Another New Comer!!!

Hey world, I'm Maureen uzoh.... My friends call me maur so if u don't, u're an acquaintance 😊...kidding. I'm an urhobo from ughelli to b precise.... I'm a girl as u can see on my dp, a pretty one at dat😝 and I'm d eldest child in my family.I was brought into this world by my loving parents on January 28th 199_😋....lolz.... Kindly fill the blank space... My birthday is usually fun filled being that it's in January where all the goodies are still hot...these are some of my birthday photoshoot pictures,i hope u like them.

I'm a graduate of Delta State University abraka, I graduated from sociology with an almost First Class 😁....My primary and secondary school days was nothing more dan d normal school life of an average normal girl child... Not so quiet but not so notorious either...i did dose in ughelli, Adam's international school and Noble crest secondary school respectively. I finished with secondary school at d age of 16, if not for my all fast-forwarding birth month January... It would have been 15, den I would have been considered to b in Guinness book of records 😁....at least d one for Delta state 😊.
University days were okay...not very exciting like some pipo found it, not crazily fun either. It was just normal.... Too normal. Never had fun, d only parties I attended den were departmental welcome parties or church organised parties 😒....i was all about d grades, a bookworm, didn't consider looking lit for once, u can finally say.... I was a nerd🤓. Yea, a Nigerian nerd😁. I didn't have much friends but d few I had were in d same canoe of social life with me, paddling together.... If not more dan me sef😁. Well, all dat changed when I wore my first pair of trousers to class one day without giving a damn...but it was in my final year😊....and when I graduated and threw my first party...behold, I was introduced to fun....a new fun-loving Maureen emerged.....mind u, I didn't become bad... I just only started realizing dat I'm a lady and an important rule for a lady is to always look nice or presentable. And I discovered my inner talent of playfulness and unboringness😊😊....

Smiles... My FYB sign out day it was really fun... No be joke all of us was really really really happy no joke.... Going to miss them real bad

Well all dat being said, I'm currently serving our country.... Against my wish tho, I'm a youth corper.... And somehow I managed to be d youngest corper in my platoon at camp....awesome 😁, I got favors.


I was originally posted to yobe state to serve... Dey still couldn't let someone pick her choice of location😒, damn country like dis. Well, Due to some issues relating to insecurity and health stuff.... I was relocated back to delta state. Some will say 'but why na?' others will say 'being in another state is d fun of NYSC', some will still say 'not cool being posted back to ur own state'....but I say Hip Hip Hip.... Hooray 🎊🎊🎊. Yobe was a f**king 2 days journey, a stressful and painful one at dat....so, give me delta state anytime, anyday and my God will continue to bless u😊🙏.

Now I'm teaching in a secondary school.... D irony of it is dat I'm small-ish....so my students misbehave alot, some even asks me out on a daily basis... Gosh🤦‍♀. Dey will b like 'anty corper I won't give up on u'.... Chisos is Lawd😳 🙆‍♀🙆‍♀. Teaching in a Government institution is fun tho, different abnormal interesting story everyday... Ranging from a student getting beaten up almost to death in school by his business associates..(as young as dey are), a young girl student getting pregnant for CRS teacher, (I wonder wat he was trying to teach her... Pregnancy is a miracle I guess), a mother coming to fight because her child failed in d exams conducted with d saying dat dullness is not in deir family😁😁 (shake my head).Marking deir exam scripts always gives someone brain pain... Not headache sef.

