A.M.A Writes

Image credit: memegenerator.net Hi guys. I know this title sounds a little off but by the time I am done with this post you guys could probably help me come up with a better title for it. You're probably wondering, what is she going to talk about again today. Well keep reading to find out. I don't mean to brag but I have always been one of those academically brilliant kids in school. You know those kids that win so many awards at the end of the school year and some parents start telling their children "does she have two heads?".  😂😂 I still believe I am even though it's a tad bit tougher to keep up with it in the university. Anyways a few days back, we were meant to have a test. Studying all night is not my thing. I usually dedicate two or three hours to study and when I am done I know I achieved something. After the test (which I think I aced btw), we were to have another. I was talking with a coursemate and then somehow the topic of the last test and h...

Photo Credit: www.giwaspeaks.com African ladies who propose to their guys. What do you guys think about it? It has suddenly started becoming a trend on social media with ladies taking things into their hands as some would say and proposing to their men. I recently saw a viral picture of a lady doing this and I am held in awe of her courage. Common to ask all these small boys out they will start using you to do shakara or taking you for granted because in their church mind, you are being loose. With this trend of African women asking their men to marry them various views arise. Some don't feel this is proper. They keep quoting this verse of the bible: Proverbs 18:22 as their reason. For those who aren't familiar with the Bible I would paraphrase it for you. Basically that place says that he who finds  a good wife has found a good thing. In essence people who are against this trend are thus saying that the Bible only agrees with a man finding  his wife not his wife findin...

Hey A.M.A Writes blog readers. We really do have to come up with something catchier like BN readers or something. That aside, I hope your week has been good. Mine has been awesome. I got to catch up on lost sleep these past few days I got home. School has really been a mad house. But that's not what I am here for. The Headies 2016 held yesterday was not without its usual drama. In the 2015 Headies, it was all about Olamide drunkenly coming on stage to air his grievances that Lil Kesh didn't win the award he was nominated for. This time around we didn't have any producer coming to the stage to air his grievances about his signed act not winning an award. We had something quite different. A viral video has been going round of Wizkid totally and completely snubbing Eva Alordiah's fiance when he tried to hug him. If you haven't seen the video yet, you can watch it  here . Now this doesn't really come as a surprise to me because I have always thought Wizkid was too...

Hi guys. It has been a while. A really long one at that. I mean for the duration of my absence Trump won the US elections (somehow I always knew that most Americans had issues upstairs), Lilian Usoro and Ubi Franklin's marriage is in trouble and a bit more recently, our dear aunty Toke has become an author. So quite a lot has happened. I know Toke's book has been released a while back and i didn't want to say anything about it in addition to the fact that I barely had any time but right now somehow my big mouth can not keep shut. The buzz on social media was mad and finally, finally......wait for it.. She admitted she was bleaching. You know that's my favorite part in all these sage and gist that was unfolding as the nook got released. She finally admitted she was bleaching. To all those out there I might have mentioned it to, tada! in your face bitches. Anyways back to what this post is about. Although I haven't quite read  the book, I have seen e...

1 year later. John was standing at the altar with his father beside him standing as his best man. He looked around the audience and saw his mother with the biggest gele he had ever seen, dabbing her eyes with her handkerchief. If not for the seriousness of the occasion he would have laughed. Mummy Dele could not believe her son was finally getting married. He turned his eyes away from his mother and saw his baby sister. She had adjusted to things properly after her husband had been prosecuted and received a jail term of 15 years for spearheading the kidnap of Cynthia his soon-to-be wife and her friend Rachel. Their eyes met and se gave him a thumbs up. Lanre was with and she made him waved to John. Then, he heard the processional “here comes the bride” hymn and looked up ahead of him to see Cynthia in her beautiful white wedding gown walking slowly towards him with her father while everyone else stood up as she entered. He beamed, grinning from ear to ear. Today was officiall...

When the doorbell rang, Cynthia didn’t know whether to answer it or not. The events of the day had taken a toll on her but yet she couldn’t sleep. She walked to the door and asked who it was. “Hey. It’s me John.” The voice behind the door said. She cautiously opened the door just a little bit to see the person. After the day’s events, she was learning how to be super safety conscious. When she saw his face and saw that it was john, she opened the door a little bit wider to let him in. She hurried him to get in quickly and locked the door quickly with the bolt and the key so that in case anyone was following him they wouldn’t be able to get in. “How are you doing?” John asked after she had locked the door and was now seated. “Honestly, I don’t know. But I’d be fine. I just need to get over the shock of everything that happened within the past 24 hours.” She replied “By the way, what should I get you? Water? Soft drink? Anything?” “No nothing. I don’t want you to stres...

At the sighting of the first light of day, John got up and went to brush his teeth. His sleep all through the night was fitful so there was no point staying in bad tossing and turning. He had his bath hurriedly and sat waiting for the morning sun so that he could head out. He felt so powerless sitting at home waiting for the police to do something. He paced back and forth in his room. He couldn’t get why he was so restless. Cynthia was just a really good friend. His dad seemed to think otherwise though. He tried imagining his life without Cynthia in it and somehow he couldn’t even form the image in his head. He guess he had thought she would always be around. Now the thought of anything happening to her frightened the hell out of him. Shit! I might have just found the one lady to be serious with.  He thought to himself. His mum was going to freak out. Her son might get married as she had hoped and prayed and fasted for. He chuckled. But hat would only happen if she was found...
