Who is Nikolai Obee? Very good question. Nikolai Obee is one psychedelic mamacita! She loves Afrobeats, fashion and will one day be the next best thing in Nollywood! Watch out for this authentic babe! As for now, stay in touch with some of her thoughts, fashion styling and overall crazy!
You guys! My weekend is still not over. I have been hopping from one event to the other like my legs can't maintain one position. As in...Jesuit! I'm even going to another party tonight that I helped put together.
Dr. Earnest celebrated getting his doctorate degree last Saturday and it was definitely a big turnout. I hadn't seen some faces in a while and it was so much fun to catch up. My sister and I were supposed to wear matching African kente shirts that we got from our friend, but they ended up being too big. He warned us, but we didn't listen. Lol. She had a backup plan, but I surely didn't. As a result, we got to the event that began at 9pm at midnight. We are known as #OfficialLatecomers in the Naija community here. Lol. We need to seriously work on our African time though.
We danced the night away to the point that I'm still in pain till today! As in, I have been downing ibuprofen like no other. The gbedu was so serious that I took off my heels and was busting makossa moves on the dance floor. Talk about keeping it classy. Lol! My thighs, back and legs are still hurting.
My last minute outfit. I think I did pretty good! I've been wearing a lot of black lately and rocking bolder accessories.
These uncles were out of character. Flashing money and telling my sister and I to stop taking pictures with guys who don't make enough money. Lol! They were hilarious.
Mr. Bello is always cracking us up!
N-K Entertainment ushers rocking my shirts
Jason (to the left) just got back into town. It was great seeing him
Ebele (to the right) and I were sweating like crazy after murdering the dance floor. Thanks to the brilliant quality of the iPhone, you can't even tell!
Make una hear this tory oh. Someone asked me to help them find a staff member for a particular event. I of course accepted to be of assistance to her. The lady had been very nice to me so far and I wanted to do whatever I could to help. I asked several people I know if they were available for the days she requested a staff member for. One girl that I just rekindled with told me she was available. She and I hadn't talked for two years because I chose to distance myself away from her. I did this because she's fond of broadcasting your personal information to people who have no business in your affairs and snobbishly talks about her achievements without caring about those around her. I applaud all her efforts for progress, but that doesn't mean she should show it off in front of people who aren't as fortuned as she is.
Another guy also said he would be available. It was only right that I offered the position to the girl who responded first. She also told me that she needed as much money as possible at this point in time to take care of some personal matters. I passed along all her information to event lady. She booked her, had a conference call with her and I even gave her the designated package required for the job. On the day of the event, I got a call as I was getting out of the shower. It was almost 2pm (Yes. I slept late. Don't judge me). It was from the event lady's company. The man on the phone said that the girl I recommended never showed up and refused to answer her calls. I was stunned! He said that his client was furious and they needed the position filled immediately. I sincerely apologized and assured him that I would quickly find a replacement. I called her five times. She let it ring twice and sent me to voicemail three times. I eventually got the position filled and the man was happy that I was able to handle the issue at hand. I felt that it would only be right to find someone else as the girl who was initially scheduled didn't show up.
Around 9.30pm, I was texting one of my friends on WhatsApp. I got a random call from that girl. I refused to pick up. She sent a text telling me that she kept on calling the event lady and that she never answered her. She said that she got a flat tire and her phone had died.
Now, this is where I have a problem. She NEVER apologized for her actions. Yes, she had a valid reason, but what about a common 'Sorry'? Instead she told me to let the lady know about what happened and that she made efforts to call her. It's funny to me that she said this and the company told me she never picked up their calls. Its obvious that she's a liar. Secondly, she knew that I had vouched for her to the lady to get booked for the position. They're were various people ready to work the job and she accepted it. I talked about her good work ethic and communication skills. It's clearly obvious that she lacks that. By the way, she forgot that she told me that her mother was coming into town today. Funny. She's a comedian and she doesn't know. Thirdly, I have said it before and I will say it again. Flat tire, broken window or whatever it is, if you are scheduled to work an event or regular job, YOU MUST INFORM your boss/ staffer about whatever issues you encounter on the way to work IMMEDIATELY. Don't do the dumb thing of not letting them know and ignoring their phone calls or sending it to voicemail because it makes you look bad. You look disrespectful and unserious. You will never be their first choice, probably won't considered for another position again or just get fired. If you don't know, know today!
