It got a little dark today! Oops!

Hey guys. 

How are you all doing? Omo. Working in an hospital is not easy o, for reals, the fact that you get to witness life and death is super duper craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy. 

But before I gist you all today, let me start on a lighter note.

I’ve been seeing a whole lot of my folks in another country improving their education or pursuing their dreams and I just wanna talk about how good it makes me feel. I am so happy for you all. Please represent us well so that when you come back we no go use stone welcome you. 🥰❤️❤️❤️. 

Now back to todays gist, I had to be a little light because it’s about to get dark in here and I’m so so sorry. 

Over the weekend a lady brought her dad to the hospital for treatment, the bill was high but after a lot of back and forths, calling of family members here and there, they were able to make some deposits. I saw the old man, he didn’t say much, he didn’t look sick, but he didn’t look like he was having a good time here either.

I have witnessed patients come to the hospital distressed but leave fully well and  I was hoping this was going to be the  case.

I got to work today and we were trying to sort out some of his test results, I asked after the old man and was told he was referred to another hospital and later passed away. I kid you not my fellow readers, my heart sank. 

My chest started paining me and if you looked closer, you will see the tears in my eyes. I remembered the daughter vividly. She was running helter, skelter trying to pay hospital bills. I put myself in her shoes, but I took the shoes off immediately. There’s no way you can relate to what people are going through. I hate when people say I understand how you feel. No you don’t. Just shut up. 😭

I remember entering his room once as I went to meet a nurse for something, he was on all kinds of oxygen and this and that. Maybe today is not really gonna be all dark as you all might be getting something to take home today.

I remember one other time when the kindest doctor with the purest of heart I ever met was trying to save this woman’s life at the clinic. It seems she was already dead when they brought her in. This lady was literally crying, begging the doctor to save her mothers life. The doctor tried everything possible, CPR, mouth to mouth, name it, but it seems they brought her too late. They took her dead body away and were probably going to throw a befitting burial because the people in this estate get mad money sha, make I no lie, and they were residents, but if any child of mine do party for me when I go, and didn’t take care of me well when I was alive, I go come back from the dead, knock their head spiritually as they are spraying, then go back to sleep.😴 . Burial no even consine me, if not that Nigerians like serenren, you fit cremate me sef and we move, Shay me wey no dey alive, I go join una chop rice? Abeg make una rest.

That’s why I like Indians. Roasting sharp sharp, then throw sand for ocean. Some dey put the sand for cupboard, if you like go and use it to do pepper soup, na you sabi😹. I just say make I lighten this place up a bit. I’m still sad joor. 

Soooo. Back to my thoughts. My greatest fear right now, is my parents not eating the fruits of their labour while still alive. I wish they wouldn’t ever leave, but I hope that when they eventually do, hopefully when they are old and have lived a life well spent, that will not be when I will be giving them fruits of their labour to eat, Fruits that won’t be enjoyable anymore because their taste buds no longer work or all teeths are going. Fruits I could have been giving small small when they were still younger and much more alive. 

My point here is that I know as an adult, money is never enough. We all have needs and wants, but let’s not forget the people who sacrificed their own needs and wants for ours while growing up. It’s time to start doing the same. Before you invest in that land, invest in your parents first. Land will always be there, but parents won’t. Yes, the price will increase if you don’t buy it now, but who cares? As long as mum and dad are happy, that’s all that matters. 

While we are all pursuing our dreams, let’s not forget to spend as much as we can when or if we have on our parents, as they are getting older. This is a note to myself. Baby girl you’re not a baby anymore. Enough milking, once you’re an adult you owe it to yourself to start sowing seeds into your parents life so that the fruit can germinate before all their teeths are gone. That being said, now I feel maybe I should go and marry, at least grandchild sef na seed. Lol, kidding. If it happens great, but I do hope they get to be grandparents sooner than later. Thank God I’m not the only child. I am fertile in Jesus name but nobody should pressure me biko.

So yeah, I know I don’t have much now, but I really do wish I could be putting them both on a monthly allowance of above N500k per month, but instead na them still dey show me love. 

