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 that day, three! All highlighting this issue of singleness. What a wawu! 


That’s why I was angry, but then again, perhaps my phone is actually smart because once I read the first article, it suggested the next, then the next. So, lets blame this rant on my phone. Lol.

The first was BankyW'sComebackToAFan who asked ‘Where is your ring?’ (okay, yes, this individual was obviously being nosey and perhaps silly, but come on, that comeback was unnecessary) he responded with ‘where is your husband?’ and everyone began to cheer him. *ayam confused*

The next article was from BusinessInsiderByPulse, I was shook; well, it is for enlightenment, (at least now I know what happens in Denmark when you are 25 and unmarried) but people are deep sha.

The third was from PunchNG, okay, that one was a tad hilarious because I was like ‘hian oh! Odikwa very serious for this single stigma’.


On a more serious note, society has termed the single phase ‘negative’. Which is why I am going to begin a series on the topic. So, yeah, watch this space!

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...

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...
