Indulge 6 (On Fate in Movies)
The only person Fate has brought to me is the woman roasting corn at my junction. She is God sent😭
On Dogs
I feel I am a weird person for so many reasons, let me tell you one of them. I so badly want to get a dog, like a puppy, but anytime I see a dog on the street, I run or look for a different route. How am I going to get a dog if I keep running at the sight of even a puppy. I need help. Also, I saw a dog for sale on Twitter for 400k????? 400k? Why? Would I eat the dog when it gets older? Why is it so costly? I’m sorry but we are in Buhari’s administration, everything is costly. Anyways, if you have a dog and you can sell it for 2k or 5k, please send me a message. Not all those sickly looking dogs o, the ones that look like ajebo, hairy and fresh, you get? And colour white too😁 Or better still, if your dog wan born, reach out me, you will be surprised how fast I can run when taking a puppy from it’s mother.
Fine dog like this one, i’ll buy it for N1500. No reduction!

On Fate in Movies
I was watching a show (I can't remember the name because I just made it up, maybe I should go into Script writing) where the plot revolved around love and fate. They were co-workers in the series, and there was a rule at their job that said, "NO DATING AMONG COWORKERS." Workers should not date each other under any circumstances. But you're familiar with all these romantic shows and their obsession with Fate (I think FATE works extremely hard in romantic movies). Back to the story, the two main characters fell in love and couldn't keep their hands off each other. When the office found out, they were instructed to either cut it off or quit.
They both agreed to stay put and end their romance, but FATE intervened, and they realized it wasn't going to work. They attempted to battle the office for establishing such a rule, but were unsuccessful and eventually resigned so that they could continue to love each other for the rest of their lives. Now, none of this sits well with me.
I'd like for these films to quit giving us false hope since none of this works in real life.
Fate doesn't work that way, because in the real world, if I like a guy and he works in the same office as me, and there's a rule like that, I'd sooner give up on that love than resign from a job I worked so hard for.
Love and a job are two of the most difficult things to come by in Nigeria. After money! I desperately want to fight for genuine love like they do in movies, but not while my job is at stake. We'll let the love rest for a while before we start jamming again.
Now, in terms of the movie versions of Fate, when is it going to deliver my secondary school crush to me, because it felt like we were destined to be together back in my school days.
Where is the man who was supposed to tie my shoelaces for me or the one who was supposed to stand in the rain with an umbrella over my head? Is it possible that I am not deserving? I am yet to fall in love with someone who picks up my handbag when it falls in the store and we stare at each other for 30 minutes before we realise that we are blocking people from getting the salt they came to buy. Where was Fate when I saw that nice tall guy at the MTN office the other day, and why can't I see him again? Did he just vanish into space? I'll be waiting for you, Fate, come find me.
I guess I've watched too many Korean dramas, the recent one I watched which I couldn't complete (titled "The girl who sees scents") because it was so cheesy. There was a part where the gentleman caressed the girl's head and she blushed, and all I could think was, "If I dey date person and he touches my head like this in the name of romance, I fit elbow am." Please don't touch my head!!
Anyway, I need to quit watching romantic shows because they have raised my expectations so high that if my man isn't willing to battle the corrupt government to safeguard our love, I'm moving on to the next. And it's over if the next doesn't go to the sky to get me a star. Period!

I went around the city of Abuja recently on some personal business and all I can say is there is money in this country. I can’t say more than that. Wait, i’ll say more than that. I now fully understand why everyone is trying to make crazy money irrespective of the process. It’s depressing when you tour around the city of Abuja and see houses and cars that you know you won’t be able to afford except you’re as rich as Dangote. But still, there’s no manual to all this things. Take it easy while hustling and don’t run faster than your time. Hustle right. Hustle hard. Hustle SMART.
Those romantic movies or shows are long overdue for y'all to stop but everything is time so I guess this is the right time 😅.
