Today, I’d like to - once again- address people in their early 20s.

When I graduated from Uni in 2006 (22 years old) I had a plan - Work for a movie company, save, write my own movie. The plan didn’t work after NYSC when I realised those movie companies didn’t pay much/at all.

Sometimes, I would walk to Opebi from Maryland Bus-stop because I couldn’t afford public transportation so I changed plans: Get a job that pays you, make money, then write. My goal was to be a writer so any job I took at the time was okay as long as I was making money.

In 2008, I worked in a wealth management firm as a receptionist- my first real job. I would hear conversations about investments but mostly they were huge sums that seemed far-fetched at the time. I was just striving to survive and my belief was that only rich people invest,

There are seven things I wish I knew earlier in life. Not that I regret my experience so far in life, I only wish I knew certain things sooner.

1. That love is an action, not mere words: So that when people tell me sweet nothings, I do not fall for all they say, helplessly, because you can tell me you love me, but not want the best for me. I want to hear you say you love me, but I want to feel it even more.

2. That my time and season will come, I need not worry about a thing: God is neither late nor early; He is always on time. Whatever I am meant to be, I will be, in due time. I do not need to be anxious for anything.

We curated a list on the benefits of living alone. Swipe to see! 💃🏽

1. You can be naked any and every time: You can parade your house naked, with all your God-given features hanging! You can even cook naked. It’s just you in your natural form. Bliss!

2. You don’t have to deal with anybody’s mood swings: one minute some people are acting all sweet and homely, and the next minute, they are being rude and nasty. Living alone would save you from this stress, honestly.

On this platform, we address the men 98 out of 100 times when it comes to issues that concern us. During these conversations, I don’t see women asking me to switch the questions back at them (the women). We focus on the exact topic (s) and discuss it.

When I address women directly, I see comments like, “Ife, the right thing to do is to ask the men why…”

But today I’m addressing the women dear, shall we stay focused?

So many odds are stacked against women already; we know that, we address that.

However,

some ladies get upset when a sad truth is being addressed about women, I suddenly become judgemental, the things I have not implied become implied, the lines between my statements are no longer paragraphs but invisible space loaded with meanings I myself haven’t even thought of;

One time in 2008 I had just started taking myself out to fancy restaurants once in 3 months because even though I was cash poor, I still needed rich people enjoyment so I saved for that.

Anyway, Sunday afternoon I’m at the restaurant looking at the menu,

making calculations in my head pe, which one is within my budget?

One uncle walks up to me to chat me up. I’d seen in him magazines so I knew he was a rich man’s son.

“What are you having?” He asked

“Pasta,” I responded.

He said, “Niceeee…

People think Italy makes the best Pasta but I know the US does. What do you think?”

LEEEMAUU.

Is this boy whining me? Me that I’d never been on a plane in my entire life, how would I know?

So I said, “I’ve never been to both countries, I’ll decide when I go.”

Eight Candidates of Hehfaya

1. People who fart inside a congested vehicle: People will be on their way home from work, tired and stressed, in a congested vehicle, and you will dim it fit to just mess! You look at everybody from heads to toe and you pollute? You’re a wicked pepsin!

2. People who lend out an item they borrowed from someone else: They dash you something and you decided to do giveaway with it. You even said “You can bring it anytime you are free.” Ah! Are you a good person like this?
