“I been gone for a minute but now I'm back with the
jump off..." *does Lil Kim skank*
I'm bad, I know. So very bad. The thing is, I actually enjoy blogging a lot but once I get outta that routine, it’s so hard to get back again.
Its been a crazy few months man. Too much stuff to recap so you'll just have to bear with me…
I spent the first two weeks of August out of the UK. I went on the annual family 'holiday' to Nigeria and as per usual there was hardly ever a dull moment.

My mum celebrated her birthday out there so she had
a little gathering to mark the occasion. There was fried fish, fried meat, fried
chicken and fried turkey.
Being the oldest and the only girl out of her
children it was my duty to serve her friends some food. The conversation went
like this:
“Kemi, go to the back and ask everyone what they
would like with their rice”
“Why are you giving them a choice, they will eat
whatever we give them”
“Just go and ask”
So off I went, I got there and asked. Apparently I speak
really fast or sound proper English or something cos I had to repeat myself
three and a half times. When they finally understood what I was saying,
everyone made their order then one dude asked if there was roasted lamb, I actually
looked at him like this 0_o and was like “nah, we don’t have that so… fish,
chicken, turkey or meat?” #DPMO
When I told my grandma, she said that they were
lucky that we didn’t just make puff puff and give them pure water to drink… I
LOLd so hard cos I think part of her was being serious.
At this same gathering of my mums, one of her mates
brought her mate along. My mums
friend obviously didn’t tell her friend that it wasn’t a party party, more like a gisting session cos
the first thing homegirl said when she came in and saw me, my siblings and
cousins was “ah ah, what is this? I was hoping to find my husband here today!”
Now this was said in Yoruba and if you can speak/understand Yoruba, you will
know that it sounded too funny and if you’re not Yoruba then…
But yea man, it was a nice trip. Its always a
pleasure to see my family and spend some time sleeping under a ceiling fan and
eating fresh oranges. The only fly in the ointment is the random ‘casual’
enquiries into the status of my love life… #DropMeOut #CanILiveMyLifePlease
When I was out there, all I kept hearing was Davido‘Dami duro’ and that Azonto song, with that guy. My cousins challenged me to an
Azonto-off…they won *hangs head in shame*
One of my older cousins has identical twin
daughters…

They were cool and that yea but basically, about
seven minutes after this picture was taken, one of them kicked me in my throat,
it was a madness cos I don’t know which one did it so I had nobody to direct my
anger towards…
I’ll allow them though cos they’re sweet and they
were arguing with eachother and it made me laugh.
My Aunty did twist braids for me, so a special shout out to her! Also hol tite the Hausa man who gave me a free necklace and bracelet when I bought two bags off him in the market.
