The Sport called Chase




Recently I had a conversation with one of my friends on the emotional inconsistency we go through as girls; and she sent me this picture, believe me this was the ‘hammer on the nail’.
            I have pondered on this post for a while, and I have come up with basic steps on how this sport is played:
First; boy meets girl, or girl meets boy (and in some cases same sex meets the same sex)
Secondly; they get close through frequent communication, visits, hang outs, blah blah
Thirdly; prior defenses or walls are gradually brought down, and both parties begin to feel comfortable
Fourthly; the step I like to term “when all forms of shakara has ended, and the person has seen you finish”
Lastly; one party begins to do anyhow.

Now not to be bias and say that it is only girls that go through this turmoil; I mean we are human and everyone eventually does anyhow, better put misbehaves, my own on this matter is why?
Personally I get bored easily, honestly I haven’t had a long term relationship with the other sex because of this, so I can relate to this sporting activity. However, where I draw the line is the intensity in playing the game, yeah it’s a game which:
1.      the rules should be stated and adhered to,  
2.      if one player doesn’t commit to the game ends,
3.      should be fun while it last, and when it stops being fun should end
I won’t be passionate about something I don’t really want or believe in, in any scenario, a job, a friendship, an opinion or idea, so it perplexes me when I see or experience the intensity in which some individuals invest in somethings. You know you know what you want (yeah sometimes you need a push to get you to finally decide on what you want) so when this fact is stated, why would you consciously fund:
·         time
·         energy
·         money
into something you are not fully interested in.
            I watch the series Scandal by Shonda Rhimes, it centers on Oliva Pope (Kerry Washington) and President Fitzgerald (Tony Goldwyn) and their uncouth love. People who strongly believe in the sacredness of marriage would not support this love, but the majority of the fans religiously watch because of the thrill of their love. It is a sporting activity, and it is no wonder that their love took a radical nose dive when she moved into the White House.

Some would say that’s how would you prove to the person you are “chasing” that you want them? Some females even say that they would pick the guy who puts the most effort into the chase. I’m not against the chase, I’m of the opinion that you should not end the thrill of the chase.


PS: I seek your humble opinion on this issue.
With love,

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...

Star Struck!

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...

Society and one of its ills

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...
