It’s either, am pregnant or someone is pregnant is for me because I have been craving some really odd meals at very odd times of the day.  Like craving Pounded yam and Onugbu soup by 8:00am and then craving Beans & Garri by 8:12am.  I don’t know what the problem is but I plan to figure it out.

Talking about craving, I’ve heard pregnant women crave/like the oddest things. I once heard about a certain woman whom during pregnancy discovered that she liked the smell of the toilet. So, most of the time; she will sit in the toilet to inhale her favourite smell of all times. Dear God, please let my wife’s pregnant craving be the hatred money.

Last night’s craving was Surulere’s Akara, fried yam and plantain. I called a cab and headed off to Surulere.

I was jejely buying my Akara when the couple came. He wanted Akara and Yam but she wanted only plantain. He suggested that they buy few slices of yam and more plantain but she said, they should just get plantain and go. After few minutes of English speaking and a little Yoruba, they ended up buying N150.000 plantain. He sacrificed his yam for her plantain and she wouldn’t even let him buy a piece for himself.

The event got me thinking about relationships and how much we are willing to give/do to make IT work.

I’ve been in all sorts of relationships and have also witnessed different ones. Some good, some wonderful and some made in hell.

Recently, I heard about a relationship of 2 years that currently ended and the dude is planning a thanksgiving. He stays in Lagos while she lives in Abuja. During their 2 years relationship, she only slept in his house 3 times because she said she was not comfortable with the fact that he was staying in a single room, self contained.

He would buy her flight ticket from Abuja to Lagos and back, pay for hotel accommodation, Red cab and food. She was not really into the TFC/KFC things; she only loved food associated with countries such as Thailand, China et al.

On his visits to Abuja, he would also pay... READ MORE

The One You Loved

Have you ever just sat and cried
all because the one you loved lied.
Have you ever wondered why should I try
when 'all that guy does is make me cry'.

Have you ever just played your part
even though you knew he'd been cheating on you from the start.
Have you ever loved somebody in every way
to the point you didn't know what to say.

Have you ever just come apart
because the one you loved played with you heart.
Have you ever wished upon a star
but that wish never went very far.

Have you ever laid down at night
and thought why did I start that stupid fight.
Have you ever felt used
and all this time been confused.

Have you ever felt like giving up
when you had your girls beside you always cheering you up.
Are you tired writing you first name with his last
knowing it will never be.

Let go of the one you LOVED if you know truly that he doesnt deserve your heart.

GSi Relationship Guru: Trust in relationship by Miss Ohio

What is TRUST?

Trust means to believe.

To trust someone means you have no doubt about their honesty and integrity. 
Trust is the foundation of a relationship; a relationship is built on trust.

If we cannot trust we can’t find love or find joy in a relationship.
A relationship begins with trust; 
If a relationship lacks trust, that relationship has nothing.


I will say trust is the most important thing in a relationship because no matter how much you love someone if you don’t trust them, the relationship can never survive.
I know it takes years to build up trust but I will say give your partner the benefit of doubt.
Trust takes years to build and only seconds to destroy it, it could take only one lie for your partner to lose trust in you. 

Trust is like a mirror once broken it can never be the same again, without trust your words to your partner could become irrelevant but with trust your words become life itself.

When trust is lost, we feel angry, betrayed and taken for granted.
The truth hurts but doesn't kill, the lies please but it doesn’t heal. 
The best thing is to always be upfront, real and truthful 
Honour your partner by acting with integrity at all times.
