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 Nigerian Factor

You are sitting in your house minding your business, the Electricity providers, truck passes by, you are not worried, they back up and stop at your house gate and try to bully your poor gate man to open the gate. You have however given him specific instruction not to let THOSE PEOPLE in again. It’s war. So they call you, you go to meet them and the AEDC people try to intimidate you into opening the gate, for them to check what you don't know as there is no prepaid meter.  They promise to come back another day for more action if you don't show them your bill. Bill you have paid oh, so you relent and show them.                                   The next month they bring a new bill and somehow, with the same amount of light they give you, you have managed to use triple the amount of power you used the previous month.  That first wave of hopelessness is felt before the anger sets i...

Remember That You Will Die

Memento Mori; Remember that you will die, or as the  millennials put it YOLO (you only live once).                                 This saying was to remind humans of the vain nature of  life and earthly things, but going beyond this it's also a reminder that our time here is brief and we get this chance once, so what are we doing to live our  lives as best as we can today. We are constantly bugged down with things and things we want to do that make us forget the important stuff, sometime we are bugged down by fear that stops us from taking chances on our selves or those around us. Don't buy a house now till you are married, or start that business you have wanted to start, or take the chance on that guy or girl, give to the needy, help a friend out, whatever it is you want to do to make your life fuller and  happier. All of us have the feeling that we ar...
