Confessions of a V-day loser



l have never received a heart shaped gift ever. In my 24 years on this planet I have never ever had a Valentine on Valentine’s Day. Like, never ever.

I have never had a giant teddy bear with my name at my doorstep. Never received a hand written card so cute it makes everyone else wanna vom. Never gotten to eat an entire box of chocolates (that I haven’t paid for myself. Of
course I regularly eat boxes of chocolates, let’s be real here.)

Anyway, the point is, if you’re going to feel pity for someone on February 14, it’d probably be me as I’m the ultimate Valentine’s Day Loser.
At least I think that’s how I’m supposed to feel being single on the one day of the year that is all about publicly declaring love for your Soulmate

But the truth is, I’m quite OK with it.  Maybe I finally figured out that your relationship status does not define who you are. It does not make you a better person. It does not make you prettier, smarter or funnier. And just ‘cos you’re single on V-Day, it most certainly does not mean you’ll die in your apartment all alone, the neighbours
discovering your body mauled by rats and roaches #so gross# which is what I used to think
.
Having had 24 years to get used to the idea, I can now get through the day with my self-esteem firmly in tact. If this is your first V-Day single, or if you’re wondering how you’re going to deal with riding solo, this is my advice to you…

Firstly, it’s totally normal to feel a bit crap. Everyone wants to find love and this day just serves like a punch-in-the-face reminder that you haven’t. But this is not the day to drink too much red wine and start sending cringe-y texts to THAT person.

Secondly, I learnt a very long time ago  that there are three words guaranteed to get you in a pink bubble. So you must promise me now you will never, not under ANY circumstances think them, utter them or believe them.
They are, “I’m all alone!!!”
Closely followed by, “Nobody loves me!!!”
Both of these phrases are lies. Pure, evil lies. Ok, so it’s true that there might not be a blue toothbrush next to your pink one, but you are not “all alone”, and there are, in fact, LOTS of
people who love you. Unless you’re a racist bigot  in which case, I can’t help you.

Thirdly, you must use social media with caution or you risk “IF I SEE ANOTHER FREAKING INSTAGRAM WITH THE HASHTAG #MYBOOWUVSME I’M GONNA FREAKING LOSE MY SANITY YOU SLOBS #rage#.

While it genuinely makes me happy to see my friends all loved up 363 days of the year, I learnt that when feeling emotionally vulnerable, it’s best to avoid Instagram and Facebook on the 14th AND the 15th of February – give a day for feeds to clear of the nauseating one-dessert-two-spoons pictures.

And finally, the best way to spend Valentine’s Day is some quality time with the one person you should love more than anyone else in this world – you! Plan to do something that makes you insanely happy.
This year, I’m thinking it will involve one or all of the following: pancakes, sweet potato fries,
cookies and cream icecream, my two best single friends, wine, laughs, and absolutely NO tears.
But look, if all that fails, just get up, shower, go to work and then do your usual saturday night thing… In other words, stick to your routine because it is just another day, after all.

24 WORDS FROM 2015 ELECTIONS, AND MY RIDICULOUS MEANINGS FROM THEM.


By Arc. Duru Chimezie

This is a sponsored submission from 360talkatives blog.
To DURU CHIMEZIE, a Political Party Logo is "any household items and furniture like brooms, umbrella, sofa, center-table, rug, etc". Here are the other 23 meanings he has given words and items from the 2015 elections. You'd really enjoy this.






Last week, we were adequately drunk with good ‘nonsenseness’ even though it was really fun, judging by the Whatsapp and text messages I got from readers (still wondering if placing comments on a blog is some sort of poisoned chalice, though). However, this week, I have chosen to feel that we could be a little bit saner and aware of what’s going on around us (being nonsense is equivalent to sitting in a lonely room and covering yourself up in four thick blankets and not knowing where you are). We can now address our immediate problems and make good noise about more useful things. Thus, I came up with this title. But I am grateful to my readers, for taking the time to read the two submissions after all.

