The SS 2

These series started off as a rant, but I decided to be inspiring, (as usual, hehe), you can read the Kick off post here, and Part 1. 

Apparently, the contestants for Big Brother Nigeria this year have been quite entertaining, (I know someone would ask why I watch BBN; I can learn from anything, just the positives…in fact why am I explaining myself?) during Ifu Ennada’s (you don’t know her? Google her? Or rather search for her on Twitter, she’s quite popular there, I can’t come and be explaining who she is!) eviction interview one statement she made (that gave me an entire perspective of her personality) was “I chose to be intentionally single this year”. I was like, give that lady a round of applause! 

Being intentionally single doesn’t mean you are not beautiful enough to catch a man. It doesn’t mean you are not smart enough to find a partner. It doesn’t even determine your financial status to attract or retain the ladies. It simply means you are deciding to enjoy every moment of your singleness. 

Society says - yes, you are single, but they won’t complete the statement – not alone! Some would use semantics and say when you are single you are lonely, they change the definition of what single means, presenting a negative narrative.

Reality check; alone is not single; alone is not lonely! Learn to love your singleness.

Society would chant – your clock is ticking, yes, it is. (or you thought I’ll say something different here? – time waits for no one yo!) They would even quote Ecclesiastes 3.

Reality check; there is time for everything; ergo, a time to be single. Let us learn to apply this phrase even in this situation. Which is why it’s important to maximise your singleness. 

This is food for thought, just for you:

‘God created man first, then woman, before relationships (marriage), so He is very much concerned with you first – single, before the ‘ships’.

Stay tuned for part 3.


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...

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...