Funny funny letters.... Well, all d same.... I can't wait to pass out from dere.
Well, I used to b a tomboy... I have just one brother in d midst of 3 sisters... So we're 5 children in all. He's next to me, He was my best friend for Long... So long. So, it wasn't really difficult finding myself as a tomboy because I did everything with him.... Wore matching boxers, carried matching haircuts, played Ps games together, watched football game together, bet on virtually everything, lived dirty together 😊 (it's boy's rule... Don't blame me)...luckily for me, my brother loves food... He was chubby, so we always tried out different recipes and food combinations... Some turned out experiments, most came out perfect and delicious....so, I can proudly say now dat I can prepare a decent meal, dat won't choke someone😊 which ever variety. My brother was d shy type, always shy around other girls...so I joined him to hang out with guys more.... Admist our closeness and love for each other, dere is always trouble in paradise dey say.....me and my brother were cat and rat, Tom and Jerry... We argued, fought, (my brother was my only fight mate in life tho.... I'll like to try someone else 😝😝) but nobody interfered in our issues, if not we go change am for dem.
So...my girliness started to unfold when several pipo kept teasing me about growing up... My younger sister by den was already a slay queen hence she looked more matured dan me. Some of My guy friends started teasing me as well to look good like a girl and still hang out with dem (maybe den any of dem myt ask me out.... Can u believe dose niggas?🤦‍♀) well... I decided to give it a try since dere is no harm in trying... And Boom 💣 like baby Jesus modelling was born in my life. Now, I can proudly say dat I'm a model, a pretty confident one, who has by God's grace won Top model for Miss crystal delta state 2018 on my very first trial ever. Let me talk a Lil about my modeling life... Well, after d gradual transformation into a 20% proper lady...i begin to lack confidence being among other girls, deres always dis feeling of trying to belong but not up to😔... I felt left out, I no longer believed I was turning out to b a beautiful young lady anymore but someone trying so hard not to b left out in d attraction business😊... I saw a girl on facebook whom I admired her style and personality so I became her friend so she could teach me more but instead she gave me an opportunity to show d world wat I am made of, to believe in myself dat I'm a strong-willed beautiful black young lady who can do anything I set my mind to do. She invited me to compete in a pageantry... Miss crystal delta state 2018 to b precise. I entered into it with full confidence but later during d last days of d competition d "too much juice and sauce" started to dry up as I started doubting myself wholesomely again..... But as God will have it I came out Top model... Isn't it amazing? Who would have known dat I could catwalk 😊 or wear heels anyday? Nobody.... So breaking from ur limits is actually cool, being within ur limits and usual-ity is boring.

As we all know a beauty queen is not just about a pretty face... So, dere is always a section for talent exhibition in d pageantry competition.. It carried points. During my talent exhibition, I did a 3 minutes painting of Nelson Mandela and dis got d whole crowd going 'wow, wow, wow, wow, wow🚨🚨🚨' ...it was awesome as by God's grace, not mine... Neither is it by my power dat I'm a pretty amazing artist... Yes, I draw, paint and stuff.

Now to my art life.... I've been drawing since I was a kid because I enjoyed it. growing up, i found out dat drawing wasn't so easy... In fact not easy at all for others as it was for me, neither was it enjoyable for dem..dis made dem always appreciate d works I did den... It was den I realized or discovered dat God had blessed me with an amazing and wonderful gift of art and creativity.... Not just drawing. And just like wizkid 'Dis got me thanking God for life',....i started to explore it, it became my passion.... But as typical Nigerian parents who always believe dey can see d future squatting while we young-ones can't see a thing even climbing a mountain, my dad didn't want me to focus on art. He always saw it as nothing more dan a hobby... And he wanted it to remain dat way. Well, although his wish was my command... I still found a way of making up for it by not ridding myself of any opportunity to draw. With dis, I secretly enrolled for Fine art during my senior secondary school WAEC enrollment and I ended up being d only one student in d whole of dat centre who wrote fine art exam in WAEC. not doubtfully, I came out with an A1 in it by studying on my own (since my school didn't have an art teacher)...dat is how much I love art. Furthermore, my dad was able to convince me dat sociology was an amazing course, a perfect One (well, should I say he lied? 🤔..🤐🤐).I agreed to study sociology (thank God I'm done already)...i didn't have much choice, I'm not d rebellious kinda child and I certainly don't pay my fees myself. Getting into Delta State University as a 100level student I was not so happy with my course... But d fear of failing and letting my family down always slapped me in d face to work hard. But as God will always fight for me, I was opportuned to meet a guy, an art master who was moved to teach me for free haven seen my passion for art and how good I was to an extent. I started attending classes and art lessons daily. I started using my allowance and feeding money to buy art materials instead of food and other things....due to some Human virtues dat always makes human, human.....i stopped going to my boss for classes as I was no longer feeling welcomed. Later on in my 300level I found myself another boss.... An even better one, a guru, #a teacher turned father 😊#.... Whom also was moved to teach me for free....Permit me to say By God's abundant grace dat never runs dry, anyone in art I've gone to for assistance in my life till date always did so for free (just for me).... Isn't God Great? 😊😊 well... Dats pretty much it. Right now, I'm 100% better Dan before as I improve everyday.... I can paint and draw anyone (not for free tho😁). allow d ibo part of me to tell u dat it's small money to get ur portrait done and done nicely well, framed and packaged..... Very affordable. I aspire to b better and great....i also hope to own an art gallery of my own some day (soon enough)....i already have concepts and a name for it😁😊.
These are some of my works...

That's just a tip of the iceberg.... One love all 😍 😍 😍
