I can’t even lie. I love soft love. The type where both partners are equally crazy about each other, constantly looking out for each other and always thinking of ways to make each other happy.
There’s nothing as cozy as two wholesome people mumu-ing for each other honestly.
“Things started to fall apart at home when my brother, Jaja, did not go to communion and Papa flung his heavy missal across the room and broke the figurines on the etagere.”
The interesting thing about the abuse in Purple Hibiscus is that it is hidden in plain sight. You read it the first time and you don’t see it. You just enjoy the book and Kambili’s crush on Father Amadi.
And then you read it again when you’re much older and you’re shocked.
Weekend booty call hopefuls that text really late on Friday night actually kill me. Like your mates have been putting in work since Wed/Thur, do better kmt

I think as a country we have to come together and agree to stop caring about people’s accents, whether it’s spri-spri or it’s h-factor or r-factor. Let’s just move on
I fully understand side eyeing this but let’s not forget that they’re the ones in the actual situation and if they say everything is fine, we might want to consider taking their word for it
So your friend is getting married and you offer them a service for free as your contribution towards the never get an invite and they later tell you sorry they decided to invite only close friends and family.
Do you send them an invoice?
Works in oil & gas/works in banking were also pretty big in their time. In fact, tech only recently replaced the oil & gas one and yes, babes were clowned then for not knowing “where exactly” in oil & gas
As far as I know people didn’t use to have industry type in their criteria. It was more like roles, I want a dr, Engineer bla bla, even that I think wasn’t so common.
Now it’s ‘works in tech’
-Okay sis, I feel you but which role?
-He should sha work in tech.
You’re not serious
The Hermit is easily my favorite. It didn’t have a lot of elements so it was easy to draw. I also used this to try out a gradient style background and play with shades
Please don't be the douchebags sending emails at work when it’s not an emergency and it’s the holidays. Some of us like to maintain work-life balance and we slow down at this time of the year, and your lack of cooperation is affecting us.
Please don't be the douchebags not responding to emails at work when you are not on holiday just because it is Christmas. Some of us like maintaining our KPIs even at this time of the year, and your lack of cooperation is affecting us.
The term ‘monkeying around’ makes sense to me, monkeys are silly animals. ‘Horsing around’ pisses me off though, it’s very, very disrespectful… Pretty much every horse I’ve met has a job.
House hunting in Lagos is stealing my joy and draining my life force. All of you that have houses in this Lagos, are you telling me this is what you went through??
Lagos people will legit die before they greet you and it always gets me soo hot because I grew up in the north where it’s just normal to greet no matter what ughh
I miss listening to south south people speak pidgin. I remember hearing it for the first time in university and it’ll just crack me up. There’s something about the tone that can make even the most mundane thing funny af
The part I don't like about being a lady is that you have to choose from the guys that are interested in you ( correct me if I'm wrong) like you can't just walk up to a guy that you like and have him!!!
This year I was commissioned to photograph a few black farmers who also owned the land across the Mississippi Delta. This is Mrs. Ernestine Young of Clarksdale, Mississippi. I had the pleasure of photographing her on her farm and she gave me some of the best pepper jelly I ever.
If you like don’t prioritize work-life balance in your twenties. You’ll need it more when you’re older, with less energy. By then it’ll be much harder to learn and you’ll burn out quickly and be too tired most of the time to do the extra things you need to level up at that stages
One of the things I notice when I'm in Nigeria: the low expectations. In my own house, so many little things are broken here and there. No one seems bothered by it, until I come back and it grates my every nerve.
Things like shower heads, mirrors, shaky chairs.
