#Kuwdominion! What they say and tweet about Kuwda


And before we knew it,the year has come to an end,I can't thank you guys enough for all the love and support you've shown me and by extension my brothers through the course of this year and even since the inception of #kuwda I am very grateful.

The year has been a bitter-sweet one,plain-sailing on one part and a little bumpy on the other but all the experiences have made me a stronger individual.

A lot of amazeballs sent in their support and love for the blog in form of sending in what we hash-tagged #kuwdalove photos where they take a picture of them holding a placard with different inscriptions from #keepingupwithdadagiris to "I love keeping up with d adagiris" etc,all  showing their love for the blog,unfortunately,I lost most of the photos saved on my system which got destroyed during the raid on our house as explained in WHEN TROUBLE BREWS but I'd uploaded some on my facebook timeline so I decided to put it on here as a way of showing my gratitude to you all who sent in,especially those who sadly I can't put up your pictures on here because of the loss of the pictures as explained above

When trouble brews


"The times are hard,you have to come to terms with it...there are no jobs, eh! How could you as a woman be so not smart? You're a housewife who scaled down your thriving business for you to be a fulltime housewife,you husband is on a fixed salary,you had the first child,the second,the third,your husband's salary hasn't increased,then the fourth and then fifth child,on the same fixed salary,wouldn't you have started feeling the pinch?"

God made me beautiful

Forward- This is a sequel to I AM MAJ AND I AM MEE and the entire story has been made shorter to fit into one post and avoid a very lengthy piece,to fully digest this piece,I would recommend you listen to the songs  as you read
*Celine dion's Love me back to life playing in the background*

I was walking dead
Stuck inside my head
I couldn't get out
Turn the lights down
The voices inside so loud

Need a jump-start, catatonia
I couldn't feel,
I wish that I could disappear
The voices inside so real

But you stood by my side
Night after night, night after night.

You loved me back to life, life
From the coma.
The wait is over.
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma.
We lovers again tonight.
Back to life, back to life, back to life, back to life, yeah, yeah.

You woke me up, one touch and I felt alive
You loved me back to life,
Back to life, thought I died.
The voices inside so quiet.

But you stood by my side
Night after night, night after night.

You loved me back to life, life
From the coma.
The wait is over.
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma.
We lovers again tonight.

Strong hand, thick skin and an open heart
You saw through the pain, saw through the mask
You never gave up on me, yeah

Life, life
From the coma.
The wait is over.
You loved me back to life, life
From the coma.
We lovers again tonight

Back to life, back to life, back to life, back to life
Back to life, back to life, back to life, back to life yeah yeah

"Baby I've been complaining about my pregnancy discomfort to you and the inconveniences am going through and you don't seem perturbed in the slightest,this is so unfair and cruel of you!"

Mom spewed,engaging dad in a diatribe over the telephone who was in faraway kaduna on an educational course of 3 months.

"Oh yeah?! The pregnancy is causing you a lot of inconveniences? So what am I to do? Huh? Fly over cities to come hold your back or what?massage your swollen feet? Mtseew"

Dad retorted,totally getting Mom so incensed.

Hell hath no roar like an adam scorned 2

Let me start by saying if you get upset easily,especially at someone's foolishness and lack of taking a stand,you shouldn't read this.

My mom is an irrational woman whom no one seem to be able to please,one moment,she needs something and just as you are trying to get that sorted,she comes up with another demand,most probably outrageous than the last and when you try to explain to her how she has to be a little patient or compromise a little,she starts brewing drama and whining about how she has been denied to move ahead in life because everyone has been an enemy of progress,she's such a bitter woman all the time and you know what they say,when mom is happy,everyone is happy but when mommy is not happy...so she comes home and dumps her drama on me...well because am the calm one who tolerates everyone.

Hell hath no roar like an adam scorned 1


Family is overrated you would agree with me right? That picture perfect happiness,laughter,love,comfort and affection that supposedly characterizes a family is just blown out of all proportion...come down to earth and you will realise that there's a lot of drama inherent in family,it is just the way it is.

It was a chilly harmattan morning,my "little uncle" Kareem who is my mom's half-brother and just a year or two older than me who was staying with us for the time being had woken up early that morning and stealthily packed his stuffs,ready to leave for our hometown,he had met with Mom and gran ma (hereafter gran ma refers to mom's mom while Matriarch refers to dad's mom) and told them privately he was leaving but didn't tell aunt nina and aunt hubaida who were also staying with us for a while,this was serious because it was aunt nina who had invited Kareem to come from our hometown to be his "houseboy" so to speak,helping her with her laundry and other sundry chores as she was usually sick which to me was because she was quite OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) about everything,she's such a cleany-bug about everything and to me,when you're antiseptic about everything,you fall sick often. Kareem packed his stuffs,bid me farewell,since he's more a friend
than an uncle and sneaked out and left for our hometown with not more than a thousand naira on him,he was that desperate to leave just because of these aunties of mine from hell!

The Tico Wedding


Whew! Finally,we were leaving our hometown after the annual family reunion,it was 8 am in the morning and we were putting our luggages in the car boot,we aren't so fond of the extended family anyway,so as usual,we were so glad it was all over and we could leave, the Matriarch hasn't forgiven Mom for the stunt she pulled over the exhumation (I hope the word is correct,lol) of our late dad as she kept shouting after mom as she walked towards the car saying how Mom is such a trainwreck and she regretted having her as a daughter-in-law,Mom didn't flinch or reply her,she just sashayed towards the car,holding her head tie and her huge purse,opened the door to the backseat and sat in there,slamming the door shut after her and almost hitting the Matriarch's hands whereupon she screamed,accusing mom of wanting to kill her,yet again,Mom didn't utter a word.

Karl,QT and Hamz bowed in greetings to the Matriarch,bidding her farewell while she acknowledged their greetings,she turned to face me and pointing at Mom,she asked me if I'd witnessed what my Mom did to her,I nodded,smiling wryly,I cheek-kissed her and told her I would talk to Mom

Unfinished business


FORWARD- This is the continuation of chrysalis.

Chrysalis- /kryselis/- A pupa,especially of a moth or butterfly enclosed in a firm case or cocoon at it's early stage of development

"When a body is sent back to earth in another body,as a young child,they have dreams and flashes of memory of their past lives but too young to comprehend or say exactly what they see. Whatever happened in their past lives affects what happens in their present lives,am sure you wonder how? I would tell you,it is quite simple, if someone was a good person in his previous life and died tragically or died without feeling fulfilled,they come back to earth and become successful,as a way of being paid back by God,but if the wealth gets into their head and they misbehave,they at their death are returned back to earth and they keep returning until they achieve a state of purity through their deeds and are then welcomed into God's arms"

I looked on,totally enamored with all the Marabout has said but still on the fence about the issue,he had tried to talk me to understand why we had to dig up our late dad's grave, we sat by the logs of burning fire outside,the chilly wind blowing softly,I pondered,thinking about meeting a supposed reincarnate of my late dad in the land of the living,it felt surreal