God how far na? 

But I believe it doesn’t have to be a big fruit. I’m making a mental note to myself. Don’t wait to have plenty money before you take care of your parents Lizzy. A little effort every now and then, especially financially will go a long way. 

If something bad happened today and somehow somehow that money that you don’t have comes out, you will hate yourself forever.

Honestly, I don’t even understand how people think. Some of us don’t have the mind to do yahoo yahoo or hook up business, or shady businesses. Yet some people who do, will first spend on their babes, not even wife o, yet their parents are flashing people up and dan because of insufficient airtime. Why I go buy my babe car while my mama or papa still dey order Uber? Or worse still queue for Maruwa? Omo? God forbid o. 

I honestly am not in the mood to judge and of course I’m deviating as usual. My point is just that, if you are someone who rates family as much as I do, especially those who are still fortunate to still have both parents alive, treat them like the Queens and Kings they are to your best capacity, while you still can. While there is still peace. Once there is fire on the mountain, money is no longer enjoyable. And if you don’t have parents, I could never relate. But hopefully, you will be a parent some day and feel the joy of motherhood and fatherhood and your children will shower with all the love your parents couldn’t. You’ve come this far and you’re doing far better than people who even had both parents. You’re doing well and I’m proud of you!

I’ve been saying I will write a blog for all you scammers but I’ve just not had the time, you think I’ve forgotten abi. Just know that one day. I go get una time. For now. Love and kisses to all my legal youths. If there is an old reader in the room, wow wow, thank you for reading, mummies and daddies, if you’re using glasses, I appreciate you and your beeeeeeautiful eyes! If you aren’t, may your eyes keep shining brighter and brighter!!!

Ehn ehn, some of you are reading my blogs secretly. All my anonymous readers, I greet you o. Thank you for stopping by and asking me why I’ve not posted in a while. I appreciate you all!

Na wa o. See as I’m blogging to you people in this darkness. This Nepa people no even get any joy at all. Chai. Anyway…

Till I come your way again.

Love and light Muffins!

A NAKED MAN ON MY DOORSTEP ?😱😩😰

 

Omo. People of God, been a while o. I’ve been here and there busy with life o. No metal gist like that until today, I am mentally scarred for life. So I work in an hospital now and I was on night shift today. Okay so it’s 1:49am and while trying to find some sleep after feeling guilty for ending what seemed to be a beautiful relationship🥺, I heard a knock on my door. 

I jumped up immediately with every sense of urgency in me at the thought that a patient in distress might have been the one knocking, lo and behold, I opened my door to see a fully naked man in front of me.

Yup! You heard me correctly, fully naked from head to toe, like ‘Adam before he ate the forbidden fruit’ naked. I was puzzled, startled, frightened, name it.

Imagine waking up from your sleep to open the door for a naked stranger of the opposite gender, as in, not even your fellow gender o. He was bleeding and had cuts and bruises all over. Blood here and there. Not gonna lie, I was speechless, I didn’t even know what to say. 

I actually thought maybe he was mad but to my amusement he was actually speaking good English.  Omo, I ran o. I ran as far as I could away from him to report to the doctor, who also was fast asleep. I told him a naked man is here to see him, sleep clear for baba eyes immediately, lol, na so I go disturb all the nurses o. There was one fearless one and one fearful one too, like me.

When they got to him, he was already using a notebook to cover his ‘yunno what’. 

Thankfully, the fearless one, got him something to put on. Mehn, I pity the owner of that notebook o.  

We quickly got a cleaner to clean everywhere  but of course, the OCD nature of mine wouldn’t let things be. I got my sanitizer and cleaned and sanitized the door handles, the gate handles, the railing at the veranda, the main desk at the reception, and kept washing my hand a million times. The housekeeper must have been tired of me, cuz while she was cleaning everywhere he must have sat down, i kept pointing to all other chairs he might not have even sat down. I guess it’s my overthinking nature, because blood to me is very critical o. Hepatitis, Hiv can be incurred so me I’m not taking any chances.

