Diary Of A Lagos Girl



I should be nice and listen to what this guy is saying. My head bowed a little with a noticeable smile on my face and with occasional shy glance I blink at him. The questions he asked about my academics are halfhearted but I can't help but notice the arrogance he is trying to suppress. Just about then a motor bike sped past and the lone passenger shouted my name. Instantly, my shyness was gone and I cheerfully shouted his name back. He is also one of my toasters just like Gbenga who I am currently chatting with and wants his application granted. I am even tired of all these guys ‘codedly’ dating me. Not that I don't want to be like Shade who has a stable boyfriend, but they all don't act responsible.
 Caleb smashed my previous phone after reading some text messages on it. He probably thought his money got the phone for me. He was amazed I moved on quickly from his pettiness. I got a brand new phone days later. It was even a newer model of the phone he smashed. Soji who got the phone for me was pissed at the attitude of Caleb. He wanted to confront Caleb but I dissuaded him by telling him Caleb is a miscreant angered because I wouldn’t return his greetings.


Now that those little girls are in higher institution, they wouldn't let us be. They are becoming unbecoming. It is a common knowledge that it is ‘ashawo’ work undergraduates do. I am certain their hair isn’t original Peruvian. I am not jealous of them but stating a fact. No matter what, I am a bigger girl than they are. Boys that I have dated and dusted, is who they roll with. Mtchew! Many don’t know my worth until they visit my Facebook wall. Come and see big boys begging me to accept their friend request. The ones I accept can’t stop thanking me and appreciating my beauty. Girls will always beef, that’s why I prefer many boyfriends. You won’t believe Sade who stays in our compound can’t even send me a friend request. She is always reluctant to greet or even respond to my greetings. By the time I learn to use that Instagram, they will know I have finally arrived. I heard it makes one beautiful like Beyonce and endowed like Toolz. Me, I don’t think I will use that twitter o. I heard bad-mouth people are too much there.
It is time to upgrade from local boys and seek for love and overdue attention from the wider internet ocean. I will pocket my pride and just ask one of those small girls to teach me how to use it. I will also use the opportunity to ask where they get their clothes and make their hair. In return I can tell them the broke ass boys and big-mouth boys to avoid in the area.
Ireti has gotten a car, a Toyota Spider. Proper Ashawo. I pray I don’t end up like o. She follows old men up and down. Which work does she do to be able to afford a car? Later, they will be going to church crying for husband.
If only Jaiye wasn’t in a serious relationship with that ‘omo mommy’. He is a fairly decent guy. I would have been his main chick and God knows marriage would have been certain by now. Marriage sha! Do I even think I am ready for marriage? Anything can still happen. I will pray and give him all he wants. I will even try to close-mark him and act jealous maybe he will develop feelings for me.
Those ones doing born-again, your secret is open o. I know I am not the holiest but why do these ones pretend? Even Ireti the Proper Ashawo is better than them. They will be using choir as a façade. Even the Choir master isn’t left out. He was sending me text messages and calling me with free call at night. Poor church rat! When his mate are sleeping and resting he is doing night call with me. He doesn’t even know his mate at all. I think it is because I attend that church. By the time I start attending Christ Embassy, maybe they will even see my brake light.

On to matter of importance. My subscription expires tomorrow, maybe this maga will pay. Let me chat with him
Hi loff. When will you be free to chat? I miss chatting and reading your lovely messages. I would be offline tomorrow as my subscription expires today. Missing you. Love love love kiss kiss”
