STILL BECOMING

  To the one person that made my 19th year a memorable one, David Adedolapo Obadiah, I love you so much. If I took nothing out of my 19th year, at least I know not to “settle” anymore, and self discovery is not an action or a process. It is a constant cycle/struggle/growth that takes place at certain intervals in life; and this brings me to dropping this bombshell¡ Until January 17th 2027, my blog would be shut down. I wrote for free for over 3 years and now, I have thought to rebrand ’Style De Vie blog’, maybe with a different name, maybe with a different logo, but definitely an entirely different website!😊 But in the meantime, while cooking, I will be closing contracts and landing clients in the writing field. I am still a writer, a full time freelance content writer who is also into social media management (still cooking up more skills for my readers😽).  So, please, if you are looking for any type of writer, or a social media manager, I’m very much available and would lov...

WHEN LIFE GOES THE OTHER WAY ROUND.


  #rantchallenge

Looking at things this way: The citizens of Nigeria would not be this mad if things went the other way round;

● If fuel didn’t skyrocket from #450 to #900.

● If the highest currency in the country could still feed a family for a day or two.

● If common sachet water did not have to cost #50 for each.

● If the reason for removing fuel subsidy was maintained (to invest more in the educational and health sector) but mind you, school fees and hospital bills keep on leaving citizens in a state of dilemma.

 ● If the price of accommodation is not pushing people to rather stay out in the slums because the houses are not even worth the price anymore!!!

● If a bare minimum way of living (traveling by air, buying yourself a crate of eggs, subscribing a monthly plan e.t.c.) is considered luxury.

● If the cost of living in the country is not threatening to kill the living.

● If a #10,000 monthly allowance could still sustain a student.

● If education, and not connection remained the key to success.

● If a graduate completes SERVING the country and finds a job IN LINE WITH HIS FIELD OF STUDY.

● If after reading for my exam in LASU, I do not get struck with the realization that I do not have transport fare to take me to and fro my exam venue.

● If the value of minimum wage still has its worth.

● If the cost of transportation (road or air) could still be bargained.

● If #5,000 could still last just an individual for a week or more.

● If a bag of rice could be bought for #8,500 or even lesser.

Dear Excellency Tinubu, a hungry man is an angry man and if an administration is meant to be messed up, it does not have to get to the point where food and water are also deprived the citizens. Nigerians, both young and old, rich or poor, are all tired…

My mother's core

Image
“I won’t beat you, just tell me the truth”- coming from the same person who taught me that the truth shall set me free!!!😭 “Love wasn’t girls landing in the hospital after a breakup, love was me loosing my mind in the hospital after loosing my husband”- coming from a millennial mother wanting to hop on a Gen Z TikTok trend😇❤️ “Oya don’t worry, I will cook my food myself”- coming from this woman who came to intrude in the kitchen after telling me to prepare dinner 🤦‍♀️ “Very good!”… and she proceeds to adjust her wrapper and looks away- coming from the mother who’s meant to share in my pain after I fall 🥲  “Every time, phone, phone, phone, that’s why you’re always sick”- coming from someone who’s meant to rush me down to the hospital rather than complaining 😑  “Must you go and see your friend? Can’t your friend come and see you?”- coming from a millennial mum who wants no visitor in her house😒 “You think you’re doing me? You’re doing yourself”- the usual anthem whenever t...
