How we don’t appreciate things till there gone.When I was a teen which was some time ago sadly lol.My post-box would be bombarded with leaflets of summer university.Which outsiders if you don’t know is a summer program for 13-18 where you can do journalism, acting ,music production and arts, cooking basically a creative  programme.I heard […]

Saving lives taking lives sad contradiction but Jennifer Hyatte payed the price with her freedomBeing from a broken home due to her dad’s absence she compensated through sexual encounters with many men and married several times.Physical intimacy shouldn’t be mistaken for true love and she desperately was on a collision course trying to find her

Tiffany Stratton im proud she was victorious against Charlotte FlairShe’s a beast of an athlete but Tiffany held her own in  her first Wrestlemania.All at tender age of 25 virtually a baby in wrestling.I loved her barbie inspired entrance and I  hope the rumours are true that she would want a Hollywood career later on.Personally

CM Punk made his entrance to his first Wrestlemania  in almost a decade to a live version of his entrance music ‘Cult Of Personality’.All I can say the prodigal son has arrived and wow back with a bang.I know the outcome of the  match wasn’t in his favour due to that sly Paul Heyman.But he

Michael Thoma is a person I want to dedicate this post to.He was a actor on Tv show ‘Fame’ and was told he had cancer and decided to bow out of the show where he played a  teacher.To explain his departure   the producers arranged for the school to have budget cuts  storyline and his character 

Very sad to hear of Pope Francis death  on Easter Monday what a sad irony.What I’m touched is you don’t have to be  a catholic to mourn the great man who was The Pope he was a  man of the people who dedicated his life to service and chose to live and die by his

What is happening in London. 2 men get in a collision then the other is on hot pursuit the victim barricades himself in a  Willesden restaurant and then he still kicks his way in and stabs him and chillingly films halfway through the incident. And still no arrests is this the new norm and what

Zach Galifianakis Is one of the most underrated comedians out there. I totally dig him he truly is just born to make you laugh. Many  people know him from the hangover but what made me get to know him was his brief appearance on two and a half men and I’ve watched most of his

Why did they cancel ‘Ambitions’. The 2019 show  was the brainchild of Oprah Network. It was based on a group of black professionals navigating the world of sleazy politics and social hierarchy. Kind of a mix  of ‘The Good Wife’ and ‘The Sopranos’. It had the makings of a good drama it had stars like

Leading melanoma pathologist Professor Richard Scolyer has confirmed his cancer has returned and may only have months or weeks to live.I have to admit it I was afraid to watch his interview current affair, as its not easy to watch a dying person, but I was glad I did .When you hear the word cancer

Stonebridge Park Station was voted one of the worst and dullest station in London by a superfan that went to all London underground stations who ranked them from best to worst.I am ashamed to say I agree.When you go east south central it’s the elite of stations.Lifts ,shops,whs smith catch up on your sun newspaper

I’m so relieved that Triple H  has been inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame. I like many others think its long overdue. He is a living legend and contributed to many peoples fave moments of modern wrestling. He gave his sweat blood to WWE and had a fairy-tale ending marrying Stephanie Mcmahon and now

Adejoké Bakare is the modern woman who is the the proud  founder and Head Chef of Chishuru, a modern West African restaurant in London’s Fitzrovia. Celebrated for her brave  modern  innovative flavours, She made history last year being the first woman in Britain to earn a Michelin star second worldwide. For anyone who doesn’t know its

If a woman can find  a prince like this you would never leave your castle.Daniel Forrester, 47, from Chelmsford  is to embark on  a 5,000 miles from Romford to Ghana and his  in honour of his late partner Caroline Sarpong who died of cancer.They were together for nearly two years and engaged for 11 months

US Sen Cory Booker just made history for longest senate speech for 25 hours. Can you believe that no loo break no lunch break that is a miracle. I respect him and his love for the USA. He deserves to be a record holder he always goes way beyond for his life in public service.

I truly am happy that Lana Del Rey is coming to my neck of the woods London this year.She is one of my favourite artists and I always to me think she’s  a underappreciate gem she never got the kudos for her popstar creativity.Take for example she embodies old hollywood glamour while still being laid

There’s a video surfacing online of a 81 year old woman waitressing a local restaurant in Pennsylvania.It’s shocking the internet as a woman customer also couldn’t stand to  see this frail woman having to clean tables just to make a buck she filmed it for the world to see ,as it transpired she is too poor

Truly sends shiver down my spine the case of Joyce Vincent who lay dead in her council flat for  more than 3 years and no-one batted an eyelid it was when she was in rent arrears her body was finally discovered with chillingly the tv still on and heating on.It happened the grim discovery 25th

Wow end of an era Justin Trudeau  has finally left being  PM of Canada after more than  a decade.He had ups and downs in his whirlwind tenure due to circumstances beyond his control, but after watching his last speech he should hold his head up with pride and ,also be  proud of his 16 yea

I’m truly sad about Michelle Trachtenberg’s death .She was literally part of my childhood in most adverts and tv shows Gossip girl Buffy The Vampire Slayer.But I always wondered why she never truly peaked despite being a fixture on the tv screens.As they say not everyone can be a leading lady.I was shocked to know

I’m so relieved that Kash Patel has been made FBI director all at the ripe young age of 44.He was described as a cheerleader for Pres Trump, but I think he was one of  the few ethnic minority officials in US that could see beyond the headlines the clear vision President Trump had for the

Nightbirde’s AGT audition truly is still a classic and makes you always put things into perspective no matter how many times you watch it.I truly wouldn’t know she had cancer until she said it,she  radiated positive vibes and it was hard not to fall in love with her as she even broke usually stone faced

I don’t know why towns in England are trying to be mini versions of Las Vegas  with extra tackiness thrown in.Residents in some parts of London are worried about their once idyllic streets being  polluted by rundown bingo halls, betting shops as they are opening in alarming rates.I find it ironic  in times of a

I’m so thrilled that Michelle McCool got inducted into the WWE hall of fame it was long overdue.She was one of those female wrestlers that truly brought women wrestling to the modern era and proved the girls could hang with the boys.And also was the first teacher to be a woman champion .I always wondered

I’m happy Michael J Fox received the medal of honour by former Pres Biden.It’s about time he’s a living legend and I’m not talking about his spell binding performances in Spin City and Back to The Future the film series that got me to believe will one day have a time machine maybe not in

I’m so proud Donald Trump is back in the office.I was honoured to be invited to a Republican party in honour of this historic inauguration,and all the other invitations I appreciate.I believe President Trump will be determined to bring effective change that will have impact in everyday american lives.Why I’m personally drawn to Pres Trump

Why is black deaths on London street being side-lined around other news stories currently out now.I know the UK news stories out now are pretty bleak, but why not equal devotion to young black youths being killed on a bus and in London streets,but the key word is black.If it was any other race victims

