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”.

My Mother Is....

Putting together the perfect Mother’s Day message is never easy. This year, I kept staring at the blank sheet and all I could think of was how flawed my mother really is. On days like this, people really just like to highlight how much of superhero mothers are. However, even though my mother loves attention so much. She is just another human. A human who makes mistakes. Capable of forgetting to put down the food from the fire, Coiling up and falling asleep on the couch, biting her fingernails, Irrational and impulsive at times, grumpy and sometimes lose her temper. My mother some days appear from her room looking like a fashion killer and somedays she just walks out of her room wearing a rumpled shirt and we have to persuade, beg and pacify her to go change. She's got a sharp tongue that could draw tears from your eyes and can set the entire house on fire. When the ball of drama starts to roll no one can escape it. Miracl...

Curiosity

Here is a thought! Why do Nigerians love answers especially when bad things happen? In the olden days, prior to the colonial masters and even after the colonial masters came to Africa, our forefathers practised divination, poured a libation to the ancestors and tried to find out why certain predicaments befell the people. They got answers quite alright. With the witches taking the bulk of the blame or it was the god’s way of helping them find their way back and rethink their decisions. When the people left the way of their fathers after much persuasion from the foreigners. How did the foreigners do this? By demonising the way the people worshipped. So the people accepted the new religion but it did not stop their curiosity. It only doubled the need for answers. Churches sprang up in all corners. The advertisement employed by these churches pointed to solutions in a bid to attract the people. So you read Marine ...

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...