I was supposed to discuss this matter a while ago. Woju by Kiss Daniel is one of my #TopSongsOfLife, so I was beyond excited when I heard that May D had a remix out. I've always loved May D, but I don't understand what those two things dangling from his head are.
I didn't know it would be one of the most stupid remixes and songs I have ever heard in my life. Not only were the nasty things he was saying useless, but it was obvious that he didn't know what he was vomiting from his mouth. As in, before the first verse finished, I just closed out the whole song. What kind of insult is this to Woju??? Check it out for yourself and tell me what you think.
LOL! This is honestly one of my favorite memes! This is not only applicable to Lagos girls, but this is full-on Naija babe behavior 101. I am guilty as charged my people! This nothing to be proud about, but it's just what it is. I'll share some of my experiences with you. Keep on reading if your eyes are looking for correct gist to come your way.
4. I'm on my period
There was this one FINE Jamaican man I used to talk to. Kai! He was fine, but he was just too fast. So many people warned me that he would try to do too much too soon, but I didn't want to listen because I would melt whenever I looked at him. His face, body and accent was just too good to be true. One day like this, he picked me up and we were chillaxing. Next thing you know oh... he started to try and go inside my everything. I was like "Ah ah..calm down nah!" He started telling me that there was another girl that he just has sex with but he didn't like her. He mentioned that she was just a casual acquaintance for when times got rough and he was 'in need'. BTW... I was not disturbed by this because this was only our third time seeing each other. We weren't exclusive, so I wasn't offended. He proceeded to say that he wanted a 'real' relationship with me. He said that he felt that I was the right one for him and he wanted to use this opportunity to have sex with me and build something from there. #LWKMD. This boy thought he had found mugu oh!
I told him that I was on my period. He said that didn't matter. Chai!!! Omo, see hunger! I told him that I wasn't interested in engaging in sexual intercourse with him at that time and he should just forget about it. He asked "Will you eventually have sex with me?" I said "To be honest, no. But you can continue to have the other lady satisfy your needs. I'm fine with where we are". I think you know what happened next. That was the end of all communication between us!
6. I don't love you because of your money
I have never directly said this, but I have insinuated it many times. I had a scenario that occurred in relation to this topic not too long ago. I met this guy who is really well developed (as far as his bank account is concerned). He offered to take me out several times, but it just never worked out due to our schedules. I would always try to come across as the strong, single independent chick that I am nah and act a if I didn't pay attention to his occupation. Na lie oh! During one of my visits to his place, he said that he had to get ready for a meeting. I was like sure no problem, let me just call a cab and start heading out. He said "Don't worry about that. I will always take care of your ride for you." Chai, see blessings! I said "Oh baby...thank you. I wasn't expecting this from you. You know it's not a problem for me, but if you insist. No problem." With all the paper we dey enter his hand, he better insist! All jokes aside, I really did like him. His money was just a plus.
7. He is just a friend
One time like this eh, I went to Houston and met a roll call of guys. As in...the babe was hot! I was talking to this one guy in the club one night like this. I then saw another guy that was trying to get my attention the night before and we greeted. The other guy was like "Who is that?". I said "Oh...he's just a friend" and shined my teeth wella wella!
