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.

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...

The Fashion Monster

Today lets talk about the Fashion, Fads  and style. I will start by defining both. From the various things I have read, I will conclude that fashion is a manner of doing something or the latest or newest way of doing something (my extensive reading ends with wiki... just in-case you were wondering). A fad on the other hand is an intense of widely spread enthusiasm for something. A craze if you like and its usually short lived. Style on the other hand is the manner or way in which something is done. I have been wondering what the idea with all this fads are, esp now that we have social media, everything becomes a craze people do all sorts of things to be seen as ''in Fashion" university Students using their school fees to fund shopping spree and have stuff that's not practical, Today I read on LIB how 3 guys who want to look like big boys go and shop lift from boutiques when they could be using their time to find money to eat. Its not only in fashion that we...

Poverty Mentality

If you are a Nigerian, you have heard these two words together so many times. Some people just attribute if to poor people, you can't be more wrong. I do not use these words to insult any class of people in this our great country but to just describe, just let you understand seriously what this really means. Poverty is the state of being extremely poor (syn: lacking, Insufficient etc). Mentality is a way of thing of something. Poverty Mentality is a way of thinking in a sense of lack or insufficiency or inadequacy. Now poverty mentality should not be mistaken for prudence or common sense in spending or saving. Frugality is not poverty mentality. I am going to give examples. You go to a Nigerian wedding your shoes cost more than some peoples' meals in weeks and the asoebi you bought is the entire amount of someone's monthly salary yet  when they are sharing souvenirs in the reception hall you basically go and beat the servers down ...