So it’s election year (you must be living under a rock if you are only getting to know that now), and we have already been burnt to the marrow by the electioneering and politicking. The campaigns have been intense and people like myself have barely survived ear-drum damage arising from all manner of campaign jingles and slogans. Our ears are actually very full now. But how about the vocabulary we are served day in, day out? (Did I just say served? They are actually rather shoved into our mouths). I easily felt it could make for good reading. So after sitting down and doing some compiling, here are the most popular words I got to hear in this year’s election period. I also did you guys a favour by doing my best to add their meanings to them albeit some being rather….well, pointless. Here we go, still:

say the word







A single true word,
Could make a bond,
A single genuine smile,
Could take friendship a mile;

Think someone is good?
Are they truthful and firm?
Know you'll lift their mood,
If you go ahead and tell them.

The abused child is in need,
For nothing really in the world,
Just the words that tell him,
That he is wanted and loved;

To that person from the slum,
That you thanked for what he's done,
His delight no one can mar,
Now he's made you his star.

Hurt can drive one crazy,
Fill with pain and worry
But aint no healing so amazing,
As the simple words "I'm sorry"

Now these little expressions,
Could count for worthy appreciation,
Interested in striking a chord?
All you need do,say the word.

5 worst movies of all time.

1. The love Guru
The Love Guru' was one of the worst films to
ever be put out with a mix of brainless comedy that will put you right to sleep. I am sorry if you had to put yourself through 2 hours of this as I did



2. Cat Woman
This is the number one kitty litter movie you will waste your data to download,watch and waste two hours of life you will never get back. It
received a whopping 3.2/10 stars, no wonder.




3. Disaster Movie.
The name of this movie should give all the credentials away. Friedberg and Seltzer are responsible for the string of awful movie spoofs that will fill your mind with 90 minutes of nothing. Enjoy





4. Meet the Spartans.
The maker of 'Meet The Spartans' thought he would make a spoof of the movies "300" "transformers" and "Ghost Rider" make a pathetic excuse for a movie. Who is budgeting these?




5. Raise the Titanic
This film was so expensive that Hollywood says it would have been cheaper to lower the Atlantic. This movie had a big flop in the box office and was never really talked about after it's release.

How to remain poor.



1. Never wakeup early.
 Keep stretching and turning in bed until you get too hungry to continue dozing. If there are no bedbugs, why hurry to get up?
2. Never plan how to spend your money.
Whenever you get money, start spending it right away and when it is finished, try to count and recall how you spent it.
3. Don’t think of saving until you have real big money... How can you save when you earn so little? Those telling you to save are not sympathetic to your burning needs.
4. Don’t engage in activities usually reserved for the “uneducated.” How can you, a graduate, engage in petty trade or home-based production? That is for people who never went to school.
5. Don’t think of starting a business until an angel comes from heaven and gives you capital. How do they expect you to invest before you get millions of Naira or Dollars? Even though more than half the businesses in your town were started with a few hundred Naira, you, as a smart person, can only start with millions.
6. Complain about everything except your own attitude: Blame the system, the. government and the banks that refuse to lend you money. They are all bad and do not want you to get rich.
7. Spend more than you earn. To achieve this, buy consumer products on credit and keep borrowing from friends and employers.
8. Compete in dressing. Make sure you wear the latest clothes among all the workers in your office. Whenever your neighbor buys a new phone, get one that is more expensive.
9. Get yourself a nice second-hand (used) car that costs more than three times your gross monthly pay. That will surely keep you in debt long enough to hinder the implementation of any bad plans that could make you accumulate capital.
10. Give your children everything they ask for since you are such a loving parent. They should not struggle for anything because you do not want them to suffer. That way, they will grow up lazy and hence poor enough to ensure they
Cannot  help you in your old age.

Women only.





“…I just want a God-fearing man…”

***Spoiler alert** this is not a sermon, sorry. For deep religious perspective, maybe I will do that in some other article.