Always wonder why Clare Maguire never had the same level of success of Adele.She had the looks the voice the poise and her vintage inspired hairdos were always on point.I remember being in my parent’s car and when driving hearing ‘last dance’ on the radio it truly was mesmerizing and to me she inspired the

Its  a travesty that Diane Abbott wasn’t on  the new year honours list.Love her or hate her she is a icon in British politics and was the first Black MP in Parliament and due to her historical win it was a symbol of hope in a prior elitist commons.Her win  birthed many BAME political careers

I am deeply saddened to hear  Cllr Anton Georgiou has quit being a  Brent councillor with immediate effect essentially triggering a by-election.I never had the privilege to meet him as we didn’t serve  during the same time in the council, but all I hear about him are praises and praises and the response to his

I as a fellow corrie fan were sad to hear Helen Worth resigned from her character as Gail Platt .I don’t know if I can personally spend 50 years in the same job, but you must  be at ease and love what your doing to stay on that long. Her exit was fitting as it

Truly love Jason Aldean’s cover of Luke Bryan’s classic ‘someone calling you baby’.I don’t know as a artist how I would feel covering someone’s song to a live audience right in front of them but Jason knocked it out of the park ,and added more soul to the track to a captivated audience.I respect anyone

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-P-JBOxF6Qo What I pray for entering the new year no more war peace on all sides  I just find it terrible we are inhabitants in this great planet and some people are just destroying it.There are no winners in war just physical and mental damage  that are usually always beyond repair. Good Economy  people deserve

Its so refreshing to see a show of black women that doesn’t have wigs off  slanging matches in bar.Don’t get me wrong its entertaining viewing and i deffo like to have my fix from time to time  of trash tv ,but I like to see a show like  ”Married To Medicine”of well established african-american women

I remember the good old days of getting a  plum fish and chips with drippings of salt and burger sauce , and if I’m feeling naughty a minced beef onion pie in a newspaper as god intended.Wow have times changed it feels like you have to take out a mortgage to enjoy a chippy dinner.Would

I hate the hypocrisy a day before Christmas a Jamaican restaurant I often frequent with family and friends did a kind gesture.They handed out free portion of banana cake and  tropical juices and celebration chocolates to all devoted customers.I wont lie most people overfilled their pockets with the heavenly slices of the cake ,but I

Politicians with a conscience is not something that goes together to most people, but trust me there are few good ones in the rotten eggs.Take Labour Cllr Steve Edwards who sits on Dudley Council in the West Midlands . He is in Labour Party but has openly criticized the PM  by allegedly saying he tricked

Anytime you watch housing crisis programmes you experience a range of feelings anger despair.But the one that takes the biscuits is ‘How To Get a Council House’.It truly leaves me screaming at the TV set.No I’m not a raging lunatic.I’m appalled at the standards of conducts in councils throughout the UK especially London.The way they

Karen Silkwood death truly will always be clouded by mystery as it’s so bizarre and tragic.A young scientist and activist who was on her way to talk to a journalist about the unlawful practices in a nuclear plant conveniently died in a car crash and when she died the bombshell truth she had to unload

It truly is sad a area I use to represent is 3rd to last in  most depressing list of places to live. But sadly not shocking as many say standards in Brent have dipped over the years and show no sign of improving. What I  feel personally makes an area depressing  is bad housing and

What  a  sad way to end the year the death of a american legend Pres Jimmy Carter who died at 100 years old. The son of cotton farmers and a former navy man displayed such fortitude and strength to reach the milestone this year. What I will remember of him  is he proved you don’t 

Taylor Swift and Celine Dion mastered the art of singing their thoughts and ending up having masterpieces  for albums.Others are taking up some of the practice.It’s just sad many go undiscovered.I came across Sophia Scott music channel and I can confirm the girl has serious chops.Her voice reminds me of Carrie Underwood.I love the song

All parents watch this tv drama Grange hill compilation it will give you insight into the silent epidemic affecting   school kids worldwide ‘bullying’.A lot of youths and  are suffering like the victims in this tv drama.Schools I find are not still adequately tackling bullying crisis, and its resulting in the sever mental health crisis and

Bonnie Blue  made headlines for wanting to  sleep with barely legal 18 years olds and film the encounters online.She truly is a controversial figure.But not everything is as it seems since I researched her interview on This Morning   I can say she speaks the queens english, well presented and has gift of the gab she

Sadly no surprise another surprise today  another school shooting in America. It happened this Monday morning in a  Christian school at Wisconsin. At time of writing this post we don’t know the shooter or motive but know currently 3 are dead. When is enough is enough and all lawmakers will form a coalition  in  the US

I hope with all the closures in the high street the beloved salon ain’t affected.Salons don’t get the respect they deserve they’ve saved me time and time from being dissed by the hairgods since childhood.But I’ve still had my casualty like the uneven fringe with a bad perm but again it’s trial and error.I never

I think by now you know I’m a country music fan and I was a fan of the late Mindy Mccready.Mindy Mccready as I wrote before had one of the best voices out that time.But she couldn’t get her demons in check and her career suffered.But the thing  I  can’t get my head around her

I don’t know how times have descended so low or people’s morals haveThere’s actual praise for Luigi Mangione  slaughtering heath insurance executive Brian Thompson like a wild animal in broad daylight.I always say two wrongs don’t make a right i know some  insurance companies  have some dubious organisations as they  are allegedly cheating  thousands of pay-outs

Lainey Wilson. To me is one the most underrated singers currently out now. She truly has one of the most raspy soul voices in modern music ,but hasn’t  to me seen to get the accolades she deserves. I feel she can do it all duets ,country,rock and soul. I love her style  too she has

I’ll say it until my tonsils run out Coleen Rooney should have won I’m A Celeb she slayed it in the jungle and proved you can’t take the Liverpool out of the girl,as real as they come.She was like mother hen in the jungle what got me her chosen last meal she opted for spag

What has amazed me the  British shopping centres are now having plastic surgery dens in especially my local one. I was shocked to see Botox centre by  the dessert aisle. I  truly wasn’t tempted to go in but was amazed the ages of people that were going in  they were fairly young like me and

There’s some people that you have never met but you feel like you’ve know them a lifetime.Terry Madeley is one of them for me he truly feels like someone  that I would have been bezzie mates with  and enjoy hot  cuppa mornings with java cakes , but sadly fate being AIDS made our paths never

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rn9nEEUhB0 Shooting in Harlesden very sad to hear.I was at home when i got a message from a resident about  the shooting and how people can’t go back to sleep due to heavy police presence.I checked online and it was true a shooting in gifford road at around 9pm  this Saturday  and one woman tragically

Where’s your Christmas spirit.I went to Tesco and the young woman serving me was one of the best cashiers I ever met.She was battling a cold while still dealing with all customers with a smile.When it was my turn to scan products.She just started talking to me and it was as if  I found my

