How many more Twitter threads?

How many more hashtags?

How many more essays?


How many more hot takes?


How many more battles?


How many more ensuing losses? 


How many more? 


What’s it gonna take for women to just be left alone? Hate it here. Absolutely detest the dread of terror a spoilt, wicked, uncontrollable & reckless creature potentially places on my womanhood. Hate. Hate. Hate it. 


PSA: There is no space for rape apologists or murder-sympathizers here.

ENOUGH. Somewhere in an ancient town tucked within the ambit of Edo State is an inconsolable wail of sorrow too raw for words from a mother who has lost her will to live, a father who has lost the pride of his heart, a sister who has lost her best friend and confidante, a  course mate who has lost her partner in aspiration, a lecturer who has lost a bright and talented student, a choir that has lost an angel. Uwa Omozuwa. Lost to a senseless, barbaric, heart-wrenching kill. And for what? Sexual pleasure, with other layers of cruel undertones, although open to theories and guesses, are yet to be ascertained. Somewhere not excessively far off is a fed up and  distraught, 20 something year old woman, struggling to make sense of it all. Unable to close her eyes without being fed the image of this young and beautiful woman, only just a few years younger, who barely a week ago had her whole life ahead of her. Even as I type these very words, it’s incon...

2017 IN REVIEW: 7 THINGS I AM GRATEFUL FOR Hello, lovelies! In my previous post, I considered leaving a little thank you message at the tail end as I had assumed it would be my last post for the year. How wrong I was- and so thankful I am, because how awful would it have been ending the year without sharing some of the biggest lessons I have learnt this year with you? There really would have been no coming back from that, would there? 😁 So, in the next few lines, keeping it as short as I possibly can, I am going to share seven things I am really thankful for this year. With that will come snippets of some of the things I have also learnt in the process of enjoying these blessings. If you're as ready as I am, let's get it moving. 1. GOD'S LOVE IS AMAZING! In 2017, God well and truly overwhelmed me with His love. I think this was the year that I came to the full realization that when He says in His Word, how much He cares about me, He does mean every single wo...

DEAR NIGERIANS, BEING IN BED BY 10PM ISN'T THE PROBLEM, YOUR MENTALITY IS.

I got into a mild argument with my Mother last night. And as is often applicable within emotionally arduous circumstances, I hated the process but I loved the outcome. Interestingly, our squabble didn’t stem from a typical or momentous causative factor such as relationship drama, shamelessly dozing off at morning devotion or recklessly letting the dishes pile up in the kitchen- in which case, I would usually be the culprit in all of these scenarios. (Or the victim, depending on the lens you choose to use. ) Instead, good ol’ WhatsApp- specifically, a WhatsApp broadcast- triggered the rise of stormy seas in my household last night.  Here’s what happened. I had been minding my business when my phone chimed in response to a new message notification. I picked it up, half-expecting to see one of those “hahahahaha” or “thank you for sharing” jerkers.  Please believe me when I say that nothing in the world could have prepared me to absorb what I now consider to be the father of all t...
