Dr. Earnest's Graduation Party

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!

This Girl Wan Spoil My Name

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!

Why Are You Doing This Mr. May D???

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.

Naija Babe Behavior 101

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.

Kofi Got Me A Kente Purse and Eating Out Solo

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.

I just left it sitting on the table so everyone could get cultured as they stared at it

That pasta though!!!!

Boredom = Blue Lagoon MakeUp Look

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

No Play Means No Kilishi

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
