My own Affang soup

Peoples!!!! how y'all doing??? its been raining rats and mice since yesterday know what i mean? the type of rain that drizzles all day and never stops.You dont get wet ,just very cold and irritated.
I decided to make the best out of a very gloomy saturday, how? by preparing a delicacy i enjoy very much,my own affang soup,not the conventional affang we all know but in my own little way i have discovered a not so big secret in making my affang much more interesting and very very delicious.And i a'int sharing!! lol.
Anyways its gots lots of greens as usual,with loads of red pepper,a very massive chunk of kpomo {who no know kpomo na you know} just some little red meat and some dry fish,no stockfish and my secret ingredient.
It comes out looking swell and super, I down it with a plate of boiled rice no eba nor poundi, just hot white rice with a bottle of chilled coke 50cl, rub my bloated belly smile and relax in front of the tv. Now that's my idea of heaven
So i'm off to the kitchen now cos there's this aroma calling out to me and i've got to answer. Later peoples and..... enjoy....

friends for benefits

Some people never just learn to say no.... i dont wanna be friends with you....hello?????
Get it! when you come to see me i dont leave what i'm doing to talk to you! when you call my phone I don't take your calls.and you know why i dont wanna be friends with you? cos all you do when you come over is call your boyfriends and spend time chatting with them while your husband sits at home thinking you're with your friend. You dont come to see me cos you want to,you come to see me cos there's something up your sleeve,my crib is just the perfect alibi for your fun times like you call them.
Well nobody forced you to get married,nobody says you shouldnt make the best out of your marriage.Nobody says cheating on your husband is the best escape from problems at home.
Point is why are so many many married women these days having extra marital affairs,and also publicly flaunting it? gone are the days when it was just the men that have exrta marital affairs, gone are those days when it was just a man's world,today most women are boldly having affairs and openly flaunting it,or what else would you call it when a well known married woman walks out of a hotel at an ungodly hour laughing and giggling girlishly with a man who's not her husband by her side??
What's my take in all of this? a woman should never never never ever cheat on her man no matter his crime.We are demi goddesses, we create and carry beings in us for nine months,we give life and nuture them,we replenish the earth.We should keep ourselves holy and hallow, and not to be influenced by society and all its norms and vices.Well that's just my own point,it will be good for some and bad for some.
Anyhu just some pics from the south depicting our rainy days, enjoy...

wetin my eye see

Yesterday i was on my own jejeje coming back from lunch when all of a sudden i heard loud sirens behind me. i bein wan run but i just hold my side, come maintain.It was our own First lady on her way to commission something something,and as i stood and watched i noticed they were slowing down and the hullaballoo was getting closer and closer to where i was.Trust me tatafo no 1, i quickly donned my serious girl look and before you could say jack sparrow i was part of the entourage, feeling like a journalist ansd snapping away.All those years of going to the library as a little girl and borrowing only Enid Blyton's Secret Seven and Famous Five were finally paying, i should say. snap snap snap lolz!
Mummy { as we call all our first ladys and governor's wives and commissioner's wives,even if we old pass them well well,as far as dem fit dash us something dem don turn our mummy.local government chairman wife sef na mummy} was here to commission Safe Delivery For Mothers, a programme aimed at reducing death rates amongst pregnant mothers especially those in the rural areas.The place was swarming with Governor's wives,minister's wives and all the female powers that be in Naija.Not to small thing oh! wetin my eye see. i come dey wonder when me sef go come be like these women,my time dey come i know.
Dame Patience is indeed very lucky, with all that slowly rising up from a College of Education lecturer's wife, to a deputy governor's wife, to a governor's wife, to a Vice President's wife and finally the over all prize a President's wife and i'm not a fan of that name 'patience'.Well, lesson learnt.
Enuff rants sue,give me pics i want pics! lolz!!



eyez right!!


mummy don come



hey its his job!!





okada ejo oh



all those women in pink shirts are pregnant mothers
