Barby's Diary

Hi Guys! "Happy" is the least way to describe how I feel. We've hit 10 million page views (I meant 10 thousand actually…lolzzz) in less than six months. The excitement is surreal. God bless you guys. And yes, my last article is the blog’s most popular article. We had almost 1000 page views on that topic in less than 24 hours which is happening for the first time actually. I appreciate every one of you. You’re my motivation to keep writing. I wouldn’t be writing if there’s no one to read and also share their thoughts with the rest of us. You don’t know how much all these mean to me. Thanks again!!! You know how most of the articles I write about is usually about something that happened to me, or someone close, or one of those things I read or hear about right?…yeah, my life has become one storybook. Someone yesterday jokingly told another person to be careful around me before I use them as a topic on the blog. LOL. Is it that bad? Le Boo may start thinking same very so...

This life ehn, this life…you’ll think you’ve ‘’jumped and pass’’ until someone throws you another one. So, some days ago, I was on my own ‘’jejely’’ and someone asked me a question… ‘’Madam, what are your plans now that the service year is over?’’ See me running my mouth and downloading her with my plans. You know, as a lawyer, working under supervision is very crucial at this stage, so as to build your craft and establish a solid clientele base. So I told her how before the service year ran out I had sent out applications and CVs to reputable law firms and how I intend to also go back to school in between and run some professional courses to broaden my knowledge and enhance my chances in the society, I also told her that I intend to take more intense classes on bead making and grow my hair business which I have already started on a small scale. I told her in the next five years, I see myself achieving all of these and many more. I was innocently telling her all of these with...

For those of you who may think I have abandoned my blog…’’ laye e, laye e, baby ko jo’’ (meaning: It’s not happening). Yeah! I rebuke you people in Jesus’ name. I can’t abandon the blog oh! How can I? Not now when full time bloggers can afford to buy a 600 million mansion without blinking an eye! There is God oh! I just said I should take some time out ‘’kpere’’ to do some personal things, and this 600 million something happened. Maybe if I was here then, I’ll have made some 100 million too. Na wa. I’m convinced God hasn’t forgotten us sha. LOL. How have y’all been jare? Who missed me? Who missed all the juicy articles on Barby’s Diary? I bet you did! I did too. Very much. Can’t believe it’s been two weeks since we last communicated. Time runs so fast oh… Just as I promised, I’ll use this article to fill you up on what has kept me away for two weeks. But before we get carried away in the gist, please take out time to tell me ‘’CONGRATULATIONS’’. Yes oh, my levels has changed!...

Shalla (local way of saying ‘shout out’) to the most important people in my life!!! Errrmm…that’ll be after God, MYSELF, my parents, my wonderful siblings, Le Boo…then you of course! I’ve missed you all. How have you been dearies? What’s the latest news at your end? I’ve been doing great. So many things to be done within a short time, but I am enthusiastic about them all. We’re fighters. We take charge. We don’t give up!  However, there’s a not so good news I am about to pass…relax, nobody died oh! Just as I promised some time ago, I said I wouldn’t leave the blog unattended to without prior notice to our readers. Well, here I am... I’m taking time off to sort out some very important issues in my life (I’m not getting married, thanks for asking. LoL). I sincerely don’t know how long I’ll be away, maybe a week or two weeks, tops, but I’ll try to come back (here) as soon as possible. I encourage that you still visit and catch up on previous articles which you missed or art...

I pledge to NIGERIA my country, To be faithful, loyal and honest, To serve NIGERIA with all my strength, To defend her unity, And uphold her honour and glory, So help me God, Amen.
