I find it a little strange that after almost three years of blogging, I have never done a "facts about me" post. That said, I decided to go big by stating 25 as opposed to stating 10 as I was initially tempted to do.
I've always been of the opinion that it's the little quirks that complete the puzzle of a person (until the puzzle pieces change totally, that is) so without much ado, here are 25 facts about your homegirl:

1. I'm very bad at basic math.

You know how people calculate sums in their heads? Nope. I do not do such. I'm a civilized person who uses calculators for their very purpose, ya know?

2. I'm Igbo.

I get the "what tribe are you?" question a lot. I'm from Imo state, Nigeria. Let me use this medium as a quick tutorial sesh. There are five Igbo states- Anambra, Abia, Imo, Ebonyi, Enugu. Yes, this means that Rivers, Delta, Crossrivers, and Benin are NOT Igbo states. I also get the "Apart from Hausa and Yoruba tribes, the remaining are Igbo na" statement a lot. The State and Capital chart would beg to differ.

3. My other names:

Olivia, Nwamara, Ugochi.
4. I think school is fun.

Apart from the frustration, constant pressure of exams and stress, being in a strictly learning environment is pretty cool actually.

5. Margaret Zhang is my girl crush.

Yes, it's a thing. I really really love Lorde but Margaret trumps Lorde any day.

6. I don't fix weaves.

I just don't. *shrugs*

7. I'm studying Physiotherapy at the College of Medicine of the University of Lagos.

Physiotherapy means physical therapy (not massage!) and it's a five year course. I have 2.5 years left.

8. My parents and I are G's.


I'm just not one of those children who lie to my parents or necessarily fear them.

9. I sing.

And I'm pretty good actually albeit a little rusty. Been a while since I used my vocal cords for anything other than passing important information, chatting with my friends or screaming when the team or person I support wins.

10. I wish I was born with 3b hair.

You know, my wish isn't too far fetched. I just want the type of curls one gets when one does a Jerry Curl perm. It's not that I don't love my hair. I just love my hair at a certain length. Medium length 4c hair is quite difficult to manage.

Confused? Here's a chart to clarify things a bit:


11. I love colours.

Just not in my Wardrobe and my living space. Makes me kinda crazy especially when the colours clash. *shivers*. I love yellow, pastel pink, blue and greyish purple for design though. Colours are pretty to look at. I just dislike wearing them.

12. I don't like body con anything.

They are so uncomfortable. When I dress up or choose an outfit, the second thing on my checklist is comfort. The first is not looking crazy of course.
