What is Jollof Express?

Hi Guys. Welcome!!!! My name is Ayisa John-Yakubu and I study  Mass Communication at Babcock University. This blog has been a dream of mine for a while now but i always ran away from it and came up with reasons not to blog but hey! Its a new year so why not start off on a fresh note?

Ok so the thing is, I love to write. I guess I have always had that creative streak. I wrote a lot when i was little. I had note books filled with fictitious stories. The "Once upon a Time" kind but stories all the same. Lol. So I decided to bring my exercise books to you!

Now you may ask, why the name "Jollof Express"? What kind of name is that? So I was looking for something interesting. A name that would make you want to check it out before you even saw the posts or knew what it was about. MyFullName.com won't exactly excite you would it? Didn't think so. The second reason is that as we (Nigerians and maybe some Ghanaians) all know, Jollof is a term for a mixture of several different things. That is basically what this blog is. A mix!

I will be writing about anything and everything. Whatever pops in my head. From fiction, to daily life experiences to wedding pieces (I love loove weddings!!), to funny pictures and posts I come across, to poetry. I will also feature some writers. You can send me your stuff in my mail and I will post. I'm yet to work out my posting schedule but I will do that ASAP and publish i here so you can know what to expect and when.

I think I have covered just about everything but you can drop comments and I will reply. Thanks for reading. Now spread the word! Tell a friend to tell a friend about Jollof Express. See you next time and have yourself an amazing 2016!
