I think I like this little life

Is it so little?😔

Hiiiiii💋💃🏽💃🏽. Did you miss meeee??? I def did😗. Howee youuuu? ( In Mama Deola’s voice😂😂) Forgive me for disappearing last week… Man proposes, but God disposes😪. I’m currently typing this in a cramped BRT bus on a cold Monday morning in Oshodi Traffic😪.

Imma go straight into the gist cos I’ve missed you too much😭.

The past two weeks have been quite a handful and omo, I don’t even know where to start from, but as per normal, we meuve😗.

As how na?😭

I’ve always been a sucker for the drama that goes on in Lagos, no matter how tiring the state itself is 😂. That’s how on Monday, this old lady and a younger lady were fighting on BRT queue cos of space or sumn like that😂. It was a heated verbal fight o. So, apparently, this young lady didn’t meet the old woman on the queue when she joined, but when the bus came, she saw the old lady. *Shock!* fgs, the old lady had been sitting elsewhere cos she couldn’t stand on the queue but she had already kept her space. When I sha entered the bus, this kuru woman was still arguing with the old lady. If you see how she was insulting her ehn. People in the bus were even cautioning her to stop, that the old lady was old enough to be her mother. You know what this woman said, ‘ My mother would not be talking to me like this, so she should respect herself.’ Ehn, ah!😂😂. Mo ni gbam! As people were cautioning the young lady, she was just giving them gbas gbos😭. I kuku minded my business. You can’t be yabbing me on a hot evening in BRT from work😭.

There’s one hairstyle that’s been trending for quite a while now. Personally, I feel it’s a very silly style. Why will you cut your hair, almost everything, and then plait the little that’s left🤦🏽‍♀️. More people even use dreads or those extensions that boys of my generation are using now. Now, I’m not against cutting or plaiting your hair. What I find silly is trying to combine both. Habaaa! No be every time you go dey kill 2 birds with one stone abeg🙏🏽😂.

Wetin be dis abeg😭😂😂

In Nigeria, sometimes, the PR for some of these nollywood movies is just excessive. At the end of the day, the movie won’t even really make brain😭. And then, there are some that don’t even get half enough PR, but make so much seeeense. One of them is ‘Afamefuna.’ To be honest, this movie made a lot of brain. It also gives insight into how the entire Igbo business thing works. If you haven’t watched it, you really should. I’m sure you’ll like it. If you’ve watched it, lmk what you think of it. I feel Paul is a very stupid boy. I understand where his BS is coming from o, beht even thoughhhhh 😒. If I nab am for street, I go rough am die😗.

Speaking of movies, guess whatttt!!! I started watching K-dramaaaaa!!!! For years, my friends have tried to persuade me to watch K-drama or listen to K-pop but I never gave in. They also tried to drug me into anime, J-drama, and Bollywood, but I neva gree😗, so I dinor disappoint you fully🤭. This past month, I don’t know what ju-ju one of them used for me, but I asked for a K-drama reco. and she delivered. The K-drama she recommended is ‘Business Proposal.’ Omoo!!!!! I can’t even explain how excited I am/was 😂. Lately, I’ve been happier. It’s K-drama that’s making me smile like a love-struck fool o😂😂. Even though I’ve not finished it (I’m on Ep. 10/12) it’s been so amazing so far. All of you who have been watching K-drama, why didn’t you tell meeee😭😭? Kang Tae-Moo + Shin Ha-Ri 🥹🫱🏾‍🫲🏾. If you don’t watch K-drama, you really need to tell me what you do in your free time😭.

🥹😭

One of these past days, I saw 2 car accidents in one evening. Barely 30 minutes away from each other😭. The first one was at Oshodi. A commercial bus hit a Venza😭😂. It wasn’t even a yellow bus o. It was one of those big blue and white buses😭. Omo! I couldn’t even comment, cos shock wan wound me for the BRT bus wey I dey. Barely 30 minutes later, at Dopemu, I saw another one. A small truck and a car were kissing😭. I don’t even grab how those ones bashed themselves. Craze driving everywhere for this Lagos.

By the wayyy, If you pass through Ikeja, you’d have seen that thing they’re building across the bridge. Abeg what is it?😭 I heard it’s a pedestrian bridge, but omo, e no resemble am. I can’t even place what it looks like. They’ve been building that thing since last year. They’ve not finished it since. They’re just doing slow-slow like all these K-dramas. Be putting somebody in stupid suspense😒. I couldn’t find a picture of it, if not, I’d have shown you.

Guess what againnnn!!!!!
I’ve started learning how to drive💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽😂!!!! By the time I finish learning, omo, it’s over for y’all😗. Lagos go hear am say pesin jus learn finissshhhh💃🏽😂😂. Even though I don’t have a car or what I’ll use to show Lagos pepper yet, I’m still learning o. When I finish learning, I’ll be borrowing your cars🤭, until I buy mine. But until then, I go still humble, dey use public bus😭😂😂.

Unpopular opinion, but ewa agoyin is overrated abeg😪.
And yes, I said what I said😌

Also, is it now a trend, cos why am I seeing more people walking the streets of Lagos with their dogs? They’re literally everywhereee😭😭. Today it’s chihuahua, tomorrow, it’s German Shepherd. You won’t even see them walking all those low-maintenance dogs o. It’s all these special breed dogs they’ll be carrying about on their stupid leash. Me that’s now scared of dogs. If you see how I give those dog-carrying people social distancing ehn😭. The worst part is when they’re walking across the Pedestrian bridge with their dogs😭😭. Is your dog a pedestriannn😭😭? Uncle, it’s either you and your dog will cross the express, or you climb the pedestrian bridge, and let your dog cross the road. You have to choose one o, cos I can’t even stand seeing one more person with their dog on the pedestrian bridge💔.

I was at Mile 12 over the weekend, and I saw some fruits I had never thought we had in Nigeria😭. My close-minded self thought we didn’t grow them in Nigeria, but mehnnnn, if you see those veggies and fruits in Mile 12!!! You’ll yinmu at Shoprite’s grocery section sef. I saw aubergines, striped cucumbers, striped watermelons, and very large pumpkins. As in, very largeeee!! Those people in the north are growing stuff o. If you see those big big fruits at quite affordable prices for their value ehn. I even saw 2 Indians and a Pakistani there. Prolly shopping for their big restaurants. They’ll now charge 30k for a meal when they bought ingredients 5k 😒. That’s their consain sha.

I had my very first presentation in my office on Thursday. It was during our knowledge-sharing session and omo, I was scareddddd😂😂. I spoke about the power of journaling. If you see how I was shaking ehn😭, but yes I pulled through and everybody clapped so loudly🤭. Presenter tó sharp😂.

Welll, I think that’s about it. All the tea on everything that happened in the past fornight😗. Thanks for sticking around. Ilyyy❤️.

PS. My best friend has a severe fever and my sister is writing SSCE. Put them in your prayersss. Pleaeeaseee 🥹. I’ll buy you Super Yogo😗.

Signing out to finish my K-drama😗,
Dami🌹
