Dear Cozy.
Dear Cozy, If life gives you lemons, ask for salt and vinegar. Being single sucks! I mean, how can I have so much to share, funny pictures and videos, complains about Nigeria and her problems and have no one to share them with? How can’t I have someone to wish me good morning? To ask…

Dear Cozy.
Dear Cozy, If life gives you lemons, ask for salt and vinegar. I am a single mother. No, your father did not run away… He knows better than to do that. And he isn’t dead either. He’s just not here… yet. Raising you has been many shades and degrees of opposites. One minute, I’m almost…

Dear Cozy.
Dear Cozy, If life gives you lemons, ask for salt and vinegar. Okay, I am not sure how long I’ve been pregnant but this mood swings have been with me since time immemorial.

Dear Cozy, If life gives you lemons, ask for salt and vinegar. Being pregnant is not easy and you, being a stubborn fetus, aren’t making it any better. My feet are swollen and the only reason why I haven’t used them to kick anyone, yet, is because I have locked myself up in the bedroom.…

One Night Too Many 7.
My open mouth could not utter anything, not even a scream. This was my own sister, comfortable with dating a man who should be dead, for the good of all mankind. I really wanted to know his jazz man. Something was just not right. “Ayotunde led a terrible life before. He was the leader of…

One Night Too Many 6.
Have you ever woken up, seen something or someone, and then had to pretend to still be sleeping? Waking up to see Bode and Tiwa standing like body guards at the foot of my bed was enough to make me wish for another shot of diazepam. Before I was wheeled into theatre,these two were fighting…

One Night Too Many 5.
A week after my discussion with Tiwa, I was watching a movie with Bode in our room. It was one of those rare nights when we did something together other than sleep or have sex. I had imagined that being pregnant would have made us closer but it seemed to be doing the exact opposite.…

One Night Too Many 4.
“Bode, please can you drop me at Tinuke’s place? I want to see her for some things.” “Okay. I’d just wait for you so I can drive you back home.” “That won’t be necessary. Pregnancy does not kill.” “Babe, I am not taking any chances. This is,,,” “Yes, this is our first baby. But no,…
