Happy new year to you all!!! I cannot believe we are in 2012 already. I have been so busy that I have not blogged for a long time. I hope to be back to regular blogging soon. A lot has happened since I last blogged such as I have completed my research (Thanks be to God) and I have a beautiful baby girl!!! God has been really good to me. I pray this year brings us lots of happiness and laughter.

I love the quote below. I hope it cheers you up. Enjoy!!!! "Let me tell you something you already know. The world isn't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody can hit as hard as life.

This weekend has been a blast. The weather has been fantastic and the mood everywhere has been great. So what do you think or make of the most watched wedding ever? It was one of the most amazing weddings I've ever seen. I even shed some tears of happiness. This is wishing the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge all the happiness in the world. The kiss

There are so many pictures circulating the internet of those who were tortured and killed in the recent northern Nigeria crisis. I have just picked some of those who lost their lives so that we can say a little prayer for them and their loved ones. It is so sad what happened to these young promising youths and that is why we must not forget them. Their death must not be in vain. Since the

I have not been blogging for a long time now. I have been overwhelmed by my research and have been so stressed. I am feeling much better now and I am glad to say that I am back to blogging. Have you heard of the recent killings in Nigeria? Well, it all started because of the election results. Some groups were unhappy, then  took to the streets and started killing their fellow human beings.The

Did you read the story about the Sunday school teacher who helped plot the killings of her policeman husband and her lover’s wife almost 20 years ago?  I found many comments quite interesting but one stuck out to me. "The majority of people who call themselves Christian are anything but-selfish, nasty people with no compassion, love or true faith. Mostly it's a pantomime, getting dressed up for

Why is there so much inequality in the world? Why are some healthy and some ill? Why are some rich and some poor? Why are some brilliant and some not? Why are some developed and some underdeveloped? Why? Why can't we all be equal, happy and rich? Mind you, all mentioned is not my definition of happiness!!!! My definition of happiness will include the love of God, love from my family and friends

I got my long hair cut this weekend because I wanted to be trendy and fashionable lol!!! I regretted that decision in the morning. What have I done? I want my thick long hair back sob! sob! sob! Well, everyone liked my new hair style and before long, I forgot the pain of cutting my long hair and embraced my new hair style. If I want long hair, all I have to do, is to go back to the hairdresser

I am thinking of getting a hair cut!!! Drastic I know but I think I am ready for it. I just hope that the hair dresser gets my hair cut well. I love my long hair but I am tired of it now and need something different. I am hoping that I will be able to manage my hair better without all that hassle of worrying about tangling my hair. I am going to book the appointment and if the hair cut does not

Well! Well! Well! What did we find at the back of our garden? It was a dead fox!!! It was just lying there as if it was still sleeping. We think it was poisoned and died at the back of our garden. Poor thing!!! Well, the next thing that came to our mind was how to get rid of it. Simple question but complicated answer. First idea was to go on-line and get answers. Went on-line and found out that

I have taken up some new healthy habits which involves swimming and eating of fruits. How long I can sustain that, I don't know but I feel better for living a healthy life style. Yesterday, I swam about 30 lengths. I felt great when I came home and slept peacefully. I am looking to joining a gym with a swimming pool that is close by where I live. So, when I get back from work, all I have to do is

I woke up this morning with my thoughts everywhere. Before I knew it, I was already having a pity party. That did not last long because I got myself out of it quickly. Sometimes, I just sit down and think of all the things that have happened to me and all the pains that I have been through and I begin to cry. I must confess that I have asked the questions WHY as well as WHY ME? But I don't dwell

I have got this question that I need an answer to. How do you deal with boastful people? There is nothing more irritating than for someone to keep boasting about little things. I fail to understand what they want to get out of it. I don't mind someone telling me about their achievements and how they got it. Those people with great achievements deserve to talk about all the hard work they put in

Yesterday's international food day went well. There were loads of food from different parts of the world. I had a fantastic time. I felt so tired after the event because I woke up very early in the morning to prepare my dishes. The fried plantain went down well with everyone and I loved the fact that people actually enjoyed it. I shall uploads some photos hopefully. These events are arranged so

Today is international food day at my Uni and I prepared jellof rice (vegetarian option) and fried plantain. I am looking forward to sampling other meals from other nationalities. I am going to go swimming to burn the extra calories that I will be eating today. I will report back to you and maybe upload some pictures too!!! Have a wonderful day!!!

