  • 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“–.

    Photo of Robyn and Whitney.
  • I choose to read To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee instead of my DREAM BOOK, A Song for you by Robyn crawford.

    I want to read Robyn’s Memoir so bad…๐Ÿคง. But it looks like the most interesting thing in my life right now๐Ÿคง๐Ÿคง๐Ÿคง. I want to preserve it, save it, own it, box it and importantly, love it with all my heart โ™ฅ. I will read ๐Ÿ“– it next ๐Ÿ˜”.

    Before I start any review, I must state that;

    Such persons as Atticus does not exist. This character is much too perfect. Even George isn’t this calm and collected and sweet and less angry ๐Ÿ˜ก. My hubby George has been picking on me for a while, making me angry and getting angry at me. I am no longer on speaking terms with him. I am keeping malice ๐Ÿ˜พ.


    Mrs. Dubose; a fowl-mouthed woman who enjoys throwing insults, even after her death, Atticus had kind words to give. How can someone be so selfless and kind?

    I’ve heard a great deal about this book, to Kill a Mockingbird. Reading ๐Ÿ“–, Kathryn Stockett’s The Help Aibileen requested for To Kill a Mockingbird from Ms Skeeter. It was banned at Black libraries and illegal for Blacks to read ๐Ÿ“–.

    That aroused my interest to read ๐Ÿ“– it.

    I faltered in the first chapter of To Kill a Mockingbird ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ. On Mother Nature, I was uninterested as fuck.

    Googling here and there for an idea on what the book was about to charge my interest.
    Then I encountered a ray of hope, Harper Lee was a womxn๐Ÿ˜….

    Towards the end of chapter one, I received another revelation, the narrator was a female ๐Ÿ˜…. 

    Harper Lee is also humorous in her writing โ˜บ๏ธ. These were building steps.

    I am glad, I and Mockingbird begun getting along just fine๐Ÿค๐Ÿพ.


    Miss Caroline telling the narrator (whose name we are not then sure of but guessed then was Jeane) to stop writing because it isn’t expected of first graders to write till they get to third grade is a semblance of our society towards the upbringing of a human. We teach our children obedience instead of curiosity. We forced children to conform, follow the crowd instead to form thoughts for themselves.

    Miss Muadie through chastening of the footwashing Baptists made me realised, Religion is a strong shield for women hate game. This is a reason why I can never be religious. Even Janism and Wicca which I was told are the most Liberal and tolerant religion for womxn, during my research on Wiccan I discovered out of the three deities (two gods and a goddess), the male are the most dominant. How can a he be the supreme being of witchcraft?? Nonsense. I didn’t need to research about Jainism to know their figurehead was male.


    In teens, when the sense of belonging overrules your individuality. You craving to belong somewhere, to be part of something bigger than you. The feeling of loneliness roars deep and you wish to belong. I had a cousin whom I followed along with his friends, we were all supposed to go somewhere. But he stopped, and asked I go back. This journey was for the ‘boys’. Some of the boys didn’t agree with his decision but I was a girl and his relative so… that incident still stuck by me.


    I get excited by those who stand up for the right things regardless how hard it might be. Standing up for just against friends and foe, publicly declaring your stand to things. May I get to do what’s right even if it doesn’t favour me ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿพ.



    Why reasonable people go stark raving mad when anything involving a Negro comes up, is something I donโ€™t pretend to understandโ€ฆ

    Why reasonable people go stark raving mad when anything involving gender equality comes up, is something I donโ€™t pretend to understandโ€ฆ I draw analogy from racism to gender. People believe men are superior to womxn. People believe whites are superior to blacks.


    If clergymen don’t preach misogyny, services won’t hold that day. Was Harper Lee a man, she won’t have pointed this out. Men are perfect in the eyes of men ๐Ÿ™‚.  That’s why I believe that male writers are good for and should be read by men.





    I got to the part of the court case in To Kill a Mockingbird and honestly, I was not impressed ๐Ÿ˜. 

