Hello world?

     Starting a blog was not a new idea to me, nor was I a newbie to the art that is creative writing. The push came while I was reading one of Chimamanda Adichie's outstanding novels: Americanah-a novel. I'm yet to finish by the way-as I saw Ifemelu get so much recognition in the States from just writing about her views on racism in America. Of course, I'm not going to write about racism(because unlike her this is Nigeria, and we do not have time for racism), I simply wanted a space to just air my views on a lot of issues going on in my life and the world happening around me even though some might say I can be very oblivious to a world outside my own.
       As my moniker must have given you an inkling as to what this blog is going to be about. I am a self diagnosed ambivert. Now the good thing about being ambivert is that we really don't fall into any category as we tend to show different sides of ourselves to the different people we come in contact with. To some persons, we could be this shy, retracted individual you could find lost in the songs they play on their headphones while to some we could be loud, cheerful perverts who tend to see the world as one big sex joke--which by the way funny story, while I came up with the idea of starting this blog a few indiscreet individuals said I'd make this blog about porn and it was annoying how true their perception of me was and also horrifying how shitty I had let my reputation get. Being ambivert gives me the advantage of seeing life either trapped in my own thought bubble or swimming against the currents of social awkwardness and another added bonus is that ambiversion is almost synonymous with having mood swings(which I tend to get alot), so for me it's one word that means so much more. Although talking about one's social standings in society can be somewhat of a bore to most people and considered a waste of time for me. I am positive that I would also add as much trending topics and "gossips" as we Nigerians would like to here.
     This is just an introductory note, so the need to keep it short is expected. So having said all this, I welcome you to the wonderful world of your world through my world. May we have fun together.

THE THING ABOUT BEING 23, 5FT 11 AND 100KG

     You are tall. Granted. However your size distracts people from your almost dominating height( scoffs ,  not that dominating)      You'd wish you were taller. But that would need you to put a bit of effort into your physical appearance, and you just don't give a damn.       And even when you do try to keep fit - 1km or 2km runs, light push-ups and sit-ups- you begin this ritual of staring at your half-naked self in the mirror after every 'uncompleted' work out.        On the days you do notice changes, you feel a deep sense of accomplishment. You raise your wobbly shoulders and suck in your tummy, almost willing the abs to show( They do not ).      Biceps are subtly bulging, chest getting pumped, and stomach not showing in your tight T-shirts. But everything changes when you drink water( LMAO )      It vexes you when people see your face and instantly believe you have a wife and ...

FEMINISM IS... DRIVING A BIG RED TRUCK.

       I know a woman. She drives a big red truck. Whenever she takes the truck out for a drive, no matter where she goes, people tend to look at her. Some stare out of awe from the beauty and sheer size of the machine. Some stare out of jealousy as they wish to be in the driver's seat of this vehicle. Some stare out of some preconceived notion that a woman should not be driving such a magnificent car. Each reason comes with its own distinct stare and I laugh anytime I see these things because they don't know the struggles that came before the acquisition of such a splendid ride so they only judge by what they see on the surface - A woman driving a big red truck.      There's nothing special in women driving. Honestly. They still have to obey traffic laws, they still need to pay tolling bills, they still check all their mirrors before backing out of the driveway and they still need to update their license every now and then. So what's the big deal abou...

BE AS SALT(ED)

It was corn season and on one fateful evening, my mother (A/N: This woman really needs to start paying me for making her my muse in most of my articles) decided to go out in search of roasted corn and pear or ubé in our dialect. After driving through various streets- seeing as that was where most vendors took up shop as a result of the lockdown of the markets in the state- we came across an elderly woman who took up a small space in front of an electronics/furniture shop. She really didn't stick out like the other sellers nearby but merely looking at her, you could tell that her roasted corn would be nice and without much surprise they were. I love roasted corn, but I always wondered what made them so sweet when the process only involved setting raw corn on a charcoal stove and giving it time to roast. On eating the corn, my mother made an observation, that they reason, why the old lady's corn was tasty, was that she soaked the raw corns in a bowl of saltwater befor...
