Nationality/Identity is a distinctly odd thing. It is a question I get asked on an almost daily basis. Unsurprising really considering the fact that I am Nigerian, was born in Britain and am living in America but working at the British Consulate. The joys of globalisation! Is it the accident of birth? Now I know...

Me, Myself and I. Sunday, August 19, 2007. THE UNWITTING SUGAR MUMMY. Yesterday a friend of mine chatted up a 21 year old guy. Now considering she is 29 , most people I know would gasp in horror at her sugar mummy antics, but in her defense she had no idea he was 8 years younger than she was. And she doesnt look 29, neither does he look 21 so she could be forgiven for thinking he was older. Okay, okay I exaggerate just a little bit. lol). And vice versa for the guys) and if so how much younger? On the fl...

Me, Myself and I. Wednesday, August 30, 2006. WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT? Now I dont mean to come across as someone who doesnt beleive in love; on the contary I do but as I said in my profile I tend to have cynical views usually when it involves this topic. It might be something to do with the fact that this word/emotion has been trivialised so much in recent times, especially by the media and in the fickle world of celebrity. That said, what do you think? Do you beleive in love at first sight?

Family: can't live with them, can't live without them. So why can I not get the tension out of my shoulders? What is it about the arrival of family that makes me want to justify every decision I have made in the last 3 years. Why do I constantly need to explain myself to them? Posted by Monef at 10:16 PM.

It's amazing how much I have come to care about him in such a short space of time,. I've known him forever, we've been friends for so long,. But lately it's so much more than that. I don't really know how to express it in words,. Except to say that I am a much better person for having him in my life. Originall...

Urrrrrgggghhhhhhhhh.That sums up exactly how I feel after the radical eating marathon that took place this weekend. Never has something the size of my stomach been forced to ingest as much as it had to this weekend. I deserve a spot in the Guinness book of records for this shit! Posted by Monef at 11:56 AM.

Set Go. Every morning (and evening), as I approach the subway station I hear those imaginary words in my head. There is the faintest crack of the starter pistol as I bunch up my feet in the customary flip-flops and grip my stilettos as tightly as possible. And then the race is on. Posted by Monef at 5:39 PM.

Me, Myself and I. Monday, November 13, 2006. Last weekend saw yet another attempt (by my somewhat crazy friend) at hooking me up. The babe called me on Thursday evening to say that she was dragging me along to some guy's birthday dinner party on saturday. Our conversation went something like this:. Me: so who is this guy then? Thinking maybe it was someone from her church I didnt know. Her: Oh, he's a friend of xxx's. I dont know him personally. Me: So why are you so keen to go to his birthday then?
