What's your Number?

So I was reading Afro babe's blog about the double standards when it comes to wimmens and sex. And I decided that I would create a some guidelines for some scandal-free chooking. (Thank me later)....

...Just because we all know that the number of men you've been with is such a huge deal to some of our Naija men.

And of course, I'm all about abstinence and blah blah but I realize say bodi no be firewood. :)

So mai ladies...especially my Naija ladies. You wanro chook die, but you get rep to protect? Follow these guidelines and everything go dey Ok. Hehehehehehe.....

1. Whatever you do, He MUST not be Nigerian (In terms of a Chook buddy, 1 night stand etc etc). So pretty much aim for Akata, Oyibo, Jamo..even Chinko sef go do the work.
2. If possible, target a man that doesn't live in your neck of the woods/Your hood/Your state/ Your country sef...lol
3. Chook away!!!! Keep it safe though.
4. Assuming you finally meet the Naija man of your dreams (If that's what you're looking for), and he asks you how men you've been with...*Pay attention ladies*..lol. Let's say you've been with a total of 10 men. Out of these 10, 7 of them were non-Naija...you know what to do. You simple maintain your angelic demeanour and tell him that you've been with 3 guys.
5. Invite me for your wedding. Ha Ha Ha!

Have a great weekend y'all.

Nigerians and Tact

That word must be missing from our dictionaries.
We tend to say the most off the wall things and while I understand that half of the time, it's really not intentional, I have lived in Obodo Oyibo for way too long to know that ok, we need to watch how we talk.
I find myself randomly browsing random people's picture comments on Facebook and I'll see comments like this---> 'You look like you've added o. Did you add?' (Add= Gain weight)...and I'm sitting there thinking no shit! If they look like they added, then spank me silly..they probably did!
Or---> 'Ahhh what happened to you? You've added o'..again, spank me silly!
Me sef, I've been subject to a few tactless comments. I remember when my aunt saw me last christmas and all she kept on harping about was 'how fat I've become'. Of course she must have been going from the days when I used to wear a size 3/4 in express pants and I upgraded to a size 5/6. Now that's fat?
Or the most recent one that inspired this post. I picked my mom up from the airport on Sarraday. She had flown in from Naija with a friend of hers that I haven't seen since 2005..so me na, I tok say make I go greet the woman.

Me: Aunty Good evening. *Reaches out for a hug*
Aunty: Mgbeke! *Hugs me back*...You've added. You have pimples. What happened?

*Blank stare*
I really and truly did brush it off my shoulders. For one, after the initial irritation, I realized that she was just being her typical Naija self and she probably didn't mean anything by it. Secondly, I have no issues with my weight and oh yes! I am a fine girl with pimples so no shaking.

I was just randomly thinking about how we Naija people tend to comment on everything we see without thinking hence the reason for his post.

Aniwoos hHow una dey sha? How ya weekend?
I'm enjoying the mom's visit actually o. The woman too dey worry sometimes sha...like I just KNOW she was one of them evil seniors who used to send ju babes up and down but it's all good.

A Shopaholic's prayer

Oh lord,
Please deliver me from the evil clutches of Urban Outfitters and Ebay. Lord, you know that I have no business exceeding my shopping budget. Father, with your grace I rebuke all enablers and the spirit of joblessness that leads me to these websites. I pray that by your grace, I will be strong and RESIST all forms of temptation.

AMEN!
