I'm obviously not entirely comfortable putting her face on here. I'll see how I feel about it in the morning. Having said that I like this over edited version, my eyelashes look pretty and she looks good without a nose and a top lip. Grandmama Afam’s got dementia. I realise that this is a rather...

The title of this article was rather unabashedly stolen from the Nicki Minaj song Starships, where she sings or raps or rap sings (I can't say what it is that she does exactly, I'm not expert. And even if I was, it's really difficult to analyse or assess something that has been so thoroughly autotuned,...

Originally on Bellanaija Before I begin in earnest, I feel that it’s essential that I give you some information about me. You should be grateful. I don’t do this often. To find out even a smidgen about me, most people have to read all 200 or so articles on my blog, and glean from that how much...

Originally posted on http://voixmagazine.tumblr.com/ The conversation about twerking has reached its climax. Actually, I can’t say that it has for sure, but I certainly hope so. The only way we could talk more about twerking than we are already would be if Miley Cyrus assaulted President...

While it is true that Nigeria is a rather homophobic country, attempts are being made to rebrand it as a country of the daft, lazy and incurably addled. I suppose that this is slightly preferable to being homophobic. In fact, all of those things make homophobia excusable. Now, I'm not pulling all of...

So... There's this immensely popular Nigerian musician called Ice Prince. Well, I'll be honest, he's popular, but he's no Iyanya, Dbanj, P square or Wiz Kid. His real name is Panshak Zamani. It's a hell of a name. I wish I was called Panshak Zamani, instead I've got to make do with Afam. How pedestrian...

The bulk of you must think that all there is to blogging, is sitting in front of a word processor all day, hammering out words and coming up with crazy ideas for future content. While a lot of that is true, the blogger must also look the part. In my experience, ideas for future content do not come...

I can see why those who do not blog would be fascinated by it. Good blogs reek of a certain grace and nonchalance that is often mistaken for ease. And it does look easy. You may look at a fashion blog and think, "I can put an outfit together better than she can" and you might read a wordy blog and think,...

It's a selfie. I know it isn't Selfie Saturday, so please forgive me. My duvet means that much to me. I like that it smells like I smelled when I was a student. I don't smell the same anymore, and that's sad. It's the sense of an ending really. Even though the end has come and gone, I keep flicking...

I once read that there are only two sorts of women in the world. There are the mysterious ones and there are the straightforward ones. The mysterious ones are so steeped in mystery that every glance, every twinkle and every step strikes confusion into the hearts of men and women alike, the straightforward...

Level One: There's a petition sweeping the blogosphere. The petition asks us to support one, Princess Jewel Essien, who was expelled by her secondary school, Loyola Jesuit College, 3 weeks before graduation, for using (and having) a mobile phone on campus. All of that would have ended there, had Princess...