I’m very saddened to  hear one of my role models  Kanya King is battling stage 4 bowel cancer. She truly is a trail blazer for  the BAME community in Britain she was born to a Irish mother and Ghanaian father  near my neck of the woods Kilburn. She had a a baby at 16 but

Food poverty truly is striking everywhere even in Nigerian restaurants. I went to a Nigerian restaurant in central recently. A woman with 2 children ordered for 1  small  soup and starch  for all them to share and what got me no meat inside. I truly was shocked the waitress knew by her silence that due

The story that truly I  found disturbing is allegedly  Kemi Badenoch snubbed the congratulations from head of Nigerian diaspora Abike Dabiri-Erewa  for being the first black leader in a English major political party.I truly was wishing it was fake news.I  remember when I won my council elections the love from Nigerians all over the world

.The meaning of Thanksgiving is not just overloading on turkey and comparing who made the best sweet potato pie.It’s also about the giving, and I truly get tingles hearing stories of kind hearted people who selflessly open their homes to people who are lonely and would have just celebrated at home with a meal for

What is going on in London.I was in tube this Friday and then had to get off as there was a incident  and the London Underground staff were virtually useless one african man worker was the only efficient worker, but I felt sorry for the poor guy he was the most sympathetic staff even when

Walter Scott was a handsome man who definitely must have had a eye for the ladies and was part and fronted the band  bob kuban and the in man and they reached their peak in the 60s.The one song that catapulted them  to fame was the look out for cheater which is catchy.But as they

Sometimes it’s hard to know what party these days to trust.They say few people can get to the top and stay humble and appreciate the people that aided that journey.People in Britain truly feel used and deceived and that sentiment is expressed in a national petition that is demanding another general election and has gathered

I truly feel blessed reading the life of Aileen Wuornos it really gives a expression some where cursed from the start and simply never  stood a chance. Her dad was a convicted child molester who killed himself in prison and her mum abandoned her and  her brother and she was raised by  her allegedly abusive

I’m  very saddened to hear Liam Payne has died.Anyone under 30 years old knows  secretly the One Direction era was  the same intensity as the Beatles era.Love there music or hate there  music you cant deny they had work ethic and gave  the everyday person hope that you  can make your  dreams come true from

What  ever you say about President Trump you can’t  deny he has has charisma that rivals some of the best boxers out there.That’s why  the political arena has been admittedly dull without him even though  he hasn’t stepped in the ring . The audience are still chanting with hysteria.What candidate has that  affect anywhere.The reason

Happy 64th Nigerian Independence Day. I’m so proud of being a Nigerian and and know  a lot of people in diaspora are too. Why do you think I love my homeland. Well Nigerians one thing about us unlike UK even if were defeated or going through a hard time we always smile and take the

Again another story that rises my hope in humanity but is still equally tragic.Lincer Lopez was  excited to be baptized from reports he couldn’t sleep because of the day.But when their was joy sorrow sadly followed after being baptized he saw a girl drowning and attempted to help her.When he did he sadly died as

I was on a train with my mum this past Thursday   on  our  to another part of London to see a friend and get a bite to eat.When I was getting my usual fix of Metro gossip.A woman  with a pram let out a death defying scream that still echoes in my sleep.She shouted ‘Help

Simone Biles  a thing of beauty.I tuned into the Olympics and my fave section is the gymnastics section.And of course USA would dominate.I was happy that she proved age is just a number as there was skepticism would she still be good, as she was in her peak and watching her aerials and back hand

I’m so sad to hear the legendary singer Onyeka Onwenu passed away at 72.I know her death is being felt worldwide she was a icon she trailblazed nigerian music and was a activist who wasn’t afraid to speak up for those who can’t speak up for themselves.And her music was a testament to that fact.My

Wow just after writing an article why is politics getting so nasty it’s crazy to wake up to news that Former President Trump escaped an attempted assassination. I hope he and his family continue to stay safe as this truly is disturbing especially the age of the gunman. Who can be so young and full

I am saddened to hear Richard Simmons has just passed away. For those of you living on mars. Richard Simmons was a fitness instructor or icon to me during the 80s  he opened his own fitness studio The Anatomy Asylum before it was rebranded to Slimmons, in Los Angeles. He  made exercising fun  which isn’t a

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdCkMljDXEw So happy he won his case. I always prayed it would have a happy outcome. A Ghanaian man Nelson Shardey who came to study accountancy in England 1977 then stayed and never left he  built a life with family bought a house and has been a resident since 50 years. Then in sad turn of

Unlike some  proclaimed  non-racist organisations in Britain that refuse to give opportunities to young black adults. It’s good to see Glastonbury hasn’t followed  that bad example. The line-up for this year’s festival was one of the most diverse ever. And fun fact the Nigerian  entertainers were a huge part of the line-up and slayed it.

They say you can find love in unexpected places. This truly is one of those cases. A woman being trapped in a elevator and then falling in love with the first responder. I just wonder did they date are they married. I want details. Both  are accomplished individuals in their respected fields . Who look

British politics  truly is getting nasty. I’m really disheartened about the cruel mockery that former PM Rishi Sunak is still being subjected to despite his devastating and humbling loss. Where’s the ‘don’t kick someone when their  already down’. And what I find sad is that the people mocking him are fellow ethnics from different parties.

I’m so proud of the man Barron Trump has grown into. Literally have you seen the size of him he definitely could be cast in a superhero movie without auditioning. Why I applaud him despite his family’s  vast wealth he still is willing to pursue his education and struggle and build a career for himself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EKvu-Ic-TA I truly hope Jovan Owusu-Nepaul isn’t a one hit wonder, and that he will only be remembered for being the  most stylish British  political candidate ever. This dashing young man campaigned like a champion in the seat of Clacton but he ultimately lost. But I hope that this isn’t a end for his potential illustrious

Another thing that’s bugging me is this British government you hear them rehiring key figures in the Blair and Brown government. All a particular race. But you  wonder where is the former MP Chuka Umunna. A distinguished black-British politician who was , Shadow Business Secretary, Shadow Minister for Small Business and Enterprise. So he has the skills

Why is it that council estates are left to rot even when some can be fixed with a lick of paint, and there is no sense of community everyone’s in the house  no interaction.Why is a Italian café is fit for the city but not worth of being in areas like a NW London estate.It

I too made the mistake of misusing my vote for a top politician, and after they won. I got discarded like a used tissue. I remember the cheeky chancer got their aide to phone me and ask me to officially back  them which i did then after  no thanks. So if I’m good for a

My heart goes out  to the German MP Karamba Diaby is stepping down from his seat due to racist abuse he’s encountered since entering the political scene in 2013. The Senegalese-born politician politician has been subjected to abuse which is  a thing of nightmares from arson to his office and threatening letters and calls. I

