Being the villain

Who is a villain?👹👹👹




A villain is a bad guy. The evil stepmother that locks the princess in a really far away temple, the one that cast away the princess in a sleep to last for eternity… Anyways that was my definition of a villain
As a child I always hated the villains in every story. I couldn’t fathom why the villain was so evil and no matter how handsome they could be sometimes I just couldn’t love them… Urrgghh they were so evil.
Do villains exist?? Or are villains in one way or the other people that are misunderstood. Can life really be about good and evil...? Black and white... what of the little grey in the middle. Let’s leave the grey in the middle for the villains that were misunderstood...
Judge the story below with your mind as plain as a blank canvas, not like the 12-year-old me. Black/white/grey?
When kemi was going to the university, her secondary school friends dreaded her school. So she literally knew no one, she knew she had to make friends from the scratch. Roommates were the easiest links to go and fortunately for her she had the best roommates. The school shuffled them every three months sadly. During her first year, the second semester she met her second set of roommates; Emem, yetunde and funmi. Yetunde as they fondly called her “yetty” was her best roommate and they became very close and could talk about most things. She was cute, very understanding and very beautiful. After that semester they were shuffled again and she had another set of roommates and couldn’t really keep the bond with yetty.  
About a year later, she had a best friend Collins. Collins and she were extremely close. She could tell him everything and anything. He made her laugh and they fought so hard many times. Months into their friendship, he started eyeing yetty and of course, she blessed the union with the hope of being able to ensure that he doesn’t even hurt yetty. It went pretty for a while until things started to go south. 
Collins and kemi were course mates and best friends. They were really close and became all this everywhere together kind of friends. At first, it didn’t mean much to yetty but after a while, it started causing issues and issues until they eventually broke up. Her main reason for ending it was that she always felt that she wasn’t the priority to Collins but kemi was.

The breakup happened during the holiday and kemi and Collins live in the same state while Yetty stays out of the country. With calls every day between kemi and Collins during their four months break and several visits to each other’s house, slowly but surely the best friends started to fall in love. Not minding who they were hurting in the process. Nothing physical happened between them and they are still just best friends but now back in school, guilt is most likely going to swallow kemi up and spit her out alive.

So TBL JUDGES'
ques;  is kemi in the white area;
CHANT; she is innocent and not to be blamed 
or
ques;  is kemi in the black area;
CHANT; BOO!!! She is the villain, we hate you kemi!!!..
Or 
ques; is kemi like Maleficent. misunderstood and should be given a shot?


Much love TBL squad…

Dating a feminist

*DUSTS COBWEBS* I'm sorry for the disappearance guys.. Hey TBL squad, I have really missed you all so much 💓. "A feminist" is a word that when mentioned just immediately rubs people the wrong way, i start hearing statements that genuinely makes me confused. "i believe in equal rights but abeg, I'm not a feminist" "feminism is about speeches not action" "i don't want to be called a feminist, it seems like i am a fighter." and so much more. today I'm here to debunk all the myths pertaining being feminist and most especially how dating one should feel like. When asked who a feminist is; some people automatically think, it's a group of angry women who hate men or some wannabe woke woman  or a millennial woman who wants to be above a man. what better place to educate feminism if not a Boss lady blog. So here we go TBL Squad, stick with me as we discuss the common misconceptions and practical applications of feminis

The cherry not The icing

Hello TBL squad, The road from church had this T-junction, the route  home was on the left while Mr Biggs was on the right. After service when we got to the junction, my dad always asked left or right, even when he knew the answer already. we always shouted right with so much joy.   When we chose our cake for Sunday brunch, I picked based on how attractive the icing looked not caring the flavor at that moment or if it had a cherry on top or not. The icing is what makes a cake really attractive. if various vanilla cakes are kept on a stand, with vanilla being your best flavor, you'd pick based on how pretty the icing looks.  The cherry on the cake is that extra finishing, the final toppings, like the twinkles, or the maltesars on top or the Oreo's.  Take note, that without the cherry, the cake is still very much a cake.    In my excitement, I probably wouldn’t have  noticed a cherry-less cake but of course it won’t hurt to have the cherry. Now imagine a cake with

Intern!

ÓMÓ BUTTER IN THE STREETS! As my third day being an intern, I already had a routine. Wake up by 5:00 AM, work out for 15 minutes, start making my brothers breakfast finish like about 6:30, go and bath be ready by like 7:02 AM, then the driver takes me to work but of course the third day just had to have a twist. Woke up later than usual due to some work assignments, so I was leaving the house by 7:20 AM hoping to be able to beat any traffic that I may see and get to work before 8:00 AM or few minutes past. Like about ten minutes away from home, which is quite far already due to Abuja roads but not too far because of early morning "Go-slow". We were in traffic, I was on my laptop trying to finish up on my work assignment when the driver tells me to wear my seat belt because of the road safety officers that were in front. I tried to be sly about it, I honestly tried 😅😅 but it wasn’t good enough because the road safety officer still  stopped us. The man now started going o
