I find it so hard to forget how when I first started out as a content writer, my mom would take screenshots of my posts from IG and repost on WhatsApp, then write stuff like “my daughter is so brilliant” and “follow my daughter for more tips like this” in her caption.💗
idk but i love it when someone dear to me falls asleep whenever they’re with me. there’s something so peaceful about it. the way i’ll keep making sure i don’t wake them up is something that thrills me. like yes, you feel comfortable with me, so have a lovely rest🥹.
I hope you get enough money to meet your needs. enough to spoil yourself & those you love. i hope you have moneyyy - money that you might not need to spend immediately but looking at it in your bank account gives you enough reason to smile and have peace of mind🤭.

fr fr, it’s really difficult to find clothes when you have a small body but your chest is the only part of your body that’s large, cause now you’ve got to pick out a dress that fits at the bust, but looks weird on the rest of your body lmao
@Anyisabali
Because young men are substituting as fathers and taking on fatherly responsibilities, and they aren’t complaining about it doesn’t invalidate the experiences and complaints of women/ladies who’re taking on motherly roles.
being shamed or pressured for not wanting to talk and for wanting to be quiet sometimes. some days, i just want to be mysterious, quiet, left alone and that’s ok.
the part that thrills me the most about liking someone, is watching how those feelings grow stronger, day by day. it’s really fascinating.
the way your ‘like’ grows into love and care. and the way you both become more comfortable around each other. it’s so cute urghh🥹
emotional safety in romantic relationships is actually a big deal. and that’s why sometimes, you’d see a person so happy and having this special type of glow when they’re in a relationship, but it’s not majorly the love, the good sex or the gifts. it’s the emotional safety✨.
Was ranting to my dad about something and how I didn't want to tell him because of how expensive it was & my dad went *in Yoruba*— "yemi, if i can't afford it, i will let you know. but yk now, i will still look for a way to get it for you. nothing's too expensive."
you guys🥺🥹
one thing my man will always do, is to make sure i’m well-fed.
“you want it?” - “Take it.”
“you want more?” - “Have it.”
“you haven’t tasted this?” - “I’ll buy for you/Have some.”
“oh, it tastes nice?” - “Take mine.”
“you’re enough?” - “Take more.”
a man that feeds you>>>
God, I cried during that Lekki Massacre. i can still remember how i was shaking from so much anger and helplessness. they laughed in our faces. they mocked us. mocked our pain. mocked our rights.
me when i get married:
“my husband said..” “my husband did..”
“my husband bought..” “my husband was..” “my husband told..” “look at what my husband…” “my husband went..” “my husband” “my husband” “my husband.”
i’m going to “my husband” everyone to death🤭.
Adufe was a subtle emotional blackmailer. Ijoba delivered perfectly, as always🤌🏾. Oga Rambo sure wowed me with that performance😂👏🏾. a character I was really in tune with, was that of Frank- I loved how gentle, soft & expressive he was (most guys are never this way).
i’m such a sucker for love notes and letters. i believe so much thoughtfulness, affection, intentions to make the reader (me) smile, cute flashbacks while writing & vulnerability, goes into - the letter/note head. the paragraphs. the words. the conclusion. everythingg. urggh🥹🫦
one of my non-negotiables in relationships, is safety. i enjoy feeling safe in my relationships. not safe in terms of ‘settling’, or “oh this is comfortable”, but more in terms of relationships where i feel safe to speak & express. safe to feel. safe to run to. safe to think.

