Diary Of A Nigerian Lesbian

A Love Letter to Life, Laughter, and the Pursuit of Authentic Happiness. Navigating Love, Self-Expression, and Identity in the Heart of Nigeria ๐Ÿ‡ณ๐Ÿ‡ฌ.

  • Of course, women are prostitutes. Why should Wanja be anything else in Ngugi Wa Thiong’O’s Petals of blood?
    Why should we expect anything more from male writers. Women are nothing more than prostitutes in men’s eyes.

    One thing we humans fail to understand is this; we are all prostitutes. One way or the other. Yes, every living human being on earth is a prostitute.

    Before you throw your stone at me. I’ll tell you to your face, that you’re a prostitute, as much as I am too. We all sell one part of us one for money or dopamine or gain.

    I sell my time and attention to books ๐Ÿ“š for the high it gives me. That’s prostitution.

    You carry yourself to work everyday, sometimes 5 days a week, you might be going 6 days in a week. You are selling your body, your time, your energy for money.

    I go to my business stand which I despise so much, when I would rather be cuddled up in bed with my blanket and a book in my hand.

    Every one of us are all prostitutes. That is what men should understand. That is what society should understand.

    Bear in mind that those who stand in the wee hours of the night, hustling customers, exchanging sex for money are just as we all are, PROSTITUTES.

  • List your top 5 favorite fruits.

    It is difficult to choose as I love eating and love everything including all fruits equally.

    Sha lemme try;

    1. Pineapple ๐Ÿ. God, the delicious taste of Pineapple excites me.

    2. Mango: I love mangoes๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ.

    3. Cranberries. A beautiful

    4. Udara aka Africa Star Apple. That’s if I am lucky sha not to eat the soar one๐Ÿ˜

    5. Pawpaw. One time favourite๐Ÿ˜‹.

  • What’s one small improvement you can make in your life?

    Growing confidence and standing up for what is right. In a society, where being poor is a crime and taking a stand as a poor person is madness.

  • Share a story about someone who had a positive impact on your life.

    George.

    He is one of the few friends I have. He is my friend regardless how crazy I am. He is patience and tolerant, and kind. His kindness is does come with no strings. You can be rude to him and he will be there, offering a hand.

  • Dunno if it’s just me or other readers do experience this also. Ever since, I read Kathryn Stockett‘s The Help, Alice Walker‘s The Colour Purple and Harper Lee‘s To Kill a Mockingbird, I have become fond of classics. Classics by womxn writers. I wish to read more of them. In fact, I prefer them to recent books ๐Ÿ“š.

    Not reading what I love and get lost on them, made me low these few days. I felt life wasn’t fun any longer. Books are a medium of escape. My coping mechanism

    A magic happened today.


    These are one of the few straight books ๐Ÿ“š, I received. I have actually watched the movie, I think it was produced by Oprah Winfrey. Can’t remember, being quite long and the movie cracked so, didn’t gain much. I did know the heroine was a brave lady leaving with a young lad old enough to be her son whom she later shot as he had rabies. That was bad ass.

    My eyes have seen wonders of the world. May I read them๐Ÿคฒ๐Ÿพ. I have been dreaming for like FOREVER to read ๐Ÿ“– Toni Morrison and here she is. In my arms, sorry phone๐Ÿ˜ข. Why isn’t this hardcopy ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ? The second of the two straight books ๐Ÿ“š .

    A miracle. A mercy I received from the universe. An opium… The 2015 movie Carol which featured our dearest, loved *Cate Blanchett* as one of the Lesbian heroine (how does someone who has been married to a man since 1996 act all the badass Lesbian movies? First Taล• now this๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿฅบ) was a rip off from The Price of Saltย  ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ. How do I get the hardcopy ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ.ย  Books ๐Ÿ“š as this are best read ๐Ÿ“– holding them in your lovely arms, and time to time smelling the feel good dopamine, they release.

    The year makes me high. 1928!!! wow!! How did they do this? Pening such unholy thoughts in those primitive times.

    This is is a fucking lesbian classic. Dope as fuck. I don’t have to read this to know that I love it.