    Tom Robinson doesn’t have one iota of sense in his head. Na coconut dey im head. How can you go in to help a white girl whom you have been acquainted with for over a year, ALONE inside a room? How can you remain comfortable after she had told you, she sent the children away to buy ice-cream and she saved money up for the reason? How can you NOT be alarmed after the door she claimed to be faulty was just fine?


    This is the difference between being female and being male.

    Rape, sexual abuse is wom101, you are taught from birth as a female.

    As soon as a man calls you in, to his compound which suddenly is alone and he informs you, he sent everyone away, the singing song that goes into your head is… AWAY. You RUN!!!


    Men do not suffer sexual abuse the way womxn do because men are mostly, 99.9% the abusers, the rapists. Even a day old and months old female babies aren’t spared by these people.

    So I am not surprised Tom Robinson could relax around Mayella without reading the room.



    My favourite character in the book is the narrator, Jean Louise (Scout). Unlike her father, Atticus whom Ewell could approach, spit on his face, threatened to kill him, curse him with vulgar names and try to engage him in a fight. Only for him to end it up โ€œToo proud to fight, you nigger-lovinโ€˜ bastard?โ€ With โ€œNo, too old,โ€ put his hands in his pockets and gaited away.

    Scout fought. My favourite parts are where her brother threatened to spank her if she continued to trouble Aunt Alexandra, she immediately rushed him and they fought. Even after he punched her hard at the belly, she continued still fighting him until their father separated them.


    And also, the scene she defiantly told her brother, Jem and Reverend Sykes โ€œ _I most certainly do, I cโ€™n understand anything you can._โ€  when he pointed out that she doesn’t understand the case that was going on in court. She was only 8 years old.

    Reminds me of my younger sister who is going to 8 by May and stopped attending meetings of Jehovah’s witness because she hates it.

    I hate movies. Here’s the movie telling us a totally different story from what the  book stated about the narrator’s first time meeting Mr Arthur ‘Boo’ Radley just like they desecrated Alice Walker’s masterpiece *The Colour purple* . Movies are for enjoyment, books are for reflection. I prefer books ๐Ÿ“š. Anytime. I’d be watching the 1900s movie of to kill a Mockingbird though. Also that of the colour purple. Recent movies are too fake for my liking. To good books ๐Ÿธ, may we always find them to read them.

    One of the reviews in current book ๐Ÿ“™, Falconer by John Cheever stated that 20-30 minutes into reading ๐Ÿ“–, the reader would be overwhelmed. I’ve read for over an hour, and I am yet to find anything fascinating or captivating. The picture is taken at my stand where I sat, cross-legged and forcing myself to read ๐Ÿ“– the trash.

  • Pdf cover

    Agonising about Bertrand Russell’s words, “a child should, from the first, be allowed to see his parents. . . naked.” It repelled me to picturize my father’s penisโ˜น๏ธ. Mediating on these strange words, I read ๐Ÿ“–, it popped up again. It was one of the basis a judge used to annul his appointment as a lecturer at the University of New York.

    The judge was burnt up as I was over the statement.

    However, as the controversy ensued. Each side narrating their own side of the story. The storyline blossomed ๐ŸŒธ and I begun to perceive what Bertrand meant.

    In Education and the Good Lifeย  in which Russell had written โ€œa child should, from the first, be allowed to see his parents and brothers and sisters without their clothes whenever it so happens naturally. No fuss should be made either way; he should simply not know that people have feelings about nudity.โ€


    I love books as this one which enable one conceive unconventional ideas. And like one of those who spoke in defense of Bertrand Russell, we get to know that,

    *Black is White. Peace is War. Freedom is slavery.*

    Instead of the customary thoughts which according to Bertrand in the book, brings no changes to the world. If you get to do things because your parents did them, so did their parents before them. How would there be a difference?

    I lost friendships, restricted entry to certain places I once could access easily. Ditched off from free rides (which is actually a good thing as I had to slave or suffer for it), kicked out of places. Avoided by friends so as not to be seen as my kind.

