First Foray
So, my music love well-established, I’ve decided to do something to create some. This song started playing in head- Jesus I love You (I think most Nigerians should know it, it’s very catchy anyway). And along with its constant repeat in my brain, some interesting harmonies came. I put them together, and this is my first foray (well, not first first, just the first I … Continue reading First Foray
Bantu Knots Not! (featuring Mama)
After a couple of months with kinky twists on, I was dreaming about taking them out and trying a new style. The style? Bantu Knots. I had seen all sorts of magnificent pictures online; and could just imagine how glorious the curls would look on me. All the while ignoring that majority of people I had seen do it had temporarily straightened or stretched out … Continue reading Bantu Knots Not! (featuring Mama)

Church Crawl!!!
One of the ‘welcome week’ events for postgraduates students in my school was a pub crawl. I missed some of the programmes, including that one. As I had never heard of it before, I asked a friend what it was about; and he told me they basically went from pub to pub in town having at least a drink in each. So, when I moved … Continue reading Church Crawl!!!
What is Your God?
This post is about a video I came across two days ago. A blogger I follow mentioned one of her videos was posted on another site, So, I decided to have a look. The subject of the video is “What is Your God?” If you’re Christian, this should be a familiar message to you; but I believe it is also a timeless one. It particularly … Continue reading What is Your God?

What Do I see? The Eiffel Tower?
So, I’m walking down the road. I’m on my way to a library where I’m supposed to get registered. As I come up to a junction, I look to my left and… Is that the Eiffel tower? Did I just randomly stumble unto one of the most visited sites on the planet? Oh my goodness, is that the Eiffel Tower? But what else could a … Continue reading What Do I see? The Eiffel Tower?
La Poste
The minute I walked into the post office, I knew it was going to be a dee-zas-tah. And it was. All the signs were in French! Sometimes you get lucky, and some signs have English translations, especially in public transport stations. They even sometimes have German and Chinese translations as well. I guess they only expect tourists to board the bus, not post letters. So … Continue reading La Poste
A Croque Monsieur et Moi
On my first day in Le Paris… I decide to eat. I pop into this cute corner café. It had both French and English written on its menu; so, I thought, “It’s all good.” Beckoned the waiter after I had decided. Of course! He speaks only French! I don’t even try out my meagre French vocab. I just humbly point at croque monsieur on the … Continue reading A Croque Monsieur et Moi
