Wonder cup - What's your flavour?

Do you know there's a tea for everything? You are shocked right, I was too when I discovered.

If everyone was like me, the tea industry will be non existent. When people ask me, do you drink tea? I smile and nod, 'green tea' I say before you ask the mandatory 'what kind of tea' question. What I often neglect to say is that I drink so much green tea that I only buy one pack every three months. Pack here does not mean carton, it means pack.

So the other day, I bounced into Blenco, made my way to the tea session wanting to just pick my green tea and get out. But the shelf would not let me. I was awe struck by the sheer number of tea types there are. Bright eyes tea, smoother skin tea, arthritis tea, man& woman love tea, sharper mind tea, muscle tea, longer hair tea. Name it, there is a tea for it.

Got me wondering, are these teas actually effective or is the tea market under the spot light for 'scam of the year'? I mean, if muscle building tea actually works, why should anyone slave at the gym? I

f flat tummy tea is the truth, no need to avoid late night snacking. Will anyone go through endless medications when they can just take arthritis tea? Or perhaps tea variants are the best kept secret that the world is waiting for.

Biko tell me, are you a tea drinker? What's your flavour? Are these tea wonders for real. Educate us abeg...

A WIFE IS LIKE A CAR!!!

I love Nigerians! We are the definition of the phrase: ‘your brother’s keeper’. We watch out for others so much it is almost too much. It could be almost annoying at times, at other times it could be the saving grace in certain situations. For instance, in my quest to get to work this morning, I had to wait a few minutes at car-wash bus-stop for the God-sent who was going to help me to work. As I waited, a young woman driving one of those extremely feminine Beetle cars parked and got out of her car. She hurriedly opened the bonnet and discovered the car was overheating. Leaving the bonnet open, she went to her car to get a bottle of water. She was about to pour the water into the carburetor when one of the LAWMA officials who had already crossed the road to go wherever it is he was going hurriedly crossed back screaming: “madam, no pour the water, no pour the water!”. Shocked, she paused to look. In no time, the man was standing by her and exp...

WHAT NO ONE TELLS THE BRIDE

You know how politicians and politically aware people eagerly await a new government’s 100 days in office? Publications highlighting the government’s achievements in the time frame, bearing assurances and fresh promises to silence wailing wailers flood the media. 100 days in office is usually a big deal. Since my husband is so into politics and so not into anniversaries, I decided to ignore our 3 months month-niversary and celebrate 100 days in marriage instead. Well, it didn’t quite work. And that’s perhaps where I should start. There are several things the bride does not hear before she becomes a wife. Many she is outrightly not told, others she is too happy or too busy to understand. Then she gets married and after the long awaited event, her ‘eyes clear’. Sometimes, the giddy feeling lasts till the honeymoon is over, but when she returns home with her husband, reality hits. Even when the new wife has the most understanding husband and uninterested far-away in-...

I CAN TELL THE FUTURE!!!!

It’s funny how so many things never really chan ge in life, even after so long a time. There are just those little things that still draw out the same reactions from us no matter how often they happen. Like a compliment from someone important, makes us smile regardless of how many people told us the exact same things before, or a call from someone really annoying who just wouldn’t get the message, we most likely hiss before we know it, or a credit alert from our bank, makes our eyes brighter even if for just that second, and a lot of other things that we do every time certain things happen. It’s even funnier how we do not realize that we do all those things all those times. Many of us like to think and say we are dynamic and not easily predictable. Some of us even claim to be as new as the mercies of God which are actually new every morning. Regardless, it’s those little things that can be predicted that assure those close to us of the continuity of the bond we share. A gi...
