All you NEED to know

I'm sure that from the title of this piece, you already know what I am going to speak about.  In case you do not know me,  Hi, my name is Princess Odey and I am a recovering wallflower.  Growing up, I wasn't exactly a wallflower. I was outspoken, I was assertive and I had no fear in the world. I don't know if it was the fearless heart of  a child or if I was just  plain crazy, but yea, not a wallflower. However, somewhere along the way, I lost that "crazy". I cannot pinpoint the exact period that this happened but I discovered that somehow, I had gotten "shy". What I did during this period was, I hid a lot; I hid behind my books and novels and movies and behind the reserved facade just watching people and unconsciously learning. It was also really helpful that I had  a knack for disappearing when I was asked to do something that pertained to being put on the spot or being in front of a crowd as such, I mastered the art of blending into the environment ve...

I visited a mechanic's workshop of recent and it brought back so many memories. When I was much younger, I went to a lot of mechanic workshops with my dad and it was one of my most happy moments. You see, I was a very curious child and so, I would ask a lot of questions, thankfully, I had a very patient  dad who was always ready to teach me everything I wanted to know.  THE AUTOMOBILE - I always asked why there were a lot of broken cars in the mechanics workshop(I know that you may be thinking, " but that's what mechanics are there for ")- well, I mean the cars that are just abandoned with no one working on them. I always felt that they were lonely and should just be put out of their  misery...                                                                       ...

Hey wandering eyes, Do you think I don't see the ring you just hid in your pocket? Or the indent caused by the same ring on your fourth finger? They say not all of YOU are demons but I guess you're here to prove them wrong. What will 'iyawo' think when she sees how fast your eyes wander? Or how you shout "bàwò ní" to Bose, the POS  girl at the junction with a mischievous glint in your eyes? Will she think, "he's a man and that's how they do, besides he's just looking na"   OR will she smack your big head with her palm (which is what I personally think you deserve). Well, today I'm the girl who's going to mind her business and pretend I didn't see the horrible wink you sent my way. Till next time.  Princess💞

Hi Guys, I've been putting off publishing this and several other pieces for a while now, but something just happened to me and I am more inspired to put this out now.  So, I was just on my own jeje, scrolling through Instastories and I saw a poll that asked " Are you in Love ?" I just wanted to click " Yes " and INSTAGRAM  swiped me out?! Likeeeeeee!!  Like, why so judgy Insta? You don't know if I'm in love or not do you??! No, do you?! (answer na. Mtshewww) How dare you??? I was 'single-shamed' by Instagram and as an advocate for the people, I decided to publish this piece, much to the shame of Insta. Now, to the matter of the day; This piece was inspired by this amazing 90's R n B Playlist I was listening to that consisted of songs like Bended Knees by Boys II Men, Dilemma by Nelly ft. Kelly, Walking Away by Craig David and some other amazing songs by various artists including Usher, 50 Cent, Destiny's Child etc (You sha get my point). ...