Wo, as I speak to you, I’m unable to sleep back, Infact the whole hospital is awake. I can’t get the thought out of my head  so I say make  I come gist una small.

Omo, things are happening o. We’ve been reaching out to his family members to come and pick him up. He said he can’t walk, but mehn, all the numbers he gave us, they are saying wrong number o, that they don’t know him. If it’s Lottery now, they won’t be forming ‘Peter’ in the Bible.

Chai. I wonder if there is any moral lesson for today. The naked  stranger later explained that he was beaten up by some of his enemies or something for doing them wrong at a hotel , and they took all his clothes, today’s moral lesson will be for you all to take this life easy o, I don’t know what will warrant such wickedness. but again, we don’t know the full story, all I’ll say is that you guys should try your best to show love to people o and just avoid fight if possible, because you really don’t know how wicked or evil people’s heart might be. Some of you think you are untouchable. Dead that mentality. The human structure is very fragile and frail, you see those oxygen in your lungs, they are easily extinguishable by the littlest of things. Even ordinary small choking on meat, you fit go o. That’s not a very good example but I’m sure you get the drill.

Small insult you insult today, you fit end up for grave tomorrow. I don’t know if i should be saying this here, but I lost a loved one recently due to a similar situation, he fought with someone who retaliated by crushing him with a car while he was peeing and I’m not even joking, although I heard the story might have been more complicated than that, but that was the event that led to his demise and  I’m a little afraid just thinking about it. R.I.P to him and I pray God avenges his death because this useless country actually let the murderer go scot free because  my fam wouldn’t let them use my dead loved one body as evidence for court case for one year because  they wanted to quickly bury him. Mehn this is a  story for another day. Stay focused Funmilola, you’re fond of this. But if you’re still planning on voting an old man for presidency in this country, next year,  continue  o, you hear continue. As you’re eating that overpriced fish that bone still fit choke you on top, continue o. Continue very well. 

I don’t wanna be a drab today, so let me just stop here and try and  see if I can still sleep back, but mehn, a whole lot can happen within a short while. Y’all be safe. May God keep us all and watch over us all till I come your way again. E Shay jeje o. Odaaaabo!( If you’re not Yoruba, lol. Ooops).

Xoxo- Lizzybaby. Muah 😘 💋. 

Guys oooooo! Update! Update! We finally heard why the stranger was beaten up, imagine, yesterday was his birthday, he celebrated it at an hotel, sent fake alert of 85k to the hotel, they caught him, beat him up and stripped him. Na by force to do birthday in this tough economy? 🤭 I swear I no wan laugh but e dey funny. Fake life no dey pay ooo. I should cook something interesting for all our Instagram wanna bees one of  this days. Make una remind me.  Lol. I think it’s safe to say that this is a pure case of Afowofa. He’s lucky he was beaten up by ajebo bouncers in the suburb and not pako bouncers in the ghettos,  na for mortuary the matter go end. Anywayz y’all can’t tell ne you haven’t learnt one or two things today. All I know is that we can all be better than who we are today! We are all wicked people,  it’s the battle against our evil thoughts that will determine which side of us people will get to experience. May God give us the grace to spread nothing but positive energy around in this dark, dark generation.

Till I come your way again…..Stay incredible! Final Mwah 😘 💋 ☺️🥰. 

Xoxo ….Queen Elizabeth 🌸🌺💞

 

From Top to Bottom. (Part 3)

 

Hello Fam! Hopefully. I’ve not lost my line of thoughts. So, back to what we were saying, I have just figured something important. We are all just sperms walking around producing more sperms and hatching more eggs, as disgusting as that sounds, that’s all we are. The sooner we realize most of us are likely going to live this life like every other sperm before us, the better. Only few of us will be as rich as Elon Musk except if we decide to get our hands dirty and all and this is the bitter truth. 