8. I love you too
There was this guy I met through a mutual friend in Atlanta a year ago. He and I talked over the phone for 4 months! (The longest phone relationship I have ever had!). He was a SUPER darling and truly won my heart over that period of time. He caught feelings for me very quickly and I found myself doing so as well. The only thing that kind of scared me small was that he began saying those three dangerous words "I love you" within one month into this phone relationship. He said it A LOT and texted it several times. I never could text it back, but there came a time over the phone when he asked me to say it back. I didn't want to, but I practically felt as if I was being forced. I had to squeeze my mouth to the side and say it. I couldn't say it again though. Love is now taking it to a whole other level and I wasn't ready for that just yet. He was truly a sweetheart though. I felt as though he was the right guy who came at the wrong time.
My people, I don't condone any of this behavior. You have to be careful with whoever you're romantically/ sexually dealing with. I've made some mistakes and taken the wrong decisions when it comes to dating in my life, but I don't plan on repeating them. If you've had any of such experiences, feel free to let me know of them down below.
Yal...I have been DREAMING of the day that I would get a kente purse and the day finally came on Thursday, July 16th! My best Ghanaian guy friend, Kofi came back from his trip from Ghana and brought me a purse! It's absolutely stunning!
His mother passed away earlier on this year and he went to Ghana for her funeral. He had been gone for over 3 months and I was super happy to welcome him on his first day back in town. I tried to organize a get together for him before he left, but our schedules kept on fighting each other. Not only did he return, but he came with gifts! Walaahi, I love this guy! We were supposed to go out for dinner, but instead, my sister and I brought dinner over to him. He was so grateful and appreciative. My dear Kofi is going to be getting married in December (my birthday month), but I unfortunately won't be able to make it :( His wife will be blessed! It shall be a blessed union.
I wore the purse for the first time yesterday when I went for lunch. I was supposed to go with a girlfriend, but she ended up canceling last minute due to family issues and a lot of unpacking madness in her new place. After placing my order at the restaurant, we chatted during my whole time there. I basically had lunch with her over the phone (Lol...never done that before, but it was fun and felt kinda normal). It was my first time eating in such a public place by myself, but I had to encourage myself to do it. A lot of people will judge me and ask "Is she a baby? Why can't she be out by herself?"I don't care! I'm just not used to it. I always eat out or go to majority of places with others. It was different, but I throughly enjoyed myself. As well, nothing was going to stop me today from eating the absolutely delicious crawfish pasta I had set my mind on today. I hadn't had it in over 5 months! Just gaze at the picture below and you'll understand what I'm talking about.
My kente purse
I just left it sitting on the table so everyone could get cultured as they stared at it
You guys...I was super bored today. I felt absolutely depressed, lonely and upset because one yeye boy like this got back into town and didn't text me. I told him I wasn't sure if I would be able to make it over to his side on the day he got back from his trip, but... how is that an excuse to not text me? We talked yesterday and all seemed fine, so I didn't understand what was wrong.
As in...if you had seen me today, you would have felt sorry for me. I was just laying on the couch all day like I had been beaten by school master. I was checking my phone constantly to see if it was on silent, if one of my numerous notifications was a message from him and questioning if I should text him first. I was thoroughly confused.
I waited for my sister Ify to come back and I told her how I felt. I was literally sulking! She has warned me times without number not to have expectations from guys up until I feel it's getting to be a serious relationship. After listening to my woes, Ify asked me "Is he your boyfriend?". I said "No...but...". She then told me to shut up and let her use her laptop in peace. She proceeded to walk into her room and left me in the parlor. Laughing Out Loud! S/O to the one and only IfyBaebi! I really needed to hear such harsh words because it had become highly embarrassing. I told myself that I wouldn't allow that guy to ruin my entire 24hrs today. I got up, created the Blue Lagoon Makeup Look, took a shower, groomed myself some and called it a night. Not only do I feel 'clean' as I write this post, but I also feel relieved!
