Hello Beautiful People of TTB, How are you doing? I have come again o with my beautiful wahala .   Today I'm going to he talking about a Nigeria all time favorite => Superstition, Superstition is one of the Wonderful things that makes us Nigerian and even also African  Superstition is any belief or pratice that is considered irrational or supernatural , it mostly arises from ignorance, Growing up I believed in so much Superstition because I grew up with a lot of Old people and we all know that the favorite pastime of elderly people is telling stories or wars they didn't witness and superhero feat they didn't achieve and of course sharing superstitions , This are the wonderful things that makes us love them anyway. But most times especially when we get older we stopped to think and laugh at how we were scammed. One time in primary school, I had sore throat, this one was a lot more painful than the regular one as my throat was visibly swollen, I managed to go to scho...

Your Mind = Endless Possibilities   Hello beautiful people of TTB, How's your week going? It's the end of the month y'all! Did I hear somebody say Salary week? Yesso is the time we wear our sheepish smile and do the things we love because money is in our account lol, unfortunately this feeling doesn't last long, so Enjoy Guys! Enjoy responsibly.   Today, I'm going to be talking about our mind, I know this is a very weird topic to be talk about but somehow this is the most important thing about our whole existence. I saw a Video the other day about a great magician that reigned around the 90's, he was a really great magician, he did all sort of amazing magic, he constantly boasted that he could break free from the greatest prison in the world in seconds without any help, everybody wanted to see that happen, people were even willing to pay thousands to see that happen and then finally, the world most secure prison took him up on his claim and offered him the...

Loving the You that you are.   Hello Lovely Readers of TTB, I know I deserve to be flogged and stripped of my Writer title but please Biko, Forgive me as the Bible commands *Puppy eyes*.   I'm hear and I'm here for all my people that think that their skin colour or body type is a mistake. Well People of God and atheists too lol, your skin Colour and body type is perfect. No, I do not come with Cliche qoutes and stories about loving and owning who you are, I come as one who was of the opinion that my skin colour and body type was a curse and of course this song is totally inspired by Beyonce andWizkid's Brown skiing Girl ! *Dancing zanku off the beat* Growing up Being lightskinned wasn't easy for me especially as I was the only lightskinned person in my house and somehow I had managed to only make dark skinned friends, I had constantly heard people call my friends and siblings Black beauty, Black and shining, Caramel skin, chocolate skin and all other wonderful co...

Hello wonderful people of TTB, it’s your off and on girl like Nepa lol, I’m sorry but this adult life be doing the most to me , it’s the end of the financial year at the office so work has been extra hard, I always come home tired, I have nothing in my head but numbers and we all know that alphabets and numbers do not mix but I have found this series that I began a while ago and I’m just going to share it for the next few weeks so you people don’t forget me completely ( I know some people have already, Smh). So, Enjoy I guess lol My Butterfly story The butterfly is a fascinating insect, from it's birth to it's grown adult stage, every phase in the life and growth of a butterfly is a magical one. Just like my life, every stage in my life has different battles and I always end up victorious, this is my butterfly story I grew up in the village, but I had always been a city girl (how's that possible? I hear) I always dreamed of being in the city, I always acted like I was...

Colored It’s 1:43am. I’m lying down, scared. It’s dark. But no, it’s not the dark I’m afraid of. The only sound I hear is the rotation of the ceiling fan. I can literally feel my heart thumping in my chest. I’m angry too,really angry. I can feel my eyes welling up again. I must not shed a single tear, I tell myself. I get up from the couch, I really don’t know where I’m going. I stare at my reflection in the mirror and I’m thinking, ‘why do they hate us so much?’. I’m still staring at my reflection, I take my hair strand after strand and pull at it gently. I’m tempted to hate it, a couple of days earlier, I was so in love with my hair. I recently decided to grow it out naturally, I remember when I took that decision, in retrospect, I was looking into a mirror as well. Seems kind of funny now recalling it, I just kept wondering then, if that was how how was supposed to look, you know, if that’s how God envisaged I looked when he created me, plus I just wanted to explore anyway. Perh...

Hi guys!, How is everyone doing? I trust we are all having an amazing week so far. I’ve been reading a lot of crazy messages on joro this days and it leaves me baffled more than entertained especially at the rate at which love is getting harder and harder to find, at this stage I don’t know which is easier to find True Love or a camel passing through the eye of a needle. It’s so sad to think that all that matters now is sex, money and flaunting what we don’t have on social media, it saddens me because I’m such a hopeless romantic and I’m beginning to think that my husband is somewhere stuck with the wrong girl, sending ‘Dear Joro’ Every morning. I would love for somebody to sit me down and explain what went wrong, when and where, I think that ‘somebody’ can only be God because the remaining people are busy doing turninoniown, demoning and joining all manner of association up and down. I think most people have simply refused to believe in love for reasons best known to them but the...

Hello guys!! Is it too late to wish you a happy new year? Happy new year anyway, beautiful readers of TTB, I hope this new year brings us lots and lots of laughter, genuine laughter and love .

Today, I’m just going to be talking about 2019, plans, goals and all the New Year push that you need! Lol please don’t roll your eyes , I’m sure we must have heard over a million and one quotes, motivational talks and even had your pastor preach about pushing for the new year and of course the most popular one “2019 is a new page blah blah”, it’s everywhere there’s no way you can even miss it, everywhere you turn to somebody is trying to motivate you for the year, somebody is saying and claiming that 2019 is their year, somebody is making new year resolutio...

Hello beautiful readers of this blog, welcome to my tiny corner, I’m your new and soon to be favorite life coach! Firstly, you should know a little about me before I start to invade your online space and attack you with my wahala, my name is Ree, I’m a graduate and I love to read. So today we’re going to talk about Exes! , lol did somebody just say urggh and roll their eyes? Lmao okay I don’t think anybody should have bad blood with their exes no matter how bad they ended mainly because of your own peace, personally I’m cool with everybody I’ve dated, we don’t necessarily talk everyday day  or every week but we have a cordial relationship because I realize how much it helps me to move on, awkward yea? I know right, there is actually no magical solution on how to get over an ex ( I wish there was). Actually, moving on is up to you, it’s the hardest thing you may have to do but its for your own clarity, it’s okay to cry and miss them, it’s okay to cuss them out (not to their f...
