That Nigerian Nerd

Hello,Dia mi! It has been a long one week and I miss you terribly. Our conversations keep me going,so it breaks me that I had to be away for so long😪😪. Good news I'm here with you now. I know you can't wait to hear the big surprise I'm about to drop. I would suggest not eating so it does not drop from your mouth😂. Dia mi,tighten your seat belt and go with me on my bumpy ride. I was telling you how my "Prince Charming" shocked me with his actions at Jaw war. I was just settling down on a comfortable spot when my cellphone started ringing. It was my dear "Prince Charming", telling me to reserve a spot for him. It warmed my heart that he was coming and most importantly sitting near me. How naive I was😂. I waited and waited for "Prince Charming" to show up at the event. After a while, I gave up on hoping for his arrival. It turned out that he was a box of surprises. He called me just when I gave up on him. I was on top of the world. Finally,my ...

Hello,Dia mi! I trust that you have been doing fabulously well. It has been such a long time we've talked and I must apologize to you. I'm hopeful that I've been forgiven❤. I came up with a very interesting and controversial topic. It's the lockdown season and many of us have been feeling really lonely. It is inevitable for us to spend hours on social media talking to people. You know,even having longer conversations with some special people. Hold on! In case you haven't guessed,I'm talking about the pandemic effect. There have been cases of abrupt relationships,all caused by loneliness. Many people have started dating just to remove the loneliness wrapping itself around them.However, there's one big question. Are these people ready for the lovey dovey affair? Do they really want to commit? Will they maintain the bond even after normalcy is restored? So I came up with a few things to consider before you fall too deep. A refuge from loneliness: As...

Hello,Dia mi! I trust that you have been staying healthy. I also hope that you have been maintaining mental positivity this season. If you haven't started,this is the right time to❤. This conversation I'm triggering today is one that has a relative level of seriousness. Actually,it has been on my mind for months. So I decided to rant about it and here I am. I am here today to preach to you about seeing the light and following it. Many of us are following this light,I presume. However,this light isn't shining brightly enough and I needed to rant about it😂😂. My mission is to preach the correct spelling of words. I mean,we need to stop mixing things up. It has always been "I'm" and not "Am". "Am" is not used in the dictionary that way ,so why do we have to persist?😂. The spirit of correct English brought this to me and I will spread the word. In addition, "Their", "They're" and "There" mean tota...

Hello,Dia mi! How have you been doing?. It has been a lovely day so far,with the rain. After days of terrible heat,the heavens finally blessed us with rain🤭. I know that you have been longing for our conversations. Fortunately,I came to see you again for that juicy gist(Winks). Before we start,let's get ourselves a cup of coffee. Are you all covered up now? Excellent. I will kick off from the magnificent incident I was telling you about. To be honest,this event was magnificent in every sense of the word. It was this event that fueled my stupidity. You could even call it hope,if you're an optimist😂. Jaw war is a very big event in the University of Ibadan. I mean,everyone has attended it or at least wants to attend. Just in case you're wondering, Jaw war was that magnificent event. It was my first time attending it and I was very excited,thanks to my friend. My excitement made me sell the idea to " Prince Charming" and he agreed. How happy I was! It was a chance t...

Hello,Dia mi! Its been a really hectic week for your peperempe. However,I reminded myself that I will always choose you. I trust that you have been staying hopeful. Before my juicy gist begins,you have to get comfortable (Serves chicken and chips). Are you mentally prepared for my little tale? I bet you are. I guess that's my cue to start the merry go round😂. After leaving the library, I instantly went to the location my "Prince Charming" decided. When I got there,I didn't see him instantly because he was playing a trick on me. When he finally showed up,I was so ecstatic. I hadn't seen him for days, so it was like the highlight of my night. We started strolling down the road,even up to St. Anne's hostel. I normally don't like trekking but a crush conquers all things. I was totally blushing inside and was in default happiness mode. I didn't even pay much attention to his motivational speech. All that mattered was that moment. After all this,we strolled...

Hello,Dia mi! How are you doing? I trust that you have been staying mentally positive in this pandemic. We all know its a stressful period,especially for youths. The world changed as we knew it. We could not go out again,hug or visit our loved ones. To make matters worse,some people have even lost their jobs. For most of us,we are unable to get enough free time because of an everlasting list of chores. So I decided to come up with five ways on how to maintain your sanity. Let's go! DON'T PUT TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON YOURSELF!!! :   I understand that there has been some sort of productivity contest on social media. You have been feeling the pressure to achieve many things and it's been overwhelming.  Now,calm down!. I'm here to tell you that its okay to relax at times. Do it at your own pace. If you only manage to read two books, you have been staying productive.What matters most is maintaining your mental health,Dia mi❤. REJUVENATE YOURSELF: What do I mean?. Treat yourself ...

Hello,Dia Mi! I trust that you have been doing excellently while I was away. Going away was inevitable for me because I had to regain my mental strength. I'm very happy to be back again. Tomorrow's Monday and I know we're all in the mood of work. However,you should relax with something special. That's why I'm back with my juicy gist tonight (Did I just hear somebody cheer?). What I'm about to tell you will make your hearts tingle. Let's drive off then. Hold up a second! You have to get in the mood first, Dia mi.(Get ready for a bumpy ride😂). So I was telling you how "Prince Charming" and I decided to have our little celebration in front of my hostel. We found a cool shade to sit under( I'M GETTING EMOTIONAL!).  He told me about how happy he was for me that I won the election. It delighted me that my crush was very supportive of me. I was doing cart wheels deep down inside. After he said this,we stayed quiet for some minutes. Suddenly,he broke ...

