The Adventures of Cosmic Yoruba
& Her Flying Machines too
Sometime last month, I read Cloth Girl by Marilyn Heward Mills and while I admit that I did not read the book’s blurb in its entirety before buying the book, I was nevertheless eager to read a book that was not only set in an African country during the colonial period but that also had…
I thought it’d be a good idea to write weekly posts in which I expose all the hair-related comments I’ve received during the week. It’d be a good way to vent as I am beginning to get really touchy when people even glance at my hair these days. I really need a positive place. Furthermore…
For some reason I thought I started this blog in November last year but I started it in April. I (almost) forgot my blog’s anniversary, it was April 21st, but as it is still April I am not too late in celebrating then! I don’t really have much to say except I am very surprised…

I have waited a long time to write this post. At first when I stumbled across a newspaper article -which I must state was in the gossip section, about a princess who was ‘too proud to marry’ I was shocked. I literally could not believe it. I had to check my calendars, iPod and everything…
Welcome to my WordPress blog! My first post on this blog is one that I started writing weeks ago and is a book review! ‘My Father’s Wives’ is a book with a very misleading blurb. I bought the book expecting one thing and I got another. However, it is possible that I did not read…
Such an eye-catching title isn’t it? To be more specific, it seems some Tanzanian women are actively searching for Chinese husbands! I really do not know whether to laugh or cry, nevertheless, I find this wholly interesting. So, the full stroy; I was searching Google for something or the other when I came across some…