Know this and know peace, our educational system has already put you 7 steps behind, compared to your competitors in different developed countries and even if you went to to a private uni, sorry to break it to you honey, the system is still shitty and it’s when you want to use your private uni degree you’ll realize this. There are too many sperms walking around everywhere for you to be treated specially because you went to a private uni. As long as you schooled in this country, you are still fucked, because Private or Federal or Public, we were not all well equipped for the nonsense we are experiencing in this country after 4 to 5 years of intense studying. This post is not for you all who have mad connections. Some of you are even working at CBN right now, this post is not for you please. Get back to work. 

So, as I was saying, even  if you leave this country for greener pastures, yes I know there is nothing green about this country at all, lol not even lemon or yellow, but at the same time, there is no green pasture anywhere. I mean I have a really great voice, but unless I’m behind a mic singing at church, or I’m in a studio recording a song that may or may not blow, that’s all there is to it. Many have had greater voices and many will still do. The higher your expectations the greater the disappointment. I’m not saying we shouldn’t dream o. Lol. But dream carefully. Lol. Disappointment can sting like a bitch.

So let’s look at this if you are doing an honest  job and earning clean money, getting paid at the end of the month like everyone else and waiting for 30 more days before getting paid again, you are most likely not going to be the next billionaire walking upon the surface of the earth and your children are likely to be mediocre as you, but if you raise them right, they might just escape having a criminal record or dying of addiction to coke and that goes on from one generation to another and that’s all there is to your name in the end. You raised your children morally, but didn’t equip them enough materially,  equals mediocre. At the end of the day, the outcome of your parenting is still not something you will be impressed by. If you’re lucky you may get a grandchild or 2, or in some cases, 20, as some people’s legs never close. 

Now, If you’re making dirty money and earning dishonestly, you’re more likely to surpass your financial goals and provide the best education for your children who are likely not to be the most well behaved adults when they grow up being raised by the criminal parents that you are. The chances of them also being associated with children of criminals like yourself and getting easily influenced is also seemingly high, seeing as they don’t have the best role models as parents. So your children are still likely to run into trouble, since their entire life was built on trouble, and it’s just likely to be a generation of bundles of trouble, to another bundle of trouble, thus, a quiet future is less likely to be guaranteed at the end of the day. Due to their parents name and if unlucky, criminal record.

So In the end,  we are all screwed aren’t we? Except by luck maybe your child is the next Ben Carson or Nelson Mandela, I think all of us are just soujourners passing through life and if you believe in heaven and hell, and you lived a holy life, and you were a kind soul, then being mediocre may not so sound so bad huh. You know the funny thing is, so many mediocre people are not even living a holy life, they are just less likely to be in prison because their money is clean. If you look at it, criminals or not, are any of us even fit to be raising children? Just a bunch of shitty people, cheating on their loved ones, stealing from and lieing to people we care about, and then making more mess and pretending on social media like everything is okay. No. Fix up first and be a better person first of all, before thinking you can fix your kid. I laugh at so many posts I see on the gram men, and I laugh more when I think about people taking those posts seriously. But I don’t even wanna talk about social media today. Lol. Maybe some other day huh? Lol

So,  back to our topic. Like how many role models do we even have from this country? How many have made it due to our crappy educational system? Asuu  strike is still ongoing but if I start talking about that I might end up having to write a whole book today. How many Nigerian Academic Scholars have people studied in their history books as role model for other students both within and outside the country? What have our Academic Giants invented so far? 

We Nigerians are mostly well known for terrorism and maybe when our Musicians are are not impregnating different women here, or doing coke or something more even expensive, what’s that one they were talking about in Peaky Blinders, Yes, Opium, then maybe, every other day they are making us proud innit? Maybe Our President is the ultimate role model, lol, or our Medical Practitioners? Lol. Oh I forgot we no longer have credible medical practitioners, they are all leaving the country at the slightest opportunities this days, simply because they are not getting paid enough for their troubles in this country and that’s just sad. 

Anyway, I feel the education system just made things worse for us. Maybe university should be scrapped. In fact Secondary school as well. At the end of Primary school, most of us are able to read and write already, so why are you stressing us and making life harder for us? Only those that are actually going to study useful courses should have a college primarily for those courses. If not, who cares about the reproductive system? Like reality doesn’t teach you that already. Life ends up teaching you more than schools will ever do. Most of us don’t even remember half of what we Crammed in school. Most of us learnt lessons from life that we would have learnt within the four walls of an institution. 

