I have a new short story out! 🥳
It’s set in Ibadan which is a city I dearly, dearly love.
I had so much fun writing it, and I know you’ll have even more fun reading it. ❤️
In a rather surprising turn of events, I just found out that my mother's dog named "Max" is actually not Maxwell.
The dog's name, according to my mother, is "Maximum Protection."
"Max" for short.
Simply courtesy when you order a Uber/Bolt.
1. Greet the driver
2. Ask if he/she can locate you
3. Advise to follow the map
4. Notify him/her that you'd be waiting.
"Where are you" is not the first thing you should be telling your Uber driver (service provider).
Be polite.

List of foods I would never eat on a first date?
Burger.
Shawarma.
Chicken wings.
Draw soup.
I’m sorry, but these are foods I eat with my door locked. Me and the food, let us strip naked and disgrace each other privately. 🙏🏾
Nawa oh. I wanted to go drink water in the kitchen, but I mistakenly toasted and ate 8 slices of bread.
The architecture of this kitchen is really very problematic.
💔💔
I applied to six schools for my master's degree.
Got rejected by 5, waitlisted by 1 and then finally rejected.
I cried so much, but we move. A Happening Babe must happen regardless 🙏🏾
Hi, it's me Doja Cat! An elephant snatched my phone, so I'm tweeting with Kunle's phone for now.
Yes, I'll come. 🙈
Purrr. Meow. Let me be your woman, woman woman woman. 💋

"Hi guys, welcome to my channel! Today, I'll be breaking my silence on what happened between me and Jesus Christ.
This is a 3-part vlog, so don't forget to hit the like button and subscribe so you don't miss anything."
It's funny when people reply this way, tbh.
For someone to inform you that they are now in your area, I'd assume that you both must have reached a level in your friendship/communication that makes them think you'd be willing to meet them once they're in your area.

I don't know if it's me, but these jokes about Maduka Okoye being "incompetent" because he's a "fine boy" are one-kind.
Someone referred to him as "ring light boy" and it's just... Idk. I could be overthinking stuff sha. Make I kip chut.
If you open my office bag, here’s a list of things you’re likely to find:
1. Agege bread wrapped in black nylon.
2. Hairbrush.
3. Wet lips.
4. Ankara for my tailor.
5. Laptop and charger (so it won’t be like I’m my working)
6. Bottled water, to drink after eating my bread.
I do be having foolish dreams sha. Tell me why I dreamt that I followed Rihanna to her family house for Christmas and her mother served us yam and stew?
In my debut piece for Al Jazeera,
@OpeAdetayo1
& I wrote about the security challenges surrounding the NYSC scheme, the deplorable state of the camps and how the programme itself has now become a pipeline for cheap labour.
Please read and share. ❤️
When Nigeria’s National Youth Service Corps was created in 1973, it aimed to mend the wounds of the civil war and inculcate a spirit of nation-building.
But is it still worthwhile today? ⤵️
I'm pleased to announce that I worked in the writer's room of the AfricaMagic TV series, "Venge."
Thank you to
@jessykarh
, head writer extraordinaire. ❤️
"Venge" airs every weekday at 8:30pm on AfricaMagic.
Please support Happening Babe by watching. 🙏🏾
Thanks! 🥳
I beat the urge to cook beans and plantain at midnight. 🙏
I ended up eating 4 slices of bread toasted with butter and sardine and a slice of pizza, but that's beside the point.
This tweet almost ruined my friends marriage when she posted it on her whatsapp status. Her fiance wanted to quit the relationship. No be everything we suppose use play
Also, these films with young Nigerian protagonists are so full of lies. Everyone lives in a fancy apartment in Lekki and yet barely go to work.
How do they afford rent? Some of them even drive fancy cars.
Where una dey see am?
TL asleep? Now I can tweet about this time I was put on a relationship waiting list in Lagos.
This person told me I was number three on the list, and let me not even lie, I was willing to wait.
Ah. Happening Babe in the mud.
I've showered and worn my ashawo shorts. I will now proceed to parade the entire length and breadth of this area.
If my market does not sell, I will ring bell on my head.
"Gbanjo gbanjo! 2k per night!"
I'm here again oh. 🙃
Due to popular demand, I'm looking to talk to people who were initiated into witchcraft through food. Be it in primary school, secondary or university.
It's for my next

THE MORNING ASSEMBLY IS THE WORST PART OF IT!
You're in Dreamland and the next thing you hear, "Good morning Jesus, good morning Lord!"
Now y'all hold up. I'm still in this world of sin, where the hell are we greeting baby Jesus??
@KejiAdewumi
Toh. There's also a thing of assuming because he's fine, he's "pretty" and therefore "soft/effeminate" and cannot handle things as "manly" as football.
I could be projecting, but too many things bubble beneath the surface of such seemingly harmless banter.
Random, but I'm grateful to everyone who retweets my call for stories when I put them out, and to everyone who trusts me enough to share their stories with me.
I am grateful. Thank you for believing in me, and for engaging with my work.
♥️
Rita Dominic's rent was due and her landlord had already cut her light, packed her load outside and was about to put a padlock on her door when she took this role.