I am sat on my own at home, cracking my brains and really not getting anywhere!!!! This really frustrates me and the only way I can vent my frustration is to write about it.  It really gives me time to get away from my research and focus on how I feel. Yesterday, I took a break and went for a walk. That helped a lot because it gave me time to reflect on what I have done and what I should do. I

I attended an amazing wedding this weekend and I had a fantastic time. When the lovely couple were exchanging their vows with each other, I felt the enormousness of those words, those commitments made to each other and how many couple actually keep to each of those words. I just started thinking about love, what it means and where one can get the greatest kind of love. My spirit just spoke to me

I've been sat at my computer all day and can't seem to do any tangible work. I have got to submit this piece of work tomorrow but nothing is flowing out of my head. I have taken short breaks, given myself rest to see if I can get new ideas but nothing. Don't know what to do!!!! I am going to do some more reading to see if it will jump start my brain. Hope you are having a more productive day?

There are so many people that I have come across recently and have also spoken to that are going through trying times now. It is really difficult when someone that does not know your pain tells you that everything is going to be all right. You may be feeling all alone, sad and depressed now. I can tell you that I have been in that place where all you think you see is darkness. But I must say

Why is it that some people are so full of envy? I mean, they try to belittle or even bully people that they are envious of. I love to watch and analyse people's behaviour. For example, some people never stop talking about other people. Every conversation has to be about other people. There are some people that are so full of hatred that they manipulate others to hate you too with false stories

Hi everyone, I hope you are all having a lovely day and that the weather where you are is fantastic? It is snowing over here but I am indoors in the warmth of my home doing some of my research work. I woke up today still a little shaken from the road rage I witnessed yesterday. I think some people should not be driving at all or be let out of their homes because of the amount of anger in them.

Hello Everyone, It has been a long time since I posted on my blog. Life has been teaching me some few things in the last few months. It has not been easy but I humble myself to learn from the University of Life. I hold strong to my faith which carries me through all the storms. I am so happy that I am alive and healthy. That is one of  the greatest gifts God has blessed me with.I have no new year

So this time around, I did not meet anyone I know however, this loud mouthed guy

One of my many pleasures is reading. I love reading anything informative. My dad got me into reading when I was young. I remember that he would come home with newspapers and give them to me to read and after reading, we both discussed the issues in the papers. I have got into the habit of reading forums, blogs and in fact  any thing with  information. Yesterday,I was reading the news about this

Sending love to you all Hello all, I had a lovely weekend in London. I went for a friends wedding and it was one of the most beautiful weddings I have been to. The bride and groom looked fantastic and so in love. It was a long journey back home. When I got back home, I decided to check my mails and facebook among other things.

What is with the weather? I thought we were in for a hot sunny summer but the weather has rather been quite miserable. It has been raining all week!!! And why do we care so much about the weather? I have observed that whenever I am speaking with friends on the phone, they always ask me how the weather is where I am. That is actually quite funny because in Nigeria, no one really asks you how the

Today is such a great day!!! For the fact that I am alive and have my loved ones around me, I am grateful to God. I am all charged and ready to start the day. I am really looking forward to finishing my studies and moving on to other great, interesting and exciting stuff. I am already dreaming of what I want to do and where I want to be. It is great to dream. I remember that I have always had big

Woke up this morning to the sound of pouring rain. Not again I murmured to myself. Where did the sunshine go to? Well, I am at my desk right now looking out to a beautiful sunny day. Makes me feel like jumping and dancing. There is something about the sun that just lifts my spirit up. Talking about feeling good about myself, I have been really happy these few days. My hormones are settled and I

I was all emotional last week and I did not understand why I was being so duh!!!! I was just not nice at all. One moment I am the happiest bird in the world and the next I am at my desk at work crying my eyes out.  I did not want to speak to anyone and if anyone just said the wrong thing to me I would have jumped on them lol!!! I was wondering what was going on with me. Why is my emotion all

I just took at look at my feet and just couldn't believe how disfigured they are. I have very long feet and that makes it very difficult for me to find shoes that fit properly. The shoes made for long feet are so uncomfortable and the most annoying thing is that I have got painful corns on my feet from wearing these ill fitted shoes. Maybe there is a niche in the market and I have to fill that

I am finally feeling great. I have analysed and dealt with my worries over my work load. I think I needed some time to get a grip of the massive work load I had. I cannot do anything about it but to dust my feet up and get on with my work. Those who know me know that I am not a quitter!!!! So, with the help of God, I am going to climb this hill and get to the top. I hope to relax this weekend and

I am back at Uni today and just feel absolutely tired and down. I am not in the mood to reply to any emails or to speak to anyone. I just wonder whether I am the only person that just gets really frustrated and angry with my progress. I hope I can make some progress this week. I want to finish this thesis and move on with life. I have been grumpy all week and just don't know why I am so down. I

I was sat on the bus one day and my mind just went to another little world where there was no answers to the questions on my mind. I had loads of questions but little answers. Within a second, my mind had thought of a million stuff. In that moment, no one mattered to me. Nothing mattered to me because I did not see anything beyond that very moment. I thought to myself...."you are bruised badly"!!