After Primary school ehn, just put us in a facility for one year to learn anything that can be useful to mankind practitionally, it should also have I.C.T for people that wanna use their computers to earn money. Let people study U.I/U.X design or whatever it is they are paying to study this days after a whole 4 or 5 years of going to college and listening to a lecturer who doesn’t look like he’s getting paid enough for all his stress and certainly doesn’t look like he or she is enjoying their job. They just wanna pay bills.  

The money parents are wasting on education, they can use it to support our hustles or business Ideas after the one year training or even help us get a foreign degree in a music school or art school or something, for those of us that went to Art class simply because no matter how hard we tried, finding x and y seemed impossible. At the end of the day, plumbers and electricians are still more useful in the modern world than some of us who went to study a course that’s not really going to be of help to someone in a long run when they need their tyres pumped or a tooth ache surpressed.

Lol. My course is even better. What the hell is

Animal science and Fisheries? Lol. What is Plant science? Lol. Will studying Zoology help me understand Animal’s language? It better do.  Scrapping secondary school will help us start our business early, instead of having to wait 4 or 5 years to do so. Yoo.

I can’t even remember what I read in Secondary school. Maths was just punishment for me. English was useful but it’s something you learn more by practicing it in every day life than just reading. Stupid institutions that don’t even have the funds to facilitate the practical aspect of what they are teaching you. How are we supposed to understand what we didn’t practice most of the time?

Lol. Omo. NYSC, don’t even let me get started on that. The 3 weeks Orientation camp is enough. It shouldn’t even have to last for 1 year. It’s not like a job is secure for every corper who has ever served, so what’s the point ? Just pay us all the money for a year in one day so that we can use it to furnish our business which was already established after Primary school if I’m being honest. 

You’ll be surprised that this days it’s not even about education, some people are educated but they don’t even know how to talk or behave, they lack emotional intelligence and some illiterates are even more intelligent than them. Try driving in a really busy area in Lagos for few days and you’ll realize it takes more than going to school to be an intelligent person. 

Pheww. I guess I’m just a little disappointed in everything. Everything about this country kills your dreams. Even if you leave this country, except you leave while tender, you are still fucked up. 

Sigh. I’m gonna go to bed now guys. If you got to this point, my dear you are reader. You should probably get that Msc or Phd soon cuz, omo, you dey read faaaaa. 

Hey! Thank you all for sticking around. I mean it. See you all later. Stay Strong! If you’re a believer, God’s got you. And I guess his love story is still all that we can hold on to in this crazy part of the world. If you are not a believer. Lol. Omo. Just.  Breathe o.  Lol. Breathe well well.  That’s all I can say for now. Adieus Fam. One love. Ciao. Much love from this side of the world. 😘 💋. Muah.

From Top to bottom (Part 2)

 

Hello guys! Welcome to part 2! If you made it this far, I’m proud of you! So, as I was saying, education for close to 15 years is a total waste of our time and youth. All teachers should be allowed to do is teach us how to read and write, and speak good English because that’s important I must say. The rest is Aseju. Infant I blame  all this so called feminists. The truth is women and men can never be equal. Yes, maybe it’s good to know how to do something with your hands, because life is unpredictable and you need it to prepare for an unprecedented future, so except if you’re bent on being a single mom, or you don’t have responsible male figures in your family,  what’s the point of getting a degree from our useless educational system only to end up devoting more of your time to nurturing and raising your children, ensuring your husband and children are well fed and being devoted and loyal to your husband.

Some women don’t even end up using their degree because popping kids alone is time taking and energy consuming, if we were meant for 9-5, why can’t we just pop kids, in 3 weeks and resume back to work the following week. Why must it take 9 months to pop one kid. All your dreams on hold for 9 months. Na wa o. Don’t let me get started on periods. Those things really mess with our moods and our day to day activities. Like we get to consistently bleed from down there for 4 days, (for some people it’s 1 week, I kid you not) while trying to focus on whatever job it is we are doing at that time and achieving results? Sometimes it’s a whole lot for us.

