October 20, 2020 - National Blood and Bullets Day

Image
  We shall remind you at 61 how you turned a green and white flag into red and green with the blood of unarmed citizens. You blood sucking lots masked up in the name of leaders. We shall remind you monsters how you murdered the supposedly leaders of tomorrow. Simply because they were asking to be heard. Simply because they asked for a good country. We aren't even talking about 'better' because it has to be good before it becomes better. You killed innocent citizens simply because they demanded responsibility from a very irresponsible government. At this point, I honestly do not care. Nigeria needs help and the sooner we get it, the better. It's about time this country got shut down if these power-drunk octogenarians and septuagenarians won't let us thrive! My late grandmother's age mates are at the helms of affairs, leading people who are more enlightened than them in every damn area. I can't seem to stop the tears. A country whose president has kept mute am

This Thing Called SCAM

Image
You see this thing called scam ehh, it stems from little, just like a tree then grows into a forest. I run a business concurrently with my 9-5 job, let's just say it is a side hustle since 2018. The kind of energy I put into the whole thing is draining sometimes. I took the pains to go to CAC in Abuja myself to register the business. Singlehandedly built a website for same business (I'm no Web developer but I did it). Meanwhile, my business page BeYOUnique Empire is verified on Google. Like, I have the blue tick to my business name on Google. I had to give this background for you to understand how serious I took this business. My schedule could get too busy  but I try as much not to let any part suffer. I think I deserve accolades and I'm tend to lose it when anyone feels otherwise. So, sometime last year, a lady came to me, made enquiries and in my bid to please this potential customer, I subsidised the delivery rate for her and I made her understand that. I was

My Story: Who Is Chidinma Unigwe?

Who you? Lol. This witicism hasn't ceased from making me laugh since I stumbled upon that hilarious video. I intentionally wrote that because I have a feeling that if you were brave enough to have clicked this, you are most likely in for a drama-laden piece. So welcome... Let's talk about me, highlighting key things you deserve to know about me. It became imperative to write this at this time not to praise myself for any feat(s) attained or exonerate myself from anything, but rather, to ramble on about the nothingness of my being. Usually, my pink factor is being funny but behind those funny acts is a very compassionate soul. I can't begin to list what I have and haven't done to show compassion though. I am very emotional by the way. Little things make me cry. My tears ducts are very close to my cheeks to let the salty  waters flow freely. Only close acquaintances know this.  I am an unapologetic  nwa afo Igbo and was named Chidinma and Chis

Take Off The Mask And Be Yourself!

Image
Everyone has a demon they fight in the course of trying to make it through life. However, some people choose to mask up and rather die in silence. You know why?  Because they are scared of what people would say about them. You are broke but act rich because you don't want people to know you are really short of money and probably make a jest of you. Wait! Has it ever occurred to you that you might be scaring away potential helpers because of the facade you have built around you? Oh! You never really thought of that. Why try to impress people when you can live your life and make every step worth the while. I'm not suggesting that you should get a loud speaker and announce your issues. No way! It has almost never ended in praise especially in an era where social media has become the order of the day. During the days of our parents, a problem shared is half-solved (I'm not sure though), but these days, a problem shared is a subject of immediate discussion provided

She Is A Girl... And So What????

Image
She is a girl and so what? She deserves to live without all the restrictions the society places on her. No, she should not be made to think less of herself or live her life to please men. Often times, the society places too many rules on the girl child with little or no attention to their male counterparts. Little wonder the society is filled with badly behaved men. Once she is 18, she can't escape the 'when are you inviting us' question which all boils down to marriage expectations whether her dreams are as beautiful as a castle and her goals as big as an overfed elephant. She is expected to conduct herself in a manner that makes her 'likeable' and 'findable' by man, after all men are the 'finders' while women are the 'found' or the 'findees'. Hence, she should not talk loudly in public or wear clothes that are suggestive of a prostitute. She must have committed the greatest crime of all time if her panties mistakenly peep

Feminism: Is Gender Equality Even Possible?

Image
Feminism has become a household word in today’s world because of growing concerns about the inequality that lingers across genders. We live in a society where a gender(male) is seen superior to the other (female), perhaps because they have the tendencies of growing muscles and beards. But women also have tendencies of growing their own stuff you know. For the benefit of those who are oblivious of the meaning of the overly used word, it “the advocacy of women’s rights on the ground of the equality of the sexes”. The subject of feminism and all it entails usually irks sexists because it preaches contradicting trends to what they stand for. Personally, I think feminism is something that is worth discussing for days, sadly, a lot of people even the so-called feminists are even confused and usually throw caution to the wind so they wouldn’t be painted in a bad light especially in this clime where such people are branded ‘evil’ and all sorts. In fact, there is even Feminism Li

How To Know You Are in An Abusive Relationship

Image
Relationships should be beautiful right? Like something that should have a happy ending. Although it is practically impossible for all relationships to end on a rosy tone. Sometimes, we stay in abusive relationships without even having an iota of idea that we are in one. You know what they say about love being blind and (deaf and dumb) perhaps. But it is usually safer if we spot that we are actually in an abusive relationship and take a step either to leave to live or stay let it see the end of us (you shouldn't be surprised to hear that a lot of people have died as a result of abuse, yeah?). Abuse isn't only physical (like when he/she turns you into a punching bag and your home feels like a boxing ring). Abuse could come in form of emotional, verbal, or even sexual abuse and errrm... financial abuse, please. LOL. Okay, let's say we are focusing on married people here (hello single fam, take a chill pill, Y'all will get there someday). So... Did you eve
