Musings of an average girl

It was an unlikely encounter, really.      Stella was a bubbly girl. She was one of those who entered a room with their mouths first. She was short at 5"3 in that skin tone group of neither dark nor fair. She had a pleasant face that never really crossed to being pretty, but was saved by having a smile that transformed her face from pleasant to gorgeous, enough curves to show she was female but not enough to make anyone stare. The truest compliments paid her were, "you are such a pleasant girl", "you such a friendly person" and "there is never a dull moment with you".     After running her mouth, she just manages to make off in one piece as she never quite provokes you to anger with her jests. She was one of the "ple ntious " masses who get affected by the slightest increase in the price of fuel and garri. She was on her way from buying said garri, standing by the road side waiting to get a bike when Pascal's car splashed mud all ove...

Isabella couldn't believe the reality before her eyes. How long was forever, really?    "I lo ve you forev er and a day more" he had said and she had believed him whole heartedly, believed every word. Forever had turned out to be a very short time indeed. He had seemed so sincere as he uttered those words and there went her trust. She had trusted him with her life, loved him from the depth of her soul. Why would he promise to be here forever and just up and leave? Did the promises shared mean nothing to him? Did he not care the situation he was leaving her in? How did he ever expect her to cope? He was her life, her pillar, her therapist and more importantly, her rock. And now? She's been left adrift at sea with no land in sight? Where does she start from?     Broken didn't begin to capture the state of her heart right now. She had really believed him when he said he would be with her forever. So forever was just 23 years, 9 months and 17 days? Cos that's ho...

    Its been a week since the incident in Blessing's house and she was still in perpetual night. It was as if the sun set and refused to rise. The complete lack of an apology from Melvin didn't help her pride at all. So, she had meant nothing to him? Or maybe she had served her purpose. She never should have branched out into advertising. The company was doing well before. But the need to make Melvin acknowledge her one way or the other was too great. She had to propose ridiculously low budgets to get the jobs they bid on, but the other areas of the company made up for the lack of profit from advertising. She gave a self-depreciating laugh. This went against all she thought she was. She was a modern confident woman who didn't need to play games to attract attention, Yet here she was. It seems when it came to Melvin, she didn't know herself at all. She had deliberately made stupid business decisions because of some misplaced hurt. And to what end? At the end of the day, ...

    i didn't know I had so much audience o. Is that not what it is called? People watching you. Really, I didn't know it was this bad! ahah! See me, see case o. Okay, let me explain.      Over the weekend, i attended my friend's baby naming ceremony. Me na, with my 'sumarty' , was helping to share the food, (throways face) and even carried the babies of other mums when they needed the help. Then, it started.      "Your baby is soo cute" she's smiling.      "oh, Its not my baby, i'm helping the mother. She's busy"      "Oh", she said.     You will be surprised how much emotions can be packed into one syllable - Disappiontment, scepticism, sadness, questioning your ability to reproduce, and most shocking of all, anger. Yes o! They are angry that you don't have a baby of your own. Is it their born? Ha! I shrugged it off.      When i wasn't carrying a b...

    Daughter of former governor of Delta State, Orode Uduaghan-Okpu turned 27 today. The mother of two shared these stunning photos along with some inspiring words. "When Strength Matters!! (Another Year today)," she writes Through the pain I saw grace Through the sorrow I saw joy Through the hardship I held on to faith Through the sleepless nights I saw peace Through the heart breaks I became love Through the sadness I learnt to smile Through the fire I kept it cool Through the storm I became calm Through the betrayal I grew loyal Through the hurt I saw healing Through the surgeries I saw Restoration Through the battering I gained strength Through the mistakes I found a path Through the shame Identity came Through the fear I found courage Through the lies I saw the hidden truth Through the gossips I learnt silence Through the brokenness I gained Myself Through it all He wrapped His arms around me and made it all better. Jesus made it all Better. ...