All I can say is we the public have a short memory.There’s so much praised lavished on the great   Bukayo Saka for overcoming the dreaded penalty in yesterday’s Euro Semi-final qualifier.But this same Saka in another previous match missed a penalty along with other black players like Marcus Rashford, and was subjected to so

To me this man Teddy Swims is criminally underrated. He has so  much potential to be the next Al Green. When I came across this   duet cover  for his song ‘Lose Control’. What’s not to love it has one of the best veteran  vocalist out there  the lovely Kelly Clarkson and he holds his own

Mitt Romney is one of my favourite politicians ever.Even though he contested against my hero Barack Obama I still admire him due to his sense of class and sincerity.He is one of the few politicians currently out there that can vote their conscience no hidden agenda,  even when going against his party’s rules.To me it

Being a carer it takes a lot out of you and at times we take care of the person but don’t have anyone to take care of us.But the royal family have rallied around Prince William ,and his adorable children who I know are his pillar of strength.Not enough is emphasized on the magnitude of

A man that looked like his body was created by NASA ,and those eyes were just smouldering and can lure you in.I ‘m doing my best miss marple impression and trying to piece together his life, but I think I’m on the verge of surrendering my badge.Sterling saint jacques birth date is even clouded in

Wow we have weathered the storm and there is now a sense of calmness which the country so desperately needs.What ever gripe people have with the current new government,I think the country’s voice was finally heard and so the will of the people prevailed.I think when your seen as out of touch and your party

I always say listen to your parents when they voice concerns especially about people maybe if the beautiful late star Selena Quintanilla did she would have been with us today.Selena was a young tejano  star who rose  from obscurity due to her energetic performances and determination to take her family away from  poverty.Due to her

Money can’t buy happiness but at least it can buy you a place to live .For people who are living on a  different planet due to housing crisis there is rising rent ruthless private landlords and lack of  social housing being built to meet the needs of the overcrowded population especially in cities like London

I truly hope this is a joke that a political party wants to withhold people’s benefits to force them to work.If so that is borderline cruel.I know there’s a lot of people abusing the benefit  system especially since the pandemic ,but this is not the way to solve the crisis.By targeting people that are genuinely

Children could be are best teachers as demonstrated in this story about ,a  elderly man on the verge of suicide since his wife death going to a supermarket and the rest is history. A young innocent girl out from nowhere demanded a hug from the elderly stranger and after that a friendship was born. I

Saturday Night Live will always have a special place in my heart,when me and the family use to get together in our London house we will watch the skits . And not the current ones I mean the classic tapings the ones with  legends like Dan Aykroyd  John Belushi and the one and only Gilda Radner. She

I want to dedicate this post to Ms Jacky Oh.She was a mum entrepreneur who died around last year after complications of cosmetic surgery.The sad irony I don’t think she needed the work she always radiated positivity in her YouTube videos and had serious swagger as a mum youtuber.She created a massive online following, and

To me it should be a crime a man so beautiful and equally talented  would have to be a server just to pay bills. That’s what former ”General Hospital” star Johnny Wactor had to do,and its a common practice for most  struggling or upcoming actors. But still Johnny did it with a smile on his

Truly hope Taylor Swift gets a rest. I’m a  fan ,but I don’t like how all the pressure that is placed  is on her to perform record number level of concerts around the world. She does nearly 3-4 hour shows and in heels mostly. I don’t think she should be working to this level at

I have always been a fan of Kendra Wilkinson since here days in the ”Playboy Mansion.She was definetly more than meets the eye.She could throw down on a basketball court if you don’t believe take a look at her jump shots ,and then could  rock a  bikini like no-ones business, and boy did she have

Never Lose HopeI always say the world is a small place and always treat people kindly, as you never know when or how your paths will cross.This definitely applies in this case .The judge  Juan Merchan presiding in Trumps case and ultimately has the ultimate power to decide his fate in his upcoming sentencing was

I’m so happy the  Duke Of Westminster Hugh Grosvenor has tied the knot.I can say from my personal experience he is a genuinely nice guy who is a credit to his parents.Why I have fond memories of the  Grosvenor family.I use to always do my celebrations with family and friend in their  hotel,and the staff

I too like the many of legion of corrie fans is shocked and gutted that legendary actress Helen Worth has decided to leave the famous cobbles after a nearly 50 year career.Blimey I don’t think I could stick at a job that long.I know some marriages that don’t even last that long.Her character Gail Platt

I was so happy to come across this story about 3 triplets who are obsessed with their garbageman.What makes the story special is the children are white and the garbage man is African-American.They were sad when his route changed so didn’t get to see him ,so the council arranged for him to stop by their

This story nearly left me in bucket of tears.A school bus driver developed a friendship with a ill girl.And it’s a friendship that bridges race and age relations and proves true love does  conquers all.What gets me is the girl’s infectious smile and her willingness to embrace life despite being dealt such  a cruel hand.Her

Hope Melton Case is a case I hope never happens again I watched ‘See No Evil Shadow Of Hope’.I admittedly couldn’t sleep that night in time that’s  how bad it was.A 30 year old  married school teacher spent Christmas with her  family then decided to drive and visit her grandma but ,as she was 15

What a man I again stress what you read doesn’t mean it will play out like that in real life. Take this productive man who decided after formative education to start a akara business down the street in Nigeria, and he  gave valuable employment to young men like himself. I broke out in sweat just

Were always on the impression that court case can be boring but no not these cases.Judges these days have to be prepared for the unexpected ,and I always wonder how everyone got on these cases got on especially the singing woman.And another question why is black tv judges popular in America but in Britain  they

Well Done Bruhat Soma for winning the national spelling bee.It truly was a dramatic showdown but he got the win with his brilliance.What makes me have memories I was a spelling champion in primary school.A quick stroll down memory lane we used to do spelling tests every Friday afternoon.30 words I always was top with

Rugby star Rob Burrow has died ,and it is sad to imagine what his family are going through.But I want to use this space to applaud his selfless wife Lindsey.While on his tough battle of MND he managed to raise money and advocate about the issues of living with motor neurone disease.But I’m happy the

Behind every great man is a great woman.And in President Obama’s case it wasn’t only his lovely wife First Lady Michelle he had.He had the doting  mum Marian Robinson.I truly am saddened to learn of her passing and to me she was a hidden treasure whose value wasn’t always appreciated by the media at time.She

Heiress and Van Van.Where do I start I just watched one of my favourite shows Tamron Hall show.And came across the legendary rapper TI’s adorable daughter   rapping with her mate.I said time flies .I remember when she was born during the days of the TI Family Hustle show, and now she is starting her own

I was so impressed to come across a story about Melania Trump who has a ‘fostering the future’ initiative which provides scholarships and educational opportunities for foster kids. One of the most underprivileged and vulnerable demographics that’s out there. I was miffed  that why isn’t this side of Melania Trump highlighted  more in mainstream media.

