I didn’t even know Nanya had a nickname with ‘container’ as a suffix…looooool. Hey BMG blog readers, please find below my very 1st male guest feature on the blog. The reason this is the first is not from a reluctance to feature more male guests but because so far, all the prospective male guests I’ve approached have proved elusive. I have sent out a number of requests to my male readers asking them to feature, and I find myself chasing,…
Go on YouTube. Full stop. Period. … … … I’ve always wanted to do what I just did- write a blog post that masquerades as a Medium post. Short, sweet and straight to the point. On a serious note though, passing your full G drive test is as easy as going on YouTube and watching tons of videos that show the driving test route for the town/city you reside in. If you live in the…
The funniest conversations happen in my Twitter DM… hahaha… First, there was the one guy who kept saying, “hi”, and “hello” to me several times, even after I tried to inquire as to the purpose of his salutations. Then, there was another person who persistently asked me if I was married, and was probably going to ask me to sponsor him to move to Canada until I blocked him.

The 1st indicator of that is when you arrive and begin to look for a place to rent. The monthly rent prices will give you a headache and heart ache if you are not careful. It’s been 16 months of living in the GTA and I wanted to share with you some of my thrifty…
You guys remember how I failed my road test/driving test the first time in this country? I wrote about it here. Well after a second attempt, I passed in flying colors (to the glory of God and his son Jesus). I was issued my G2 license that allows me to drive on any expressway here but would require me to apply for a full G license in a few years time. My 2nd drive instructor who helped me pass the…
If Bukky didn’t live in downtown Toronto and I in Mississauga, I truly believe we would have been on our way to a very strong friendship…. Looooool! Bukky comes across as having a huge sense of humor and is very charming. She loves good food, and towards the end of the summer, she reached out to me to go and ‘charter’ tatashe pepper and tomatoes in my freezer to cover for the cold winter months. She and I connected on…
