ODE TO MY IBADAN PRINCE 

 I once fell in love with an Ibadan Prince,
Whether illusive or real I cannot tell, but I'm certain, my Ibadan Prince, though of royalty, 
Is a very level headed man,
Kind-hearted, intelligent, adventurous but not as wild as his Eko counterpart.

He is often described as 'laid back' and unruffled, something he picked from his ville. 
With a lanky frame, cute face, a great sense of HUMOUR and knowing eyes that has experienced LIFE! 
His ego is very subtle but easily misinterpreted as arrogance. 
















Oh! He brags! That can be annoying but I love him like that!
The sight of his dimple tickles my scalp!

I love His certainty about LIFE, pursuit of PURPOSE and how he balances it all!
Oh my Ibadan Prince! Thank you for coming to my rescue,
For letting me know LOVE like this still exists. Love in it's rare form, undiluted and freely expresssed.

My love for you flows like an ocean with only one concourse, and that's towards you! 
I love how you trace my 'didi' in the shadows, hold my hands and sing to me, sweet folklore songs, gazing into my eyes!
Such a scintillating silhouette!
This raw native love we found in each other's arms, May the boisterous nature of Lagos never quench it - (Amin)

This Prince who hails from Ibadan is the sure SAFE HAVEN!

GRAVE, YOU GOT MAIL! How are y’all doweeeeen? Hmnnnn..It’s 'say-no-rape-o’clock' guys, stay what? STAY WOKE guys.  Matter is in court so we can't comment. Y'all sending me links to watch the video, una do well oh. I still haven't seen the whole video, yeah. The little i've seen has messed up my mind. There's a whole lot on that video to unpack, I hope I can share my views at a later date. Anyways, let's get to the gist of the day.  I’ve always wanted to be a red head for some weird and funny reason. But Daddy won’t let me be great, such a disciplinarian. I remember the first time I wanted to experiment with it when I was 21, lol. I got to the salon and the hairdresser sold me the idea, it sounded cool and different and I was like, “let’s do this “. Really this will be so much fun. I’m laughing hysterically at myself as I write this. I went ahead with my red coloured braids, I bought with my money. Knowing the disciplinarian...

GOODBYE TWO-GOODY SHOES I was raised to be chaste Not to give myself away in a haste  But alas, I did... When I was still but a kid. I've always played hard to get  Never to easily become a man's pet But my adventurous mind gave me away And so I tossed my pink skirt in the hay  In a split second, my innocence was gone Like a bullet from a hunter's gun The girl had become a woman Those shoes will never fit again!

WEIRD NEGOTIATIONS

  Hola! Mi amor! When you meet me for the first time, or you hear me speak, you’ll probably tell me the same thing everyone says, ‘You’re intelligent’ I guess that’s what made my SSA boss hire me way back in 2012. It’s become cliché because it a regular- first-impression-rub-off. You see, it's how I come across, it not ‘act’ to impress (although it’s only fair that I put in an extra effort if I want to get something from you). There’s also a possibility of connecting with my ‘inner chimp’ before you meet the real me. Necessary façade. It started out as just liking me and liking you, a couple of banters and after some unnecessary ghosting because we discovered a connection and decided to make it work. Oyinbo aside, make I just yarn una gist; I met bobo in a corporate setting, thinking about it again, it was random yeah but his alpha-male streak caught my attention laced with the nerdy look but the part wey dey burst my head ehn…na the Bad boy signature beards. Gaddemit! (I’m a...
