NO TIME TO ATTEND WEDDINGS

-

"Oh😁 thank God you are here💃🏽 I was about to call you!" My sister was excited that morning. I couldn't help but have the feeling that her excitement was unnecessary. I felt she was up to something or she was about to ask for a favour.
"What's the excitement about ?" I asked her with a straight face because I was so hungry. I was actually from the gym and her hostel was closer, I know she cooks early. You see,  her hostel was closer and food was closer.

"Ah, smile now before I talk."
She said as she tickled me but I kept moving away from her. Gosh!  I love tickles but I hate the discomfort it causes to me, tickles make me jump, laugh  and take steps that look like  dance steps, childish ones for that matter.

"Okay okay" what I gave her was laughter not even smiles. I went to the table she kept her pot, opened the pot and saw mouth watering macaroni. I fetched some in a plate and went to sit on her bed, I started devouring the macaroni without pity.

" And you just dey comot from gym, see as you dey chop plenty food. Nothing go burn. " my sister teased.

"I hear! I no wan burn fat. I just wan dey flexible and fit." I replied. When my stomach was getting filled, I asked, "So what's up?"

"Let's go to Dami's sister's wedding. Na tomorrow. Omo, na correct Owambe! Spend the night here so that..."

"I  am not going" I cut her short.

"Why?"  Her face was straight with disappointment.

" I will be really busy and ..."

"ENACTUS!" she said abruptly with a little expression of anger. " That NGO is taking the whole of you."
She started sounding really emotional and that was getting me emotional too. She continued, "They are taking you away from me and ..."

"Stop blaming the poor NGO. ENACTUS has nothing to do with my not wanting to attend the wedding. I just no get time to dey attend weddings. I get things to do."

"Please" she begged in a frustrated voice, her eyes fixed on mine, infact her eyes were pitifully fixed inside my eyes, so needy they appeared.I was trying so hard to resist helping her but I couldn't by accepting the invitation but those eyes were getting really persuasive.

"Why is it important that I go with you?"

"The thrill! I love the feeling I have when I attend weddings with you, the way we analyse the olojukokoros who eat more than enough, the way we mock the wannabes, they way we scrutinize the groom and pride, you know, the gossip etc. Please do not change on me, you used to love attending weddings with me,  but since you got too serious with your life, you have had no time for fun . Please come with me."

"Okay fine!"  I said. I couldn't take it anymore! Her pleading I mean but somehow, inside of me, I felt kind of excited that I will attending an OWAMBE wedding after a long time.

So we attended the wedding the next day and our job of observation began...

Do you want to get the gist of what happened during the wedding?

IS IT THAT EASY? IS IT GENDER?

What! I am not trying to be judgemental here but, what! Not a thing I have against men, not a feminist I am, I am a womanist , I am just a bossom friend to humanity. So your wife is still in the den of kidnappers and your baby of not more than two weeks old was murdered for not more than two weeks now and the next thing we hear is that you are getting married in few days time! This man must be out of his  mind. That is what I see. Sometimes I don't blame feminists for actually being feminists because the same set of people repeat similar actions over and over  again, men. Trust me, you seldom find any woman having a thought of what this man is about to do? Sometimes I wonder if some men actually have conscious. I actually felt pity for the man this past few days not knowing that he had the intention to kill the already fading hostage of a wife emotionally. I wonder, "Is it that he has given up on his wife." "Oh it could be lust." I know, maybe it would be

GIVE THE RESPECT TO A DOG INSTEAD

Men can practically ask you to lick their dirty legs that have had a dance in mud of doom if you give them the chance. My roommate was giving me a gist of how a guy has been all over her , so she had no choice but to give him a chance to take her out on a date . After the date , the guy talks to her any whichway but trust some ladies now,  they take no shit.  She invited him to a restaurant after a week of taking her out.  She bought him the same food he bought for her,  he stupidly ate it like a hungry begger and she said afterwards,  "now I have paid you what you think I owe you.  So you have no right to talk to me the way you want anymore" Boom! The thing shock the guy o. Dear guys, even if you buy the whole world for a lady she still deserves respect. We are Queens that are to be treated well. Beware! Or the dogs will get our respects instead

I AM NOT NIGERIAN

-
You packed your stuffs from the hostel one evening at the end of the session but you are not packed  yourself. You didn't have transport fare so you had to carry your bed, your small drum and your stove in your hands and you were trekking off campus with all difficulty. You stopped so many times because the stuffs were heavy. You weren't really expecting help from anybody. Not because you have passed different bunches of guys who didn't offer to help but because help will only come when they are Nigerians. You stopped again when you got halfway to your destination and you were stretching you hands when you heard a male voice say "Let me help with the heavy one." But you hesitated even when you knew you needed help, "Umm, no thanks. I will manage." And he insisted, "Don't worry I am not Nigerian." And he helped. Yes! He is a Nigerian. He is not Nigerian means 'He just wants to help. No strings attached. No number collecting.  He is
