THE ADVENTURES IN UNPAID INTERNING - WORKING TITLE.

    While growing up, there was this girl who lived with her family in the same flat that was attached to mine. Apart from sharing a supporting wall, we also shared a first name, Ebube, and that was somehow the foundation for our friendship. Imagine living next to someone who bore the same name as you. The mistaken shouts of your name you thought were coming from your mother but instead resonated off the walls from the next-door neighbour's house. We had a decent relationship. I visited and played with her, and the family and life were calm. Then all of a sudden, my mother told me that I had to stop going over to their house one day.     Imagine my shock. I had asked why and my mother, being the All-Nigerian woman she is, bluntly told me that is was a demand from Ebube's father. I was confused. I kept wondering why the sudden restriction. I still asked my mother, but she never answered as though in an attempt to lessen the effect of the news. From then on out, the re...

     Salutations to you all locked in your homes with nothing to do but stare into your screens for long hours on end (A/N: I thank you all because you guys are the reason I'm doing this)  or those who conversate with their family members from time to time instead of socially distancing themselves while at home and only coming out for air once the food gets announced. I'm sure by now, for those money-conscious individuals out there, we are already thinking of ways to make some money within the ease and safety of our homes and, like me, are coming up short of good ideas. Well for the sake of the dough , let's hope this post finds you some good fortune soon.      Contrary to what you believe, there are many ways to make money from the comfort of your home. It all comes down to the following questions: What can you achieve? What skills do you have? Can these skills be monetised? Can these skills be improved? Answering those questions, ...

    Hello, welcome and I hope we're all safe? In today's post,I'll be talking on anime. I'm particularly excited about this article, not only because it's on a concept I've grown very interested in, but it's also the first article I took the time to construct. While my other posts were mainly thoughts off the top of my head combined with social media narratives and the 'here says' from other people's perspectives, this one was thoroughly constructed to relay my interests on the matter. So can I get an  A for effort, please? With enough said, let's dive into the beautiful, action-packed, emotional and, of course, erotic world of ANIME.  WHAT'S AN ANIME? Anime , in simple terms, are hand-drawn or computer-generated initially from or closely related to Japan. The name, anime , is a Japanese term for animation, as it covers all forms of animated works. Unlike their Western brothers - as many people tend to confuse an anime with c...

       Let's be honest with ourselves, no lies, nobody should be with their family for this long and the people living in the hardest-hit areas in Nigeria - seeing as our President has just extended the lockdown on those states - Our respects go out to you all as we pray you do not go all Itachi on your household in the dead of the night because, as I mentioned earlier, no one should be around their families for this long. Yes, We(especially the undergraduates whose schools were thousands of kilometres away from their childhood homes) were thrilled to have this very much welcomed break - as we students   no dey take eye see "Mandatory School Shutdown" -  from the hassles of early classes, unmarked assignments, inadequate meal plans and non-budgeted expenses back to the warmth of our mother's embrace, the safety of our childhood homes and the fattening power of our mother's cooking all in the name of self-isolation and quarantine. For in times of crisis like...

     There has been a trend going on in the Hollywood film industry where certain horror flicks make their scare factor based off an aspect of life that upon following the characters through the movie, you'd see just how valuable such a thing would be.        For instance , take Birdbox as an example , the movie's plot was set in a world thrown into "blind" chaos as other-worldly creatures preyed on the darkest inner thoughts of their victims who were unfortunate to look upon them, prompting them to either kill themselves or others. For people who haven't seen Birdbox, (apologies, but big shame to you guys), the story roughly centres around a mother trying to get to a sanctuary which rumour claims to be protected against these creatures. An epic scene, was where they had to cross a river to get to the other side, which they did blindfolded! Like could you imagine it, I can't get across my tiny bedroom without stubbing my toes against my be...

     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 co...
