IMAX'S CORNER

I am quite aware that we are all entitled to our opinions but the way some human beings think will shock you and not in a good way . It  just becomes more disappointing when it is from a person you least expect.  There are very disturbing opinions today especially on social media that have made me  question people's thinking.  My  concern about such opinions is not even for the "I too know" advisers but for the innocent unknowledgeable people that will digest such advice with no filter, put it into practice then constitute societal nuisance.  I have also realized  that  academic qualifications or  academic intelligence doesn't really ensure wisdom and only God can help some people because somethings are beyond human intervention. Lastly and very importantly, I have come to the conclusion that people must not give their opinion every time, sometimes  just  put that "advice" inside hot Amala, swallow it and step it down wi...

"Men will show you what?? Shege", "Men will stain your white","Men are scum. Boys are liars"........ I don't really know the lyrics to "Boys are liars", the only line I know is..... Yes, you guessed right 🎶boys are liars 🎶 but you need to see me singing that line like I have been served hot "breakfast". Ask me which boy has lied to me or even shown me shege. The only shege I have seen is either from my school or Nigeria in general and I know I am not the only one in this boat.That is just to show you how social media has a very big way of forming our opinions. The internet has also put us under undue pressure and forced some false narratives on us. There's nothing wrong with being single as a teenager. If you are not in a relationship you won't die and your body doesn't have to look a certain because that's what someone likes. It is also not by force to be a baddie. Please face more important things and focus on yo...

It just has to be the audacity for me because there is no other explanation for such rubbish.Those boys in Lagos market just have to be the worst, they first of all have the audacity to call out to you, then drag or touch you  and when you don't respond they still try to pick a fight or  insult you when you react.  Who gave these people such confidence??😭." Even unknown gunmen don't have that kind of confidence", I honestly envy it.  I most times never react when people touch me but you know the saying "a hungry man is an angry man" , well that saying played out on this fateful day. It was during my internship and I was already hungry so my friend and I went to look for food and trust Lagos sun to be shining like it was being sponsored by hell fire.  After walking under the hot sun and arriving at our usual bukka , we were told that since it was a public holiday, they hadn't cooked. At this point my hunger intensified and  so did my anger be...

 There are a lot of laws that are missing from the Nigerian constitution e.g improving the police act,  creating a more severe punishment for sexual offenders, etc. but one that is of great concern to me today is the inclusion of punishments  for people who have odours of any kind. Yes, because it is a serious offence that has to be addressed with immediate alacrity. Body odour and other odours in general have to become offences punishable by the law because they infringe on people's human right.Is it a crime to come to class and breathe fresh air or enter a bus without my breathing being hindered by my fellow human being? In my opinion offenders should either face jail sentences or be made to pay heavy fines. As it is Nigeria has more problems and people like this can't continue adding to the problems. My fellow human beings, deodorant isn't really expensive and neither is body spray, in fact taking a proper bath at least twice a day can go a long way. Let us work togeth...

When Qing Madi said 🎶I dey avoid see finish make I dey my own make you sef dey your own🎶  I honestly couldn't relate  the first time I heard those lyrics but I knew this was a subject I wouldn't let pass me by, so I just saved it for the future.  I know you can now understand,  YES,  I have had my own little taste of "see finish", so what better opportunity??   Have you people heard of "silent see finish"?? You must have experienced it but you don't know what it is. No need to worry, Your big sister  has got you.🤭 What is see finish in the first place??   According to the urban dictionary, it means "to be taken for granted". In my understanding, "See finish" could be seen as indirect insult and in some crazy cases, direct insult. The pain of see finish also comes in different magnitudes ranging from people you know to people who shouldn't be talking to you in the first place.  Now to the main topic of discussion "Silent S...

Let me tell y'all how  I got my first boyfriend, *tucks hair behind her ear*. It was my official first day of school and I was going about my registration and  finally got to the last part which was my medical registration. I just thought we would get our medical files and register our allergies at the clinic but that was not the case. For some reason they had to get blood samples.  I suspected my "big girl" was about to end  and it did 😭.  I  started crying on other people's behalf when they were getting their  blood samples to the point that people started laughing and the nurse began begging them to tell me to stop crying. A whole me, a whole "undergraduate" of mass communication was crying because of needle. It finally got to my turn, I was already crying and fidgeting and my veins were beginning to disappear, that's was when the nurse swung into action. She begged the boy before me who had just finished giving his blood sample to allow me hold hi...

Haaaaaa!!!I knew it wasn't cheap but I never knew it was this expensive. I am talking about no other thing but the "big girl lifestyle". I just entered the university and as such I am having the big girl fever, I told myself that I had to invest in something either my scent, hair, skin or clothes. Something just had to show that I was a "uni" girl.  My first shocker was the price of sunscreen, I was honestly tired of this Nigerian sun and it felt like the sun in my school was just hotter so I opted for sunscreen because it's a big girl trend🤭. I went into a store haven budgeted 5k only for me to see 10k for a bottle I would use only for two weeks. On the spot I just remembered that umbrella would be sunscreen till further notice 😭.   My next shocker just had to be the cost of makeup. "When I went into the store and I saw the prices, I said "awwoo jumpscare"”. That was my reaction when I bought  two items for 7500. The shop attendant even had...