What do you guys think of this makeup look? I was going for something super dramatic and edgy. I used a turquoise gel liner from Kleancolor and matte blue lippie from Ruby Kisses. My aunty hates this lipstick and would rather not comment. I didn't ask for insults oh...just casual opinions. Hahahaaha
For those of you who aren't familiar with kilishi, it's thinly sliced pieces of beef that have been seasoned with peppery spices. I want to make it clear to any and every man, that The way to my heart is honestly with KILISHI! I don't necessarily like suya, but kilishi is my weakness. Suya is basically like kebab meat; its chunks of beef that are seasoned with peppery spices and onions.
Story story...story! There's one guy who stays in the same city as I'm in and claims to have been chasing me for the longest time. The day he found out that I'm obsessed with kilishi more than man, was one of the happiest days of his life. Sometimes we don't talk for a month, but once he says he has kilishi I am on the phone with him 24/7.
Our relationship has been nothing more than a friendhship since day 1, but now he is saying it has been something else and I'm denying it. Lol. Since when? His friend came into town from Nigeria and brought a box of kilishi (God have mercy). When he told me that his friend was coming, I reminded him to save me some as always. I thought he would do so, but that wasn't the case this time around. I met up with him and his friend for a little bit and he was completely out of character. He kept on saying "You know what you have to do nah. Ah ah...why are you behaving like this? You know you like me like I like you." Like who??? My brothers and sisters, when did I ever say that this boy is the apple of my eye? When did I ever say that he is my partner? Omo, see wahala!
I even invited him to the parties that I went to this weekend and he said that he will only come if I stop doing my 'shakara'. I asked him what he was talking about and he said I'm always doing shakara for him. This is someone I invite to all Naija parties oh! We go there as friends and leave as friends. He said that as long as I don't go about talking to other guys and spend time with him, he will come and give me kilishi. I was thoroughly confused and told him to honestly go about his business if he wasn't interested. In the end, he brought himself to the events but didn't bring kilishi. Walaahi...I almost passed out. I had to remind myself that woman must not live by kilishi alone. Some other guy told me that he would get some for me, so please pray with me that he will make my dream come true. #CrossingMyFingers
-Letter from a DESPERATE kilishi lover
Last weekend was the workout I never expected. Lol. I danced so much that I can promise you I burnt at least 2000 calories! One of my uncles (not my real uncle, but I call every elder uncle) had a baby shower for his wife at a hall by his office.
By the way, I have to mention that this baby shower started at 6pm! My friend had to remind me that such isn't the norm. Lol! Only in Africa are all events classified as late night parties. I love my people sha! We got in by 8pm (Pure African Time). The hall had no A.C. As in...kpata kpata! My sister and I walked into a wave of heat, but embraced it with open arms. We had to remind ourselves to dare not forget that we come from the motherland and refused to act bougie at such a special event. I had a hunch before leaving my apartment to bring my hand fan and I was so glad that I followed it! It was ever necessary! My uncle kept on apologizing because he had two cooling units and a fan but they weren't enough to keep the room cool. We assured him that all would be fine.
The food was absolutely delicious, company was great and after a while the music moved us all to the dance floor. I told everyone that I would only engage in small shaking of the body, but #Gbedu was full blown that night! I wore a maxi dress that was made of a light cotton and after two hours of being there, I was drenched all throughout my body. I was competing on the dance floor with people, taking it down low and cautiously bringing it up (I've realized that my knees aren't as youthful as they used to be, but I must never let it show. Lol!) I was so embrassed at how sweaty I was but my girls made me feel better. They kept on saying that nobody could tell, but I knew it was pretty visible. I was just glad that it was evident that I was sweating so much because of no A.C and my continuous movement. I was even outside taking in some air and one man asked "Have you had enough?" Lol...I said "NO!". It was such an epic night and I'm so happy that we beat the heat, I even ended up having one dance partner at the end and we were both killing it!
My uncle was so glad that we could make it and thanked my crew and I for making the event a success. Congratulations to the happy couple on their upcoming arrival of their new bundle of joy!
