BENIN; A TALE HAS TO BE TOLD

There is something adventurous about that place . it seems to be a vague cloth that has to be gotten into before the content is seen. Benin; I have never been there but I see a glimpse of what it is like . Sacred, interesting , deep and a shot of curiosity Have you seen the coronation of their oba; his heavy attire,  the camp fire night ? The always covered faces of the oba's wives ; why? , have you wondered of the religion the Royal family belong to ? Their artifacts , their so heavy not regular beads . A tale to grope for. I really want to explore and one of the first places I will start as an explorer is the sacred city of Benin. A TALE HAS TO BE TOLD.

Beautifully Dark

Image
I never got to really see how beautiful dark complexioned  people are until my cousin sister who so fair in complexion told me to take a look at her. Like take a real good look at her and see that the brightness of her skin colour is what gives her beauty. She wishes to be dark and I asked " Wait do you know people bleach their skin to get as fair as you ?" And she replied " Being fair complexioned  can be sold, you can never find being dark in the market because it is more valuable than even gold." It is OK if you are fair but so many have confirmed that fair people can't be beautiful if  they are viewed to be dark but dark people are vividly viewed to be beautiful on both sides. It is amazing how dirty dark, melanin , ebony complexioned people have built up an empire of beauty.  The thing is people tend not to appreciate what they have . if you are fair, it is what suites you, if you are dark , it is what suits you but humans are just greedy and ungratefu...

JUICY AND PLUMP, SLIM AND DRY

Image
My friend takes this drug that she claims will make her slim (to me she wants to be dry) and look like a model even with the side effects it has on her, she is suffering. I wonder who or what is putting this stupid idea in this day Africans that it is only when you are slim (I call it dry) that you are beautiful. They are so daft not to get the difference between being  plump and obese. What is wrong with us? No really , why won't they calls us barbarians when we still behave so in this age and time. I remember when great grandmama was still alive. She used to sit me down and tell me stories. She will tell me of how men will run after those women with flesh, those plum women they call juicy. But now everyone wants to be a spaghetti woman, slaying as tall, slim and all that without the trait of a real African woman.  Even with our beauty we still want to be as fleshless as the whites and you want them to treat us well when we are savages to ourselves. When people like Nick...

THE BOMB FAMILY WHO IS POOR, CRAZY AND LOVING

I used to think of them as nuisances when they run around the street playing hide and seek, I used to look at them as filths when they won't dress up their little ones leaving them naked, then they were lousy when they scream with laughter as they  talk about what their day's activities around 12:00am upwards. It made me think they are witches and wizards and their mother, the grand witch . I thought of her as crazy as she threatens to beat up her male customers , those that buys her soya bean cakes and refuses to pay and the way she uses vulgar words made me to think that she was or maybe is a bad  mother. These people live in my new area,  our next house neighbour.  I got to realise later that I was just being a bad judge.  They were just trying to push the pain and sadness into the trash bin. They are poor but they have a house to call their own (I can't help but wonder how they got to own a house sha) ,  they are this little family : crazy but sensit...

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
