Diary of an Honest Naturalista: Week 123

Alanta! Azonto! Galala! Suo! Etigi! Shakitibobo! Kukere! Skelewu! Shoki! Yahozee! Which other one again?

I am dancing all the Nigerian dances I can think of, and I believe I’m a pretty good dancer. My sister has put to bed again. Boma is now officially an elder sister, and I am now a second-time aunty. I am so glad she had a safe delivery. At a point, we were very anxious as we did not want her to have another miscarriage so God came through for us.

This time, she had a boy. Equation has balanced. But the fact that he’s a boy doesn’t mean I don’t have plans for his hair. He’s the cutest boy ever, and I see an afro on his head. I know my sister will be a bit sceptical about that seeing she just fully embraced the whole natural hair thing this year, but I would play my cards right.

I would make sure my new born nephew has a gigantic afro by the time he’s two years old, and then I would get a stylist to weave his hair from time to time, while I quickly take pictures, and upload them for the world to see. He would be a male natural hair child model. In fact, I might make him and Boma natural hair kid celebs, and they would become more popular that chichiromeoandme.
A girl can dream, right?

I have always had the fantasy of weaving my son’s hair. I think I will ask Dimeji about that. Are there primary schools in Nigeria who would allow a boy weave his hair? I want my son to be so cool that all his friends, teachers would be so all over him, and the headmaster would be so envious, and would be like

I know a lot of boys nowadays carry afro cos I see most of the boys in the teenage session of my church with afro, which is fascinating because when I was younger, boys had to cut their hair low. I hope when my time comes, schools would now be open to have small boys with woven hair.

Or am I dreaming too much?

Anyway, my sister has just had a son, and I would be experimenting my fantasies on him. Let’s see how that plays out.
