Into the Deep

Hi guys! How’ve y’all been?

Yesss!!!

It’s meee!!!

I’m back!!!

Long time!!!

   Actually, long time doesn’t even begin to describe it. It’s actually been over a year since my last Post. I mean Ebola was still in the country as at then. It’s not like it was intentional though,what just started as laziness and procrastination then morphed into busyness and just became full blown lack of interest after a while. I’ve really missed this and I knew sooner or later I was gonna return to blogging. And to those who never stopped asking me about this blog,I dedicate my comeback to you all. Feels good to know that my write-ups meant something to some people.

  Now,unto the topic for today.

You see, this picture here was used by one of my BBM contacts as DP recently and it caught my attention. Even though this wasn’t the first time I was seeing it but being who I am,I decided to look for trouble and the chat went something like this:

Me: What’s up?

She: *rotfl*

Me: Lol. Why are you laughing na?

She: Cos obviously you read my dp

Me: Lool. I just want us to talk about atoms ni

She: *rotfl* ode

   In my mind I was like,’just as I expected’. Now I’m sure I’m not the only one who has seen this DP and truth is,I think it’s time somebody finally spoke up about this. Like, Naija girls,seriously??? You people really wanna talk about atoms and faraway galaxies and magic and death? Even you that didn’t go to science class will say they want to talk about atoms? Or galaxies? How many galaxies do you even know that you want to talk about? (I’m sure some ladies don’t even know that Milky Way is a galaxy and not just chocolate).

And then death? Lmao. DEATH OO??? In this country where everybody believes they shall not die but live to declare the glory of God? I mean,let’s be serious most of the things on the picture are ridiculous to talk about,at least in this part of the world(except maybe sex of course),which brings me to what I feel is the real issue at hand; the desire to appear deep and intellectual. It’s something I’ve noticed is lowkey becoming a trend on social media. If you’ve also noticed that the amount of people claiming to be sapiosexual of late has increased then you’ll understand what I mean. It seems the geeks have finally won,everybody wants to be smart now. Nobody wants to be Nicki Minaj anymore. Okay don’t get me wrong,intelligence is a lovely quality and I’m not saying there aren’t ladies amongst us who are really sapiosexual(means to be attracted to intelligence by the way) but honestly when you look at 99% of the ladies claiming deep or sapiosexual,you’ll be like…

You ke? Sapio-what? Maifren…

   You can’t be consuming Africa Magic Yoruba or telemundo 24/7 and come and be forming sapiosexual for me(no offence but I still think there’s a correlation between the amount of time spent watching afmag and intelligence). And in my honest opinion ,intelligence is not for everybody and I think that’s okay. Don’t pretend you’re interested in quantum physics when deep down all you wanna talk about it how one woman turned to vulture in a yoruba movie you watched or how Allejandro finally proposed to Santiana on Telemundo. It definitely doesn’t improve your chances in the Bae Market I assure you because the man you’re trying to form deep for may just be attracted to big boobs or worse still,would see you for the phoney that you are if he’s actually sapiosexual. You may even end up missing out on a fellow shameless Afmag lover like you. Lol

   See,it’s good to broaden your knowledge on some topics so you can engage better in conversations,I agree. In fact I highly recommend it but if it’s not in you,it’s not in you my sister.(Yes! Peak Milk lied)

It’s not in everybody please

   It’s when you’re forcing yourself to learn about football, for example, that you end up frustrating bae with questions like ‘Why does Arsenal not play in World cup or why is Messi not the FIFA president?’.

Until Bae is like…

    So my point is,whether you’re sapiosexual,bobosexual(attracted to shakiti bobo) or just maga-sexual,just be you my dear. If all you can offer is a pretty face,then by all means carry your fine face with/without make up with your head held up high; and if it’s only fanta bottle figure you can offer,please keep in shape and let boys keep twisting their necks to check you out. Somebody will still find you interesting (maybe not me o, but somebody sha). But abeg don’t force yourself to be Chimamanda when you have Iya Rainbow traits flourishing strongly in you. Not every guy is into the deep, really. It’s not bad to be a ‘What’s up?’ chick or to know what’s up. I mean, aren’t you on WhatsApp? So just be yourself.

We can’t all be deep,but we can all be real.

   So what do you think guys? Please I’d like to hear from you in the comments section,especially after such a long while 😀

PS:  I have focused on the ladies only majorly because I feel this sort of behaviour is commonest among them.
