Tips for Finding an Apartment in the UK

By -
Image
Looking for an apartment in London is like looking for a life partner. Very similar characteristics: You’ll see the one with a good location: proximity to market, bus station, etc, but has a tiny tiny room.  🤦🏻‍♀️   If you eventually find one of good size, the rent price will be enough to buy land in your home country!  If you say you should go for a shared apartment to save cost, you will see the one with too many flatmates (4-7 people under one roof)! With a high tendency of noise and discord! And I don’t recommend this if you’re a student!  You will also see the one that has only one bathroom (with like 7 Flatmates sharing it), and you’ll literally have to queue to shower! You will also find houses where flatmates have pets—pets that’ll be sharing the kitchen with you  😥 . And if you’re someone like me who has a phobia for animals, you’re finished! It’s just so difficult to find one that ticks all the boxes, especially if you’re on a budget: Space, locatio...

MY COMPANION - Tekno K7

By -
I'll be bias if I fail to appreciate you. You have been my only faithful companion in times of boredom, through thick and thin you have stayed by me. You get me busy typing when I'm inspired in my thoughts. I never knew you'd stand the test of time. No laptop, but you permit me to carry out the task of writing lengthy articles; even my keyboard knows my handwriting. You have proven to be that PC that never pisses me. No iPhone but your multitasking ability is amazing. Battery life don dey depreciate, yet you stand the test of time; even with 5percent I'm still jumping from instagram to facebook. Your memory space don hear ' Ween ' because I have stuffed you up with details, upon details, of everything I treasure. Pictures are flowing like streams of living water, my notepad is overwhelmed with stories yet untold. My gossip partner. I could be writing about someone next to me without him knowing. If to say you be human being, by now u for don ...

Where do we draw the line between sexual harassment and compliment?

By -
Image
This generation has seen the advancement of many sexual abuse campaigns by women, and many rape accusations too—both false and true. And I thought it would be great to have a conversation around this topic using relatable stories.  Recently, I saw a campaign by some women, holding placards—it was about their experiences of sexual harassment.  One of them said a guy approached her to ask for her phone number, and she counts that as “sexual harassment”.  Another woman said: “a man approached me and said I looked sexy”. After seeing all these campaigns and clamoring, the question in my head was; “what is sexual harassment?” The Oxford dictionary defines sexual harassment as “behavior characterized by the making of unwelcome and inappropriate sexual remarks or physical advances in a workplace or other professional or social situation.” So as it seems, a sexual remark becomes inappropriate when it is “unwelcome” by the receiver, but otherwise, it will not count as sexual haras...

“Keep an eye on her”...

  I did something today that I’m really proud of, even though I ended up breaking down in tears after — Calling out racism! I’ve met lovely people across all races since I moved to the UK. I’ve had very pleasant and memorable experiences. But I’ve also encountered people who left me with unpalatable experiences. One very repetitive disgusting experience is RACISM!  I don’t care how covert it is, it is evident and it absolutely disgusting! So today I discovered a massive mall not very far from me and I went on a tour. It is called Exchange mall located in Illford East London!  One of the shops I visited was TK Maxx , I looked around a bit as I window shopped, and on my way out as I approached the exit door, I saw a security staff dutifully positioned there.  I clearly heard one of his colleagues giving him an instruction through his walkie-talkie phone. He said, “The Black Female approaching, keep an eye on her”.  Now, I was the only Black female approaching the ...

BDSM

By -

BDSM - An acronym for ' bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism' . It is a form of sex where one person inflicts pain on the other for pleasure. And I will never understand the concept behind it.  Because why will you tie me with ropes and handcuffs, and flog me with a belt in the name of lovemaking? I find this insane!  You can call me old school but it just doesn’t make sense to me. There’s a difference between sexual abuse and abusive sex, and BDSM for me is abusive sex!  In research I participated in, I interviewed a lady who said that her husband cuts her lips with a blade and sucks her blood when having sex with her because sucking her blood turns him on the more. My people, please what do you call this? Vampire moves in the name of lovemaking! It is psychopathic!   It is called “love making” for a reason, and love in itself should not inflict pain on another, no matter how pleasurable it feels.  You mustn’t practice eve...

MISSING

  Something horrible happened to me recently. Turns out it is one of my 2021 highlights  Quite a lengthy read tho... I was all packed to leave for Brighton from London. Had one piece of luggage and a backpack, with my purse hanging in front of me.  Got on the bus, then on a train and then landed at the National rail station to board to Brighton. It would take 8mins for the train to arrive so I sat on a waiting chair where a young man was already seated, greeted him with a smile and sat beside him, with my backpack on the middle seat separating us.  Train arrived and I jumped on it, sat on a seat beside the toilet but decided to move to another cos of how close it was to the toilet. My earphones were plugged in throughout most of the journey. One & half hours into the journey we arrived at Brighton and people were already stood up waiting to alight, I noticed my backpack was missing.😳🤯 Scurried over and under my seat, see if it was there, but no, it wasn’t. Left...

VOLUNTEERING

By -
Image
I want to stress the need for volunteering. Volunteering means offering your skills, time, and resource to the benefit of other organizations or to someone else, without having an interest in being paid. I know that the term volunteering may sound synonymous with “ OSHOFREE ” for some people, especially Nigerians. It’s not your fault. For an economy where people struggle for survival, people will definitely eschew anything that doesn’t put money on their table. But regardless, the importance of volunteering cannot be overemphasized.  Volunteering gives you the opportunity to render service, and at the same time develop your skills. Sometimes our problem is that we focus too much on our stomachs and on immediate satisfaction that we lose out on many other opportunities for growth.   Yes, “man must survive” but there are so many other factors that can contribute to man’s survival, and some of them include: recommendations, improving your cv, building relationships, having goodw...

Dear Newlyweds…

By -

  Please don’t let anybody pressure you into when and how you should have children.  Please people should stop having “children-expectation” from newly married couples.  When a couple is newly married and after a year no child, people start labeling them as though they have fertility issues.  But that’s not always true. People have different reasons for not having kids immediately. And one of them is building intimacy.  📍 I think that the first few years of marriage should be used to build intimacy with your partner.  This intimacy and friendship are what will hinge both partners together in the long run.  📍 Because whether you like it or not, when children start coming it can never be that same.  There’ll be a lot of distractions and divided attention.  📍 Your Intimacy is more or less like glue in the relationship, and it is pertinent because your children will become adults and eventually leave to stay on their own, and you will be left ...

Quick short story...

So I’ve always wanted to model, to be on a billboard, do fashion, makeup, or something. It’s a passion I had low-key. Not because of the cliched assumption that “every tall slim girl should be a model”, but because I loved myself so much, and wished to put myself out there.   This pushed me to apply to many modeling agencies back in Nigeria. I applied left, right and center, but with no luck. Though I had reservations. And my reservations were that I didn’t fancy bikini modeling or pageantry. I knew what I wanted, so I just kept pitching and reaching out to loads and loads of agencies, but without any success.   So one day, I found an advert on a billboard, by a modeling agency calling for models. I showed up on the day of the audition amongst many other young girls, but I got turned down because I asked questions. Lol Here’s how it happened:   So after the audition, I was selected. And part of the process required filling some forms and signing off a contract. I sat down...
