Dignity Has No Gender!

By -

There’s a leaked sex tape of a male Nigerian artist—Oxlade—trending online. And I’ve been seeing people cruising about it on so Social media—people calling him a “Spider-man” and praising him for his “skills”.

No body is saying how disgusting his attitude is, no one is saying how disappointed they are in him; and how he has no “dignity”.

I remember some time last year, when a leaked sex tape of the female Nigerian artist, Tiwa Savage, surfaced. I recall how she were called out and massively shamed for that (a sex tape that was probably used as a blackmail). But in Oxlade’s case, people are catching cruise and trivializing it. He will not lose any endorsement, as a matter of fact, his songs will probably trend more. 

This tells you how society has normalized IRRESPONSIBILITY in men/boys, and this is really disheartening.

Mind you, the point here is not for “irresponsibility” to be normalized in both genders, but rather, for the same level of self-worth and “dignity” be demanded of both male and female.

If something is categorized as “shameful” it means that it remains shameful whether it was done by a man or a woman. 


Dignity has no gender!


All of you posting memes of Oxlade as a Spider-Man, but shamed Tiwa savage, you all are “HEEPOCREETS”!

THE UNSINKABLE

By -

We all have read or seen the movie about the British passenger liner carrying an estimated 2,224 passengers and crew abroad that sank in the North Atlantic Ocean in the early hours of 15 April 1912 after colliding with an iceberg thereby triggering the death of over 1500 people including her architect Thomas Andrews who designed the ship,🚢  making it one of the deadliest commercial peacetime maritime disasters in modern history. It was beyond the fondest imagination of the ship’s builders Harland and Wolff that the ship which was 882ft long, 175ft tall and 64ft deep would somehow be incapacitated and end up a wreck. They tagged it ‘FLAWLESS’ it was second to none; UNSINKABLE! ‘Not even God can cause this ship to sink’ so they said forgetting that even God’s foolishness is wiser than man’s wisdom. Titanic didn’t immediately sink, the helmsman, captain or sailor actually got the warning signals before the ship sank but they were too sure and convinced beyond doubt about ...

#ONE_BIG_FAMILY It’s been over two months since their story shook the internet. A family of five that was known for their bizarre lifestyle and affliction. Ben, his wife and three kids for over seven years roamed the hinterlands of Bekwarra-Ogoja, Cross River State in search of nothing in particular. Adorned in their customary rags and spotting dreadlocks, which is typical of insane people in Nigeria, they found a home sleeping in open fields and in the cold. Two months after

The prophet claims that he decided to increase Stephanie's reward as God blessed him abundantly with a blessing too huge for him to mention, after he gave her 2million naira. Stephanie Idolor was given the brand new car days after she got N2m from the same prophet. Success Adegor, the 7-year-old had got angry because she was sent out of school because she had not paid her school fees.

Ghosting…

By -

  “If someone ghosts you, respect the dead and move on .”  I saw this quote somewhere, and in as much as I strongly agree with the post, I also believe that there are arguably situations where it might be the wrong advice.  I once had a friend who for some reason decided to stop speaking to me. And whenever I try to reach out to him I was snubbed and got no response. I took this personally, given that we had no prior brawl, and there was no reason for such behavior. I had every reason to believe that I was being ghosted, and I believed so.  But following my gut feeling, I thought I should double-check. So I continued reaching out to him via chats, and eventually, he responded! He said he had been going through a phase of depression following the loss of his mom, hence his silence . I became so empathetic with him, understanding that I wasn’t actually being ghosted.  I have since come to learn that our assumptions might not always be right. You can be so sure yet...

Making Hair Abroad

By -

Often times when you see people overseas carrying ‘ dada ’ (dreadlocks), it’s not swag o; it’s often because of the cost of making their hair every now and then. If you consider the cost of making your hair in the UK, you’d rather cut it or grow dreadlocks. In this country, people don’t change hairstyles randomly, especially African ladies, because we’re high maintenance. That’s why you see many ladies have different versions of WigCaps. I see a lot of Africans, including school children, carry their braids even though it is due for a change or has developed so much undergrowth (which often tells you how long the hair has stayed for). 😂 In fact, the first time I made my hair here, I undid it after 3weeks (cos I felt it was due for a change) and went back to have it remade,  but I was surprised by the lady’s reaction when she realized I had undone the hair she made ‘just’ three weeks ago. Hahaha... She made me feel like I was being wasteful.😂 Here, nobody is your friend when it co...

What’s Your Time?

March 2021 was my first time experiencing the Clock jumping time. When I first heard that UK time moves forward/backwards by an hour, I was wondering what that would mean 🤔 and how it’ll even work. I was like: time moving faster? how? Who changes it? Lol. Last year, it happened on March 28, and I remember staying awake till 1am just to witness this ‘magic’. Lol This year, it is occurred this morning, 27th March, 2022 (usually the last Sunday in March), and i also didn’t  miss it. Fortunately, we’ve got a non-digital wall clock and I have my phone which of course is digital. I needed these two gadgets for comparison, as well as to have a visual experience of the change (because the time on my phone will automatically change, while the wall-clock will not, unless done manually). I stood there watching the countdown, and to my awe, I saw my phone jump from 00:59 to 2.00am, whereas, the wall-clock moved from 12:59 to 1.00am. I was wowed! 😯  I had so many questions in my head:...

THE DUMBEST THING I DID GROWING UP

By -

So there was this guy ‘chyking’ me (asking me out). He was like 7years older than me. Anytime I passed through their house, his sisters would call out to him saying “ Kevwe, your babe dey pas o ”. I was still a teenager, and he was way older, I despised him. Cos he’d obstinately escort me to fetch water, against my will. Even when I’ve warned him severally to gimme SPACE, he wouldn’t listen. This guy was stalking me and I hated it! Before you know it the “area boys” who normally teased me whenever I was carrying a bucket of water on my head, would find another reason to tease me even more; they’d begin to call him ‘my guy’. And I’d be so mad! I fetched water morning and evening, and this guy would just goan position himself somewhere and be waiting for the hour when I’d pass through their compound, as there was no other road to the borehole. He’d walk by my side, asking to help me, but I always shunned him,  most times I’d double my pace and walk faster even with water on my head, ...
