Now That You Are Here...


"You can't say you know a man until you know how he thinks" - Anya Oko


The above quote is from my mentor, and I think it makes a whole lot of sense. Many times we say we know who this person or that person is. The question is, do we really? That friend, that neighbor, that colleague you say you know, are you sure you really do? Because until you know how someone thinks, you don't really know them that much. Notice I said, how someone thinks, and not what they think. Sometimes, we preempt what someone thinks and when it turns out to be right, we go, 'I said it! I know how you think'. Don't be too quick to gloat brah, you may have just been lucky. When you know how someone truly thinks, then you can start popping the champagne and dancing azonto to Inyanya's Kukere.

Over the course of my life, I have heard people say things like, 'you are too complicated', 'you confuse me', 'I never know what you think, 'babe, you no dey ever dey serious' ... Well, Through My Glasses is here to debunk some of the myths people have about me *batting eyelids* I hope that through this blog, I become less complicated to my friends, foes and fans alike. *before nko? I get fans plenty na...oya, you can say for my dry mind, I no go vex...Looolz*  

Anyways, I hope that anytime you read a post here, I become less of an enigma to you. However, let's be honest, you might not agree with some of the things I write here, but hey, that's the beauty of life itself - we disagree to agree. Through My Glasses is not just a blog. It is my diary. It contains my opinions- those of a Naturally African Woman who Totally Inspires (NAWTI), on any and everything- u name it. If it catches my attention, if it makes me spit fire and brimstone, if it makes me blush, if it makes my heart beat faster than a stop watch, if it keeps my creative juices flowing, as long as I have an opinion about it, you bet you are going to read it on this blog. I look forward to having some intellectual exchanges, arguments, occasional respectful fights, (within reason of course) and the likes with you. 

So now that you are here, pull your chairs closer, grab yourself a drink, call the press, hold the news, take a deep breath and let's see the world and everything in it Through My Glasses, because trust me, in my world, everything, I mean absolutely EVERYTHING comes N.A.T.U.R.A.L.L.Y.

WHAT’S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT?

Image
An article on www.memefest.org titled ‘LoveAbuse’ has the following as its opening lines: Love: the strongest driving force on the planet. The most abused word in use today. The most inspiring mysterious concept. I agree totally with the second line. Lots of things get abused in the world today but I think this four letter word l-o-v-e easily takes top spot, without question. The evil and stupid things we do in the name of love are absolutely baffling. People blow up places and butcher people into tiny little bloody pieces because of the love they have for a deity. People abuse and maim those they say they love in the name of love. Love is often the reason given when a jealous lover disfigures the object of his/her love with undiluted acid. They love them too much to let them go, they say. People stay in toxic relationships because they are in love and do not want to be alone. It is this same love that makes two people with incompatible genotypes to take the ris...

NIGERIAN YOUTHS AND THE BURDEN OF NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Image
The greatest assets of any nation are not its mineral deposits or its oil wells. The greatest assets of any nation are not those on Forbes rich list, having more private jets and yachts than they know what to do with. The greatest assets of any nation are its youths. The future of a nation lies in its posterity and is determined by the quality of its youths. This is because youths are the powerhouse, the stronghold and the nucleus of any nation. They are the drivers of any nation’s prosperity. The hope of Nigeria’s future is hung on the shoulders of its future leaders- the youths.  Youths are the ones with the power to define the success or failure of a nation.  Any nation serious about development has to treat its youths as what they really are- potentials to be harnessed, and not problems to be solved. Statistically, youths make up about 60% of Nigeria’s over 170 million population. This is huge by any standard. This percentage also constitutes the major resource ba...

HAIR CHRONICLES

Image
I walked into a store today and the store owner, a young man that looked to be in his 30s couldn’t stop staring at my hair. This guy was oohing and aahing at “how well cut my hair was” and how it “brought out my true African facial features”. He loved the “natural boldness” with which I rocked my hair and wished he knew when next I was going to get a haircut so he could pay for it. Interestingly, his wife is also on a low cut. He went as far as calling her up to tell her that he was sending her a picture of a haircut she would be interested in. He said his wife enjoyed trying out different haircuts the way a professional chef enjoyed trying out recipes. I was amused at such obsession with haircuts and he said I wouldn’t understand. Of course, there was no way I would but I thanked him for all the attention, paid for what I bought and walked out of his shop. I walked into the shop next door, barely 10 steps from the previous shop and the reaction to my hair style by this s...