***Safety alert** to the men reading this (but then I can’t understand why, I mean, just take a look at the title) …the wrath of some ladies is about to be incurred. You are strongly advised to proceed to place empty pot over head as detailed in diagram 1 of the included leaflet on precautionary measures, and to hold the pot cover in the fashion illustrated there.

—————–

After extensive and in-depth field research within its expected natural habitat, our scientists have made some salient findings concerning the “god-fearing man” (…well, the version of such a man most girls have in their minds, anyway)

It isn’t that he is scarce, or that you haven’t searched properly or prayed well enough. And it’s certainly not that he doesn’t like women, or that he is always in the church and does not want to be found. It is just one simple, constant fact.

The man does not exist.

Our scientists shall explain:

“…I just want a God-fearing man…” is all well and good for a woman to say, when that is what she actually wants. But then, she would also have to ask herself this question

“Would a God-fearing man want me?”

Now, back to our findings… Ladies, what some of you really want is a “god-fearing man” who can also eat you up expertly and slay you with the stamina of a horny pornstar juiced on sildenafil.

I don’t think the Holy Spirit inspires men that way… but I’ll ask next Sunday just to make sure.

Now, consider a scenario where a man is holding together his household as reasonably as this messed up economy of ours permits. He has his shit together and he does his family. responsibilities as he should. Every other thing is
fine except for one oft repeated statement

“…he doesn’t satisfy me sexually…”

—–

****Disclaimer** We have no personal experience in thecollation of that sort of data

Doro boss… Hmmm… Doro skillful… Ehen!

More importantly, our research fellows have heard it said on many different online fora by many other people, so they know of what they speak.

—–

But hold on. First of all consider that the man in question is in no way impotent, and that after the day’s exhaustion of doing his work diligently as a God-fearing man should; promptly, without avoiding it and without cutting corners, he still returns home early.

Note that here I said “home”, not mama Nkechi’s beer parlour that is just down the street and around the corner, close-by.

He returns home to give you some sweet-sweet loving as best a healthy man can, but his efforts – which should be seen as no way sloppy to someone without a gene for nymphomania – begin to fall flat to your expectations of
wild, tantric and acrobatic sex.

“…He doesn’t care enough to go down on me…”

****Personal advice** I think you should consider that at least he doesn’t care enough to go down on other women!

Now hold on. This is only for people who are married. I once saw a seventeen year old holding a placard saying something like “AIDS free generation… Without condoms, no sex… Be wise enough to condomise…” blah blah

That boy is supposed to be at home watching Naruto or gaming his playstation, not thinking about sex without condoms.

Now don’t get me wrong. It is very well known that at that age, youths’ brains are steeped in the soup of hormones and unrealistic ideas about love propagated by the media, trashy novels, and misguided friends.

As my Anambrarian friend would put it

“…Hormones ejero akwukwo. Ha amaro ife…” (hormones didn’t go to school, they don’t know anything).

What youths of that age need is a sense of purpose. Anything constructive that takes a huge chunk of their leisure time, be it extra reading to acheive higher grades at school and get more swag for that… or something as simple as beating a new game’s high score.

Not least of all, the ever important need for the guidance from their parents.

If all these are done, perhaps there would be fewer of the broken hearts reconcilable with prematurely broken hymens, and respite from porn, frequent masturbation and from embarassing erections that occur at random.

But I digress…

The results of our findings have led our team to believe that this is what most women who say “I just want a God- fearing man…” actually mean:

“…I just want a player whose attentions would remain solely with me…”

But that doesn’t even make sense, now does it?

The player, as opposed to the “God-fearing man” in its natural habitat, has in the course of his life acquired “a very special set of skills” which make him the player that he is.

He will look for you… He will find you… And he will *hold your hand* you.

He will *hold your hand* you, reeeeeal good.