So, after spending 9 months growing another human inside you and vomiting that human through your vagina, do you really think you would still be the same person who was solving further maths in ss2? That whole experience changes you and being a mother is a job on its own. But thanks to Feminists, I’ve spent 4 years of my life in uni, getting above 4.0GP that nobody cares about in the real world and an extra one year doing Nysc, only to eventually ending up doing a job that even has no correlation whatsoever with what I studied in school. Wow. Thanks a lot Feminists, you have proved your point. 

But if I’m being honest, men are the ones that need to make a lot of money and all that shit because at the end of the day, the pressure is still on them to make it and provide. I mean, I get the fact that some women don’t have a good financially supportive family. Probably their fathers, brothers or in-laws or husbands either no longer exist, or are not responsible or something. I mean we have cases where the men will rather sit at home these days while their women provide, or women who ended up widowed too soon, so they have to be the breadwinner. Of course you’ll need to have studied a good course to handle life if that happens so I’m not saying we should leave all the work to men. I’m just saying if you went to an institution in this country and ended up studying a useless course it really doesn’t make no difference because you’re either gonna end up doing a mediocre job to provide for your family or you might have to go into a business which you really didn’t need to have wasted 15 years of your life for. Well asides from those instances of being widowed or what not, nobody is gonna judge a woman for being broke. I’m not a gold digger or anything and I’m not saying we women should have to be begging for peanuts our whole life or urgent 2k, or writing on our status every 2 days that we are going offline and your gender should call, if they wanna talk, stylishly doing bambiala, or bringing all our entire roommates to 1st dates because we are just an hungry gender. Tbh, those are just sad behaviors. Lol. NGL. And I’m sorry if any of you men have ever had to experience that 😂😭. I promise we are not all like that.

Don’t mean to blow my trumpet but I’m probably one of the most independent woman you’ll ever meet cuz I guess I was raised that way, I’m just speaking as a women and realistically, we all know how easy it is for we women to even get what we want without having to sweat at all. So what’s all the bruhahaha for? We can land a good job by using what we gave to get what we want without having to waste 15 years in school learning God knows what. Again I’m speaking generally. Not saying we all do it. At the end of the day, we have women who don’t know how to cook at all and are unapologetically unhygienic because their excuse is that they are educated just like men, go to work and earn a living just like men and don’t have time for all that. Sorry, but I think knowing how to cook and survive and being neat has nothing to do with being a good house wife or not. Every human should know how to take care of themselves, because we need it to survive. If you go to the restaurants you buy food from and see how they don’t care if their catarrh falls in your food, then you will know that everyone needs to know how to cook, and since you are a woman and will be more responsible for what goes in your children’s mouth eventually, If you will like to have children eventually, then you will know that women, especially, mothers can’t slack in the kitchen. But Feminists have made the kitchen look derogatory to our modern women. Okay o. E pele o. Eyin awon Feminists. E ma binu o. E go be. If you’re not Yoruba. Lol. My bad. No be say I sabi plenty Yoruba sef, so if you don’t understand this one and you’re living in Lagos, it is well with you. Lol. 

I honestly don’t know how I ended up here but I promise you somehow somehow, I am still trying to make a point about our shitty educational system. I derailed and you guys did not bring me back to my initial school of thought. Baa Kaba. Lol. Na Hausa I speak o. If you no understand that one, don’t worry I’ll soon speak Igbo. So you’ll probably catch that one. Lol. G2G but will be with you guys very soon. Part 3 is where it all goes down. Stay tuned my amiable readers. Ciao. Much love from your favorite girl. Lizzybaby.🥰🥰.

From Top to bottom (Part One)

So er. Hi Guys! It’s been a while. My bad. Just handling life like you all you know. I’m human too and a Nigerian for that matter. To all my readers who just come in here once in a while to check for new posts, without me ever asking, you have no idea how much it means to me. Like, thank you all for your loyalty. I sincerely am undeserving.

