Keeping The Dream Alive: a Lagos bus conductor takes the lead!

Happy Monday happy people! I hope you all had a great weekend and are all fired up for this day. Here is something to inspire you. I hope you have a great day. Enjoy!

What does Monday mean to you? Does it mean the beginning of another week of slavery? Did you wake up this morning with the feeling that the weekend should have lasted longer? I am sure many people in the world feel the same way that you do. Monday is the first day of activities in a new week and it means you actually have an opportunity to set your dreams in motion, don’t worry too much about that terrible job or boss.

Question of the day: is it wrong for a boyfriend to take care of his girl’s financial needs?

Hmmm! This is a very difficult topic for me to write about briefly but I will try and make my point. So I had this conversation with a male friend who just told me that he broke up with his fiancée because she was too demanding. According to him, the girl wanted him to take care of her financial needs even though she had a job.

Photos from my Lagos party

So I finally got to see Lasgidi city alive last night and my feet are still sore from the party. The fun was simply amazing and the music, wow! I hope you guys are enjoying your weekend and staying out of trouble. Anyway, see photos from the party and enjoy your day (smiling). Remain happy and spread the happiness around. xoxo

Lagos-Ibadan Expressway Accident leaves 6 people dead and leads to Heavy Traffic Jam

I am really trying my best to avoid reporting bad news but I really can’t help this one. If you have any business along the Lagos – Ibadan expressway, you may want to take an alternative route or reschedule because of the serious traffic.

A fatal accident involving multiple vehicles occurred this morning June 27 along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway and has left about six people dead and several others injured.

"We can have oral sex but no penetration"

I have been trying to find inspiration since morning and it is finally here. My post for today is inspired by a story I just read about a girl that is complaining about losing a nice guy she just met because he attempted to rape her (after she allowed him perform oral sex on her). That is the summary of the story. She also narrated how she visited the guy at his house many times and according to her, they always engaged in oral sex each time she was there. She refused penetration, because she is abstaining from sex and saving herself for her husband. I think it is very interesting that a woman makes such a decision and tries to maintain it.

Lagos explosion not a bomb attack but caused by fuel tanker, police say

Thank goodness! I was getting scared already about this explosion. The explosion occurred yesterday in Creek Road, Apapa at about 8pm and some people claimed it was a bomb explosion. However, the Lagos State Police Command says the explosion was caused by a petrol tanker.

Loving the imperfect person perfectly

Today’s story is a beautiful love story I could not help telling because we all need to be reminded of the beautiful side of love. I write in first person narrative so some of these stories are not necessarily mine (not saying this one is or isn't though). Anyway, if you are in love or have ever been in love, this is for you. If you've never been in love, love is a beautiful thing. Enjoy!

It’s a year already and it feels like only yesterday when we just met. I can’t believe we made it this far. It all started with a simple “can we be more than friends?” which he said after we had been just friends for a while. Saying ‘yes’ was the best thing I ever did because this has been the best months of my life.

21 confirmed dead and 17 seriously injured in Emab plaza Bombing

I have tried my best to stay away from publishing any bad news about Nigeria because this blog is for feel good things and not bad news but I really can't help this one because it is really sad. Another bomb blast took place in Emab Plaza, Wuse 2, Abuja this afternoon.

The Super Eagles of Nigeria has made it through to the knock out stages of the 2014 FIFA World Cup against all odds (Messi’s magic). 

Easy Wednesday: Be inspired because you are alive!

I woke up with a really weird feeling today and I couldn't understand why. I have been feeling really strange. I can't even describe the feeling but now that I am writing this, I feel so much better. It really helps to do the things you love anytime you don't understand yourself. Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading this and if you are going through anything, I hope reading this makes you feel better. Enjoy!

Its midweek already and you haven’t achieved all you set out to achieve for this week. You are not even halfway through them and the week is almost over. You are panicking and going crazy, blaming yourself for not doing all you said you would do.

I love Naija: in my arrogant opinion

Happy people, this story has given me so much concern that I am forced to write about it even though I don't do politics. I think this is worth talking about so here we go...

Guys, please explain this to me, how did a person who is still under trial for corruption get votes talk more of winning an election? I simply don't understand this.

I love Naija: The situation turns almost all of us to 'Professional beggars'

I wanted to write about this sooner but unfortunately, some other things came up because I am alive and that means so many things on my mind at all times. Hmmmm! So I arrived safely

Corruption in Nigeria: are the Citizens as guilty as the government?

I went to the Nigerian immigration office today to renew my passport and here is a brief story of what happened. I got to the gate, and while passing through the security point, I was asked of the reason for my visit and I stated the reason.

Another Bomb Blast in Kano Nigeria? Gosh!

I just read about this now and I really don't know what to say. Vanguard reports about a bomb blast this afternoon around 2 PM at the School of Health Technology located along Gida Murtala–B UK Road in Kano state that has killed scores of people.

The confident woman: 5 easy tips to achieving that

As a lady, low self esteem can drive you nuts and damage you inside and outside. It literally makes you fight with everything around you. If you have ever felt this way, reading and applying these suggestions can give you a helping hand. I hope you enjoy reading this and remember, you are not alone.

• Nice smell: as a lady, it is very important that you take care of yourself and try your best to smell nice. I personally would give anything to smell nice. Smelling nice doesn’t require expensive designer perfumes, but requires good personal hygiene which starts by taking a bath at least twice a day for a lady.

Have a laugh and be happy

Nigerians and their love-hate relationship with Super Eagles

'Go super eagles', 'up super eagles', 'I love super eagles' - these are just a few of all the praises that Nigerians are raining on the super eagles following their 1-0 win over Bosnia & Herzegovina in the 2014 FIFA World Cup group F match last night, 21/06/2014.

He was a true gentleman but I am not emotionally ready

My sincere apologies to all you my dear readers for the long silence, I have been trying to settle down and though I am not fully settled, I just could not wait to share this interesting story with you all. It is true that as women, we tend to be so protective of ourselves that we are often afraid to give a great guy a chance. If you've ever been there, you are not alone. I hope you enjoy reading this piece and give it a second thought...

It was the way he looked at me, his eyes couldn’t stop stealing glances at me at every opportunity that he had. I noticed it but pretended like I didn’t and concentrated on the book I was reading or pretending to read. You cannot blame me; I am only a lady and what can I do than to keep being a lady. We played ‘the stealing glances’ game for a while until I fell asleep. Yes I was tired and it was going to be a long flight from the South to the West so I had to sleep.

My 'aha' moment at O. R. Tambo airport- no Nigerian airways

I got to the airport too early for my flight and you know what that means - a lot of time to wonder about and look around too. One thing that got me thinking was all the different airlines I saw. I also realised that in an international airport like this one, I couldn't find Nigerian airways and that really got me wondering about why we don't have a National carrier. Seriously guys what happened to Nigerian airways? I am seeing all these other airlines like Malawian air, Kenya airways, etc. and there is no Nigerian Airways. Oh! Maybe they don't fly to South Africa lol. I love my great country Nigeria and I am proudly Naija. Enjoy the rest of your day people. You will hear from me as soon as I get to my destination and settle in. Remain happy and spread happiness. Xoxo

How to make a good first impression on a lady on Facebook.

I have decided to write about this because of what has been happening to me lately. To all my Facebook friends that will read this, I don’t mean any disrespect but I want us to improve our conversations.

I log on to Facebook and I am notified about a new friend request, I check out the profile of the person, and then accept the friend request. I don’t have a problem with that because