Hello,Dia mi! It has been a long three days since I last talked to you. How time flies! I'm sure I must have missed a whole lot. Fortunately,I'm back for good❤. Before I continue my juicy story,I want to make sure you have washed your hands. Awesome!!! Hold on,I think you should sanitize it too(I'm very extra). I bet you're now ready for another trip in my world. In our last conversation,I mentioned an important event that happened in my life. Just in case you forgot, "Prince Charming" and I are members of AIESEC. This is why this event was very significant in my life at least. I had decided to apply for the role of a vice president in AIESEC,all thanks to "Prince Charming". Applying for it was originally scary,when I thought about it. However, "Prince Charming" was a rock for me in that period. I will admit that his support led to a bigger reduction in my common sense.  When I finally applied for the role,he kept supporting me and made me ...

Hello, Dia mi! It's been such a long long time since I've been away. I trust that you have been staying at the top of your game. I also hope that you have been finding time to chill(Winks). I know you can't wait to hear the next part of my juicy gist. But before we start,I have to take some deep breaths (Breathes in and out). This part of the gist is hard,I won't lie. However,have you washed those hands?. You absolutely have to, Dia mi!.  So I told you how my "Prince Charming" and I started on the journey that ruined any type of relationship we might have had. After leaving our meeting,we decided to stray about instead of going to our hostel. God knows I liked walking around then😂😂. As we were strolling, "Prince Charming" brought out his hand for me to hold (In my mind,I had hit the jackpot). It was that moment my common sense left me. It was my idea of a romantic evening as "Prince Charming" held my hand till we stopped strolling. Well,w...

  Hello,Dia mi! The sun is shining so brightly,I know its going to be a good day. There's more good news. Its the weekend (Yay!). Even the lockdown can't get our spirits down❤. So I woke up this morning thinking about something really critical,something that applies to you and I. Is there any reason why we behave the way we do?. Is it predetermined?. Is it as a result of our environment?. These were the endless questions running through my mind. I've always known I was a melancholic. I mean,the constant brooding face and introverted attitude were enough hints. But had I ever cared to know more about myself?. Have you ever made the effort to discover your temperament?. Good question!! So this morning brought me a startling realization,thanks to Google's graciousness. I was dumbfounded. How could it be possible that a site would know all my exact character traits. Did someone spy on me?. I read on and saw that it was not rocket science. Rather,it is geneticall...

Hello,Dia mi! I came back again because I couldn't bear to leave my story hanging. I trust that you have been staying safe amidst this craziness. Your peperempe has also been trying to stay mentally positive😊. The experience I'm about to reveal may or may not throw you off your seats. At the time,I had no idea what was coming. I believe this would be your reaction too. Are you all set now? Ahn ahn,calm down. You have to prepare yourself mentally. Breathe in and out,dia mi. Please make sure you're not eating anything peppery, so that it won't end in tears. Are you ready? Are you set? Let's go! My "Prince Charming" and I became regular texters,if you can remember. And the next thing that happened made me happy,actually. He asked me out on a date, my first date actually (Shh,don't tell anyone. Top secret). I started planning how I would look,as if I was a bride. I'm sure you understand how I felt. The long awaited day arrived (Finally!). I must admit...

  Hello, Dia mi! How are you doing?. I must admit that I have missed you very much. I trust that you have been washing those hands and warding off the negative vibes of COVID-19. So,it's 2pm and I'm still up(I know I'm a nightcrawler). And the best option was to have a conversation with you😊, which is why I'm here. By this time, I'm sure you're wondering what direction my gist will take. Trust me,you'll be shocked. Have you washed your hands? Have you wiped them clean? Hey,I caught you! Don't you touch that face. Now, sit back, tighten your seat belt and prepare yourself for an exhilarating ride. Good! In my last post,I told you how I was subconsciously setting myself up for a heartbreak. Well, that heartbreak was really fast(Sniffles). And it was all my fault. My "Prince Charming" was just a willing victim. After my meeting,I packed my things,had short conversations with one or two people and moved on with my normal uneventful life. How wrong...

Hello,Dia mi! So its been such a long day for me. I've had an hectic day and right from 5pm, I've felt like dropping off to sleep😂😂. However, I couldn't stand to disappoint y'all. I just had to turn up. I'm 100 percent definite someone is dancing on their chair. Sorry,make that 30 percent. Whatever it is you're doing, I'm sure you can't wait for the hot juicy gist I'm about to serve you😊😊. Hey! Wait there! Did you think It would come out that easily. Ahn Ahn,dia mi. Farabale, you'll get the tip of the gist.  I'm always in my nicest mood, so I might even make it into a series😂. Did somebody just cheer???. THAT'S IT, BABY❤. Are you ready?. Are you sure you're ready???. Now, wash your hands,sit back,grab a snack and tune in to the beginning of a love story that never came to be. In my last post, I talked about this guy that never left my brain. FAM, he's still stuck in there😭😭. And I'm going crazy. And this is where the st...
