    7 Signs You Are Not Over Your Ex Yet

    While we are sorry that the relationship ended and left you with a broken heart, we are also interested in seeing you move on and glow sis. If you can relate to the signs you are not over your ex yet on this list then you need to put more effort into moving on. You’re allowed to mourn the end of a relationship but you shouldn’t put your life and happiness on hold because of it girl.

    1. You keep stalking him on social media.

    If you’re still significantly contributing to the profile views on his social media accounts then there’s a problem. You my dear, are slowly becoming the stalker ex girlfriend the movies talk about. And you need to stop before the embarrassing plot twist comes. For your own good.

    2. You keep engineering accidental run-ins with him.

    And it keeps getting awkward. You need to stop bumping into him too girl. At this point he can probably already tell that it is no longer coincidence.

    3. You are almost always texting him.

    …or even outrightly texting him. Both of which are unhealthy choices if you really want to move on with your life.

    4. You keep wanting other men to be like him.

    Because you have made him the bar. But he is not be the bar. You determine what or who the bar is. You need to take control of the narrative.

    5. Everything reminds you of him.

    And not in a good way. But rather in that deep melancholic my-life-is-in-ruins without him kind of way.

    6. You are always talking about him.

    You keep talking about him to anyone who cares to listen. So much that even friends who don’t really know him can write a full essay on him complete with an accurate picture of his personality.

    7. You have decided to maintain beef with his new girl.

    Even when she didn’t do anything to instigate it. You keep beefing his new girl for no reason other than that she replaced you. But she is not the problem dear, she is living her best life. The problem is that you somehow think she stole the key to yours. But she didn’t.

    While you are here would love some feedback on our “What She Said” series. Please be a darling and drop it HERE.

  • 7 Things You’ve Probably Thought About Doing To An Ex

    7 Things You’ve Probably Thought About Doing To An Ex

    We’ve all had that one ex that did us wrong. Broke our hearts and left it shattered in the street.

    Whether your ex boy- or girlfriend cheated on you, dumped you, stole all your money and ran away with your best friend, you’ve probably thought about doing some or all of these things to them:

    1. Whistle-blowing their ass to the EFCC.

    The rationale behind this is simple: If you can no longer enjoy their money – especially if it was made illegally – at least this way you’ll still get 5 percent of it.

    2. Setting their clothes on fire.

    Okay, this is extreme, but you know you’ve thought about doing it. If you burn their clothes they will no longer have any fine thing to wear and can no longer be doing “notice me” up and down.

    3. Ordering a bunch of things online with their debit card.

    If you stayed long enough with your ex, you’d probably have their card information in your browser history. If you get caught, you can easily claim it was a mistake. And if you don’t, you’d have bought yourself out of the heartbreak.

    4. Blackmail.

    Another extreme, but it’s just a thought, isn’t it? Odds are you’d have some incriminating information on the ex. An embarrassing video, proof of some sinister or illegal act, or the good old “noods” that could just “leak” and ruin their career.

    5. Hack their social media accounts.

    If your ex is a social media cool kid, this one might actually set them off the edge more than the others. They’d most likely have logged into their account with your phone or laptop, so getting in might not be a problem. You could choose a plethora of options: From posting random things you know they wouldn’t, to outright deleting the account and watch them panic with glee. Yes, evil, but again, just a thought.

    6. Troll their social media accounts.

    Many a social media accounts have been set up for just this very purpose. Trolling an ex on social media is most likely the top thing you’ve thought about doing to an ex. The benefits are twofold; on the one hand, you get to keep tabs without risking your ex finding out you’re monitoring them online, and on the other hand, you get to make their online life miserable almost in the same way your real life was following the break up.

    7. “Slightly” messing up their car.

    If the break up was a really hard one, all that pent up anger might have made you consider getting physical and smashing up your exes’ property. Say for instance, their car. It could feel good to break something belonging to someone who did you so much wrong, but you would have to bolt out of there as fast as you can so you don’t get caught. The law might not exactly be on your side.

    When an ex does you wrong, sometimes you just want to scream:

    It can really pain.

    However, please be advised that this is only a hypothetical list and not an endorsement to carry out any, some or all of these actions.

    In the end, you just have to find a way to deal with your heart break, even if that means confronting your ex just like #hurtbae did. Remember her?
  • When Your Ex Doesn’t Want You To Succeed In Life

    When Your Ex Doesn’t Want You To Succeed In Life

    So you and your ex have been broken up for a while.

    And after crying almost everyday for months.

    Listening to all the heartbreak songs on your laptop.

    Attending all the anointing services and prayer meetings.

    Waiting in the hope that they would come to their senses.

    Finding yourself being admitted into the hospital because they did not come back oh!

    You are finally happy!

    Your friends have even gassed you to make a move on your new crush.

    But that didn’t work out too well.

    Only for you to get one useless voicemail.. “Hey babe. I miss you”.

    Me?

    You remember the love and want that old thing back.

    Then you remember the break up and how you suffered.

    How your enemies were laughing at you.

    So you delete & block their number.

    Goodbye forever! Because..

    Jessica Jones: All The Times Kilgrave Proved He Was A Yoruba Demon
    Ever watched the Netflix hit show, Jessica Jones? Ever thought.. “there is something eerily similar between the Yoruba demons frequently described by Zikoko and the villain Kilgrave”? Yup! We feel the exact same way and we have all the evidence that Kilgrave is just like your evil ex boyfriend who just won’t let somebody prosper in peace!

    When he tried to come between your friendships like…

    And your friends never had anything good to say about your relationship.

    Because he often said things like…

    And had you hit rock bottom so hard.

    That on some days you just wanted to end it all.

    But when you tried to walk away he hit you with reverse psychology.

    But you knew he was the mad one because all his victims had a support group.

    So you gathered all your strength and left.

    And all your friends and family were relieved.

    You were finally free… for two weeks before he returned like..

    And tried to pile the love on thick.

    Then tried to scare away your new bae.

    And all you could think was… #EppMePlix!

    Because he was relentless in trying to get you back.

    Till you started to think maybe you could change him.

    So you told your friend you were thinking of going back.

    And he quickly started to show his true colours again…

    And even his father had to warn you…

    Because really, his plan was simple.

    But he didn’t know you’d finally toughened up.

    Guess who’s in charge now, bruh?

    Because life is really too short to stay with someone who makes you unhappy. Written by Zikoko contributor, Adebola Rayo.
