Can naija boys pick up lines get any worse??....

Don't get me wrong I totally love Naija as in GIDI for life but for real naija guys have the worst pick up lines in the world and the funniest thing about this is that they actually do work for some girls. If you r not aware Hi5 is the number one place to be stalked or to meet RAZZ peeps (and no this razz am using is not the cool razz). All you have to do is put up pictures and you have all sorts of people sending you messages that they can't get you off their minds. And even if you do not have pictures up people still send you messages that "you are the woman in my dreams". I mean how can someone you have not seen before or have no idea of what they look like or behave be in your dream? Is it me or is that totally crazy and unacceptable.

A while back I got a message from a random naija dude that said "my dad must have been a terrorist because I am a sex bomb".. I almost died of laughter, one thing for sure he definitely got my attention but I highly doubt it was the kind of attention he wanted from me. A naija guy told my friend that he “loves her like the vibration of the sea." How does the sea come into play? This other time, a dude came up to me and said "your an angel and I know am the devil but baby don't rebuke me" But WHY?? It almost like they enroll naija guys at a young age in a school that teaches them "LINES TO GET BABES" It should not be so hard to have a regular conversation with a girl. What is so hard in being real? Why do they feel the need to make up these stupid lines in their head? Why can they not let conversations come naturally? Just be you and if that girl is not interested move on to the next one that likes you for you not your money or the cars you drive. Girls like a guy who is confident enough to be himself besides, that's the only way meaningful conversations can be had.

Also, why is that many of the naija guys that approach you cannot speak English properly? "Eye love you".... Come on naija boys I know you guys can do better. I have faith in you guys. By the way, thumbs up to those of you that have kept it real all this time and are still doing that. Yes am back and this time to stay please hold me to my words. By the way, remember you are not ALONE so hang in there.

Couldn't quite think of a title......

Why is it that:
Most times you do not realize how much something means to you until it is about to be taken away
Most times you do not know how great your day is going to be until you are right in the middle of it..
Most times you do not realize how strong you are until you are able to face the difficulties in your life and overcome them.
Too many times we give ourselves less credit than we deserve.
Too many times we think that we cannot make it through our issues but the truth is that we can make our way back from anything. Sometimes all it takes is for us to believe in ourselves and surround ourselves with good people that can be there to encourage us during tough times. We need to be able to hang on and try and believe that we can always start afresh no matter how bad things get or how we screw up. Life is not always going to suck yes it is going to have its down times but its also going to have its good times. We just have to learn to fight through the pain because the moment we stop fighting we stop living.. So guys please hang in there and remember you are not alone...

We are blessed but do not even realize it !!!!

I know there are days that we think we have it bad or are going through alot but we forget that there is someone out there going through worse. I have been working at school over the summer for a month now. My job entails me to sit at a desk at all times and i am not supposed to leave it until my shift is over. Although, today i broke that rule because of this blind lady who was struggling very hard to get into the building. I could not just sit there i had to get up and direct her to the laundry room where her clothes were. She was so pleasant and beautiful. She was very grateful and she asked me for my name and where i was from. Apparently, her best friend is also Nigerian and is from Lagos... I couldn't help asking her for her name and her number and after she left she got me thinking for a while if not for the whole time.....


How could such a wonderful person be blind? Why am i not blind? These are questions that God alone can answer but i know that so many of us are blessed but we do not even realize it...We always remember what is wrong and forget the good things in our lives.. Our minds are so occupied with what we do not have that we forget the many things that God has done for us. I have been having a pretty long week so somehow i believe that God wanted me to meet this wonderful person so every time i start feeling down i can remember that i am really blessed....

My slacking days are over!! I think...

I know I have not blogged for over 2 months and as much as I would like to say I was very busy somehow I know I could have made time for it if I wanted to. Don't get me wrong you guys matter to me a great deal but I guess I had some serious sorting out to do. I am sorry it's taken me this long to update my blog but now things are going to be different because I am on vacation and although I have a job with lots of hours I am jobless So you are going to be seeing more of me now than ever before.

Love always,

Depression likes company

A lot has been going on with me of recent of which none has been good. Due to everything I have been quite depressed. There were days I barely made it through without wanting to break down and cry. After days of holding the tears back I finally let it all up down to my friend Ada. I think that was like the most awkward conversation we’ve had ever.

I just cried for about 20 minutes and then I told her I had to go. No explanations or reasons or grumbling apart from saying "Ada I’m really tired, I do not know how long I can continue to do this for". My really close friend called me later and could sense something was wrong. I am a very talkative person so the moment I am a little quiet you know I’m either tired (which rarely ever happens) or I have a lot on my mind. I didn't tell him what was up with me but I acknowledged the fact that I wasn't myself. Funny enough, our conversation was anything but weird. I ended up going to bed happy.

The next day I started reflecting on my life and I realized that we as humans choose to be depressed. Yes things get really bad sometimes but nothing can ruin our mood unless we allow it to. I had promised myself not to allow all the stuffs going on in my life bother me but somewhere along the line I had forgotten. There is no harm in crying once in a while but the moment it becomes frequent then there is a problem. Many times after I have finished crying I find myself the happiest because I feel like the weight has been lifted off my shoulders.

Nothing can get to you unless you allow it. There are going to be days that you will feel like crap, that you will wonder why your alive or you would just want to loose hope but if I was able to make it through days like that you also can. Remember depression likes company and that’s a company you don't want to keep.

Just words but so much more!!!

First of all, I am really sorry I have not blogged for over a week. Sometimes, school gets so crazy that I almost forget to do things that really matter to me. I hope your weekend was better than mine? It is not like mine sucked but nothing exciting happened like that if you feel me. I remember the day I got this jewelry box because it totally brightened up my day. It was that day I found out that my 2nd and final monthly installment plan for my school fees was due in two weeks rather than in two months. I had just finished paying the 1st installment only a week ago so I knew this was going to be a rather impossible task for my mom. I was really upset and worried about my mom because my school fees had doubled because I changed school I lost my scholarship. I was literally trying to fight the tears from pouring down so I decided that if I took a long nap it would go away just for the moment. As I walked into my building, I could see a green slip in my mailbox, which usually indicated I had a package. I was contemplating whether to pick it up now or later but I finally decided to get it. When I got to my room, I opened the package and saw this jewelry box. I do not know whether it was the fact that is customized for me or the words or from who it came from but, this jewelry box kept me going and believing that everything will be alright. The fact that someone believed in me and cared was enough reason for me to keep believing in myself. Many times, people do not realize how much their words can give you hope. There have been many days that I have struggled but was able to survive and keep going because of someone's words. One day try telling your friends what you really like about them and you will find that in some weird way it would bring you joy to know that you just put a smile on someone's face. I know this is going to sound rather strange but, there some days when I get on facebook and read people's status and I notice their status is saying something about them been down, I immediately find myself sending them a message of encouragement so that they know that someone cares and they are not alone. It is really funny how far someone's encouragement and support can go even if it is just words. The funny part is that I do not think he ever knew how much that jewelry box touched my life even if it was for that moment or that day. I want to say a big thank you for giving me the courage to keep believing even when there was nothing to believe in. I also, want to thank everyone that has given me hope in one way or the other I hope that I can one day do the same for you one of these days. T he coolest thing about my jewelry box is that it has Mbang (which is the name that my mom and I share) written on it. People do not know it is the little things that count but I am glad that I know and somehow I am going to always try and make it count...xoxo
