Questions I Don't Want To Be asked In 2016

Hiya!
It's some hours to the new year and I'm just too excited cos I'm thankful for the past 365 days so far. 
I'm sure you have a lot to be thankful to God for.  The fact that you're alive,  hale and hearty is one major reason why you should be.
So you see,  there are some kinda questions some people ask and in your head, you'll  be like "how do I answer this person? " it's better you don't even ask me at all..... In fact,  I just don't want be asked those kinda embarrassing questions in 2016...... Questions like :
1. How is school? : ahmean!  I wrote my final exams in UNILAG since December 2014,started my NYSC in April 2015, do you wish me well at all?....  Most times I don't answer these people who ask me such question but in 2016, if you should ask me "how is school ".  Ah! ,  E nor go funny o.

2. No share From the allowee? : for Christ sake I earn 19thousand, 8 hundred naira.  I choose not to write it in digits so most of y'all don't mistake it for one hundred and ninty eight thousand naira.  Ahmean!  It's not fair.  Bank deducts 200 naira from 19k8 monthly,  how much do I have to survive on? 

3.  When will you get married?.: some  primitive naija minded people assume that when you're through with school and  NYSC..... The next thing for you to plan or think of is to get married. 
Worst of all is when you attend a friend's wedding where most of the older guests  knows you. Ah!  It af be for you. 
Ahahn!  Wattapun!  Please Let God's will be done o.  Biko..... LET God's will be done.  Thank you. 

4. So what next after NYSC? : thank you,  I appreciate your concern..... In fact,  that's a very thoughtful question but please don't ask me if  you don't have a job for me,  dont ask me if you want to hold on to my plans after nysc and watch if I'll make a flaw,  don't ask me if you're not my relative/ mentor/close pal.  Please,  just don't ask me.  Instead ask God.

Any other question?  Have people choked you up with  too many embarrassing questions this year?. Please share them with me in the comment box. 

See you next year darling.

Social Media Craze (1)

I thought of starting a series post that'll  be featured on the blog for a month(I. E 4 posts of same topic in 4weeks).  Cool thoughts,  right?  I'd start with this social media post and try to get updated with the series thingy in subsequent month.
Social media  are computer-related tools that allow people create, share or exchange information, career interests, ideas, and pictures/videos in virtual communities and network through the use of Internet. 
In a way I'd say it's abused,  the use of social media has gone way beyond what it's intended for..... Most of us get informed in one way or the other through most of these social media platforms while others choose to give us personal information that's  of less benefits or use to us.
One of the reasons why I dislike it,  I try to avoid going to some platforms  it but I still find myself scrolling through my time line...... Giggling at that funny meme,  admiring that cute couple I just saw on Belle naija, liking / retweeting that bad Belle/ hilarious post on Twitter..... I've  had enough!..... Or do I say I jes can't get enough..... Oh well! 
Can I deal?  Yes!. 
Do I enjoy the dramas?.  Maybe/ maybe not *rollseyes*
Do I want more drama?  Of course,  I could be a good story teller to those who missed it. 
Do I love the DMs,  Inbox messages?  Hell, No! *straight face *
I'm sure most of us have had a bit of crazy experience on one of these platforms,  if not all. 
I've got weekly series of my thoughts on these different platforms.  Starting with Facebook down to Google +.  I'd only give a detailed write up on platforms of which I've had crazy experience with different species of higher animals. 
This is just to let you know I'm game for this post cos  I've got  a prepared write up on my experience on these platform ranging from Facebook,  Twitter,  IG,  whatsapp,  BBM,  Gmail,  google+, LinkedIn,  blogger.  Just can't wait to share some of my experience on each of these platform.  Of course,  I'd air my views on so many things I wish could be installed / activated on each of these platforms.
WHICH PLATFORM DO I NEED TO GIVE A TRY?
For now, YouTube and Periscope.
I'm not active on snapchat.....  I only opened an account but had issues on how to go about it,  I just woke up one morning and deleted the app (I need space for movies abeg) .
  Periscope is what I'd really love to give a try,  I'd definitely open a Periscope account one day(learnt it's good for bloggers,  I'd give it a try tsha ).  I know YouTube is eagerly waiting for  an Aspiring presenter like me,  I still owe me an account on YouTube. 
So which platform do you need to give a try ?  Share them with me in the comment box

Do have a stress less and fulfilled week.
Happy New month in advance.
