An African Countess' Blog

  I'm sure the ear of the world is full with shouts of #BringBackOurGirls right now as it should be.   About 276 schoolgirls between the ages of 16 and 18 were abducted by the Boko Haram extremists at gunpoint on April 14 from their rooms at the Government Girls Secondary School in Chibok, Nigeria, where they had been sleeping and 'nothing' has been heard of them ever since. And another 8 were abducted yesterday by these same guys o, in that same Borno!   How evil can people make themselves to be? And how nonchalant can some other people be? Yesterday on Twitter, one of those white guys said 'I know now CNN will be all over the Chibok Girls story, well, somebody has to be'. (did you get that?)   It is no longer funny at all and I can't even start to pour out my frustration right now, those who follow me on twitter (@CountessPIA), can bear witness that I've been going on and on about this because I'm first a g...

This one’s for The Man Who Will One Day Become My Soul-Mate in Crime *wink. # Dear future Husband of mine, How are you, mi loveness? I’m not totally sure what my purpose in writing this letter is; I guess I just really wanted to talk to you. It’s so weird that I haven’t met you and I’m writing you, right? Well...  I have sooo many things I wanna say to you and gist you about and I don’t even know how to coordinate those thoughts and make them rhyme. So, this letter may seem all over the place, just be attentive, you’ll understand, because you’re sooo super smart...mwaaah. Right now, my love life is rather lacklustre  and I am heart-broken right now, I'll gist you... but I’m not embarrassed one bit about it or ashamed of not having a serious relationship (or a string of silly relationships). That mostly has to do with my determination not to date someone *just* to date them. I want more than that from my love life and I know you’re absolutely wort...

A couple of days ago, my friend Sodeeq and I were having our usual chit-chat and suddenly, he said to me ‘Babe, live a little...’ That statement prompted me to start to think about those things I've always wanted to do but just haven't gotten round to doing. During my self search, I suddenly discovered I haven't really really like really done anything very fun or memorable these past years of my life (except, of course, my night out with the girls (Sasa, Leemah and Steph last year....lol. that was super memorable... *lip sealed*)... and that is funny because I consider myself a very adventurous person. I looove travelling, learning about other cultures and all so I don't know why I've been this 'boring'... So I decided to take a break from all the 'seriousness' going on in my life right now and write down some 30 things (fun, some not-so-fun things) I'd like to do on or before I clock 30, and in my awesome graciousness, I have de...

If you're not a real man and you're not aspiring to be one, please ignore everything you see here :| Being a real man no be by muscles o Hello guys, I write you from the groanings of my tiny heart, please indulge me. First, what’s the deal with this new trend y’all rocking these days? This new trend of beating women to stupor/even to death? We all have heard the Pistorius, Akolade stories. And there is also this rape thing everywhere... What is it? What what what is wrong with you gaaaaaan sef... I feel very troubled that men who are supposed to protect the women in their lives end up being their worst nightmares. Get a grip on yourselves boys! Look! A muscular body,   fat bank account, good friends network, a good job, political positions, chieftaincy titles, religious position, baritone voice, hairy chest, athletic body, goatee, big grammar, ability to father a child, big car, big house, international connections. All these can make you a man but...

I wrote this poetic something on 12th February 2008, I was in SSS3 :)... Please, don't laugh...check it out after the cut...

It’s been a beautiful and restful day… but I’m very pissed and this has got absolutely nothing to do with Nike, believe me. I’m so pissed at the kind of people that makes up my generation. I’m so pissed, I’m crying right now. The kind of greed and lust and immorality and sheer evil that’s going on all around me. That’s what I’m pissed about. We all read about the BOWEN girl that was killed last week by cultists. Why? Because her ‘shakara’ was too much and they ‘wanted to teach her a lesson’. For crying out loud, it is said that as the population of the world stands right now, it’s 4 girls to one guy. and i'm sure there are so many guys who already have their ‘one girl’, that means you can have their other 3 to your 4…meaning there are soooo many other girls for your taking. So many girls you don’t have to ask to give you what you want.... (continue)

I've always wanted to own a blog, in fact I've been privileged to provide content for a couple of blogs and domains but.... you know how 'crammed' the life of a young diva can be (PS: I refer to a female hustler as a 'diva', thanks to Beyonce:)). Hello everyone, I'm Priscilla Iyanuoluwani Adeboye, the only African Countess (iLike to say that), I'm a.....yada yada. I really don't like to talk about myself but for the sake of this blog, I'll tell you more about me in a subsequent post. I'm more popular as a 'talker' than as a 'writer', but the interesting thing is that I write better than I speak. So, I present to some and introduce to others the 'writing part of me' in  pia1707.blogspot.com *clap clap:). I do solemnly swear:) that I'll strive to add value to you through this blog and also to serve you with hot, spicy, freshly grilled, crunchy, crispy, well-garnished, pianese FUN just the way you like i...