Here is wishing you a wonderful month. I pray it brings you every good thing that you desire. What are your plans for this month? Are you going on a holiday? I want a holiday so much. I just want somewhere I can escape from all the stress of life with as few humans as possible (lol) and lots of nature surrounding me. OK, got to run now. Have a wonderful day!!!!!

Hello everyone!!! Hope you all are having a lovely week? I sure am. I have been busy writing my theses and I am so blessed that my brain is cooperating lol!!! Some days, my brain does not just want to do any work and any thing I do is futile at that moment. OK, I just wanted to share something with you all.

I woke up today and just felt really good. The sun is out again and I feel on top of the world. I just feel so happy!!! The best blessing for me is being alive and healthy with wonderful family and friends all around me. I know it sounds like a cliché now but I just feel so blessed that I have God in my life and HE has made EVERYTHING so beautiful in my life. I feel like singing songs of PRAISE!!

It was a beautiful day. The sun was out. I was happy. I had a lovely day at Faiza's house. We had the most amazing Malaysian meal. I thank God for being my God, I thank God for my health, life, family and for great friends. Love you all!!! Hope you had a lovely day?

I have had a very busy day and now on my way to relax and have something to eat. I never knew research analysis could be such hard work. I have been giving what I thought was my best but my supervisor keeps pushing me for more. I like the way my supervisor pushes me. It means that he thinks I have got potential to do more than I am currently doing. Right now, my work just keeps changing which is

Hello everyone. I hope you are all having a lovely weekend? I just got a mail from a friend and I wanted to share such an inspirational message with all of you. Here it is: Malachi 3:3 says; 'He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver.' This verse puzzled some women in a bible study and they wondered what this statement meant about the character and nature of God. One of the women offered to

Did any of you watch "Welcome to Lagos" in BBC? I just love the programme. In the beginning, I was a bit sceptical on what the programme's intentions were but after watching it all, I just had to clap for all the participants that

Hello everyone. I have just been having a conversation with a colleague of mine about the recent happenings around the world. We talked about the earthquakes around the world, volcano eruptions, other disasters taking place and the tremendous human sufferings around the world. My colleague said to me that there is something about these disasters that is sending an undertone message. My question

Hi everyone, did you see the programme on BBC yesterday on Lagos Nigeria? It was really an eye opener. I hope the leaders of Nigeria watched it to see how the members of their communities are living. What came out most was the contentment of these hard working individuals. Those who think that they have it rough should look at these individuals and thank God for their lives. Enough said about the

I was just going through the papers and came across an article that caught my attention. A girl was shot in the neck in Hackney. The first thing that came to my mind is that this must be black on black crime. Surely, when I got to the bottom of the article, it said that the shooting is being dealt with by detectives from the Met's Operation Trident - the unit which investigates gun crime in the

Hello everyone, I cannot believe how the weekend has flown by so fast. Here I am at Uni developing a questionnaire for the project that I am working on. The weather is good and the sun is out. Talking about the sun, we had an amazing weather in the UK last weekend. I woke up early Saturday morning, got dressed and got on the train to Southport (sea side).

I was on the bus to uni and saw an elderly white man faint. His glasses was shattered and I was in so much shock and was hoping people would help him. This happened in city centre. There were people passing him and nobody seemed to care or wanted to help him. I then saw two black men and one cautiously approached the man, said something to the man and the elderly man gave the black man his hand

I had my hair done today. I finally don't have to do much styling with my hair as I had it braided. I don't know if I like the way I look now with this hairdo. I think I look too wild (lol). I dislike any form of attention and boy did I get loads today. I saw a guy on the bus literally staring at me. Gosh!!! He was also smiling at me. God knows what was going on in his head.

I went to church over the Easter break and the sermon just reminded me how loved I am. I just look at what God did for me on the Cross of Calvary!!! Wow!!! That just throws me.

