Miss NYSC 2017 (Rivers State)

 Wow, NYSC @50 just brought back loads of fun memories that I'm more than excited to share.

Hey there it's been a while I posted here, forgive my inconsistency, I never stopped writing I just haven't had the guts to share my thoughts on here. I promise to do better henceforth.


Moving on, so during my NYSC days I was nominated by my platoon(four), to represent my platoon for Miss NYSC Rivers State (2017), I was really honored amongst many other girls in my platoon plus I thought participating in Miss NYSC would enable me get posted to the city of portharcourt (Rivers State) but that's story for another blog.


During the days and weeks of preparation I could have sworn I'd already won the pageant and every other thing was formality, I got a lot of compliments from my platoon, other platoons, infact I was popular before the D-Day; the other girls contesting some saw me as a threat and three others became friends with me.


Fast forward to the night of the event, our first appearance my village people came through and humbled me(lol), your girl walked in to the stage and walked right past the other contestants instead of posing and wait to introduce myself I walked out of stage.


It was a very embarrassing and humbling experience for me, because during the whole time of rehearsing and all and based on the fact that I had modeling experience abroad (Ghana), I had everything it takes to win but I got too carried away and messed it up.


Moral of the story, Stay Humble.

You can imagine the remaining few days of camp for me; although I didn't let it get to me, I laughed about it and just enjoyed the remaining days of camp.

Our Potty Training Story

Our Potty Training Story As at the time I'm writing this blog my baby 'Vida' is two years old and she's potty trained. Initially she got potty trained at about 21 to 22months old officially even though before then she'd indicate when she needed to use her potty but i choose to say 22months old because she decided independently on her own to stop wearing diapers, whenever I wore her diapers she'd remove it and that's when I came to the conclusion that we were potty trained! So initially I introduced potty to my daughter quite early, I think somewhere around 8-9 months; reasons because the bath my mum gifted us came with a potty and also she (my mum) engineered the idea of how nice it'd be if I started potty training early. So I do as told even though I wasn't doing it consistently, reason because it was difficult to tell when she needed to pee or poo, it just happens plus I wasn't always into it, so it was off and on for me. Fast forward to when s...

Fifteen Things I Would Teach My Daughter

Motherhood is overwhelming . I mean all what I think about is ensuring a sustainable and bright future for my baby girl. For me having a baby girl is like recreating the mini version of yourself and doing anything possible to avert her from making the same mistakes you made and encouraging her to do things you wished you'd have done but was too scared to do. Now that's my truth, I can't say for any other person. Fact is I can't manipulate my daughter's future neither is it right to dictate her life, but here are things I'd love to teach her.  Your Gender Doesn't Define What You Should Do,  Become or Love:  Growing up as a young girl society made me believe some certain things are meant for the male and also for the female; from career choices to hobbies, even as far as to politics, TV shows or entertainment etc.Now this is not a sexist blog but I'd love for my baby girl to know that the things she loves and is passionate about isn't and shouldn...

Getting Hitched

Been Married for Three months traditionally and two months legally and in the sight of God. I tend to see and listen to many single ladies drowl and gush on the thought of getting Married. Now don't get me wrong there's absolutely nothing wrong with that if only it's for the right reasons and with a proper understanding of the word "Marriage". During school days i was opportuned to have several amazing friends who'd gush and fantasies on their dream wedding mostly when they go online and check out videos and stories on some of the top Nigerian weddings via Instagram. Back then for me I wasn't really all blown away by the thought of having a fabulous wedding and what not; I was rather more of a  " I am happy and that's all that counts".  I had my boyfriend then back in school and we were really happy but never for once did I allow the thought of marriage sink in because quote me wrong but I felt marriage would ruin everythin...