    A great blessing. When someone encouraged me to write more of myself and then Georgie sent me a mastodon link. I was shocked ๐Ÿ˜ฒ to discover Woolf was a fucking lesbian. A WLW. Kai! Womxn as this drives me nuts ๐Ÿคช. In a good way๐Ÿ™‚, of course ๐Ÿ™ƒ.ย 

    Carmilla will be the first book ๐Ÿ“™, I will be reading ๐Ÿ“– about Sheridan Le Fanu. I cannot wait. It is a fucking classic lesbian literature anything!

    Come my love ๐Ÿ˜, we would make a great team๐Ÿ˜Ž. Virginia Woolf to the world. Damn!! She’s always famous to the world ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿฅณ.

    Yup, I confess! Being a bastard attracted me to this. I can’t wait to explore what the Dorothy holds for us bastards and misfits of the world.

    ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ Audre Lorde๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ. I have dreamt of reading ๐Ÿ“– her minds for like FOREVER. One of pioneers abi the second famous person to write openly and fearlessly on lesbian literature. I used famous because of people like myself who are unknown and unrecognised. Poor and unknown eople might be living and aggressively writing within the time 1800s when the first lesbian literature came our. Toorh, because poverty is a curse and as our society favours the rich. She/they might have been killed and their works set ablaze.

    The book title. The book title drew me to it. The author’s surname is Peters and mine is Peters ๐Ÿ˜. Wow.



    After reading ๐Ÿ“– the straight books ๐Ÿ“š, I shall delve deeply into the lesbian literature and I shall not stop.

    Matter of fact, I will begin with Virginia Woolf and Audre Lorde first, in case I get involved in an accident or fall ill and die (uncertainty is what makes life beautiful), I and the person or persons who dies the same time and sec as I did, I shall boast and continously talk about Audre and Woolf till my companion/s are worn out and beat me. I will not relent I shall talk till we pass the other side and separate from each other.

  • After completion of the book ๐Ÿ“™, A Song for you. I just rolled my eyes like this๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„. Then hissed like this, mtcheeeeeeeew๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ˜’.

    Who does Robyn think we are sef? Small pickin dem??

    But OMG!! I cannot deny the fact It was a good book๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ. I had to refrain myself not to read it at a goal but to extend reading it.

    I appreciate the fact that Robyn Crawford did not take anger, frustration and racial discrimination as an excuse to the domestic abuse her mother suffered in the hands of her father unlike Viola Davis who did in her book, Finding Me. I am angry at how Viola could ‘understand‘ her father. How she could be so understanding.. so forgiving of her abusive and unfaithful father whom I must add, changed when she became famous and he was weary with age. I still can’t understand how womxn tolerate and condone abuse and unfaithfulness in relationships with men.

    Commuting to work one morning while reading A Song for You, I felt I was missing something. That I had left something behind at home.

    It was my subconscious missing holding a book ๐Ÿ“™. I’d give anything to turn A Song for you into a hardcopy๐Ÿ˜ญ.

    Whitney Houston could afford to bore a $20,000 dollars loss on a condo which she bought because Robyn Crawford felt she needed her space away from Whitney and wanted to separate professional life from private life, then gift her a $100,000 to buy  a house. God why don’t I have friends like that๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ?


    So lemme understand this,
    You are deeply in love with somebody. You both kiss, have sex and do drugs for some time. One morning, she comes over with a bible saying, you guys have to stop. Because being with a same gender is a sin. she wants to hsve kids and a normal relationship. And you both relationship is a sin. However, god understands your love for each other. You both write down your love for each other at the back of the bible.

    Then from then, you guy never had sex again? Even when you are both high and alone, sharing apartments together and sleeping on each other’s arms. Tarrh get out! Who does Robyn Crawford think we are? Children??

    I understand what she is trying to do, seriously I do, but it is better she didn’t say anything at all, than write this.

    However, it wasa good read ๐Ÿ“–.

  • What public figure do you disagree with the most?

    Elon Musk and Donald Trump

  • Everyone is looking for someone to love them, and appreciate them before they can love them back. They are afraid of intimacy, nobody wants to be heartbroken๐Ÿคง.

    I quite recall vividly how hard I cried and wish I died when this particular person didn’t love me or saw me. I only wanted them to see me.