Hello all, I am going to be asking some personal questions about ovulation and conception. I have done some extensive research on the web about this subject and found that there are numerous guides and articles to give almost every information there is about this subject. But what I am after is the personal experiences which are few online. Well, I will start with my experience. My periods are

I have learnt not to be too rigid with my desires but to allow God to move in my life whatever way he wants. After all, He created us and has greater plans for us than ourselves. Wishing you all a

Today was international food day at my university for PhD researchers. We had a lovely time. There were different tasty meals from all over the world. I made fried plantain so that everyone can join in (both vegetarians and meat eaters lol). Everyone wore their native wear. It was also a great opportunity to mingle and discuss other things outside of research topics etc. I will add some pictures

I was watching comic sports relief last night and they showed this HIV project in Nairobi, Kenya.The statistics of people living with HIV/AIDS was unbelievable. The average person lives to his/her 40s (life expectancy). Children are orphaned by parents who have died of the disease. There was a story in that programme that caught my attention and brought tears to my eyes. There was this lady whose

I just read about the explosion in Warri Nigeria. A woman lost her life as a result of the explosion. It is sad that the frustration of the people has gotten to the level that civil dialogue cannot take place. Everyday, I fear for the innocent citizens of Nigeria. Lives are not valued any more and the politicians seem not to care for its citizens. I am praying for Nigeria as I do not know what I

I was just having a discussion with a good friend and we some how got talking about our cultures. He mentioned that in his culture, it is not mandatory to circumcise males and I said that in mine it is normal culturally to circumcise male children. He then asked me if I will be willing to circumcise my son when I have one. This got me thinking and I researched a bit into this because sometimes,

I am always happy when the weekend comes. It means rest and spending time with my family and friends. Today is such a beautiful day. Beautiful days just makes me happy. I have a lot of uni work to do. I will try and do some reading and maybe some writing. My supervisor always says that a PhD is 80% thinking and 20% doing. He is right.

What to do when all you can see is total darkness? How can a troubled and hurt soul be healed? When all one sees is troubled waters everywhere and barely trying not to drown. Tears tears everywhere. Pain shooting through every part of the heart. I heard there is someone who can save. God help in this time of trouble. I heard you can deliver Lord. Deliver from every act of wickedness and cause

Why do some human beings cause pain to other human beings? Why do people find it pleasurable to hurt others? God made this world so beautiful and I am blessed that God has placed wonderful people all around me. I hope that I can bring joy and happiness to everyone I come in contact with. Do you think some people are just plain evil? I do not know for I am just thinking aloud!!!!

Hello everyone!!!! I was off blogging for a long time as I had a lot of uni work to do. I hope you all have had a fantastic holiday? I had a lovely holiday. I went to a little village near the seaside. I must say I had a brilliant time. I am currently working sooo hard to finish my research so put me in your prayers. Thanks for stopping by and I wouldn't mind you sharing what you did over the

The African black race has got to go back to God in prayers, as what we do to one another is a big shame!!!! We are killing one another, kidnapping one another etc!!! It is such a shame!!! There is no reason on earth why we should reduce ourselves to such a level!!! I am deeply ashamed of the recent kidnappings going on in Nigeria. Kidnapping for ransome. Even the ransome money is not used for

I have been very busy these past few months. A lot has happened. A Nigerian Man in Winchester attacked my sister. That really did hurt me. Some Nigerians attacked me last year also. The most painful part of the whole thing is that it was unprovoked attack. These guys just take one look at you and bang they just go mental. These Yoruba guys attacked me maybe because they saw me chatting with a

I was so shocked to read on the papers that a Manchester United fan in Nigeria intentionally killed four people when he drove his bus into a crowd celebrating Barcelona's victory in the Champions League final. I honestly do not underrate the passion and loyalty that goes with being a supporter of a team. However, I am totally in shock and cannot understand why a human being in his or her right

I was going through my mail and I found out that my mail was hacked into and someone was sending mails to all my friends on facebook. I was not happy about this. It made me wonder about this big brother state era where many of us especially in the UK have ID cards or are made to have one. I shudder to think what will happen when someone gets hold of one's identity. I have nothing against ID cards

Hello everyone, I have been off blogging for some time now because I have been so busy with uni work. I was on the bus today thinking about this life. Life is such a beautiful gift. I appreciate God each morning I wake up and I am always very excited about what the day has for me. I wonder what life has in store for me whenever am sad, happy or excited. But I have to say that sometime, the

I have read with so much interest the topic of Madonna's adoption of little Mercy. I wonder why there is so much fuss about adopting the child. Sometimes, I even wonder if all these "charities" and people making so much fuss truly mean well. Some people that call themselves "analysts" even try to highlight the negative aspect of adopting children from their own environment etc.My worry is whether

I have been doing a lot of soul searching recently. I am now asking myself lots of questions. Some questions or even most of the questions I come up with, I do not have an answer to them. I am looking at life, the world and the processes in it. I am doing some wondering also. I wonder this.... I wonder that.... I hope I find myself at the end of this soul searching journey.

