Hand me downs.

Hi people!! :D
Awww!! I can see y'all are excited to hear from me, ay ay?? ;) *cos in my head thousands of people ruusshh to read my bants :$* don't worry I missed ranting too lol.
Ok so I'm assuming 90% of the people reading this are most likely nigerian so you will definitely understand my question ... What's up with Nigerians and hand-me-downs?!
No no no! I just can't take it anymore! Is it a crime to be born after a previous child?? It's so bad that even if you're a boy and you have an older sister you'll still wear her dresses in those couple of months (or years as the case may be) that people cannot tell if you're a boy or a girl. If you were ever in that situation, I sympathise greatly with you. Lol.
Why, the intense heating of blood you might be wondering? Ok, lemme play out this scenario for y'all: A has lived all her life in her "big" sister, B's shadow. The big is in quote because she is at least two dress sizes bigger than her "big" sister. But does that stop their oh soo nigerian mother from insisting she wear her "big" sister's discarded and rejected clothes? Ha! You guessed right! ... It doesn't, for the slow ones out there :|.
Now fast forward a couple of years to the training bra age. A is convinced that now the she's growing boobs, her mother will be forced to buy her at least underwear of her own (not to worry she doesn't wear hand me down pants oo) just for her mother to bring out a box of B's old bras, you can imagine the disappointment A felt! All she ever wanted was to have something that was truly hers and not passed down from someone else who rejected it or got tired of it.

Which brings me to my main point: how many of us are tired of hand me downs? How many of us just want our very own shit for once! And it doesn't have to be your older siblings clothes or something of sort. It could be anything really, you might be tired of getting your friends ex boyfriends/girlfriends, tired of getting the last piece of rejected chicken (usually the neck. Yuk!) Or even tired of taken over unwanted job posts or whatever hand-me-down situation you find yourself in.
Basically, no one ever wants to be the second choice or the fall back option. I personally believe that every one should have at least one thing that they can call their own. So I say to all the side chicks and alleged boyfriend snatchers out there, take a hint from A, don't settle for someone else's underwear! You deserve better, go out there, strut your stuff and get you a man who's for you and only YOU!

So that's it beautiful people :) till next time, I remain your awesome queen, stay blessed and make sure you come back!!! It's an order!! Ok ok I joke I kid, do come back tho :) .. I'm not begging btw! Ok I'm gonna go now... X's and O's
