Broke or poor... being broke and not looking it.

This particular article sprung from the so many personal scenarios I've been in while existing on this earth as a fine girl.        What Does It Actually Mean To Be Broke ? I've come to learn that being broke doesn't necessarily mean poverty, but an absence of money which may be momentary or recurring. You use the phrase ‘I'm broke’ most of the time. Why don't you say ‘I'm poor’ instead? Now this may or may not be a fact so feel free to chirp in your corrections. Now to the scenarios (the major inspiration for this post)...  Fine girl fine girl, looking expensive from head to toe. M ore than once, I've had to stop pricing to save myself harassments from angry sellers who feel I'm just stingy and have money I'm hiding somewhere. Other times I've had to look forward and keep going cos I heard prices I knew deep down I couldn't afford and also the intensity of the catcalling from sellers and not wanting to put myself in embarrassing...

What's the direction of your life? What big or small decisions have you made?

I've never been one to make quick decisions. Growing up, I never thought much about being an adult. I enjoyed where I was and how people around me took charge of my life and took care of me completely. My ‘inability’ to make quick decisions; big or small never occurred to me until some few years back. That is to say, I actually didn't think it was a problem. I saw this photo 👆 and it brought back the thought of a really significant and life-changing decision I made or didn't make. You'll find out ...    Right to choosing what to eat or drink, what to wear, whether to go out or not, whether I want/ed to change seats or not, I never really make an instant choice and stick to it. The only thing I have always been sure of is having ribbons on my hair no matter the hairstyle. Lol Now to the main purpose of this article.     L eaving secondary school was one of my sweetest experiences. I always wanted to be big enough to be in the university and wear fancy cl...

From dust to glitter! Women's Day 2022!

Inspired by all the wonderful women around me beginning from my mother.  It's been a rough cycle of years for us women. From being little girls; learning to take up roles of ‘assisting’ only and keeping our mouths shut ‘ girls don't shout like that’. Growing up in communities already deeply run by notions such as, ‘a woman cannot occupy spaces that require all her time because she has to make a home and care for her babies’. N ewly inspired by the awakening happening around the world. Women lending voices of hope, women leading packs, standing for what is right and never relenting.  Furthermore, inspired by my sisters, by the love we share and the beliefs we've grown to adopt. Also, by our father - Isaac Naze never allowing us suffer, never belittling our voices and always celebrating our wins with everything he has, and all the other men out there who truly love and support us. It's a new dawn for women. We're moving further and leaving the ...

APPRECIATION POST: Award-winning blogger (university level)

  D ear friends ,  this post is long overdue, I'm sorry.  We did this together. Yes, you and I. You who's always clicking my links, leaving comments, and giving private encouragements. I'll never have believed that I'll be doing a post about an award. Yes, I'm an extra person. I celebrate 2k alerts like I've won the lottery, my voice is extra high on the phone and in gatherings with people I know. Though I've never been shy on the outside but taking photos during events, knowing that people are staring and wondering what I'm doing is not an easy task. I've only kept on because everytime I post a new link, the views are higher than the previous ones. Thank you! Thank you to my mummy, my greatest support; always ready to hear how tired I am from my day. Though she never actually told me to begin a blog, her constant ‘ start something Sewuese, no matter how small’ led me to this place. To my daddy, for all the emergency data subscriptions, airtime and c...

INDEPENDENCE: Birthday boy didn't give out goodies.

   I intended to publish this yesterday, the 1st of October, but I guess Nigeria's NEPA had other plans. The angle I intended to write from has completely changed.      So the ‘birthday boy’ refused to share goodies for his friends. The NEPA light situation yesterday could be likened to a mother inviting neighbors to her house on her son's birthday just to have them watch him eat his goodies and go back with empty hands.  Maybe you had light throughout yesterday, maybe most people did, but isn't 61 years as an independent country enough to have something as basic as general steady power supply to boast of? Let's leave stingy birthday boy alone and talk about his long years as a grown man.  I remember being a child and not knowing the overall situation of things in our dear country. Thinking back, there was a time when things used to be steady and good. My mum used to go to the market at the end of the month and come home with a carton or cartons filled...