    There are things that drain my mental health while I think about them. I still think of them. The world crumbles on my head and no-one understands. Nobody offers assistance. There is no one at my side.ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย ย 

    I read about Bertrand Russell trials and I laugh ๐Ÿ˜‚. Ahha… I have had it rough but this… this is Savage!

    The difference between him and I are, he was a world pariah, a Lord of philosophy and I… I am a nobody. A nothing. But a state coming for your head? This is too much.

    As much as, Catholic groups and associations stroke against Bertrand Russell’s appointment as a professor, so also Catholic Reverends spoke in his defence! Just as for equality, men fighting at the forefront of the battle fighting for equal rights and opportunities for womxn. The whole fucking world was observing the case of Bertrand Russell.

    Russel writes about Thomas Paine… “The world decided, as it usually does in such cases, to punish him for his lack of self-seeking; to this day his fame is less than it would have been if his character had been less generous.” I ponder to these words and I realise that good people are NEVER appreciated. only public-seeking approved individuals withย  narcissistic tendencies who meet the public eye with glittery and affluent are loved by them. People like Mother Theresa, Washington, Martin Luther King Jr. etc๐Ÿ™‚.

    Through this book Why I Am Not A Christian, I reinstated the underlying factor why most men tend to despise womxn after having sex with them. They tend to use denigrating words as; cheap, prostitute etc and then never wishes to see them again. They believe that the womxn pushed them to sin so they are evil. The cycle continues. That is because they believe sex is sin. Womxn are temptress.

    Bertrand Russell, I LOVE YOUR MIND. But, you’re a sexist and homophobe. Being accused of supporting homosexuality doesn’t count after publicly declaring, you don’t support homosexuality and Oh thanks for pointing out some of the harmful effects of homosexual relations.

    You should have done what you initially advice.

    SHUT THE FUCK UP at your accusers!

    My current read ๐Ÿ˜. I hope to enjoy Kathryn Stockett as I did Bertrand Russell
  • I like this book, Tomorrow Died Yesterday ๐Ÿ“™ because of its intense use of Port Harcourt slangs. Coming from Port Harcourt, it felt like home. I kept getting lost and lost with the mention of the food and Port Harcourt cities๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿฅบ๐Ÿฅบ. Awwwnnn… I miss Ph๐Ÿ˜ž๐Ÿ˜“.

    The writer Chimeka GARRICKS, who is also the author of Broken People’s Playlist made good use of Port Harcourt food and Niger Delta struggle. However, I felt it a bit amateurish. Me Goddess, I have never published a book ๐Ÿ“™ before yet see me condemning a renowned Irish born author๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿพโ€โ™€๏ธ. That’s my problem, I don’t know my mate. I now understand why Crush shushes me so I can know my mates and hangout with people of my level๐Ÿ˜Ž. Seriously, the book was a bit amateurish and I thought the author was like me or someone my ‘mate’๐Ÿ˜, who believes in god, lives in Port Harcourt or had lived in PH, compiled the book into pdf and…soldโš’๏ธ! Aluta continua. But he is the author of Broken People’s Playlist, a very popular book ๐Ÿ“™. Born in Dublin, an avid reader. So why write like an average Nigerian mind๐Ÿค”?


    I googled Chimeka GARRICKS and I found that he and I had read almost the same kind of books ๐Ÿ“š, growing up.

    Books he read growing up

    His collection of books looked like my collection of books ๐Ÿ“š. Chike and the River, The adventures of Tom Sawyer, Treasure Island, Burning Grass, African Series, The Concubine etc. Oh good old days with a fuckton (Akwaeke Emezi done teach me new fuck word๐Ÿ˜) of good books ๐Ÿ“š which were written with heterosexual characters. The difference between him and I were, I have never travelled outside Rivers State, also I had no parent who built me a library nor interested in me reading๐Ÿ˜’. My reading ๐Ÿ“– to them was to avoid workโ˜น๏ธ. A product of laziness๐Ÿ˜Ž.