Sometimes you  think you know someone’s story ,and then later  you find hidden chapters. That to me is  what then makes good reading. And even though its an old archive, I was so happy to see  the legendary Alicia Keys  be candid about her struggles ,and realise she too had the same disease  like me

I remember attending my colleague  Cllr Sara’s BBQ party in her garden right after a long day of canvassing way before the pandemic. Me and Natasha  sat in her massive garden and were filling up on her jerk bbq and some  proper beef burgers(I always wondered how she glamorously hosted a packed party and executed

What I find sad about  celeb culture. When a celebrity has a meltdown they  get forgotten about what made them originally hot in the first place. That sentiment definitely applies to Mindy Mccready She was a bubbly young blonde who burst on the  music scene during the 90s and had some success with tracks like

Wow where was I living. I cant believe I’ve just came  across this story that one of the first black councillors in UK  has just had his death been recognised last year after dying in 2003. Alderman Egbert Carless became the first Black councillor in Birmingham in 1979 and served nearly 20 years as a

I always like to have a song that will put me in the summer mood especially while I go with my mates to our annual beach vacation this  coming summer. There’s some songs no matter how old  you enjoy playing on that long drive and this Dustin Lynch ”sun dont go down on that” definitely

I always say the world is a small place you never know who you can bump into. Cora Jade who is a wrestler was  just like me a big fan of CM Punk and met him in a wrestling autograph signing, when she was young. And with pure determination used that as incentive to train

 I was so impressed to come across   a cool fact  about a political icon the late Senator John McCain.I fairly have knowledge of him as I’ve studied his military and political record ,and was among the many people globally that mourned  his death from  brain cancer.I remember watching his funeral service with colleagues and family

Doesn’t it sound like an old Bob Marley track,but it’s so true especially  in this case. As I say countless of times love is colourless  we society just complicate things with unjust hatred. The wedding of a Pakistani and Yoruba woman will hopefully melt your hearts and show   inter-marriage ain’t a scary thing and should

I’m a fan of the late Dame Barbara Windsor, but my appreciation for her has shot up more since I heard she payed of her EastEnders co-star Cheryl Fergison mortgage while she was battling  womb cancer as she was struggling to pay the bills.  It takes a special person to be able to take  burden

Anyone who knows about  wrestling knows it takes literally years before you can achieve a  career talk less of ‘main event status’.Some spend years literally clawing their way to the top, and still never make it, so I was beyond impressed that a  woman called Jade Cargill graduated with a social science degree and became

I always stressed that the US never drop  the ball when it comes to developing talent especially bands.But let’s say everyone can have a off season.I never understood for the life of me why they the producers of the hit show” STAR” didn’t develop this TV band and  make them a real band.They already had

I know its a common practice to say don’t break a leg in theatre .But why are so many  people truly ready to literally not figuratively do  that to Francesca Amewudah-Rivers.I’m shocked at reading the level of abuse that she has received since taking part as the female lead in West End Romeo and Juliet.I

In  a world full of so much hate.I love coming across stories and people like this no matter how old it is ,as I tirelessly stress love has no colour, and sometimes children can be the best teachers.Children are innocent they don’t know hate  it’s when they get corrupted that’s when society pays heavily for

I’m truly happy that Prince Harry is raising an  important  issue while on his travels  with Meghan in Nigeria. Mental Health. I don’t think that  quality is appreciated about Prince Harry enough  in the media . The ability to relate to all kinds of people and open up in ways most men talk less of

Why doesn’t Eternal truly mean forever, and why doesn’t more music from bands  like this still exist in the music industry. I mean not this modern music were weak vocals have to be compensated with theatrics. I mean  just smooth R&B that really relaxes and speaks to your soul. Eternal  were a British  band full of

This case truly make me sick. I hope his family go through the proper channels and he can get justice. But no  amount of money can compensate another wasted black life. I’m happy incidents  like this is rare in the UK. But always wonder if African-Americans aren’t safe in the street from police harassment ,you

In a time where immigrants are not a favourite flavour  for some people. People should know they can add to a country  in positive ways, and this is  a couple that add flavour to New York. Their  a Ghanaian-Nigerian couple who are building their own American dream through their food truck. And they truly are

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qgClQ2QNHV4https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=alzrS3St2AM I think most people in the world could relate to this especially in Britain with the financial crisis. Only Two and A Half Men could make financial mismanagement comedy gold. Just sad to know the accountant played  by Richard Lewis is dead he truly epitomised dry humour. But with every joke there is truth

Why I have always been a fan of Rhea Ripley is the fact that she is the girl that shouldn’t have made it in male dominated  industry but still defied the odds. She’s Australian  and literally clawed her way through countless  independent companies till she reached the top being WWE. I truly respect any woman

I always wondered could there be another Taylor Swift. A person that  can turn heartbreak  into art. Essentially being one of the best music storytellers in a generation. And I think I’ve found a  new  student of that special craft. Avery Anna is a 20 year old musician, and since I heard this I’m hooked.  I

So sad to see a beautiful black woman with so much hatred for her race and ultimately herself. I truly wish I could hug her  as I’m looking beyond the words. This is a woman that has so much self hate and definitely needs love. I think most people could understand in some aspect in

A beautiful white man who can sing the blues. Perfect remedy for a Friday night. Music that brings all communities together truly is music to my ears. It truly is criminal that he is so underrated.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cRsLikp8ME8

Gia Carangi was one of the first supermodels in the world and wow was she a beauty, but sadly that beauty didn’t spill into her real life frankly she had an ugly existence which eventually consumed her.Gia was discovered at a young age and her career skyrocketed soon after she practically lived on the front

Nigerians are known for the parties and hosting,but they have exceeded all expectations with the way they received the Duke And Duchess of Sussex.It truly is like a homecoming for Meghan who is 43% Nigerian ,and I feel like Nigeria has adopted Prince Harry too. I’m happy they are being smothered with love, as nobody

I truly felt ashamed for Vivek Ramaswamy what position is worth your dignity.A guest you invited on your own show says I agree with your politics, but I could never vote for you because your an Indian.Why didn’t you stick up for yourself and your race.Whether I agree with his politics, as long as your

Patties to me are the perfect answer for a  nagging belly. They  are so underappreciated and don’t get the love it deserves. Personally you cant go wrong with a good beef or chicken one. It’ a universal snack  that can appease most people. Take for example the African community it’s  like a flat meat pie

The Met Gala is the place where you just have to slay it with the fashion if  not you  definitely shouldn’t  expect a invite next year. So the celebrities always embrace the mantra the wackier the better ,but this year theme ‘ Garden of Time ‘just proved the outrageousness was  revved up a  gear . Take

Do you remember when politics drama was acted out on a stage like Sunday live big questions in a mediated and most importantly safe environment.How has times changed that politic disputes has now become like a badly made western tv series where the politicians are the target of the violence and are then begging to