This uncle said he must be in this photo by power by force
My girl Michelle took these photos very well. You can't 'really' see all the perspiration caused by the #EverlastingGbedu

Yal, so...I'm just getting back from this club party. My crew and I are at it again; 2 parties in 1 night! #Mercy. If you know me well, you'll know that I 'rarely' ever go out to the club (only when I'm out of town to meet bobos because where I live is lame!) The night started off at an uncle's wife's graduation party not too far from my apt. We stayed there for about 2 hours and had to bless the dance floor before we exited of course. Some of my 'former friends' were there and one of them tried to act as if we're cool. But...why??? He offered me a drink at the party and I gladly refused (if you would like to hear the full story of why we are no longer friends, leave a comment below). After that awkward display of whatever he wants to call it, I went about my business, ate a bit and had to say my goodbyes.
From there, we moved onto the second location which was a more upscale night club in town. An Afro-Caribbean party was taking place there and I had gotten in touch with the organizer. He asked me to help promote the party and of course yes I agreed. I know a good amount of Nigerians in the area, so that's no biggie for me. I had never met him before, but he sounded really sweet over the phone. He told me to text him when I got there so he could escort my friends and I inside. Lies he told! When we got there, the man wasn't even in sight. I texted him twice, got no response. I refused to get in contact with him again. As in...which kind thing be this? I did my part and invited a good amount of people to come out, now...why are you disgracing yourself? He almost spoilt my night, but I refused. As in...really though? Free work, no payment. He pleaded with me saying he was new in town and that my help will be highly appreciated. Liar liar! Oh well. He should never contact me again oh! My people and I just went inside and met up with the rest of the crew.
I had been told by my hair braider that the particular DJ performing was quite disappointing, but I didn't believe her. The organizer sent me his playlist and let me know he was legit. Walaahi...he had like current Naija music! How in the world was I going to believe her? You guys!!! I should have listened to her. As in...he kept on talking over the music, changing songs when 'the beat' finally dropped and just being weird. I just thank God that he had a few Afrobeats music as promised. My crew and I "murdered the dance floor" like there was no tomorrow. We know how to have a good time no matter the situation at hand, so we still cut up.
I'm extremely light-headed, so I only had one drink. I finally tried an amaretto sour! It was absolutely delicious, but I can absolutely say that one was more than enough for me. After a little bit, my head was almost all over the place. I'm such a lightweight, it's embarrassing. Lol.
The night was okay. Honestly didn't get much play, but I know I was on point *dusts her shoulders and does the shoki*
Me and my new boo Michelle. I met her at a family friend's birthday dinner. She's from Houston and is the bomb.com. We were at the graduation party in this pic. After we destroyed the dance floor, I was sweating SO BADLY! As in...I wanted to take off my beautiful new wolf's cardigan, but I was trying to be conservative because of Nigerian elders.
Ify and Dan. We call him 'Dan The Man'. Dan comes to town every few months and is always super sweet to the ladies

At the club. The heels had to come off. The DJ was dulling in full effect.
I'm so happy that I got to attend the Essence Festival 2015 concert on Saturday, July 4th! I went for the Expo for all three days in New Orleans, LA. On Friday, I met this guy and his friend while in line trying to take a photo at a booth. We chatted for a bit and went our separate ways. The following day, we saw each other again and he asked me if I was going to the concert. I told him that I didn't get a ticket, but that I was attending all days of the Expo. He asked me for my number. I gave it to him thinking that we were going to just to keep in touch. Later on that day, he sent me a text asking if I would be available to attend the concert with him for that night. I was like "Ogini?" I thought he was joking, but he was being ever so serious. I said YES!
I didn't have time to go home and change because traffic was insane, so I borrowed my sister's new cardigan which was really posh and cute (photo attached down below). I was relieved that I had my makeup in the car to touch up because it was a bit worn out. I met up with him at the concert and he escorted me in. We chatted for a bit as we walked up to the seats. I really wasn't feeling him that much after the short conversation, but I was going to give him a chance because he said that he had a crush on me and wanted to spend some time together before he left.
