“A man who would be intimidated by me is the kind of man I’d have no interest in”-Chimamanda Adichie
The best TED talk ever.
Our culture is so unfair to women.
Why are African Men intimidated by successful African women?
African Men want to marry virgins but they are not virgins.
Why can’t a woman shine with her husband without her husband feeling disrespected if she outshines him?
Do what?
Learn to do your own hair and save lots of money. I learned last year from youtube. I love helping people stay in business but the prices for braids were getting crazy? $70-$100 for what?? I took charge of my life and I got on youtube and learned to do my own braids.
You have to make up your mind to save money to devote the time to learn.
Here are some pictures for inspiration..
I did Kinky Twist first before braids.
Yes, I did all of these braids by myself.
Each hair cost me less than $10 to make.
If you have the time please learn and save some money.
Yes we can!
Dear Lord,
I pray you help all our Nigerian NFL players to do well in Football this season. I pray they will come out of this season injury free and with no medical complications. I pray you give them strength in any area of their weakness. Father, we cover them with the blood of Jesus that no weapon formed against them shall prosper. Lord, you said that you will make us the head and not the tail. Father, I pray you make them the head this NFL season. Thank you Lord that it is well with their teams, coaches, playmates, families and all that concerns them.
Amen!
To Nigerian NFL Players: I pray you use the platform God has given you guys to change the face of Nigeria. God bless and stay Strong!
Philippians 4:13-You can do all things through Christ who gives me strength.

As you can tell I love South Africans. I love the music, culture, fashion, dance and anything South African.
South Africa is my next favorite country after Nigeria.
I love this song.
Modimo re boka wena– God, we praise thee
goba tsotlhe di entswe ke wena– everything is made by you (You make everything possible)
Rea go leboga Modimo, tau ya leloko la Juta– We’re thankful God, the lion king of Judea

Our future is Bright..
Do you like it here?
Americans love asking me this question. Why do you guys look surprise when I have say “there’s no place like home”?
This question has two answers yes and no.
Yes, I like it here because my education is very important to me.
Education in the states is better than in Nigeria period.
Life is Nigeria as a single person would cost me an arm and a leg without a good job.
In the states, it will be easier for me to advance academically.
Life in the states is more stable.
Living in Nigeria, I wouldn’t know what to expect.
I love living with constant light, water and better roads.
Life in the states to be honest is amazing.
Americans are very generous people too.
On the flip side..
No, I now have to deal with racial discrimination.
Everybody in Nigeria is black; I didn’t have to deal with much discrimination.
I saw discrimination against people of low socioeconomic status in Nigeria.. That’s it!
I didn’t have to try so hard to get people to like me.
Some Americans are shallow, they choose to hate for the dumbest reasons.
I now deal with discrimination not only from whites but from blacks as well.
Plus, Americans have this one-sided national geographic view of Africans.
I lived in motherland for 12 years..
Yes, we do not have constant light and water to this day because of selfish politicians, but there’s a love in heart for my country and my people that no country can take away.
Yes, I’d have liked my life better in my country if the standard of education was better but I like it here in the states.