Well well well, I guess it rained all day. It’s 9:00pm here and the weather has been really cozy and chilly, some couples are probably getting freaky under the sheets rn, let’s call it freaky Friday huh, lol, while others are probably getting ready to go clubbing or meet up with some random person they met on Tinder.  Our Ladies of the night are probably putting their make up on, shining their lips and ready to work their magic on the streets, church goers are getting ready to break some witches wings into 2 during their prayer vigil I guess, while I’m just here at a chilling place in my neighborhood that men take their women to, to chill, called Kulture Yard, doing everything but chilling obviously.

Sigh. I’m listening to the horrible songs being sang by some wannabe singer right now and guys, I shit you not, this music is not it! I wish I could  just walk up to him and give him a hot konk lol and then everyone sitting will just clap for me, but I ain’t even got half the balls for that. Lol.  No one has ever died from minding their business, so I’m just gonna keep doing my thing and blogging. 

Today, I’m just gonna talk a little bit about the truth about our educational system in this country. I mean don’t get me wrong, If you’re gonna study a useful course like maybe medicine or pharmacy or accounting that will definitely be of need for the human population, then there is hope for you, but honestly let’s be honest, not everyone is gonna be that good at Maths or terrific at Physics or Chemisty. It’s funny how I tried my best to be the best student in my set, from secondary school to Uni, I always tried to stay on top, but all for what! Huh, tell me for what? At the end of the day you end up working for people who probably didn’t take school that seriously, but then it is what it is. Our current president is probably an illiterate but who cares? I hope he’s still alive though. Been hearing some rumors. Lol. Before I digress, my point is at the end of the day, this country forces you to go into business by fire by force.  I’m not saying I’m doing POS or Shawarma business o, but this country turns you into a Shawarma dealer or a POS person.  You know the thing is that while growing up, I used to judge criminals a lot, the thieves and fraudsters, the murderers and kidnappers, now don’t get me wrong, I’m never going to approve of those criminal acts and I will never encourage anyone doing that, but I get them now. I don’t approve of them but I understand them, I understand them a whole lot. Some people burned midnight candles, avoided relationships, did miserly jobs to afford to pay their fees and obtain a degree, paid huge sacrifices. All for what? All for what ???? To become a glorified Tailor? So why didn’t we just learn tailoring in the first place? That would have saved us a whole lot of time and money, and maybe some of us would have owned an empire by now.

Oh Now Buchi is singing? Really? Serious. He still sings? I’m surprised. I know I’m derailing guys but now that I think of it, where the hell is even Dbanj? Where is that guy. Seems like he just went off the Radar or something.

Sorry guys losing focus. But I’m back and you know what? This is all our fault. Yes. We humans and our love for unprotected sex I guess. I’m not talking about me, I’m just saying in general, we humans don’t think of birth control until it’s too late. Some of us have no business having or raising kids yet. I tell ya. You’re married doesn’t mean you have to bring a child to this world to suffer, if you can’t afford to provide for them, why pop them out? But what do I know? The society approves of it so be it. Go on, get married and start having little kids like a rat before your eggs finish and boom before you know it, 11 kids in 3 years. Don’t ask me how. Lol.

Do you even know what pisses me off the most? People who can obviously barely take care of themselves, having up to 10 children in this country? Like what are you thinking? One of them will end up the next President of the country? Freaking wake up. Except an Angel appears to in your dream, and says ‘ your child shall be the father of many nations’ and not in a ‘2face kind of way’, but like, he will be a president and all, so forget birth control,  all you did was increase the population of the country which is not even looking good for the economic situation of the country btw. 

Now I understand why China controlled their population. Like if you know you can’t afford to send your child to a good school and all that, why not use birth control until things are looking better for your family, I’m not saying you should wait until all your eggs finishes, but the thought of having children should even motivate you to want to be financially stable and make big steps everyday to make life comfy for your future kids. But no, God forbid if you decide not to have kids because you don’t have a stable environment for them that they can thrive in, at that point of your life. The society raises eyebrows at you  and mentally throws stones at you like you were the adulterous harlot who was to be stoned to death because she had 7 different husbands and before you know it, you are out there popping kids like champagne here and there. I get it. No judgment. I get it. I’m probably not going to be any different when I marry but I blame the society. I mean I want to have kids on time too before my eggs finish, it’s biologically wise to have kids early, I l know, but is it financially wise? This society can make you rush into things you are not ready for sometimes if you are not careful. May God help us all.

