye and Kehinde”? “As how na?” was my reply “is Kehinde also your boyfriend?” and with those very words came the idea for this article. While I kept teasing her about the hassles of dating a twin, Sandra claimed that twins are also normal human beings and so there is no difference in dating a guy who is a twin or who isn’t but I plan to prove otherwise after this article.

With THESE I thee wed

Yes you read right. It’s not a typographical error; I meant to say “these”. Have you ever wondered how a little gold ring (some don’t even have the decency to buy you a gold ring sef, but going by the colour permit me to call it gold) is exchanged between a couple as they read their vows saying “with this I thee wed” and they go ahead to pledge their bodies, loyalty, submission, money and every iota of emotion and feeling to each other? Aren’t all these things enough to change that phrase to “with these I thee wed”? Whoever coined that phrase really needs to meet me for a one on one because right now I am bitter and out for a change*straight face*

Where is that Patient dog?

According to a popular proverb they say the patient dog eats the fattest bone but I say the patient dog waits so long sometimes the fastest bone isn’t enough (but it is better than none). As a Nigerian that I am, there are many incidences we experience daily which discredit this proverb and cause you to seat down and think twice, probably even get mad at yourself and whatever made you believe that patience would work for you. This virtue is tested every day, at the market place, while using the ATM, or even waiting to use the convenience at a restaurant or the saloon. Do you ever pass these tests? I guess we all know that the more you pass your tests the better you get in that subject and the more confident you will be in that field but even when you fail, it is not enough to give up cos trust me, there’s another test just right there waiting for you to take it. I want to let you in on a little secret…Patience births courtesy.