    Better to be a loveless human than commit and get used๐Ÿ˜Ž. Some people think.

    Fuck you, if you believe that.

    Love is one of the strongest andย  powerful of emotions, something that you can use as a weapon, a dopamine, motivation etc. The adrenaline rush of seeing crush is. . . Bliss. More euphoric than any form of drug.

    Better than food๐Ÿ˜‹. Best if crush can cook๐Ÿ˜.

    And then, the hard one of which most people will think I am crazy.

    We are here. Alive. On this rock, we call Earth.

    As particles of atoms, bustling with emotions. When are we to love if not now? Aren’t we worthy of experiencing the most sought after of emotions?

    Why hold back from love or wait for them? When this is the only time we are alive in this space.

    I want to laugh ๐Ÿ˜‚. I want to cry๐Ÿ˜ฅ๐Ÿ˜ข. I want to gossip with my partner. I want to fly. I want to die. I want to be so hurt and so heartbroken, I don’t see the reason to be alive. Most importantly, I want to love again. And again. And again. I want to try out with a love prospect and get rejected.
    I want to cheat on my partner and be cheated on. Because that all these makes me human.

    If I donโ€™t experience them alive, when and where else should I? In my grave abi in heaven or paradise?

    I want to love again. I want to be with someone who loves me the same way, I feel and I don’t mind falling first. Making the first move. Get embarrassed. Do the wooing. I have been hurt, my heart has been scattered even.
    If my heart was a person, she would be on a wheelchair, limb. Hands and legs bandaged. Yet, I still want to experience the most powerful of emotions.

    Love is as strong as death. Even one religious book like that said it.

    We are made up of electrons, protons, and neutrons. Our aim in life is to be happy. Be loved and love. Hope you find happiness and love.

    Blessings ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ.

  • What is your career plan?

    Get a job at an NGO where I can write as much as I want to without being obstructed. Also, I would like to win a writing competition which will attract me publishers like Penguin and Co. So I can write my ass off and quit my NGO job to focus on my passion, and lover; writing.

  • Let’s be realistic, by 2100s marriage will be redundant. Only stupid people will want to  get married.

    People who want marriage will be like flat earthers.

    There will be more single mums. Children given birth via IVFs and AIs (I am talking about Artificial insemination not Artificial Intelligence).
    There will be partners, yes, love interests, sexual cohabitation, flings and maybe, maybe unions. But there will be no marriage.

    We already complain about high rate of divorce, this occurs because womxn are unwilling to put up with men’s bullshits any longer. Working class single mothers are happier single than when married or with male partners. Womxn are waking up to realise that marriage is an archaic patriarchal tradition set to enslave them. MARRIAGE CAN NEVER FAVOUR YOU as a womxn!

    Why do you think in marriages, the womxn has to change her name or alter her name by adding hypen whatever and the man isn’t required to do those things? Why do you think children are acclaimed to be the man’s property? We all know the nine months suffering and housing and labour is done by the womxn.

    Why do you think womxn are still required to do housechores regardless of whether she provides half the bills. Or works tirelessly at the office?

    There are some people, once they know you’re married. They just need to know your husband’s name and boom… you are Mrs husband’s name. You don’t have to tell them, they are that stupid. They take pride in calling you, Mrs husband’s name.

    Yes, yes, wait fess. Chill. Calm down. I know what you want to say. Men provide for the family and are the defenders (against fellow men sha). Blah. Blah. Blah.

    And that is it. Poverty and fear of being attacked by men are reasons, womxn get married or remain in marriages.

    By 2100s, there will be much independence, womxn will no longer be dependent on husbands or boyfriends or sugardaddies or whatever. They will depend on themselves.

    From studies in the US and in most developed countries, we discover that there are lower rate of marriages โšญ and higher rate of divorce cases โšฎ.

    Then lemme give you the big one. My main reason for these post. Why would anyone validate my relationship with my partner? Who are you to tell me whether I am married or not? Or give me some silly paper as marriage certificate. My partner and I validate our relationship not the state or the court or the church.

    If we want to break up, you meet you again to break us up, and perhaps spend more money. That’s ridiculous!
