What makes me think I easily fail at the ‘dad’ job is the refusal to assist sometimes. Why do I refuse? Culture defines it. Parents, especially mothers, teach their children how to behave as men and women.

Letting Go…
Love found me late last year, when I wasn’t even looking and when I least expected. It happened so fast and it was amazing.
Then, it ended the same way it started; with me not looking and when I least expected.
You know that feeling of running out of water when you’re halfway to quenching your thirst? Yeah, that was me for about six months. It sorta still is…
THE WITNESS
The Baliff announced the presence of the Judge and the court rose as the judge entered once the judge had taken his seat the court registrar began calling out the cases that were on the court’s list for that day.
I Still Have a Panic Attack
Now though, it seems I do not have the luxury of waking up and realizing I am a de facto adult, and let the fear that had germinated, festered and bore fruit in me (as evident in my many procrastination), float above me like a brooding demon, while I stare powerlessly at it.
Conversations With Him
Tuesday came with paranoia. I was already getting shitty worried because period was yet to come. I could feel the premenstrual cramps and all but period did not show o. I later told myself my body was adjusting itself for the baby growing in me, hence, the cramps.

Abortion: A Woman’s Right to Salvation
This is no different from society and our leaders in Africa. It is why you mention abortion to an African parent and the next word you hear is “abomination”.

All The Things That Happen When You Sit Beside A Cute Guy In The Bank
Kitan
First, you hear it; calling out your name in that sweet symphony of manliness that never fails to get you. You twist your body the other way, willing the patch of skin between your legs to grow up and behave its age. But you can’t resist it; because it knows. It knows about the wet…
The Second Chance
Barely two years after I started eating once a day, I had lost about 10kg and contrary to what I had thought, it brought me very little satisfaction. I kept pushing myself and constantly felt the need to skip meals and feel good about myself.
Have you ever just held a D?
Temi Niran
Why is my response to the idea of a man’s arousal, the instant need to satisfy and “settle” him? Why is arousing him without eventually helping him climax “unfair” to him? Especially if said sexual arousal functions the same way in both men and women?
Bury your blogs: How Instagram took over the Nigerian blogosphere
Bernard Dayo
From all indications, Ednut’s Insta-blogging career has given the former artiste another go at public fame, and also revenue. But omnibuses like Instablog have completely upended how we consume news and content.
