My Girlfriend is a Boy!

This title is also confusing for me. The topic it begs for is also a very sensitive one that I really have to tread softly here. I truly cherish my readers and wouldn't want to say anything that will hurt
their sensibilities even when it bothers on the senseless or sensible too.


Everything still boils down to the one recurring theme I have always
had, TOLERANCE.

It's a simple two-edged word which means you allow for my difference as I allow for yours. But the sight of two men(?) kissing deeply on a
bench in a park, while I was taking a late afternoon walk back in Europe, hardly shows any respect for my own difference.

I wish to make this write-up short in order not to say what I shouldn't say.
But come to think of it, the most astounding (I'm trying not to use
the word "absurd") situation for a man like me is to find myself being
asked out by a guy. I don't know, first hand how ladies feel about
being "chyked" by humans who bear the same physical features as they.
For the sake of my understanding your own difference, kindly do some
home work and find out whether I am into what you are into before
proceeding to check me out.

One of my interesting sights of Europe was in Paris: a guy checking
out another who, obliviously is checking a girl out. Just wondering
how we fill out official documents now. Is it still male or female?

"My Husband washes my Undies"

My country is indeed an interesting place! I read with consternation as a couple of women reportedly emerged on social media to announce to the world what their spouses do and whatnots. I believe the whole noise came off one of the events on the ongoing BBNaija show where one of the contestants reportedly washed the pants of his love interest. And the dying-to-be-distracted throng of Nigerian youths started another session of tantrum throwing on the internet over whether Neo (so is his name) should have or have not washed Vee's (I hope am correct) panties. And the stuff even made it to  Premium Times  and BBC .  So much noise about nothing, if you ask me! This is not the first time this is happening. In a previous season of BBNaija, another housemate sparked controversies for washing the undies of his love interest. A lot of internet perfectionists came out with condemnations or adulations. Others came with nothing. I call it the dying-to-be-distracted throng. The mass of Nero'

Why Guys Don't Propose Fast Enough

http://www.reception-wedding.com/wedding_rings.htm I have been refusing to blog on this for a long time for fear of being misunderstood. But the barrage of complaints for a number of affected friends has not abated. Let me use this story to buttress my point. Please note that the names have been changed not to point at any individual living or dead. Adaku has always been a reserved girl. Right through Secondary School and her early university days, she kept away from associating with certain kind of friends especially girls who do not think like she does and guys. Her upbringing has been under the strict and conservative instructions of her parents. But in the university she meets Haruna, a handsome, intelligent and promising young man who was a year ahead of her in the University. One thing leads to another and before long, they were dating steadily. Their relationship continued from her 3rd year in the university till seven years afterwards. Now, Adaku isn't very sure

Learning Deutsch

The first time we arrived purposely to learn German, we were so enthusiastic. For me, I haven't really sat down to learn a new language, perhaps because there are no formalised institutions for learning Nigerian languages as in Germany. And that strikes me as odd! No one seems to have discovered that we could actually create formalised outlets for learning some, if not all, of our 250 languages. If that had existed, I could have spent time learning good Hausa formally in the six years that I spent teaching in Gombe.  But again, there is yet another snag: why would one pay, sometimes heavily, to learn a language that perhaps has little or no global presence? People have been learning German, French, Spanish and Portuguese, and they are now learning Chinese even in Europe. Why? The people who own those languages have some value or so they think, that those who are learning their language want. Take a look at English language. Even with Brexit, a lot of European nations are still sc
