Happy International Women's Day

Sweet memories
Memories that brings tears to my eyes
Memories that leave me smiling
Memories that make me double my pledge to do right by My Sweet Mother.

Growing up, I saw Mum go through hell and high waters just for her we her children to be settled, to have a better life, without looking back at any consequence or names she'd be called.
Mum took loans
Mum sold her costly clothes and jewelries for peanuts
Mum did everything to ensure we never went hungry
She'd stay up to nurse us back to health 
Ohhhhhh Dab paid all the bills but it was Mum that slept on the hospital floor when both of my brothers were admitted for surgery 
She stood as our advocate and intermediary before Dad and we the kids
She was there to teach us morals and give our bums hot lashes when we bent.

Today, I join the world in celebrating all the women out there for all the love and sacrifices they give
No words or monetary gift will do but be assured that you're greatly loved and your sacrifices don't go unnoticed.

People love bad news People love to hear bad news about others And yes, people love to spread bad news about others! Nigerian Actress Angela Okorie has been online ranting, from one person to the other. This person is bad, The other person is a killer Today it's Mercy Johnson and her mother who are witches and turn people into goat. Someone you claim to have been close to? Everybody around you is bad and you're the only good one? Sometimes people try to trash talk another because they either feel intimidated, are envious, or feel they're in some form of competition. It's only a handful of times that you get the truth. You talk trash about people and say it's boldness and you're calling them out with your full chest?

Bingo on the lose

My people, I was taking my daughter to school when I heard sounds of feet behind me and a man making a call signal. I turned to see what was going on, only to find a correct dog right behind me. Hmmmmmm my mouth opened on its own accord, next thing I knew, doors were flying open because the way my screaming pierced the air, ahhhhhhhhhhhh! The man started apologizing profusely, saying the dog just took off the minute he opened his door. And everyone went into their rooms as per, normal occurrence. Since I set foot in the Dublin, I think dogs are dragging numbers with humans. Everywhere you turn, someone has a dog and you need to see how protective they are about it. They smile and tell you 'Don't worry, he/she is friendly and loves to play' Then they pause with their dog and wait for you to rub the dog. It's considered impolite and somewhat rude when you don't. I opened the lift today to find one gigantic dog and the owner staring it me. Semi human and sh...
