Mine

 Hey guys, welcome to the blog. Sorry for my abrupt break in transmission here and there, a girl needs to be in the right frame of mind to write. So valentine is coming, you know the rest of that annoying song (eyes rolled), but if you don't have a girlfriend/boyfriend, I'm here to offer you pick up lines so you can #oxlaid and chill. Read and be booed up, hopefully.


How does one own a thing, moreso a person...
I reckon it's not in words,
It's not in monetary evaluation either,
Time shared?
Definitely not in the number of hugs and kisses.

So what's the right tender to lay claim to ownership of a being?
Could it be in sharing experiences?
Maybe in making memories...
Or it might come from shared emotions...
Could it be from identical traumas,
Or similar vulnerabilities?


(The pick up lines)
How do I lay claim of your soul?
I'm not the grim ripper, rest easy, I don't come loving your soul only to take it away.
I want to nurture you,
I want to rejuvenate every part of you that has been doured by life's tussle,
I want to better your person, giving to you until you're satiated and then I'd give some more.

How do I bring you to understand this need for ownership?
For darling if you're mine, I know the responsibility to which I'm saddled,
To love you exclusively, earnestly and wholly.
To add to your good days,
To take away as much as I can, from your bad days,
To bring laughter and cheer into your glum days,
To be your home of serenity.


Yet maybe ownership is not the word...
Maybe all I want is to be crested in your crevices,
So that when the days are lonely and you feel like everything is failing, you can look within, and I'll be there burning for you, and you'd be satisfied knowing that all that I am - might not be all that you need, but it's enough that you have me regardless.
Maybe all I desire is that you consider yourself mine and I yours.

If e no work, charlie, abobby, my guy, we tried.

  Definition What defines you? At your very core, who do you think you are? What labels or titles are merely add-ons and which ones truly represent you? Hi lovelies, been eons right? Welcome to the blog, we’re almost four years old and it has been an enthralling journey. For the better part of my adult life, I struggled to find myself. Every time I was asked, ‘tell me about yourself in an interview’, I froze. Who am I? When asked what I believed in, I could only muster up to say, God and family. But what does that mean? Who are you? What are your values? What do you believe in? Do these questions keep you up at night or cause you to freeze during a somewhat peaceful moment? Do they come to you as a great epiphany during the cool of day or greet you right after supposedly doing your best? More than anything else, do you have answers for them? The past five years of my life I spent dating a man who challenged me intellectually. I mean he passed more for a mentor some days than my partner

In her bid to advice me mother said - I no gree, I no gree na em dey cause trouble be polite; If dem holla at you, smile tell dem say I dey greet; If dem many, follow another road, bet make sure say u no follow nkoro way; If dem quack you, shift body tell dem sorry.

   It’s an unpopular opinion that mental health issues in Nigeria just means you’re kolo. After this, any other thing is just seeming rubbish. Unfortunately in Nigeria, there are a lot of people who are seemingly okay because of the fear of negligence or stigma that comes with saying that they are either mentally unwell or destabilized. These things should never be overlooked especially with the upheaval of suicides in the country.   WHO describes mental health as an important and essential component of health, which is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being not just the absence of disease or infirmity. Simply put one’s mental health can affect the way one thinks, operates, and relates with others.  Mental/behavioral disorders worry people of different tribes, races, ages, and strata (jobless/wealthy) yet, there is still goodly neglect of mental health. In 2006, WHO-AIMS estimated that 20-30% of Nigerians suffered from mental health/behavioral disorders. That mean