Now, some women actually expect a player to forsake all his other missions and then focus solely on their own objective when they get married. But how can you reasonably expect him to eschew the characteristics that make him who he is, which was what endeared you to him in the first place?

Wait. Let me ask Ifa…

But if by any fat chance the player does change, and he’s no longer the swarthy, sex oozing demi-god you had grown to lust after, sorry… love, that is when anybody who cares to listen would begin to hear things like

“…We’ve simply lost our spark…”

In response to this, Socrates made this erudite comment in 659 BC

“Taa! …Spark, faya!” *mtscheww*

—–

****Caveat** As for unmarried adults who have full responsibility for themselves, it is our firm belief that preaching is a waste of time. Anyone who has an issue with that could always comment below. People who pay their own bills should be able to live their lives however they
wish. We shall speak more on that later…

—–

Our researchers also encountered a randomly occurring variable which came up enough times to make them consider factoring it in

“…You men are heartless…”

Says the recently dumped woman who against better judgement remained with said player specimen for his extensive narrow point immersion explorations, where after frequent occasions of passage, “narrow” has become highly debatable.

In all, from this research, our analysts have drawn the conclusion that women are the creators of the player specimen. It can be scientifically proven…

Now consider a body at rest, having negligible momentum to approach said woman mentioned in the above section because according to her:

“…You’re such a great guy. Every girl needs a guy like you… Smart, caring, intelligent. The girl who finds you will be so lucky…”

***Observation** You yourself, you don’t want to be lucky abi?

Now naturally, the guy’s mind would be something of the nature of

“…WTF?! …I’M A GUY LIKE ME..!”

This will soon become the past though; some identifiable time when he had thought that being a gentleman would get him the girl he had only the noblest of intentions for.

“You’re going after the wrong girl” someone might have told him. He wouldn’t listen.

Following the same pattern, after three or so similar speeches, girl after girl puts said guy on a long thing.

Guy swears revenge on all women.

Said guy blocks the next chic and sweet-talks her into a dark corner for “Aru aja” so fast that he wonders what he had been doing wrong all that time prior. He feels her clawing all over him, dragging him and licking his… erm… eyeballs… His eyeballs, yes.

****Comment** “Aru aja” could be connotatively said by my friends in the East to mean “the back to the wall”

It is not a noble art.

Now, the previously momentum-absent body feels all good inside. He feels a kind of power which had been to him up until that moment, only described.
A power that he never believed he could exploit because he believed he could never use it, or be a jerk to a woman simply for the fun of it.

Said guy leads same woman on a jolly ride until he has sucked enough life-juice from her and then decides to assign himself to a new mission… Which of course brings us to:

“…You men are heartless…”

Q.E.D

———

The next day’s morning paper headline would probably read like this:

HORROR!!!

WOMAN, (age), CHEWS OFF MAN’S …ERM… EYEBALL. YES, EYEBALL… REMANDED IN POLICE CUSTODY

WOMAN: “I love him…”
MAN: “Yeeeeh!”
RELATIVES: “It’s the work of the devil”
DEVIL: “…Na today?”

—-

***Conclusion**

So, my people… Enjoy your lives! Get drunk, smoke, orgy, conceive, abort, have a line of cocaine that’s as long as the River Niger…

“…It’s my life..!”

Steal, murder, kidnap, extort, propagate hateful agenda in the name of any religion you deem fit.

“…Who go fit stop us..?”

But in all this, just make sure you are ready to bear the full consequences of your actions ALONE, and not have a backup plan to come running to a purported foolishly all merciful, and easily deceived christian God when you realise that your life is upside down and that with your own hands you have been the sole architect of your doom.

“…The truth will set you free. But first it will make you miserable…”

What I am saying in essence is that there should be sincerity in all things, especially sincerity to oneself, gender irrespective. No matter how much we try to deceive ourselves, we all know what is right. Seek the truth, live the truth, be who you are and have no apologies for it. In your
journey through this life, you’re the only thing you can’t leave behind.
