My birthday was two days away. After the incident with Austin, my determination to celebrate in style was renewed. Ronke and I had decided to settle for small chops instead of the customary party rice. “We’d complement with drinks. I’m so not down for cooking rice jare,” she announced. She was my personal party-planner I had twenty-four seven. “I’ll take you shopping for the right dress. Something that says slutty and innocent at the same time,” my fashionista friend announced. “Babe! I don’t do slutty!” I giggled at the thought. “Well, it’s your birthday! Choose. Do I make a dress…

Dear Dorothy, I’ve been seeing this man for about a year, but there is something that is starting to get to me about our relationship. We met each other at a friend’s birthday party and got on quite well; and this led to our dating each other. However, I am uneasy about the way he talks about other women he’s met or dated in the past. He is quite good looking and I am sure he attracts a lot of admirers, but I am upset by his talk about other women. I think it is in bad taste and disrespectful…
Sometimes there comes that excess fat, excess skin, or excess wrinkles that you want to fix and as great as cosmetic surgery is, it isn’t something that is right for everyone. Cosmetic surgery is often used to improve one’s physical appearance. While you may be told that beauty is more than just your physical appearance, it may have a negative impact on your life. Those who are down or feel like they don’t have any other options are likely to suffer from depression, low self-esteem, and have a poor sense of self-confidence. If you are feeling this way, cosmetic surgery…
It is difficult to decide if people don’t know what to wear to work or if they have lost sight of the importance of appearance to a proficient success- their profession. Let’s take a trip right now to a busy restaurant at lunchtime, take a seat and then look around. What kind of people do you see around you? What are they wearing? Do you or do you not try to make a judgement about who they are, their line of business, their personalities and their competencies? Now think about how you feel when you are dressed in your usual…

Few weeks ago on this page, I poured out my heart on how I feel about the travails of the iconic songwriter and singer, Majek Fashek. I have requested all lovers of Majek, all lovers of good music, indeed all lovers of their neighbour to use whatever power they have to change the story of this most talented Nigerian. My understanding of ‘power’ is the ability to make a positive difference. Real power to me is not being in a position to send someone to jail or to amass zillions of Naira or to build a multibillion naira estate or…
HOLY HUMOUR Loch Ness Monster An atheist was rowing at the lake, when suddenly the Loch Ness monster attacked and grabbed him from his boat. He panicked and shouted “God help me!” and suddenly, the monster and everything around him just stopped. A voice from the heavens boomed, “You say you don’t believe in me, but now you are asking for my help?” The atheist looked up and said: Well, ten seconds ago I didn’t believe in the Loch Ness Monster either! THINK ABOUT IT To write with a broken pencil is pointless. QUESTION OF FAITH QUESTION: What does a…
