In my last video where I played Never Have I Ever with my best friend, I promised to do a separate video about the time I got into a physical fight with a certain somebody. Well, I fulfilled my promise in this new video. Please don't judge me ooo. I don't know how to fight [...]
A genie appears, grants me a wish to choose one notable African personality I want to meet, what do you think my answer would be? I feel like everybody that knows me personally will say SIMI. But my dears, you are wrong 😂. I definitely want to meet Simi but you know why I won't [...]
Imagine being married to the heir to the king. Imagine having a happy family - Your husband, Oranmiyan. Your son, Oluorogbo. Imagine the city was Ile-Ife of the Yorubas. Imagine if Ile-Ife was being attacked by the Ìgbòs, another Yoruba clan. Imagine if they were kidnapping and enslaving Ile-Ife citizens weekly. Imagine if all the [...]
Hi my darling, Even though I've lived in Lagos State, Nigeria all my life, my family is originally from Ogun State, Nigeria and the language we speak is Yoruba. I like to call it the language of the deep because there really is some unnecessarily deep sturv going on there😂. Some people still find it [...]
Hi my darling! I hope you're still holding up fine. Remember it's okay to take a break for yourself and come back strong enough to fight for everything that truly matters.

Hi my darling! Today, I'd be sharing four Instagram accounts I love following, why I follow them and why you should maybe follow them too! @diaryofanaijagirl I mentioned this page when I talked about my favourite Naija bloggers here and my reason is the same. She always posts truly inspiring content and I totally admire [...]
Dear Content Creator, Many times, we are our own greatest enemies and we don't even realise it. Sometime in 2018, I made a post where I listed some signs that you are your own greatest enemy. If you haven't seen it, you should consider taking a peep. I believe that there are also signs like [...]

Have you ever wondered what the point of social media is? I know I have. I actually once took a pen and paper and started writing down the lessons I've learned from social media. You see, the world of social media can be difficult to navigate. It's a place made of people, by people and [...]
Hey you! How are you holding up? Sometimes, I'm just on my bed or in the bathroom and the reality randomly hits me again. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKING PANDEMIC! It's funny how I'm not freaking out anymore the way I was at the beginning of this thing. I followed some tips [...]
It's hard to write about who I am today. It's even harder to write about how I became who I am today. You see, the person that I am at the moment is shaped by every single one of my previous experiences. Every person I have met. Every place I have been. Everything I have [...]
When people ask me what my favourite food is, I always say one of two things: I don't have a favourite food.Chicken and Chips, Ice-cream for dessert. I'll explain. I do not have a favourite food. There are foods I like which include fried plantain, pasta, fruit salads, samosas etc. But none of these are [...]
From time to time, I sit back and think about what my blog is now and what it was when I started. And I'm usually unable to do that without thinking of who I am now and who I was when I started. When I started this blog, it was called Through my Tiny Eyes. [...]
Hi guys! How are you doing? I hope you are staying safe and staying protected? I also hope you're staying safe mentally and emotionally and taking time for yourself if you need to. Remember that it's okay to take a step back. Take some time off social media or mute any accounts that may be [...]
Today makes it 20 years since my biological dad passed. In a world where everybody wants to tell you how to do everything, - how to parent your kids, how to love, how to be a friend, how to process pain - this is one pain I’ve never really known how to process. My earliest [...]
Have you felt an itch in your throat and thought "Oh my God, is this it!" ? Have you sneezed and instantly started to Google the symptoms of coronavirus even though you already Googled it 17 times in the last 24 hours? Have you felt a little warm and touched your neck several times to [...]
How do people get out of bed when they don’t feel up to it? When nursing deep emotional pain? How do you take off your covers and put your feet in your slippers when you can feel your heart being squeezed, your chest tightening up, a ball in your throat, a pit in your stomach, a [...]
If you know me well enough, you'll know that I'm always making a list of new places to eat but somehow, I end up eating at the same 2 or 3 places. I cannot, for the life of me, understand why. Anyways, I finally went somewhere new for the first time in a long while [...]
I remember sitting on the pavement by the garden in the house I grew up in, asking my aunty one short question "Why can't I be everything?" I don't remember the answer she gave me anymore but I remember exactly what I was thinking when I asked that question.
Hiiiiiiiii!!! Welcome back! I feel like I need to explain why this blog is now tomioflagos.com. My explanation might give you a little inkling into why I've been away for the longest time. So...my original blog was hacked. I don't know what happened exactly but I just started getting a lot of spam posts like [...]
