LADY HEL

I am a Yoruba girl and I have the "H" factor like most other Yoruba people. Mine isn't just as terrible and noticeable as theirs because I have a good command of English.*Head swells. I no dey try form accent. I just pronounce words right. Most times, I get favor when I speak. To avoid the "H" thing, I either avoid words that begin with the letter or I try extra care but its usually when I'm being careful I goof. On one of my shifts, I was on night shift with MAQUIN of RayPower FM,Abuja and after he introduced himself, he had to introduce me. He was like..."There is one special, precious lady in the studio..." and after all the whining and head swelling description, he asked me to introduce myself. Maquin calls me "Lady L" on all his shows so after throwing jabs at Maquin, I was like..."Alright Abuja, its lady HEL in the house"...I added "HE" to the L. Oh Lord!!!...The ground refused to swallow me so I

Hello Lovers, Its great to be here today. Like I said in my last post, I've been thinking much about the blog and where I want it to be. One of my plans include exchange of guest posts with other bloggers but someone advised me against that. She said I should carve my own niche first and let my readers know who I am and what I'm about before I start bringing others into my blog. What do you all think about this? As usual, some of "us" will send our comments through pings. Ba wahala. Its just going to be lovely seeing your comments here. A big "SHOUT OUT" to my only and regular comment dropper here for now..."Ruthylicious". I write because I know you will comment. You are "awemazing". In your own words. Other plans for the blog include group writing projects, readers articles and interactions, blog quiz and book reviews much later. Most special plan is what I will call "Pleasure Job Hazards and Mistakes" and &

IN TOGETHERNESS......Katherine

I remember Kate today. She was a great friend though we were not too close. You know those friends that you can always call on and they will always answer you. She was such a friend. Soo precious. The age difference was clear and long but she did not care. She was still a friend. Kate was beautiful, had the African woman shape with a slim body so she could get any man she wanted. Anyways, Kate got into a toxic relationship. I remember there was this meeting Kate used to hold with her best friend every Sunday. It was a kind of get together. This guy, I dunno his name (I would have loved to use it)...started by putting her down in front of her best friend who used to manage to fight for her but how do you fight for someone who thinks she's always wrong. After a while, the guy stopped her from being friends with her best friend. He really used to beat her silly then. On one occasion, he beat her and she called *bestie to save her so they became friends again. She

THAT TOXIC LOVE

Hello lovers.. I'm sorry for my long unannounced absence. I started a course in Lagos and i haven't settled down yet. Things been happening mehn... At the same time, I've been thinking much concerning the blog and i will share with you when i make a choice or when i need you to come in. I should have posted this since as it was in drafts but.... Anyways, here...  ***** Commenting is your right. Do so please. Yesterday, someone-*LADI, called my dad. She complained her landlord was giving her problems and she wants to move out. Dad dropped the call and mum having overheard the conversation said "I don't pity her. She should go back to her husbands house. I was angry in my spirit, body and soul at her comment. Apparently, *Ladi married *Chidi who is my church member. He is a rich guy with chains of business and he behaves nice. After marriage, *Chidi started beating *Ladi. He had a son outside marriage who is in secondary school and two brothers I know