I believe that most people supporting that babe are intentionally turning blind eyes to the motive of the whole cook-off. she and her church aren't doing that for GWR, they're doing that for their own pockets and clout. very tasteless and classless behavior.
each time i think of the fact that a woman’s body is conditioned to never catch a break, i always let out a huge sigh. from pre-menstrual periods. to ovulation. to menstrual periods. to pregnancy. and to menopause too. there are really no breaks in between.
Something I've learnt from being in the waiting period, is that the waiting period isn't often for waiting *literally* for God to answer your prayers. it is the period where you have to hold on to patience and faith like never before. it is the period where you make sure you're
craving all those lit date nights where i’m the passenger princess & he’s the bad man looking good in dior. or trads. or whatever. but ik we’d both be so lost in each other. singing aloud love songs to, and with each other. also, high and tipsy af from being so much in love.
Is only happen in southern part of this country where you can never see a girl above 20 that is virgin.
So once you marry lady in the south you know You are eating someone else’s cold leftovers,then doing their dishes.
I swear to God I'm virgin. And we're plenty in the north.
breakups from any kind of relationship are tough. very tough. especially when it happens so unexpectedly. one minute you can't fathom the idea of not speaking to them regularly anymore. one minute, you can’t imagine yourself not being in their company anymore.
@aliyahInterlude
getting heartbroken & having to act like you’re normal when you know quite sure that you’d bump into them at uncountable times- everyday. Lord never again😂
first of all, the makers of the movie ought to be applauded for not tailoring the movie to fit cliché Nigerian backgrounds, unlike most Nollywood movies do. It also balanced & showed the contrast between the elites, the average, the below average & as well, the ghetto.
i really don’t like needing people. it makes me feel clingy. makes me to overthink my neediness & then say stuff like“i’m sorry for disturbing,”“i’m sorry for calling,” “i’m sorry.” i need you but at the same time i don’t want to be a burden. now i’m a hot mess of emotions. ffs.
God is taking my dreams, my plans and my desires. He’s making them bigger, better and more blessed. He’s multiplying them. My sad moments are becoming joyful ones. My little’s becoming a lot. He’s preparing me for my offshoot into greatness✨
happy international women’s day to the women who’re works in progress. the women who’re confused/tired but still trying. the women who don’t ‘have their shit together’. the women who’re still trying to figure it out.
luv you💗!
this new year is going to be filled with a lot of joy, strength, softness, peace and “I did it”, “it’s here!”, “congratulations”, “life’s good”, “I can’t explain this joy”. I’m super pumped✨.
i find it sick when a couple or one of ‘em posts videos or pictures of they & their partner together, and then people are in the comments saying stuff like “it will end in tears”, “he/she will still cheat”, “he/she is not even fine”, “see her shape lol”. it’s sick & irritating.
Dating someone who’s beautiful to look at and who you’re also physically attracted to is so top-tier. Their attitude and reactions might piss you off sometimes but their face and their appeal will always always draw you back in.
my name is Busayo, also known as Joan or busayojoan. i really love laidback music. i am a writer who writes pieces on every topic, you just name it. i write song reviews & movie reviews as well. doubling as a poet, i have an exquisite taste for good good poetry.
It’s not just about having a lot of friends, it’s about having good friends—friends with whom you share a space where you get to share, to hold, to vouch for, to rest, to confide in, to laugh, to sob, and to depend on.
Defence Minister of Nigeria says you should not be a coward and defend yourself against armed bandits.
Yet same govt doesn’t allow Nigerians to own proper guns for self defence.
So if bandit with RPG and AK47 attacks you, just face him with catapult and frying pan.
Mad people.

i hate it when writers are treated this way. it's so so discouraging man, like how is it the writer's fault that the book isn't selling? why won't you pay a writer for the job done? people are despicable.
posting your conversation with someone, where they were being vulnerable and baring their feelings to you, is just horrible. and atp, it’s getting weird to do stuff like that.
it’s never cringe, kdrama actually has one of the best movie plots. Also, one thing kdrama will always do is to overdeliver every single genre of their shows. Tragedy?- it’ll be sad af. Mushy/happy/funny?- your sides will ache too bad. Evil?- you’d cuss the villain out too much.
sorry, but statistics show that more often than not, women are the ones leaving the men, so most men are actually the ones being thrown out of the matrimonial home because they are bad and horrible husbands.🙊
the best kinds of romantic relationships are the ones that are private but with a little bit of show-off & “everyone, look at my baby!” ; the type where you don’t hide the fact that you’re in a relationship. the type where you consistently geek over your baby. that’s my type.✨
not to be bitter or something but if the men want to be recognized/celebrated/noticed, i believe the men should be at the forefront for that. men should do that for themselves. not them waiting for women/feminists to harp on about them on a day meant for THEM.
it’s beginning to make more sense to me when people say that “kids are a reflection of their parents.” ‘cause as i grow older, i realize just how much i have in common with my parents, including some of their traits that i dislike + i’m not even done realizing all the traits lol.
as a natural giver, one thing i always hope for is not to come across/get close to people who’ll exploit me, and that if that ever happens, that i’m able to never look back at them in pity/kindness. that i’m able to burn bridges & use the charcoal to cook rice and beans and stew.

It is so refreshing to know that there are people who root for you and always want the best for you— It feels good to know that there is someone other than yourself who wants to see you prosper.
i’d love to experience going on a really fun date with someone i love; a date at a museum/art gallery where we ‘stare’ and “aww” at terrific stuff. then we’d get massages together. and then, go on a long walk. spend time together without our phones except for pictures and videos.
@WalleLawal
It’s so refreshing to read this from a man— someone who understands the point that many women have been trying to get across that the whole fuss is not really about “cooking.” It’s about the uncouth entitlement to subservience and superiority.
- being empathetic.
- actually listening.
- comprehension.
- doesn’t make you look stupid.
- being kind just because..
- not forcing their opinions down people’s throat.
- realizes when they’re the problem.
- doesn’t trash talk women.
- isn’t a faux feminist.
fiction is the real b cause i’m sure she’s usually like “i know i’m so untrue and imaginary but i’m still going to make you cry. laugh. melt like butter. scared. keep you on the edge. angry. i’ll make you feel a thousand emotions all at once”.
