I'm Inspired...

This post started off as a rant, but then I decided why just rant? Critic the ill, but also share lessons you’ve amassed overtime. Remember, this month is the month of purpose, why rant and not have a purpose? I usually say, ‘everyone has an opinion, all it takes to be swayed to the other side – is good argument. Daz all! I can start a movement on ‘School should be optional, because these days an individual can ‘’blow’’ without the four walls of a classroom’, yes I’ll have followers, but then TeamEducationForAll would rise and protest with their POV, and then the debate would begin. *yawn* it is an endless vicious cycle. Today’s rant is all about Single. Singleness. Single persons. Single not in a relationship. Who dictates social media? People! Societies are made of people. It is funny that social media has a way of dragging one down ehn, but then again, its social media, we still need her (yes, social media is female), ironically I read three different articles...

Hmmm… My people, na so I see my celebrity crushes… Na so I stand at attention Na so my mouth no gree move Na so I just dey look Chai! My brain no even boot to take picture… Na so I dull! Ha-ha! I wrote this poem on the spur of writing this post. I should actually give you the gist… Scene 1 I needed to use the ATM, so, I decided to go the nearest one around my office, I said to myself ‘this won’t take time, no need to carry phone’, that’s how I left my phone in the office oh. I got to the ATM, there were a couple of people, so I joined the queue, that’s how a black jeep rolled into the parking lot. Enter Nathaniel Bassey… I opened my eyes with surprise, (if you read my posts, you know Nathaniel is BAE!) and began to wonder why no one was screaming and acting all giddy. ‘Is the ATM working’ he asked. ME!!! He spoke to ME!!! I couldn’t even answer I just shook my head because I was too mesmerised. God bless you, I am...

I am usually all for honesty; I wrote this piece for one the blogs I feature in, but apparently it couldn’t fly because it didn’t centre on an African, (which is good, we got to celebrate Africa). ‘No worries', I said to myself, 'I wrote it, Emma Gonzalez inspires me, so, ama share it here'… While valentine’s festivities for the year was in the air, students of Majory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida were experiencing the most memorable days of their youthful lives; a fellow student of the above named school went on a rage and killed seventeen people. Seventeen lives were lost because one unstable person had his hands on a weapon of destruction. This event is not just a traumatic one for those involved, but more of an uproar; come on, its rational for anyone in this situation to be livid. Having seen clips of the incident, watched the town hall meeting aired by CNN, read tributes, speeches, and the ever trending hashtags #WeCallBS #NotAgain, it’s amazi...

March in my opinion simply means purpose, when you march you are heading somewhere, it’s like a movement to something there, so, the Inspired Cutiee’s theme for this month is Purpose. March is the third month, the number three is also a very significant number; Jesus’s three days from crucifixion to death to resurrection, The Trinity of our faith, etc. For all I know, you probably have some symbolic attachment to the number three. PS: I want three children, hehe. I have so many plans laid out; I want to literally march to lose weight, I want to complete a project I’m working on then kick start the next, so many to enumerate… But again, I refuse to be overwhelmed, I have the best support system. This month is the best month yet! However, these are some tips for conquering this Third Purposeful Month: 1.      Always ask yourself why; Why am I doing whatever I am doing; because the answer to this why directs you to a goal/end (either negative or ...

It’s not a lie Its real It can affect anyone It can eat you up It can be managed It leaves a scar… …you are not alone Pink’s ‘The truth about love’ inspired this… Speaking on Mental illness, head on to MANI's website ; I have a couple of posts there, here is one  Who MANI epp? With love, TheInspiredCutiee 😘

Hey there! Been a while right? Probably more than a while, feels like an abandonment… Apologies… but *silent drum rolls* I’m back, and back with a bang! So, this is the Comeback post of the Inspired Cutiee! Why was I MIA? What happened? It would be clichéd to say ‘Long story’ because the story is not that long, (honestly) it was a fusion of procrastination, laziness, clogged mind, more procrastination, drive for ‘the perfect post’ and most of all… lack of inspiration. But, let’s hope that’s all in the past. Sigh, yes, I know I make a lot of promises, (this is not a new year’s resolution; been there, done that mehn) but this one has to be kept. The goal therefore is to schedule posts, so even when I run of out inspiration, there’ll always be something here. Not bad right? Speaking of what happened, I should add; it’s not like I stopped writing in its entirety, I mean I wrote and still write for other blogs, my office’s social media and blogsite, WhatsApp stories, ...

                Another Independence Day has come oh, and boy check social media especially Twitter for the trolls and memes about our country, everyone has an opinion about this country. This day is spent in various ways; some are deciding to spend the day at various stadiums celebrating the independence through parades, some are being patriotic by wearing white or green or white and green apparels and carrying Nigerian flags, some like my tweeps are hashtagging all day, lol, some people are taking today off to rest (they cannot come and die). I asked my friend how to enjoy this day during the recession with little or no money to spend, and he was like “my dear just stay in your house, sleep and observe social media”. It is very easy to be discouraged about what is currently going on in our country. I mean in less than 3 freaking months the equivalent of $1 is almost N 500, more people have lost jo...