    He was also an avid reader like I am, so how come? How manage he gets to pull Nigerian movie script to such an awesome storyline? There were scenes I had paused for a minute to roll my eyes๐Ÿ™„ before I continued ๐Ÿ˜ถ. I mean, not everyone who smokes weed is a criminal. And not every heathen home is a dysfunctional family. Such mindset sef๐Ÿ˜’๐Ÿ’…๐Ÿฟ.

    Doye wasn’t a villain.

  • 100 pages into the book, You Made a Fool of Death with your Beauty, I hadn’t had my butterflies ๐Ÿฆ‹. I was angry and horny. The only scenes were love, fucking, and wooing scenes.


    You fuck the opposite sex. Met one of his friends. Broke up with him. Dated his friend, who took you to his father with first-class tickets to a …. ๐Ÿฅฑ. I am bored. Awkaeke’s sexuality made me believe all or most of their characters would be gay.

    What I did was, instead of killing myself with a romance novel when I had a loveless life, I flipped between things. Movies, songs, dancing, etc. A bit of them all.

    Horny as fuck. I was masturbating, masturbating, masturbating. I cannot wait to lose my virginity ๐Ÿค•.

    The best part of living alone is… you can masturbate anywhere. At any time too. You enter the toilet, you masturbate. You enter the kitchen, holy fuck yes, you masturbate. When opening the fridge, you masturbate with the door of the fridge. It’s yours anyways. So it should serve however you like.

    I don’t think I need a relationship anymore. I’d just buy trendy sex toys and love myself.

    The book. The book. I was more of masturbating, music, movies, and reading. New Year day was fun.

    In masturbating, you think of yourself, understand self, and think of pleasuring and knowing how your body works. Although, I might have imagined uhm… Crush..uhm… for a minute.

    Then the discovery of the MC and her best friend had uhm… fucked one time.

    I knew it! Friendships aren’t that strong till sex gets involved.

    Friends who fucked together stay together.

    In all honesty, sex creates a bond. A special bond. And it encourages friends to be more relaxed and understand each other more (I am not supporting Brymo and his sexual harassment on Simi).


    I am in support of Feyi the MC banging her boyfriend’s father. What’s the relationship? There are a billion people in the world, that you cannot marry everybody, you can only bang some. Bang a lot but you can’t marry everyone. You will only die if you try.

    The more single you are, the more open you are for more…

    Shhhhhh๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿคซ๐Ÿคซ. I am still reading.

  • I am going to write a review of Alice Walker’s book, possessing the secrets of Joy because I am horny. When horny, if you cannot fuck, you talk about fuck. I am high!

    I am high from my own ovulation. Woah! It feels good to be this high!!

    So yes, to our review. If you are a child, this review isn’t for you. I had a twin viewing my status through their mama’s phone. I know which one of them. The smart one. The one reserved and quiet and not interested in anything. I know because the questions asked are far above a child of an average mind.

    You don’t have to be less than 18 to be a child. 30+ can be children. What am I talking about? This isn’t the review!

    Alice Walker in her book, didn’t talk about sex in a way but it did centred on sexual liberation. And female circumcision. Imagine enjoying every inch of your body and having rapturous orgasms, constantly, every day of your life, or most days of your life. Being female, sexually liberated, and orgasmically enlightened.

    Since I read the book, masturbation has become intense and I became a scholar of finding sexual pleasure. As an upcoming sex professor, I discovered my form of masturbation had a name. Masturbation were in types? I found out.

    But I can better my DIY skills? How can my masturbation be better? I bought out my sex toy, even I had forgotten I had and itself had forgotten its use. The girl who forced me to buy it then never knew I bought it. When she asked, I told her I had no money for it. Through the book and the movie, Sex Ed, I learnt it was a receiver. But I was a stud, or rather people addressed me as a stud. And studs don’t get touched. Your hands? Keep off! They are givers and active partners. I am a receiver. I want to lie down lazily and allow my partner do the work. I just want to feel good, receive, receive, and receive. I want my fingers sucked, I want to feel every sensation from my fingers. I want my feet massaged and my toes sucked. I want a sex slave. Because I want every part of me licked. Sucked. Bitten!

