Love Oh Love


Before now I hear people saying that there's an age limit to love. You'll hear them say things like "at her age she's still planning on getting married? '' and I must say that I used to have that ideology too. But as I'm typing this now, I'm somewhere in akabo, IMO state ( I dunno the exact place) at a traditional wedding. The decor is beautiful and the aroma of the food is too inviting. I've already ordered my own food, a plate of ukwa (breadfruit) with fried fish and a tall glass of palmwine( trust me nah). So in this beautiful place with the beautiful decor, I saw something beautiful (feel the rhyme?) I saw LOVE.
I can't really say how I'm related to the lady but according to mom we're related. Before today I didn't even know her but from what I was told she was once married and unfortunately it wasn't to the man of her dreams, she was a victim of domestic violence and barely made it out alive. They were married for 13 years and during the 13 years she lost 2 pregnancies during his regular beatings and when she was finally brave enough to walk away, she found out she had nothing, not even a child to her name. She started from scratch, years passed and finally she was favoured and got a job in the company. The company gives certain staff opportunity ro travel to other countries for both business and pleasure and on one of those business trips she met Mr Emeka (her husband now), and they hit it off. They must have hit it off so well that I'm here sitting and waiting for my plate of ukwa while admiring the nice 'nkiru weds emeka' banners.
Emeka on the other hand lost his wife and had three lovely children, 2 girls and a boy (who's totally my speck by the way). Emeka is 64 and nkiru is 49 (trust me I did my research). When my mum told me to accompany her I didn't want to go cause I felt it was old people's love. I was right, but I was wrong too.
     Looking at them now, I see love. It's giving me goosebumps, it's like they have eyes for only each other and its beautiful. They might not be young again, they might not have been fortunate to find it then, but the most important thing is that they finally found it. I wish I could go for the white wedding, but I'll need a visa for that one since its going down in Canada. All I can do is wish you a happy and blissful marriage and just like today, may you always have eyes for each other till death do you part. (Do I hear an Amen?)
   Omg.... I'm tearing up, lemme go and grab a tissue. Later guys I have a wedding and a plate of ukwa to get back to.

50 SHADES OF GREY- That’s how she likes it!

If you didn’t read my last two post, you might not understand this. To read that story, Click here.            My friend edidiong is fifty shades of crazy! I finally visited after fighting with my guilt and practicing what I’d tell her in front of my mirror. Funny enough, she seemed perfectly fine. I didn’t want to be the one to start the “how are you feeling after getting raped” conversation, so I decided to go with the flow. She’d made a little jollof rice first so we sat down to eat it, she insisted that she had to buy drinks which I told her was not really necessary but trust edidiong to go out of her way to make you comfortable. She went to buy the drinks so it was just me in her house. I can’t say how long I waited, but I knew it wasn’t long I heard a knock. I thought it might be edidiong trying to be funny; I got up smiling and went to open the door and my smile faded, behold it was idy! Immediately I went into attack mode. He was like “Oma wassup?” (he was actually smiling! Wh

Jinxed!

Jinx Noun (plural jinxes) 1. A hex: an evil spell 2. A person or thing supposed to bring badluck Synonyms > (hex) curse, voodoo, Indian sign, spell.               Well all these is what my dictionary told me, but the way I remember this word is quite different. Thinking of it now takes me back to secoundary school, whenever two or more people said the same thing at the same time, whoever was faster would scream jinx! and hit the other. I believe it all started from Mr Thomas, our biology teacher telling us that when two or more people said the same words at the same time that it'd bring badluck and so to cancel that badluck you should scream jinx ( I have no idea who added the hitting part). Since it involved hitting another person and lots of running, we were more than happy to oblige. It was years later that I understood that Mr Thomas was pulling our legs and we took it all too seriously.          Now you're wondering why I'm suddenly talking about jinx right?

CHEAT- PART II (Men and soups)

                  Sometimes I hear guys and ladies refer to us (the opposite sex) as soups. They’ll say things like “oma I can’t be faithful to one person oo, how will somebody eat only eguisi (melon) soup all the days of their lives? You no go tire? No 1. Nobody begged you in the first place to go and marry wife/husband or get girlfriend/boyfriend that you can’t and have no plans to be faithful to. Later when your partner catches you and does something, you’ll start saying things like women are evil or men are wicked.                    I saw a picture sometime of a woman that cooked her cheating husband’s penis with indomie noodles and people were seriously bashing her. I only felt she should have at least grilled or fried it (the dick) first. I believe it would’ve looked prettier. No 2. Since we’re talking about soups, personally I love eguisi soup ( I mean, what is there not to love?) now because I love eguisi soup I can eat it anywhere and everywhere. Today it might be eguisi and

The poet

          Sometimes I get inspiration to write when I’m at really weird places, like right now I’m in the toilet.  Don't look so shocked!  😄😄😄 When I’m bored I look at random people and try to guess their story. Just a game a play by myself. I’m looking at this girl now and all I can feel is sadness. I don’t know her but she looks like someone who’s been terribly hurt. I try to look away and I finally succeed though I still turn around to look at her one more time before going my way, I was to pressed to hang around and study her more. Sitting in the toilet now, I remember that sad looking girl and these words just keep playing in my head. “ I know of a girl A girl who doesn’t care A girl who doesn’t believe in love A girl who thinks it’s underrated A girl who has been hurt and now she CARESless” I’m not really a poetic person and so I don’t even know where this inspiration came from. All thanks to that strange sad girl for bringing out the poet in me. I’ll always reme

THE RAPE!

Wonders shall never end o!            Edidiong cannot and will not put me to shame. So yesterday, I was on my own and my friend edidiong called me and asked if I was free so she could come over. Truth be told, I was actually really bored at home.  So in about 25 minutes edidiong was in my house, we gisted and laughed for a little while and then while we had noodles she told me about her new boyfriend Michael. Edidiong got a call then and was like I should accompany her to see a friend. I asked her the location and who exactly was sponsoring the waka (journey), she said the bills were on her.                 Dear diary, since the bills were on edidiong who was I not to agree. When we got there I found out that edidiong didn’t know this guy from Adam and that my safety wasn’t sure. I expected edidiong to feel uncomfortable or something, but she was cool almost too cool. I wasn’t comfortable at all. The next thing, we were offered a bottle of magic moment and edidiong was downing sho
