Rant!

I don't understand the type of men being bred today.

This morning I entered a 'keke napep' or tricycle and it takes four people (in Lagos, because the extra cash is important, I don't know about other parts of the country though) it was some woman and I waiting for two more people. And luckily two people came, a school girl and a young man. And you know what happened? This 'agbaya' of a man went to take the seat at the back and the young girl said she couldn't seat in front. The driver now had to beg the man to please kindly seat in front.
To be honest if I had known he was going to beg him I would have gone to sit there myself. *hiss*

Some 30 minutes later, in another bus, the lady at the last row of the bus had reached her destination, the man who sat closest to the door refused to open the door, said the driver (there wasn't any conductor) should do it. Imagine?? Wasting everyone's time!

Not that I support women being treated as helpless beings, in fact I believe in girl power. But what happened to the term 'gentlemen'?? Have we decided to bred a generation which literally states 'what a man can do a woman can do better?' So hence men should sit back, cross their legs and observe??? Naah! Its so not right!!
But what do I know? I'll just be here sipping my tea..

With love, theInspiredCutiee 😘

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...

Ta-Da!

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, ...
I like to meet people who inspire me.. One of them is Abraham, in the HR department of Jumia. I messaged him a while back via LinkedIn and asked if there were any available positions in the HR department and he said the was only a vacancy for an intern and I went for an interview. That day on my way for the interview, I witnessed some lady get crushed by a vehicle on Ikorodu road. I was mortified and then began to reflect on my life. It could have been anyone I said.. What if she was going to work? Or had an interview like me? Anyways not to digress, lol, I wasn't feeling so up to the interview, I even got there late, in my mind I was like 'oh well what ever happens happens'. Then I got to meet him, honestly I'll rate myself a 3 for that interview because I didn't even try to impress. *covers face* But the reason for this post is the young man who interviewed me.. He said somethings about his personality that gave me a whole perspective on who I want to be. ...