    I want to scream.

    Fuck, what am I doing? Aren’t we supposed to be talking about Alice Walker’s possessing the secrets of joy?

    Wait a minute! What else could be the secret of joy if not a good fuck and a delicious, mouth-watering plate of food? I prefer Chinese ๐Ÿ˜‰. Possessing good food. Good sex. Is the secret of joy๐Ÿคญ. Life’s good.


    Book never start, Alice Walker don dey shake table. Then the movie I am watching, Reboot. Everything in this world wants me to fly.

    Alice Walker hasn’t even lifted pen but she has begun breaking tables. I love Alice Walker. Her books excite me like one that won a billion-dollar lottery and cashing out inside the book.

    If no be say, you read this one. Body sweet you, you read the other one, the thing sweet you. I would have proclaimed Alice Walker as my best writer. I have never been this happy in life except when I read Eve Ensler’s Vagina Monologue. I wish we could host that play in Nigeria. Vagina Monologue if my vagina could speak…

    I wrote to them and sadly, there was no response. I wanted that play to be in Nigeria like it was in other countries. My Australian friend confirmed watching it. I wanted to experience it too. If my vagina could be anything, she would be a tigress.


    Walker mentioned Simone de Beauvoir’s book, Second Sex and the impact it has made to the feminist world.

    Second Sex will always be adored by feminists everywhere around the world. Thank you, France ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท for giving us Simone de Beauvoir. She’s a remarkably strong womxn. Her book ๐Ÿ“™, The Second Sex changed my life forever.


    In Possessing the Secrets of Joy, Alice had written,

    my uncircumcised vagina was thought to be a monstrosity.
    They laughed at me. Jeered at me for having a tail…”
    Some womxn undergo infibulation from bandages.

    Some things sound wrong to your ears ๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿพ , but they aren’t exactly wrong. They aren’t wrong. Societal norms and programming make the right things seem selfish. Totally wrong. Demonic. You are not right because you take it so. Some things acceptable by our society are wrong in totality and in the eyes of everyone who sees the future from here ๐Ÿ”ฎ. Whenever you hear new facts, my friend, do not be first to condemn. Listen ๐Ÿ‘‚๐Ÿพ. Take it in. Absorb. Think further about it. Discern it. Place it down in the fury furnace. Let it burn off or come out gold. Importantly, accept everybody’s facts. It is their consciousness. It is their truth. Yes, it may not be true, but it is their truth. Teach only, when they ask you to. There is no right and wrong, the world is from your personal perspective. This is solipsism๐Ÿ˜!


    Time for we, daughters to change the narratives! Our mothers might have collaborated with men to our dominance, but we are a strong ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿพ force, a raging earthquake with 9.7 magnitude. We will destroy, pull off, scatter, and break down every iota of the patriarchal system. We are womxn and we are a burning furnace!

    Reading ๐Ÿ“– Alice Walker is like reading new facts and new theories. Things sound strange and weird but having trues if properly understood. After reading this book, I don’t think I will circumcise my sons if I have any. I’ll let them grow up to choose to do so if they wish, without external push and with their minds free of the norms. If the prepuce were to be removed, it wouldn’t have existed in the first place. Yeah, so to me, male circumcision is another form of child abuse.

    Also, I am a scholar in school of sexual pleasure!

  • After completing Anne Frank’s diary, I could have boldly beaten my chest and even in crowd confidently say, “the book is exaggerated. Overhyped!”

    There’s nothing special for it to be so uniquely popular. Sadly the rich people always gets it.

    When I heard the book Diary of a Young Girl was a narration of a Jew during the world war. Wow. A first hand narrative experience of world war 2. I watched this movie, a boy in a strip clothes. I cried and cried and cried. So I expected the diary to invoke such emotions after the first few chapters.

