That was in year 2014, now it is year 2018, I am 26+ years old and I just recently broke my flying hymen (it sounds dirty). The first thing you should understand is that I am Ijebu. It runs in my blood. I am Ijebu second after been female. I have never seen the point of wasting double the transport fare to my destination and have you all watched Lost and that episode of Baywatch?…..i am not dying that way!.  Well, I have a new mentality all together….ish Last year June, i was in a ghastly road accident while I was travelling from Lagos to Ilorin, the bus fare was three thousand naira and the flight was I think eighteen thousand naira and I just couldn’t imagine wasting that extra fifteen thousand naira. Well, our bus flew off a bridge and landed down below. I s...

6 Reasons I Don’t Want To Get Married Right Now By MindofaShe   I hope my mom doesn’t see this…Here in Nigeria there is this pressure to have a ring on your finger or maybe it’s just to pack out of your parent’s place and to your husband’s, I don’t know which. While been in love and settling down is great, maybe I really don’t want it right now. I have a million reason why but let’s not get to know each other too much. :) 1.

Best Friend artwork adapted from the net Sometimes I really don’t know how to tell you I am just really broken without feeling needy and insecure I don’t know how to open up without feeling umpired and impaled by you I don’t know how to cry because we usually laugh the criers out of town I just need you to see beyond the jest, to know that my mind is dense,   my soul is heavy and my body is sick To know that I am needy To know that I am insecure To know that I am broken   I need you to know that I am confused To know that I don’t know where I belong in life anymore To know that I am tired of wearing the heavy armor; the shining armor I just need you to see I am hurting and frustrated without me telling you  because I am bedridden with a personality that fills me up and drains me  and I am just waiting for you to fill me up and stand me upright.  It is your job as my BESTFRIEND …..

I have been calling since last night and I keep hearing the phone operator say “number busy”. And I keep thinking haven’t we been here before, haven’t we been on this roller coaster ride. You take me to places I think I don’t know, only to find out I have been here before. I have become a dog that recognizes the psychology of Skinner and Watson.  You dangl ing your love and me running   when your whistle calls. Tell the truth Do you still need me? ‘Cos I still need you I always thought we were a team, a team that will end up together at the hilt of the sword I will die for you.
