I read somewhere that if you don't want a woman to decide give her a choice. I hate having to choose, you hear people shouting how they want a choice but when they get it, they become unhappy. Research even shows that we are a generation of sadder people because we have more choice. Why does choice make us so unhappy? It's because for every choice you make there is an opportunity cost, that is the alternative you had to let go of  so that you can make the choice you did, how do you know that the one you didn't pick is not the one that will complete you forever. Scenario 1: Ralph had to make a choice, Oge was a beautiful woman but she was stubborn, she wouldn't let him land before she jumped to conclusions but she was beautiful and she could cook, his mother also liked her very much but she was the kind of girl who would make a decision and inform him later, not because she wanted to undermine him but because that's just how she was and she could not pray for...

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...

I have come of age. It has been about 5 years since i wrote on this blog. So in five years i will like you to know i have come of age. Some of my friends are married some have kids, some are just fabulous and single  and we have all come of age. The Kardashians are a movement. Runs is taxable The classic distressed jeans have come back Denim is still king. Jonathan lost elections  and Nigerians are still queuing for petrol. Lol. But we have come of age. I remember when Nigeria had 24 hours light, water running from all the taps all the children were in school 1 naira was equal  to 1 dollar all the traffic lights worked and petrol was 40 naira a litre. Don't you remember this time?  well its true you won't because it never existed Our society takes 1 step forward 10 steps back.  There is free education but a mother has to pay about 11k in Naira to get her child books, uniform and other things  is education really free?.