I don’t have it in me to talk about how the society has fucked us up and is still fucking us all up day by day, but maybe I might just talk about that some other day.  There is a whole lot more I wanna talk about but I fear that if it’s too long some of you may not make it to the end. Lol. My lil sister for example. That girl is not a reader of long things.  So part 2 it is then. I know what you’re thinking, am I still out at this deadly time of the night? Nah. I left the place I was blogging from since after Buchi started singing. 

Don’t worry fam. Will be posting part 2 soon. Until then. Stay safe! Thanks for reading. Yunno I love you! Bye for now. Xoxo,  your one and only blogger. Lizzybaby. Muah.😘😍😘😘😘😘😘

STRANDED

Hello Peeps.  Been a minute. Lol.

Happy New Year guys. I know I'm a tad late but better late than never innit? May this year be greater than our last!!!!

Okay guys, today I don't have any words of wisdom or school of thought. I'm just here to vent. Lol. Omo. Country tough o. That's all I can say mehn.

So I was coming back from work today, only to bring out money to pay the driver for his service after dropping me at my bustop, just to realize I left my purse at work. How much did I want to pay the guy, just N100 o. N100 that I didn't have. I searched and searched, omo. I no see anything o. I begged the driver to please let me go and borrow from someone to pay, and he actually waited for me to go and borrow to pay him. Infact, by the time I was coming to meet him, he was already coming to look for me. This man in question looked old enough to be my grandfather o. Lol. The passengers too were something else. They just sat there silently like nothing was happening. I ended up borrowing from someone I barely knew, to pay him and went back to work in search of my purse which I eventually found but this event just made me realise how alone we all are in this life and how harder the economy keeps getting. 

Times are different. While I was growing up, if you ever got stranded, a complete stranger could come to your rescue, or the driver may just unhappily let you go but this man was bent on me paying, even when he could see that I was stranded. People are getting colder and colder and not for the better but for the worse, but you can't blame them. Life changes people. Nigeria changes people. Situations changes people. The last time I tried to help a stranger, I got robbed. Nowadays , I even have Ptsd for borrowing because of all the money I lost in the past to borrowing. I don't have much to borrow but I'lld rather give what I have, that's even if I have this days. Nevertheless, people dey suffer o. If that driver could have been so mean to me because of N100, then isn't this country just amazing?

Life is becoming harder and tougher to sustain with each new Government in power. Lol. I'm not gonna talk Politics today, but there is nothing like a better Government. It's thesame people, thesame motives but different names and faces which will ultimately lead to the same result which is usually no result. Sadly, I'm making sense but going off point, lol. So that's a story for another day. 

So any way todays event made me realise how nobody is your keeper unless there is something in it for them. Lol. You think you got friends? Lol. Naw Fam. Your friends got YOU. Same way you are happy you got THEM. If you are not gaining now, probably you feel they'll be useful some day, likewise them. Lol. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying unconditional friendships don't exist. It's just, finding something pure and genuine these days is like trying to find a needle in a haystack. It's not impossible but we are only but humans after all and  I really hope we won't have to fall into a Canal until we realize it is only God who can bring us out. Now you're thinking of your friends and wondering who's really gotchya back. Why didn't you think of whose back you got. Truth is, we are all selfish and full of crap. We have all in one way or the other been that shitty friend, that shitty roommate or lover and we all can definitely do better. Be better. I don't know about you all but I'm just going through life knowing that when push comes to shove, only God can come through. 

Yikes. I dey write sha. Lol. I guess I'm done spitting. Till I come your way again. Keep breathing those sexy breaths in your beautiful, functioning lungs, my awesome readers. Lol. Stay hotter than the Sun! Bye Ya!
