A LUXURIOUS JUSTICE???

  “While I was a student, it was more than a struggle for my parents. We were feeding from hand to mouth, literally, but we didn’t even have a choice to stop my schooling because they were more than bent on seeing me successful, and I on the other hand, was bent on making my uneducated parents proud. Honestly, we were getting used to the suffering. We kept on adapting and adapting till… well, my parents didnt know how I was going to adapt after bandits raided my school and kidnapped 64 of us, including our teachers and principal.   The news spread faster than wildfire and almost everyone in our not so little village knew about it. Of course, they did feel bad for the families of the victims, only for the next minute to be used to gaslight other villagers… not to leave their homes in search of us, or take the laws i to their hands, or even to go spiritual like we heard some communities do, but just to sit in bed and feel bad for the captives in the forest with bandits.  Ho...

About Us

Style De Vie simply means lifestyle in french and was inspired by Gabriel Ifiok, otherwise known as Ify, an aspiring freelance writer since she was way younger. Though she's still a student of English language in the Lagos State University (LASU). 

Ify decided to take up blogging for a start up of her aspiration and dream and also due to the availability of very limited resources. 

The blog was started with the sole aim of improving her writing skills. Of course, no one is an island of knowledge, style De Vie is always opened and welcoming to suggestions of any sort.

 

The blog appears to be such a unique one as Ify's style of writing and choice of words is perceived different from that of regular writers. Some of her unique features include use of emojis as a way to express emotions, serve as a relief to readers and also told clarify some one or two's in posted articles, use of examples and instances in each and every posted article to make it easier and more understandable for readers. 

 

This particular feature also helps readers to relate to the topic bring discussed in a particular article. Another feature is the insertion of soliloquy to make readers understand the writer better. Look forward to many more from Ify for a more relaxed and stress free reading. Description: 😉

 

Starting off blogging in her first test in college, Ify hopes so well on getting the recognition she needs by her final year in college. This hope lies solely on y'all's hands. 

 

More words and more love from Ify.

STRONG ENOUGH, BUT AT WHAT COST?

  I want you to take a moment and think of that one person you know that has it figured out. That person you can always go to for whatever help it is that you need, that person you notice/see everyone go to for advice, help and assistance, that one person you know that is always giving (most times not given), … or in better words, that one strong person you know.   These people we call strong, are most times, simply pressured. When they realize that the expectations of everyone around them is to be a standby guide and guard to them, that “strength” is, most times, often perceived as pressure by them. Being everyone’s problem solver is often birthed from unconscious decision(s) one could make. Either from being the first child, or had a rough childhood so you got to find a way around life very early, or even being an empathetic person; and because the shoes fit perfectly, life decides to make the shoes fit for a pretty long time. And slowly… slowly but surely, these expectation...

NEPO BABY OR SNEPO BABY

  One very funny thing about Nigerians is our ability to give a very wrong meaning to words or coining out our own word and using that word both in and out of context. A perfect example of this is “ nepo  & lapo babies” (our focus will be on the nepo babies) In Nigeria, a nepo(tism) baby is a child from a VERY RICH, or in better words, a luxurious background. “Nepo baby” has, for a while now being the newest word in Nigerians’ dictionary, with us forgetting what nepotism actually is. A regular Nigerian could, in a layman’s terms, define nepotism as being wealthy. Why? This is because we have misused the word “nepotism” to the extent of taking it out of context. Nepotism in it’s real and original sense, is a case or situation where someone (mostly family or friends) uses their influence to grant you and opportunity or a favor, whether or not you are qualified or befitting of that opportunity.  Take for instance your mum happens to be the one in charge of cooking and sh...