Morally times are tough not just financially.I remember recently I was in a Central London train station platform waiting to go home and after buying some nigerian suya to treat me and my well deserving mum .A young isolate english boy like 5 years old  was screaming out of the top of his lungs begging

I truly found the Aaron Carter documentary insightful and essentially explanatory.Imagine being a young man who essentially is the breadwinner and responsible for grown adults livelihoods.That pressure is enough to make anyone crack talk less a child. I remember the days of getting up for school was a task for me, I couldn’t imagine being

Wow what has London been reduced to when leaving your house  is a  task in itself the real mission is avoid getting stabbed or shot.Now the senseless violence has claimed another innocent victim a child.In fact a  nigerian child named Daniel Anjorin.The killer Marcus Aurelio Arduini Monzo, 36, from Newham cold bloodedly executed him in a

Apparently due to the latest saga of the cost of living crisis it’s been reported that people are now desperate not to be invited to weddings due to their fear of expense.As lets face it going to any wedding your deffo going to spend.You may assume maybe it’s just singletons jealous of being in a  room

Gia Carangi was one of the first supermodels in the world and wow was she a beauty ,but sadly it didn’t spill into her real life.Frankly she had an ugly existence which eventually consumed her.Gia was discovered at a young age and her modelling career soon skyrocketted she practically lived on the front covers during

Nowhere is safe this sentiment definitely applies to this case.Cassie Hansen a 6 year old girl  who went to church with her family and innocently asked to go the toilet, and her mum let her go on her own.And when the mum went to check on her 10 mins later she realised she was missing.Facing

I am so proud to announce a Nigerian has become head of British Vogue.The woman is Chioma Nnadi.And with backing from the legendary Anna Wintour.I feel we should expect big things from this one.I’ve always expressed their is elitism in fashion and the publishing industry.And it tends to be a niche market that it caters

Could you camp in the woods?I don’t think you will once you hear about this case.Doug and Rozina Anderson a young married couple went to the woods in the late 80s in California to camp to celebrate his wife’s birthday.But they couldn’t have imagined that that would be their first mistake.When they were fishing during

Watch if not squeamish.What I appreciate, and is a rare novelty these days celebrities willing to use their platform to help others and change their lives in meaningful ways.Justin Baldoni is one of those individuals he’s moved from the days of Jane The Virgin (man I love that show)To produce and host a  thought-provoking documentary

I was glossing over the news today this morning as I usually do with a juicy cheese sarnie,and I  was proud to read  a young girl named Daisy Blakemore-Creedon, 18, was elected to Peterborough City Council after defeating  the sitting Tory councillor Andy Coles in the Fletton & Woodston ward.I was happy but then admittedly  I 

I truly now believe that the pandemic has  devastated the high streets from my own personal experience. There’s  my local bakery in London that use to be a hangout for my friends before our law lectures in sixth form. When I went  recently the shelves were bare. Even the cheese baguettes that use to be

Not all money is good money and this definitely applies to this story.A kind-hearted US school diner lady  was always tired of seeing poor students in the cafeteria eat just stale sandwiches,  and beg for more food as their stomachs aren’t satisfied.Who would be full with a lunch like that .Then she started sneaking them

The story that I think will melt your hearts is a 82 year old man who checked on  his  new neighbours moving in ,and then became lifelong friends. Well I bet your thinking what makes this story special .The old man is white and the family are African American.A simple act of curiosity sparked a

I’ve  always been a  realist in life, and always feel its right to state the truth instead of the perceived truth.The truth to me and I think a lot of people is Covid is here to  stay and in polluted cities like  London there is  still a  outbreak.What makes me happy in some blogs and

Recently  I went to a hot dog stand with my good friend Sophie. (I think that’s what secretly bonds us our love of hot dogs) When she ordered her one first . I was shocked with what I witnessed before  my eyes. Sophie ordered a beef hotdog  with plenty of onions and mustard. The woman

Greg Fergus has recently become the first  black speaker in Canadian Parliament. In these tough times it’s good to have news like this. Imagine Canada has had a black speaker before Britain. Times are really changing and hopefully  for the better. What chills me out Greg doesn’t know the doors he’s going to open for

Ravi Adelekan  has won the  Child of Courage award in this year’s Pride of Britain Awards. He’s an 8 year old boy whose  battled brain cancer which has paralyzed one half of his adorable face. But still with  all that he’s gone through found  time to fundraise for charity, and his efforts has raised £1000’s and inspired

When I thought I couldn’t come up with another reason  to love The Rock. I found another. A Zimbabwean   man Themba Gorimbo came to the US with the hope of bringing his family and achieving his dream of being a UFC champion. But his journey was met with many bumps in the road.  1 He couldnt

In honor of Black History Month. I will tell my own experience in regards to discrimination, and how I think we can get closure and make more progress. I remember when me and may mates   was finishing high school year or college ,and we had an online job portal which allowed us to apply for

I’m so proud of Nigeria  on their  63rd independence day especially with the new President Tinubu ,and hope the citizens and all in the diaspora celebrated it ,and honoured the historic date in some shape or form. But I have to admit I wasn’t too  much in the party mood, and don’t think I’m  the

Do you know there’s some music that  when you listen too ,you can’t get it  out of your head. Not always because of the flow. Mostly because the lyrics truly  touch you. I think everyone has a song that always leaves you reaching out for the Kleenex. One of my old favorites is ‘’life is

I will be the first person to admit I don’t know the first thing about football off-side rule or on-side rule. It’s all gibberish to me. So I bet you can guess why would I watch a football docu-series about aspiring footballers. Wouldn’t it not bore me to death? I can admit now I have

Football is a universal game. But also  sadly abuse is universal it doesn’t discriminate who or where it takes place. And in Dele Alli’s case it definitely proves that theory. I was so impressed and in disbelief. When I watched the Dele interview with Gary Neville. It was just unbearable to believe a fine young

Wow what an inauguration day. I’m so proud as especially  as a Yoruba woman that Pres Bola Tinubu was sworn in as president without any major hiccups. The celebration in London was epic. It truly was a buzzing afternoon the love the diaspora have for President Tinubu truly filled the room, and the food was

I’m so proud of my mum. She is starting her training to be a magistrate. I’m now more looking forward to getting elder, as your never too late or old to aspire to achieve more. She is one of  the few black people in her training. Which I find so mystifying and disturbing. But when

Seriously I think there just making it hard to be a driver. Apparently soon pay and display machines will be axed on most city streets. The initiative is done to make people use apps instead. I think personally this is a bad idea.  I  know we’re living in a digitalized world. Isn’t it not presumptuous

To me the best time for R&b music was the 1990s and early 2000’s. Smooth,silky  vocals. I feel the band Flo take us on that long-awaited time machine back to that era. They are  a trio who have won a rising star award in Brit Awards. And the good news all the previous recipients have

