'I didn't see anything on menstruation day in your status, Kilode?' a friend asked me.

I saw all the menses and womenses drama and there was only one thing in my head, 'E koshi danu jare!'

Gender fight every time.

I hate menstruation. Facts.
-It's the only time I'm 'sick'.
Because one lucky sperm didn't meet my eggs, I have to bear excruciating pains for 5-7 days. Like tani mo she?

All that prepain, peripain, postpain, ko necestrryyy, tori o ti su mi.

I'm tired of the sore breasts, diarrhea, stupid cramps...
...heavy flow that will not make me stop checking my clothes. Every time I have to ask a friend to check if I'm 'stained'.

Only me, I've consumed almost all the NSAIDs in the world. Normal dose o, overdose o. Sedation nko? That one na normal thing.
I will beg one silly pain from 11p.m to 4 a.m to go before I can finally sleep ke? Who you? Pills to the rescue jare.

All that nausea and vomiting nko?
And I'm not pregnant o. Rubbish.

Let me just tell you at this point. You have a special place in Hades if you've ever...
...opened your mouth to say I was exaggerating dysmenorrhea, Olorun n gbo. Because it is one miracle I have been looking for. That the pain seizes.

This stupid thing has made me miss exams, write exams in the sick bay, ahnahn...who did I offend?
Someone will now be hypersensitive, unnecessarily aggressive, because of hormones?

I have to assume a posture to sleep, to sit, to stand, to even roll on the floor.

Every time, bathroom.
I have to stay fresh and clean regardless.
Buy lots of black nylons to properly dispose..
...them pads well.

Sometimes, gather them and burn, thanks to Nigerian witches and yahoo boys that can go any lengths to destroy someone's life and future...

I will now be thinking of the most eligible mate out of my male friends, if na to say sex dey take the pain away truly.
I can't even try fitfam during my period, nitori bloating yii sha ni. My stomach will now resemble mummy twins. And I didn't eat o. I am not pregnant o.

See, shout out to all my girls out there..
You're heroes! Keep bleeding and staying clean and fresh.