    I was hoping for a book on a verse topic on the war. A book discussing extensively by a person at the forefront of the second world war. Why should such a pick centred on wealth lives of the rich be picked? I felt no suffering. I had no emotion. Instead of an emotional,…. of the war, I read rich people’s hiding and problems the encounter. They even afford a cleaning lady and plumber to fix their leaking toilet. People in hiding! Giving gifts and celebrating birthdays. Where in the world can a poor person get Springerโ€™s five-volume art history book, a set of underwear, two belts, a handkerchief, two jars of yogurt, a jar of jam, two honey cookies (small), a botany book from Father and Mother, a gold bracelet from Margot, a sticker album from the van Daans, Biomalt and sweet peas from Dussel, candy from Miep, candy and notebooks from Bep, and the high point: the book Maria Theresa and three slices of full-cream cheese from Mr. Kugler. Peter gave me a lovely bouquet of peonies; in a war that has lasted years!! They even bake cakes for their birthdays. I can’t fathom HOW possible that is. I can understand studying, buying books or reading books during a war of which some people won’t understand because money for food you carry am buy book. You dey craze ney?

    How possible can people celebrate birthdays and exchange gifts? Where will you find the money for those gifts? Where would you buy the gifts?


    We weren’t told when America joined the war. We only knew of British and America displaying their might in June 27 1944.
    Through the book I get to know about another book Soldiers on the Home Front which I hope to read soon.

    Thereโ€™s only one rule you need to remember: laugh at everything and forget everybody else!

    After learning how the people in the annex lost their lives, I cried. Chai๐Ÿ™†๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ!! Germany!! In less than six months Anne penned her last thoughts, precisely 1st August 1944, by 4th August 1944, they were arrested. She and every member of the annex except for the father died. Either as a result of malnutrition like her mother or gassed like Van Daan or from the typhus epidemic.

  • I wonder if the Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank is worth me reading. Had she been a black poor girl would her diary be this popular?

    I know the holocaust was horrible and I condemn in entirety the maltreatment of any kind including those of parents to kids and houseowner to housemaid etc. I am scared of having kids or living with someone because of maltreatment and injustice (I can’t be around people. I just can’t stand them). We are humans and as humans (especially Nigerians raised in a harsh and toxic environment), once we are in a position of power, we tend to be egotistical, abusive, and oppressive to the lower party.

    But….

    Just that but

    Weren’t black soldiers treated worse than captured German soldiers? The so-called saviours of the oppressed, oppressing a race for their skin colour! In a war, that had absolutely no value to them. It was none of our concern as the continent, Africa. Yet, we were cruelly treated, and seen as monkeys for our black skins for a war that does not concern us.


    Were it only Africans used for Adolf Hitler’s insanely experiment in the holocaust would it lead to a world war? Would the whites join us to rescue us? Would the Jews be benevolent enough to participate in a war or even read one of our diaries?

    The more I study this book, the more immersed in thoughts, I am. I watched a Psych2go video this morning addressing personalities according to them, a behaviourist and HR specialist Patrick Bet-David developed a typology of personality STAR (structure-oriented, Task-oriented, Action-oriented, and Relationship-oriented) to understand the unique traits and characteristics of those around you. I identified with the T of the STAR. We have an insatiable curiosity to learn and understand the world. And we hate doing tedious and repetitive tasks๐Ÿ˜œ, as much as small talks. We prefer to be lost in our own minds because of how rich and complex our inner world is๐Ÿ˜‡โ˜บ๏ธ. So… enough of the boasting, I know I am all these and more.


    I am probably upset that I am missing the love that Alice Walker would have showered me. The euphoria, the ecstasy, the joy, oh my great love, Alice Walker ๐Ÿฅฐ๐Ÿฅฐ. Here I am reading a secret diary of a 14-year-old rich white girl. How more boring can my life get??
