The posts this year
were all thrilling and captivating…but there would some of them that will pull
you off your feet and make you glued to your screen. There would be a lot that
will make a smile linger on your face and fascinate you.
I’ve decided to give
you my top 10 posts for the year. I really enjoyed writing these posts, I got amazing
feedback from readers and they made my year!
Below are my top 10
posts:
This is my best
write-up this year. A story based on my life in Lagos, the hopeless romantic
(Fine guy in kaftan) narrated my experience with a nice man, who decided to
assist me when a conflict occurred along the road because our bus hit a car.
The story taught me
that we have men that assist with pure intentions; without any ulterior motive.
Yes, there are men out there who render assistance without expecting anything
in return. A man helping you doesn’t mean he likes you, ya know?
The Precious Figure
centres on the life of a Muslimah (Fareedah), who sought love the wrong way.
Soon, she learnt a bitter lesson and understood what it takes to find the right
man. It preaches the essence of abiding by Allah’s commandment and being proud
of the hijab (which is compulsory on all Muslimahs).
The Precious Figure
became more popular than Love by Fate and had a wide fan base. The positive
feedbacks were also amazing!
3. Ifeanyi
Ifeanyi (The story of a
shoe seller) set the foundation for writing on Facebook. Based on a colleague’s
advice, I decided to write directly on my wall rather than share from my
Facebook page.
This advice shaped me
and created a building block for the blog page. Ifeanyi is also an interesting
article on ‘Life is an Art’ segment.
4. Theft
Theft was told from the viewpoint
of me and my sister talked about theft stories and various incidents of theft
in Lagos. Every reader had one or more story to tell.
The recipe is great…and
I still look forward to preparing the food. Looking at a picture displaying a
plate of Caribbean rice makes me salivate!
6. Unnoticed
On Love Prose segment,
Unnoticed talks about a poor man and his love for a lady who comes from a
wealthy home…and their love will never be noticed.
Readers, who had
experienced something similar could relate to the prose.
I interviewed a popular
and prolific Barbadian actor. It was a great experience and I felt honoured
that she accepted my interview invitation.
My Not So Perfect Life
by Sophie Kinsella was filled with lots of lessons. I didn’t hoard the lessons I gained while
reading the novel. I decided to share it with my blog readers!
I love snacks so much
(plantain chips, potato chips, biscuit, cake, popcorn, chocolates…just name
it!) My bags would always contain one or two of these. So I wrote on my deep
love for Popstar popcorn and how I broke the heart of my former lover (plantain
chips) to be with Popstar popcorn.
Akara and Bread’s story
got people asking lots of funny questions and colleagues teasing me for weeks!