You got to hand it to Britain. Despite being cash-strapped as a nation. We still managed this year’s Comic Relief to raise an astonishing £32 million. I know the news can be  cold and doom and gloom these days. But this story truly warms my heart. And also Dawn French who to me is a

Mums are treasures. They are priceless. And hard to be replaced. It may sound corny, but the statement is true and should be ringing in all peoples’ ears today. But I think personally it’s criminal to just cherish your mum for one day. You should do that every day. But what I think we easily

Recently I went out for steak and  mash with   apple pie for dessert. I had high hopes, as it was a cool-looking restaurant. When I was expecting succulent steak dripping with jus. And a flaky apple pie with the cinnamon sugar dusted on top. Sadly the fantasy was different from the reality. The steak was

If they say that modern youth are  complacent and not hungry to succeed. The critics should eat up this  story that Finley Hutchings has become Britain’s youngest shopkeeper at age 16 running a country  clothing store. It’s very refreshing to see a young adult making headlines for the right reasons. I honestly don’t think I

Apparently there is a Swiss town Albinen   that is offering  families £50,000 to come and set up residence. Why they are desperate for people is  probably  due to a declining population since 2020 they reportedly had 238 people living in the small village. The lack of jobs probably  led to the exodus. But as they

If someone broke your heart in high school. And later came into your life. You’d probably hurl insults, and then accept the overdue chocolates and flowers. If someone said your fat  in jest, and then apologized. You’d probably accept the apology ,but still check the mirror to see if there’s any resemblance of truth. How

Have you ever heard of a guilty verdict, and it still felt like a not-guilty verdict? That definitely applies to this case I’m about to tell you. Cheryl Araujo was a 21 year old woman  from  New Bedford,Massachusetts  who left her family home after a party in pursuit of a cigarette. The store was closed

Also,  another news honoring International Women’s day. A British woman has been awarded the post of NASA’s chief scientist. The first British and second woman in history to be awarded this prestigious role. They say it all starts in the  young ages. As she said she got engrossed in space when her dad put on

Due to the recent coverage  about the   surge of crimes in the London Underground. I feel compelled to say my own experience about using the underground. I think the  London underground is an everyday staple to most Londoners. We can all relate to the underground it’s a place to use rushing for work ,getting  your

Recently there was an act of kindness that  happened towards me that truly touched me. I was at my local supermarket in London  this past  Saturday getting ready to stock up for the week. I was trying to get a trolley( since pandemic they’ve made it so hard to free from it’s case) When I

In honor of international women’s day. I will not like to follow the usual cliché of acknowledging notable names. I will like to start my own trend and pay homage to an unsung hero who recently died during the pandemic. Maurine was one of the deaths that really got to me, and made me question

The result   most people in diaspora were praying for has come. The result that Bola Tinubu has become victorious in the 2023 Nigeria General Election. I think outsiders in politics  mostly underate  the human effort it takes to complete an election race. Speaking from my own personal experience in the world of politics  not everyone

I don’t know where this gem was hiding from me on the tv guide. I’ve just recently come across old episodes of  Africa’s  Next Top Model. I was so happy to come across a show that celebrates all different skin tones, accents, cultures of Africa in one competition. Personally it’s so fulfilling to see true

I’ve been receiving some requests from readers about African recipes. I will say im  not a Gordon Ramsay,but I do know my way around a kitchen. Let’s just say the pandemic gave me a lot of opportunity to practice my cooking skills, and the best process as always was the testing. What can I say

Review of The Real Housewives of Abuja. I definitely had to watch the northern version. As I wanted to see did it live up to the hype, and I have mixed feelings, but don’t get me wrong it was still great for a premiere episode. Here’s my opinions of some of the housewives. I got

Woww Rihanna truly did live up to the hype. I’m so proud I stayed up to watch the Superbowl. Everyone who knows Superbowl knows it’s the halftime show most people want to see. I  felt so maternal strangely even though she’s older than me. I feel almost like I grew up with her. I can

A scene which is sadly not strange these days is the US police killing another unarmed black person. That sadly is the norm is this modern climate. But what is not  normal seeing a group of  rogue black  officers killing a unarmed black man. That was the the case of Tyre Nichols. A man who

The Turkey/Syria  earthquake  really is a crisis. It truly makes me sad for the people, as if they are starring in a disaster movie, and they are the unwilling actors. I truly pray more can be done  to assist the displaced people. The scenes that will stick to me are the children being taken out

Thank you it’s about time. I always  recoil in horror anytime  I’ve researched the Emmett Till   I always end up feeling a like a historian. And wishing that his story was fiction,but sadly it’s a sad reality that’s part of to some people ‘’unheard history’’. I know most people would love to have it  wiped

Tinubu is the man I personally label, and believe others can attest to is the architect of Lagos and APC party. So I can personally believe he can be trusted with rebuilding the whole of Nigeria. If you don’t believe me the evidence speaks for itself Lagos is now a cosmopolitan rival to major cities

Well what a year. It’s had it’s up and downs, as everyone can agree. But  the one thing we can all be blessed with is the fact that we reached the end of the year. As not everyone was lucky to achieve that. It makes me remember a conversation between me and my friends in

When it comes to sports. I think I can hold my own when it comes to general knowledge and participation. But when it comes to my old nemesis football. Let’s just say I was last in queue when God installed ‘’soccer magic’’. But despite my novice in this area. I always knew the name ‘’Pele’’.

What a sad life. Pele  and Dame  Vivienne Westwood both icons in their respective industries died within 24 hours. What a sad way to end 2022. The only time I remember an incident like this was when the ‘King Of Pop’ Michael Jackson and ‘Charlie’s Angel’ Farah Fawcett died around the same day. Unlike Football.

Hakeem Jeffries has just been elected to succeed Nancy Pelosi as house leader. Not forgetting first black person in history to have the role. Wow what a way to end 2022. I truly am proud to see a fine representation of a black man especially in these tough  modern times. A devoted family man, and

I’m always proud to be of nigerian descent. But this week I’m especially proud. When I heard The US Army has recently promoted a woman of Nigerian descent Amanda Azubuike from Lieutenant Colonel to Brigadier General. Her promotion was bestowed on her in a prestigious ceremony held at  Fort Knox, Kentucky, USA. To me, it

Jessikah Inaba, 23 truly  resignates the  ‘’never give up attitude’’. That we us parents hope to install in our children who at times (rightly so) can think life is unfair to them. Jess has now joined the bar and essentially become Britain’s first blind black barrister. She got through her intense law course in the

Please explain to me this. Why do you bad fathers check out of your children’s lives? Like your checking out of a grocery aisle. Why do you bad fathers always play the song that. ‘’You don’t know what’s going on in my life”. ‘’I never had my own father’’. So Einstein  why do you choose

