Yayyyyy!!!
I’m so excited people. I’m now a contributor/writer on BellaNaija.com and Naija Stories!!! *doing my signature dance and grinning from ear to ear*
I’m so happy about it for two reasons:
#I didn’t know I could write like that. As in, I’ve always loved writing but the way I get inspiration these days especially after a cup of caramel latte brewed to perfection, hmmn, e no get part 2 (hehehe…just messing).
But really, I’m so glad I’m beginning to hone my writing skills and I thank God so much for the platforms He has provided through My blog, Naija Stories and now, BellaNaija. This brings me to my second reason.
#BellaNaija and Naija Stories are huge platforms for my kind of writing as it is so infused with Nigerian themes and humour.
It was put up today…
I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.

On an unrelated note, I saw this on a friend’s profile on Facebook and thought to share. Enjoy…
Men are Stronger Than Women?
Oh please! Can you bleed for a week and survive?Can you squeeze a 14 inch baby from a 9 centimeter hole?
Can you carry a 7 pound baby in your stomach for 9 months? Can you take care of a child, cook, clean, and talk on the phone at once?
Can you carry 108 pound shopping bags? Can you go a week only eating salad? Can you face heartbreak? Can you watch the love of your life be with someone else?
Can you burn your forehead with a straightener and not complain? Can you walk all day on 6 inch stilettos?
Can you cry all night then wake up the next morning like everything’s okay?
I didn’t think so!
Okay, I’m no feminist and I plan to be a submissive wife oh but I found it quite interesting.
That’s all folks (for now)

Yeah, Temi i read the story and just knew it had to be you. I love the fact that your Stories are all so real. Keep it up!
We all plan to be submissive women. But thats some home truth. Women know how to pull through the most difficult circumstances.

lol… I’m getting predictable hehehe…thanks so much Amira.xxx Women are so strong. God help us.
Nov 12, 2010 @ 15:35:15
Congrats Temi,
The story really got me hooked till the very last letter!
I loved how you built the suspense and how delicately you broke the good news at the end… Great stuff!
BTW, I observed you’d been a regular ‘commenter’ on BN before the story. Guess it just pays off to study the landscape and have a feel before launching in. Big ups again!

thank you so much Gbenga. I called you Egbe on your blog, lol. I love BellaNaija’s work and it is such a privilege to be able to contribute to what I admire so much. Lovely blog you’ve got. Keep it up. It’s going straight to my blog roll…:D
Nov 13, 2010 @ 14:24:27
Temi,
Congrats on your new gig with Bellanaija.com
Your post on Bella “The Waiting” so resonate with me in more ways than one.
I had a similar personal experience and it was awful. You have encouraged me to blog about it, so watch out and i will be telling my personal experience before we had our 2 lovely children.
You are doing a great job and I am so proud of sisters doing their thing.
Nov 16, 2010 @ 15:03:41
Thank you so much. I’m so happy that it is now a thing of testimony. God is indeed a great God!
Nov 13, 2010 @ 22:39:39
Congrats and keep the momentum going. Following you on Twitter.

Thanks Myne. Naija Stories offers a wider platform and that is why I thought to share it there too. Thank you.x
