This topic is a very sensitive topic to discuss because it hits somepeople really hard but the truth is what will be will be. Recently I've been hearing about this marriage and pregnancy pressure more on people and it's unfair. So today I was in a car with some ladies, turns out that one of the ladies had been married for 8 years without a child. Her old school friend saw her and they were so happy to see each other, talking beside me so as we were about to leave, the other lady says "My regards to your kids o, you didn't even tell me their names".. "my sister, I'm still waiting on God o" the other lady replied. "Wow, since that long time wey you don marry, you never born. Nawa o. Don't worry God will do it".. "thank you my friend". Just imagine such reply from an adult. A woman! Why couldnt  she just change the topic if she didn't have anything good  to say? I was really angry! I rolled my eyes as she was walking a...

I landed in New York but I was going to be based in New Jersey. I slept in the car because it was a long ride and I was too tired.  I started school, it was amazing but I was the only African in my class, honestly I didn't really care because there was another dark girl also but I think racists are almost everywhere abroad.  After about 4 months, My aunty I stayed with in New Jersey had a very serious issue and it was time for us to move but i wasnt going to move with them because of their situation.

Hello everyone!!! Thank you for understanding that I had to stay away from updating my blog for a while but due to many "please start again", I had to just start again. I stayed away for many reasons best known to me and now I think I'm back and better. As much as I love writing, it can be a bit confusing because sometimes I want to write about myself and I feel "oh, I'm putting out too much" and sometimes I want to write about something that happened to me or what someone told me and I'm so bothered about how they'd feel and all. But I'm happy I can balance it all now and hopefully, once or twice a week, I'll update my blog so you can read what I have to say. -----------------------------------------------------------  Today, I want to share my personal story. This is part of the most surprising thing that has ever happened to me because I couldn't believe it all and because I learnt a lot from it, I believe I can share it. Also...
