Vera Ezimora

I am a writer, a blogger, and an online talk radio host. I am also a big dreamer and a perpetual laugher. I laugh hysterically at my own jokes, in my sleep, and at imaginary things and events, sometimes to the shock and detriment of people around me. According to my heart desires, I am the future wife of a very lucky man and the future mother of a confusingly identical set of twin boys (and their baby sister). The rest is not yet history.

Nothing Has Ever Felt Like This

The feeling of releasing a fart is absolutely phenomenal!  There is an ah moment that comes after one is released into the world.  It is a feeling of liberation!

When I Became A Woman

Night after night, I cried and begged God for breasts.  I told him to give me a little, just a little bit!  I had absolutely no breast at all. I did not even have enough to qualify for a training bra!

When The Pendulum Swings

We as women are quick to talk about all the bad and wrong things men do; especially Nigerian men.  Nigerian men are not romantic, Nigerian men are not sensitive, Nigerian men are flirts and cheats, Nigerian men are heart breakers and liars...