I thought he had some regular seats up above, but oh no! He had floor seats with very good views. I was like, who is this guy that was able to get me such seats last minute? I came to find out that he was an upcoming artist/ producer that a marketing company had flown in for the concert. They had given him an additional ticket for me. My head was swelling small. Lol. We had missed Common's performance, but we got to see Erykah Badu, Missy Elliot and Usher.
His friends that I had met earlier at the expo were already seated and were very nice. I actually had fun dancing and laughing with them all throughout the night. But, the guy though...I just was not feeling him cha cha. First off, his dress sense was very rough and his personal upkeep could have definitely been better. He had that rapper-esque style that I don't dig at all at all! Secondly, I had asked him what he had been up to all day and he openly mentioned 'smoking the weed'. I just couldn't deal! He then asked if I smoked, and I said "No...never". He in turn said that after hanging around him long enough, I will get high off what he and his friends smoke and eventually smoke with them. God forbid! I rebuked it immediately. That was such a turn-off! I just had to remind myself that I had to be grateful that I got such good seats out of a random act of kindness.
After the concert, I wanted to go home, while he and his friends wanted to go downtown. He told me that he really wanted me to join them. I told one of his friends earlier that I wasn't going to be able to make it downtown with them, and believe you me, I wasn't going to change my mind. It was obvious that his lifestyle didn't match mine and I wasn't sure where I would end up if I followed him downtown. I kindly declined the offer. He then asked if I wanted some company at home. I told him not to even worry about it because I would fall asleep and that would be rude. At this point I could tell he was upset. He was still nice enough to walk me to a cab and wished me a good night. We parted ways and that was that. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. They were a fun crowd to hang around with but it just would not have worked out between us.
Me and my wristbands
Missy Elliot killed it on stage! She was so enthusiastic and had the whole crowd jumping with her! I just didn't like that there were so many technical difficulties during her set. I was highly disappointed at Essence Festival's production team. It was Missy's first time performing for the festival and they should have been better prepared. They also cut off her set abruptly because they didn't want it running into the next performance. How rude!
Missy Elliott brought out one of her proteges (Sharaya J) and was the bomb.com on stage. It was my first time hearing of her and she was on point! Check out her performance below
Sharaya J- Banji (Essence Festival Performance 2015)
I am now the biggest Erykah Badu fan ever!!! This lady was phenomenal on stage (even the guy that got me tickets said he would marry him. I wasn't surprised). Her performance gave me chills! I wasn't really into her music, but always admired her style. She gave 100% energy on stage and her vocals were spot on!
I missed Common's performance #Booooo!!!!
So...I've never been a TRUE Usher fan. His performance was a bit lack luster for me and I found myself sitting down for most of it. Maybe age is catching up with him...I don't know. We left during his set. It just wasn't doing it for any of us.
If you don't know by now, Ify is my immediate younger bush baby sister. I am with this girl almost 24/7 and she hates it. Lol. I know she loves it deep down inside, if not... then too bad. It's the card life has dealt her and I love it!
Ify is highly fitness-oriented. She lost a lot of weight within the past two years and I'm extremely proud of her. She got invited for a second time to host a booth at The Lousiana Fit Chicks Expo in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and she dragged me along. I don't think I have mentioned it here, but if you know me very well, then you know I do not like exercise or working out cha cha!
As in, this girl has been trying to drag me along to work out with her for the longest time and I have only gone once with her in my lifetime. That day, I thoroughly embarrassed myself in the gym. After that, I ran away and hide from her whenever she's about to hit that dungeon. I just no get that kind physical energy. If something looks, sounds or feels heavy, I'm off to the left. Lol, but it's so true! I wear workout clothes because they look good and I give off the feel that I'm athletic. Lol. People always laugh at me because they think I have a workout regime until I tell them the truth. For where? I laugh with them jare!