There are so many things to be grateful for. Sometimes, life throws different obstacles our way but the way ones handles these obstacles determines how they come out of it. It helps to believe in something or even have faith in something. I have lots to be thankful for. Every day, I know that some one looks out for me. Some one makes sure that nothing evil happens to me. I feel so special and

I just had an endoscopy done and I can say what an experience it was. I have been having problems with my chest and upper abdomen. The doctor told me that this is just acid reflux. What this basically means is that acid finds its way back to my guts. This can be pretty uncomfortable and sometimes painful. I sometimes get this burning sensation in my chest. My mind went through different scenarios

I recalled the popular saying that goes ‘cut your coat according to your size’. I have always been a strong advocate of spending within my means. Thankfully, I am not one of those girls who go crazy for designer stuff (not that there is any thing wrong with loving designer stuff). I really envy those who can just go out and spend a fortune on shoes or bags without batting an eye lid. I wish I can

I feel so great knowing the holidays is by the corner. I can have few days of just relaxing and reflecting on what I have done in the past 11 months. I am not going to bring my self down if I have not achieved much. At least I am still alive and very healthy so there is hope that I will do better next year. I appreciate all the good things that has come my way this year, I am thankful to God for

Hello everyone, I have been busy with my research and also trying to get ideas what to do next. I am bored at the moment with working on my research but I have this burning determination to finish and just move unto the next level. I was going through some blogs and came across this one: http:www.blackfemaleinterracialmarriage.com. I love the way she blogs and I find her site quite interesting.

I woke up this morning with this tingling cough. The weather has been so cold and everyone is just coughing and sneezing. I hate getting cough or cold. It irritates me and makes me feel down. It doesn't help that it gets dark here around 3.30 in the afternoon. I am at university now and seriously thinking of different things I can be doing now. I was supposed to go to London last week but missed

One thing I know about the way leaders in Africa treat their citizens is one of total neglect. One of the major reasons why Africa has remained the way it is up till today is the manner in which leaders see their people and treat their people. This attitude now creeps to other services and day-to-day activities in the continent. Therefore, simple things are made rather difficult. I remember my

But as days passed, and more and more people were taken by this young

I was deep in thought after watching the movie ‘hostel’. It was really graphic and just played with my emotions. I watched it with a friend and I asked if this could be happening in real life. In a nutshell, the movie is about the rich indulging in their fantasies by killing humans through which means they want. Innocent girls or boys are lured by sex or fun and they get killed off by these

I was talking to a close friend of mine that Nigerians will be celebrating their independence on the 1st of October and my friend asked whom Nigerians are celebrating independence from. I said from the British colony. He went ahead to ask me if it is something really to celebrate since the country has not done much better since the end of colonialism. Well, I answered it is a big thing to

I was reading the papers today and came across a section that goes Nigeria and Britain discuss trial of politicians over money laundering. It is in corrupt countries like Nigeria that such type of thing happens.

I was just wondering why some countries have pulled through and are doing great and some are not. China and India are just great examples. Their determination and strive to be developed has just paid off. Now they are respected and given great status in the international scene. Africa I believe has refused to make any progress. What the leaders seem to be interested in is their selves. The

Sometimes, when I read certain things in the paper about Nigeria, it is like there is no hope left for that country. I was just going through the papers and I read that gunmen in Nigeria have kidnapped the elder brother of Nigerian and Everton football star Joseph Yobo.

I was in Prague last week and I was so amazed at how people in the country were staring at me as if they have not yet come in contact with a black person. The first night there, the looks I was getting began to make me nervous. Some one said to me not to worry that they were admiring me. I carried on, saying to myself that I should just relax and maybe they are admiring me or they have not truly

I could not help laughing after I read this. This is a must to share with you all. The title of what I read in Nigerian Vanguard is "Senate seeks public views on three-month jail term for indecently-dressed ladies".