The  current story that really  is injustice at it’s highest form. Is about a man who was  just found innocent after spending 38 years in prison. I know I’m not joking over 3 decades of your life wasted in the joint on faked-up charges. Let me bring you up to speed for those not informed

Family is something I’m so happy and grateful that I have. My mum’s immediate family and extended in Nigeria are the best. Anytime they take the time to  get in touch I always feel that sense of belong and unity ,and I truly treasure it, as to me as family is priceless. But I’m sad

The actor Brendan Fraser had a huge effect on my pre-teen to teen years. Through The Mummy franchise it encouraged my fascination for the Egyptian culture from  the pyramids to the food to the  make-up (to me they created the eye-liner trend and slayed it) I too along with his legion of fans wandered. Where

Since youth I’ve always liked viewing forensic detective shows. (Blame the tv guide) And I’m happy that I have the ability after a gripping case to switch off. But the case that I watched recently that  still gives me the creeps,and makes me take my personal security more safety.  Is a show  called ‘The Prosecutors

I have to admit London has a epidemic with  disturbing behaviour scenes that are mirrored throughout other areas in the  UK. Near a station nearby a woman was followed into the station and raped in a  empty carriage in London ,and I remember recently on a  packed train to central London with a mate a

The only beautiful thing about the beloved Queen’s death is it actually humanized her more. When we think Queen Elizabeth we think about lavish dresses and a beautiful array of bespoke jewelry. But actually, we got to hear all the array of stories from people across the world  who were privilege to meet her ,you

Wow what can I say news we were kind of expecting, but dreaded the day it would eventually happen. In a time of constant change and constant divide she The Queen was the constant figure that was neutral, and was a calming presence for the nation. She literally was the face of the nation. I

I always say mums are like lionesses. They would do anything to protect their cubs. That dully applies in the case of Archie Battersbee. His  mum Hollie Dance truly went to battle for him trying to keep him alive, and despite the outcome, she won the hearts of the nation, and made most mothers re-affirm

Everytime I  see the video my stomach churns more and more. I always feel at times the ethnics  are made to feel silenced in regards to our views  of our uncomfortable experiences in some parts of Europe. I feel we get dismissed at times. All I can say is the ignorant people at least have

There’s a common misconception that people who are long-time unemployed are  either  idle couch potatoes. But they never realize the hidden meaning behind non—interest in ‘work’. When you apply for a job it’s like an open invitation to get the crap knocked out of you, and not everyone has the stomach for rejection. What people

Chris Benoit is a tale that the wrestling community especially WWE wish to  be part of forgotten history. But to me, the story should serve as a cautionary tale  of living over the edge and beyond suspicion. I believe it should be brought more to light his situation. Don’t get wrong there’s no way I

I always felt secretly miffed that my parents never let me do sleepovers when I was younger. (Well I had one, but was picked up before midnight, so that doesn’t technically  count) But when I read and watched the true-life case of Polly klaas. I now know it was a blessing in disguise my parents’

I think we can all agree Britain virtually roasted in the heatwave. It felt like we were guinea pigs being trialed by the universe because we don’t take climate change seriously. We will soon rather than later be smoked to death was the message I got from the weather. All I can say is enough

The worst fear for most people is to vanish from the face of the earth, and nobody bat an eyelid. That sadly was the frank reality for Sheila Seleoane. Due to the pandemic, a lot of  things and people were swept under the carpet. Sheila Seleoane a medical secretary lay dead in her Peckham flat

Be honest if you see a person sitting on their own in a café. Would you leave the comfort of your seat and  extend the hand of friendship ,and invite that person  to join your table. If I’m honest I’d assess the situation, and at times psych myself that maybe the person would be offended

I have a friend I’m not gonna name but she knows who she is. If she’s reading this article. I really respect her,and never had the pleasure of expressing it to her and giving credit when it’s due. But there’s no time better than the present. When we were in school she became a young

My personal mantras that I swear by for a meaningful existence. 1.Love yourself before you hate yourself to death. 2.Convert vanity to productivity. 3.Join a social club of people with similar interests. 4.Eat home comforts in edited ways. 5.Shake yourself in your bedroom. 6.Lazy energy is the enemy of progress. 7.Be informed about what’s happening

That’s the philosophy I standby and live by ( despite my cheeky love for puff puff which anytime I have one I  swear is the last, but  I can endeavor a record 4 puff puff in one sitting, fellow Nigerians what’s your puff puff  limit lol ) Back to the conversation that’s why you may

Is one of my new Youtube channel binges. Do you know when you find something you think you won’t like, but it then becomes a new prized possession. That how Rate My Takeaway’s videos mean to me. Why I find it authentic is that it does not have the crazy theatrics you’d spot in a

Anyone who knows me knows that I’m a real housewife fan since it’s conception. My particular favourites out of the franchise are the New York and  Atlanta versions. I think it’s most people’s guilty tv pleasure. Seeing how the other half live. A life we all aspire for. Now finally about time.  The successful franchise

When you go to Peckham it’s like going to your local hairdressers. You get to hear all the goss.  Whose opening a new suya restaurant, When is Simi performing live, whose offspring is graduating, and whose sleeping with whose husband (tut tut.) So when word was announced that immigration were coming to take someone into

Imagine seeing a elderly woman in decent attire talking to the vegetables in the supermarket ,and talking to your mum by the bread section, as if their familiar while they are actually complete strangers. Leaving your mum with water in their eyes. Then a old man sitting in the local bus scouting for potential conversation

At times we feel we tend to know heroes. From comic books to portrayal of Superman  and Batman. But sadly the injustice is that society doesn’t have time or space to highlight all the true ‘’heroes’’, and at times those heroes don’t want the publicity for their deeds themselves. So technical terms for these heroes

If I’m writing this. The deed is already done the nuptials of Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, and all I can say about time rightly so a fitting climax to a beautiful love story. And what better place than the romantic picturesque country of Italy to do it. Why I’m so happy I personally championed

I always dreaded the day I would have to announce that Tom Parker is dead. I can remember the moment as if it was just yesterday.  I was just logging on to my computer, then the news was all over my homepage , and it really knocked me down like a ton of bricks. Even

But not in this case ,because I always wonder from time to time  how Chuka is coping since his exit from British politics, and the prosperous political career that sadly eluded him due to varying factors. I really feel sad writing this, but also happy at the same time ,as I feel  I’m highlighting a

I always say practice what you preach, even when behind closed doors. Why I say that in the spirit of international women’s day. I want to talk about my own personal experience, and encounters with fellow women , so therefore  this post  will explain partly the reasons behind my short-lived political career. What I  noticed

I’m a firm believer of “what you study doesn’t mean, what you have to embody”. Life is very up and down, and I think you should be prepared for the unexpected. They say if “one door closes another door opens”. I know sounds cliché, but this woman I came across online is living proof of