I had a blast yet again at the Expo with her and her friend (Marie). Ify had a few prizes at her table and the attendees loved it. They had to do various workout moves to get a prize (I can't believe I didn't get a picture of the table). She had protein bars, bags, workout shorts, training packages etc. There was a squat challenge for the main giveaway which was a basket filled with a lot of pre and post workout goodies. Boy oh boy, this was the most popular challenge of the day! Everyone wanted to win that basket, but it was left down to two ladies who kept on squatting their lives away! As in, they did over 100 squats! The winner of the squat challenge scared me from the moment she came in. She was so built and muscular. As in, na babe that no man or woman should NEVER dare to mess with or it will be over. She was a sweetheart, but she was damn strong!
Overall, it was a great experience and I thoroughly enjoyed supporting Ify yet again!

What is Tinder?
Tinder is an online dating application that uses your Facebook info and pictures to help find you a match based on your location and preferences.
I was on the phone yesterday with one of my close friends (Kosi) and she told me that she started using the app for fun. I have heard of people who use it, but never used it in my life. I never used initially, because I thought I had to pay for it and I refused to pay to find love...(haahahaha). I also thought it would just be extremely weird. I had gone on a dating site before and the caliber of men I saw there was just unacceptable. They weren't well dressed, didn't smile right and definitely were not my style. I am quite open to dating men from different races (though I just don't think Asians and I are meant to be). That site was just null and void (seriously!). Since then, I had never gone on such a website again.
So, after you create a profile on Tinder, it starts finding potential matches within your geographic location. You can also narrow your preferences down to a particular age range, distance and gender of course. If you LIKE a picture you see and their bio, you swipe to the right. If you don't like what you see, then you swipe NOPE to the left. Now, the funny thing about it is that the only way they will know you liked their profile is if they also LIKE yours. If not, they won't ever know.
This app was created in 2012 and has an average of 50 million people using it each month! It has helped establish relationships and marriages within the short period since its launch. I just don't think it was made for me. As in, I was very upset yesterday. I wasn't really interested in anyone I saw because they're profiles were DULLING. I kept on swiping till I fell asleep. It bored me to the point that I slept at 8.00pm (that is a Guinness record for me!) I was swiping so fast that I mistakenly swiped the ONLY two I liked to the left and other two I had no interest in at all to the right. LOL!!! I was like "Am I mentally challenged or what? I just woke up not too long ago and realized that I'm actually stable. I told Kosi that I had given up, but she told me to chill like ice block and give it a second chance. She says that I will have fun. Why must fun be like punishment for me? Anyways sha, I will give this tinder another try, but if I don't like it again, it's going off my phone!
Have any of yal tried Tinder? If so, let me know about your experience.
HAPPY MONTH OF JULY to all my beautiful people out there.
Hope you're looking forward to a successful and progressive month! I know I am! I know this first week is going to be quite busy for me. I also have a bunch of Nigerian events coming up and there's an Afro-Caribbean club event coming up on July 10th!!! Yea!!! I have SOOOO been looking forward to this since May. Not only am I African, but I LOVE Caribbean men, music and their food! Like, what gets better than that!? Lol. The DJ for the event is Shane Talon and he is damn good! He's based in Atlanta, Georgia. Like, I got a chance to listen to his Afrobeats playlist and he is definitely current. A lot of DJs here in the U.S claim they know what they're doing with Afrobeats music and end up disappointing the hell of me down here.
One of my friends (Kosi) is also coming to town! I'm super excited to see her. She moved to Ohio over a year ago and it definitely hasn't been the same since she's left. Our "runs" have just not been the same (LOL). Before anyone starts shouting, we don't do prostitution! ABEG! We just call our movement and activities "runs"! My sister Ify and I are currently planning a bunch of stuff to do with her when she gets here. Also, it looks like were going to Texas for her cousin's wedding as well! #TurnUpWillBeOnAMillion!!! She invited us since last year, and we were behaving like we didn't hear word. Now, we've changed our minds and realized that we MUST enjoy the summer and paint the town RED! Hahahahha
