I once read a post about a female bricklayer, who earns a living by working in construction sites. This post was up on Facebook and had a few hundred likes and comments. Everyone who reads stuff on Facebook and blogs know that the real stuff happens in the comments.

I proceeded to read the comments under the post because my procrastination monkey had taken over and that guy (yes my procrastination monkey is male and that's because all the most accomplished procrastinators I know are men) loves social media a lot. I Digress, most of the comments rightly praised her because why not, that is totally a male dominated profession (way to breaking glass ceilings)... there was a particular one though that stood out for me, Written by a man  it went about stating how women should be like this woman and praised her and not be busy being slay queens.

This leads me to what I want to write about today: Who is a slay queen?

By my definition (and accomplished understanding) she is a woman (a queen) who decides to excel (exceedingly kick Ass, commit murder and whatever urban or dark euphemisms you may like to use) at whatever task she has decided to do. You may not agree with said tasks or activities but once she decides, she does them exceedingly well. She may be a board member at the company, a brick layer, a bread hawker, a socialite, a youth copper who loves and helps her Mama who fries Akara, an admin or accounting staff at the firm, your house manager wife, your Instagram model, photographer, even your boyfriend's side chick ... whatever she does, she does it like an assassin because she kills at it.

That is a slay queen.

A woman who works hard to get good at everything because she is backed by grace.

Don't come on to anyone's profile and try to praise them while vilifying something beautiful. The word Slay was made more popular from Beyonce's song Formation where she is telling women to empower themselves and go out and SLAY.
So this is from one SLAY Queen to any others who happen to pass by this post at some point in time.


Kick Ass and Take names always. Do not apologize and do not be ashamed of what God has put in you.

Vals through the ages

                                   Before SS1, Valentine's day was a day when my Father made us all dress to the nines and he took us to the "swankyest" restaurant in whatever town we were in usually Abuja or Calabar. Fast forward to senior secondary I changed schools from an all girls boarding to a mixed boarding. I became aware of what the holiday meant (the whole lovers situation). In an all girls school, Vals day was just a low key day for "school daughters and mothers". In the mixed school though it was a whole other monster. The night before, girls stayed awake talking about all the boys that liked them and who they will be expecting gifts from. Come morning, girls will go to class holding their breath hoping that the boy they have a crush on has finally grown a pair and put something nice in their locker. This day also was also the unfortunate day that boys picked to play practic...

Let's talk about SEX

I have been on twitter since I woke up. I am currently on holiday so I have the time :) there is a conversation about rape and rape culture is Nigeria but I will go unto that later. Now though I want to talk about one of the 7 wonders of the World: Sex. Good for you if you think it is and wait and see if you think it isn't LOL. Sex has always had a different sort of connotation in our country always so shrouded in mystery. People don't talk about it, if you talk about it you are bad. First of all let's note that I do not write any blog post that I will not be proud of my daughter reading one day. so I am going to write this post as I will want my child to understand it. What we need in this world now is not more articles telling us how to have sex, LOL these are useful but somehow, we kind of find that out on our own. What we need are real articles telling us about the ramifications and emotional entanglements of the entire glorious affair, and more reason why...

The Killing of the Virtuous Woman

(Unchained Part 1) This is where she died. The virtuous woman. She started early with one kid on her back and the other one pinned to her side. Going up a hill with a bucket of water while he still slept... Back pain killed her. No appetite after cooking food for you and you and you, too tired to laugh or eat or take part in the conversation… Complacency killed her They said to make something of yourself. She had no time; home had to be perfect she said my home is the reflection of who I am… Aimlessness killed her. She began late with the clothes washing and the floor scrubbing while watching the brood she had to split to bare. Because of love, she held nothing back... She moved on to the bedroom where she had to be your love, your whore, your dream for 5 minutes and yet you found flaws, but she smiled and moved on with it… Selflessness killed her. This is where she died the love of your life, of heartbreak when she heard you had room in your heart f...
