    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..

  • 10 Reasons To Marry An Oyinbo Person

    10 Reasons To Marry An Oyinbo Person
    Getting married to someone from another race is a beautiful thing. Here are a few reasons why you should definitely get married to an “oyinbo” person.

    1. Accent

    Foreign accents sound so beautiful. Of course who does not want to have to hear a foreign accent every day and every evening when their partner is back from work or in bed.

    2. Romance

    We’ve heard that people from other parts of the world are more romantic partners. Well ladies you sure want those flowers and gifts. Guys, you also want those surprise PlayStation consoles and games. Go for it!

    3. Adventure

    Getting married to someone from a different country will give you an opportunity to explore another country as well as experience a culture different from yours. They say they love to explore new places.

    4. True love

    Most times when people get married from different backgrounds it is most likely real love for each other regardless of what anyone says. Chances are you guys will  be together forever.

    5. Fancy wedding

    We cannot overemphasize this. It is not every time that an oyinbo and a Nigerian get married. Your wedding will be the talk of the town. It will cause traffic. For this sole reason you should be convinced.

    6. Bellanaija/Instagram wedding accounts coverage

    Your wedding is not on the famous Instagram accounts? You are doing something wrong. Definitely getting married to a foreign person will attract attention, just make sure your photographer is amazing.

    7. Different currencies at the wedding

    Aha. You thought we will skip this. No. For sure the wedding reception will be financially standard with different currencies being sprayed the guests. In this economic crunch period… Are you convinced yet?

    8. People will use your wedding photos as “goals”

    We sure do all want to be role models, being tagged as “goals” is like an advanced level of being a role model. People will use you as a prayer point. Come on!

    9. Mixed children

    Think about it, your kids will be mixed. And social media is obsessed with mixed babies. They can do a photo shoot when they are six months. Imagine the endorsement requests.

    10. Dual citizenship

    You see the way foreigners passport colors are set up. They sure are not green. Getting married will make you a citizen of whatever country they are from. This reason can stand up to any rebuttal. Make sure it is done for love. Any other reason  makes it illegal. Disclaimer: This post is written in jest of the social media obsession with the mixed race life. Don’t take this too seriously. Or use it as your guide in choosing your spouse ?
  • How To Be A Successful Side Boyfriend

    How To Be A Successful Side Boyfriend
    Statistics show that there are more women than men; and we know sharing is caring. Being a side-boyfriend can be one of the hardest and easiest jobs, depending on a lot of factors. If you have been failing or want to be better at it, this is the list for you.

    1. First you have to know your position.

    As a side boyfriend, set and respect your “boundaries”. No more no less. This is really important.

    2. You have to be super caring.

    Women love guys that are caring when their boyfriends are not doing their job.

    3. You have to be this guy.

    Because you will need to make her laugh when her boyfriend makes her sad.

    4. No matter how boring her day was…

    Always be ready to listen or pretend to listen.

    5. Get rid of emotions.

    Remind yourself, you are not the boyfriend. Think with your head always.

    6. In case you are a very emotional person, you will need this.

    Because these feelings like to creep in at unwanted or unnoticed times.

    7. You have to step up your acting skills.

    Just in case something goes wrong that was not planned for.

    8. And when her relationship begins to have problems…

    You have to be Dr. Phil and give her the best advice so she stays in the relationship.

    9. And when the relationship is going too good and she forgets you.

    Never forget. Just hold on.

    10. You have to own one of these.

    We don’t make the rules, but rumor has it that every side boyfriend has one of them.

    11. You must always have one of these on standby.

    For when she wants some in-house entertainment and distraction from her boyfriend.

    12. But never forget.

    Always stay and play safe.
