5 Reasons Why I Am Glad Game Of Thrones Series Is Over

Game of Thrones came to a halt on May 19th 2019 and it has been quite tortuous since then.

My brother recommended the Game of Thrones series to me. Prior to his recommendation, I was getting sick and tired of people speaking in a high tone with a face filled with disbelief "Are you serious? You do not know what you are missing". So, I binge-watched the game of thrones series up until season seven and joined others in wait for the final season.

During my wait for the final season of the series, I also got on my high horse and looked down on those who had never seen a single episode of the series because I had fallen deeply in love with the series.

Well, I am glad it is over because;

GOT Trapped In Time – I might be going about my days business but in actual fact, I was in a different time. I saw cars and motorcycles as horses with carts. I saw electricity as a nuisance and wanted to light a candle instead. My phone to me was a raven. And I had a dragon I could hop on.

GOT Into Character; I was constantly in character. Talked differently, my poise everything changed. In my little head, I could engage in sword fights too like Brienne of Tarth, Arya Stark. Some other days I was a ladylike Cersei Lannister, Sansa Stark.
On this note, I will hail the creator of Game of Thrones for this wonderful masterpiece that kept a full display of female power all through the series.

GOT In My Feelings; A lot of deaths! I just could not take it. At times I wept like a baby. They were no longer characters to me they were real persons. Yes, I know! It's crazy.
And all the overwhelming plot twists kept me at the edge of my seat.

GOT A Smart Mouth; If you did not notice the constant taunts between the characters you were obviously not paying attention. I learnt a lot 😁.

GOT Crush; Whenever Jon snow’s face comes on my screen, I do not care I am grinning hard. Let's not get started on his voice. I planned a wedding in my head with Jon Snow but he went with his pretty lady so we are divorced now.
Is it weird that I named my duvet Jon Snow?
Nah! Not weird at all.

It hurts but I am glad I got to experience it all. And I am back to reality. I now realise that I am not some lady with some fancy titles. And most importantly I could not make my problems go away by simply saying “dracarys”.

Books To Read In Your Free Time

With a Pandemic before us and the constant advise to wash our hands, social distancing, quarantine. I feel like the best buddy these times is really a book. Not just any book! A good book. So I recommend the following books knowing that you should like it because they are really good. 1. Pride And Prejudice by Jane Austen Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen is set in a different time so you get to escape from the happenings around you and find solace in a different time. Like a handy time machine. And it is also about love so how about that? 2. A Religious Book. As we try to just stay calm and far away from others as much as we can. If you are religious like me, you may cling to the Bible, the Quran, according to your faith. This I know is very rewarding. Like a personal counsellor. 3. Born A Crime by Trevor Noah. Details the childhood of Trevor Noah. Really fun and i...

The People

I know a place filled with a carefree lot. The citizens love living life fast and on the edge. Lord knows how hard they dance on the edge despite knowing that the rock might tilt and they end up at the bottom of the hill. Another thing these people love besides living fast and loud is Hope. One would not blame them because hope seemed to be the only constant thing in their lives. Hope was always there. They could be in a vehicle that is about to explode and their general thought would be; I know this vehicle is about to go up in flames and we will all die but I, however, HOPE!! it does not happen before I get to my destination. They make all sorts of wild decisions; Let us build our houses close to oil fields. And in times of an explosion, we grieve and continue living there anyway. What happens when a pandemic occurs? They fold their arms and hope somehow it will just go away. And with a government that does not put the ci...

Nigerians Versus Foreign Accents

For Nigerians, there is only one solution to a shut door and that is breaking the entire building down. This is because Nigerians always find a way to get through. The fight is never easy. This is why the older generation always dishes out nuggets on survival to the younger generation. You just have to survive! Even if it means changing a lot of things about yourself like your complexion, age, accent. Today, I am going to focus on fake accents. This almost every Nigerian is guilty of. Sounding foreign in order to be steps ahead of people who sound “ local” . With this fake accent, you can penetrate into almost any space in the society. Does not matter the nationality you represent as long as you sound foreign. One would assume this must be pretty frustrating. Yes, it is. How is this frustration eased? By making fun of those who still speak with a Nigerian intonation by calling them derogatory names when in truth, the individual with both a Brit...
