WHISTLING BEAUTIFUL

When people pray not to be at the right place at the wrong time it baffles me,i always thought there was no such thing until last Monday, December the 13th. I had decided to go to the bank on Tuesday the 14th to do bank transactions for my job instead of Monday, i had other things to do that day but my boss made it seem urgent. I was bent on not going at all until i conceded around 4pm in the evening. I was talking to the bank manager who was going through the account and after she was done, i went up to the teller to write a check of a very significant amount. The teller had just taken my driver's license and my bank card for identity verification and she was running the check when I heard a voice beside me say "Give me the money, all of it , right now". At first I thought it was a random customer talking since it sounded casual and thought it was a joke until I looked at the African American man beside me with a paper bag and a gun and then i am thinking in my head ...

I was about eleven years old when Ken Saro Wiwa was executed. The whole NigerDelta politics made me cringe, it was one thing or another and back then i really didnt understand much until he was executed. A few years later, I came across a book he wrote and it sometimes make me wish he was still alive.I havent read much of his publications but it was a really good read. I highly recommend this book. Why is it that the most people with potential lie in their graves?This makes me beleieve that everyday is an opportuinity to make a difference to become a better person. Ken may not have had a chance like you or I  but he died for a cause and is a hero in the Ogoni land and in Nigeria.

Publish Post I saw this cartoon strip while surfing the web and i decided to share it because I have identified myself with one or more of the following 12 kinds of people you meet on Twitter. Identify your Twitter self.

I was reading somewhere in a book today that "A perfect man is one who does not offend in word" and I believe i tweeted it too. I later read the article on TI saving a suicidal man's life by speaking words to him. In an interview with the AP he said " I told him it ain't that bad. It'll get better, to put the time and effort into making it better,I just reminded him know that I know. It looks bad right now, but it can turn around." The man after listening to TI's words didn't jump of the 22 story building. He was taken to the hospital. Sometimes life can get the very best of us or people that we know and it doesn't hurt for once to say something nice to them be it their outfit, or something they did to make your day worthwhile. Some people don't think this life is worth living anymore, but if you do think your life is worth living,show someone you care, no criticisms, no bad talk or nothing, just encouraging words. Happy Friday.

   When i think of Francisca the first thing that comes to my head is "Sisqo". She can pass for the male and best impersonation of Sisqo. Lol. She was a great study buddy and comedian back in the day among my group of friends.  Francisca Morayo Ayanbadejo also graduated with the class of 2001 and attended  Olabisi Onabanjo University to study Electrical/Electronics Engineering .  Another Engineers. and is presently at the University of Warwick (Warwick Manufacturing Group) studying Engineering Business Management. She is currently in a relationship. I wish her the very best and doing very well in the United Kingdom.

 Queen Abimbola Soares graduated with the class of 2001. We took classes together especially Geography with Aisuedon even though we were in separate classes. She is known to me as a corridor girl. She stayed at home for about two years after graduation and attended Foundation in Engineering in University of Leeds from 2003-2004. I always give Big thumbs up to females who study Engineering.

How time flies!!.Look who we have here after so many years. Its one of the Lawal twin's. Kehinde Lawal to be precise those duo Brainys back in the day. Brainy!. Did i just use that word? It is so QC. I should use the word Smart.Well i kept in touch even after QC so i haven't missed out on too much of her life like some people who may have done so. The twins are just the kind of friends money cannot buy.Kehinde is doing pretty well for herself. After graduating QC on the 15th day of July 2001 with those 616 girls, she got into University of Lagos to study Biochemistry and got her Bsc. She worked for Intercontinental Bank for two years and is now a Management consultant with one of the top four accounting firms. The life of an achiever from Biochem to Banking. I bugged her to take the Questionaire and she did. I just love to hear others QC experiences so this is how it went. 1.ME: Do you remember your first day in QC? KEHINDE:Yep. Some time in Sep 1996.

My 3rd personality is an old friend, one of those classmates that you tend not to forget easily. One thing about her is that she has made her mark in life and is pretty promising to make more. An ex member of SLONFUNDELATS and Sovereign Army, she graduated with the class of 2001.I dont want to ramble on and on so i will let her do the talking. ADUNOLA: I graduated from QC in 2001. Following this, I went on to do a degree in Business Economics at Keele University, Staffordshire. This was a lovely time - one of the best years of my life, more to do with being close to the country side - Lagos girl away from the city... :0). I did an internship with a Big 4 accountancy firm and went on to join them for my accountancy training post-graduation from Keele. 3years after wards and with a passion to contribute to Nigeria's development (tangibly, as opposed to merely discussing it with friends over dinner/drinks), I decided to return to school, and I completed my Masters in Global...

I mean its been so many years and the first thing that comes to my mind when i think of this personality  "Pouchi" . Yes "Pouchi" (pronounced Poachee). I think its one of the longest standing nicknames I know of and how she came about it, I really don't remember, if someone does remember please say so. She blossomed into a beautiful young woman whom I mistakenly called Asian a few weeks back on checking out her pics. Eniba Abiye Braide graduated with the class of 2001. She attended University of Port Harcourt and Rivers State University of Science and Technology. She is an architect and a Business Development Manager at a construction firm in Port Harcourt. She happily took the questionnaire and i am really grateful to her for doing so after taking time out of her busy schedule to answer the questions. Her answers are as thus. 1.

Today's date is so unique. It just has digits that just click and coincidentally i looked at the time at 10 am  on 10/10/2010. Anyway I realized it was also QC 's 83rd anniversary. I am a Queens College old girl and i have a lot of QC Pride. On Blackberry Messenger today me and some QC friends updated our statuses with our favorite parts of QC and our most memorable teacher's. It was so much fun just to go back and reminisce on the good old days. QC has outlived her glory and its really not the same anymore but one thing no one will ever take away from us it the experience. We laughed, We cried, we endured punishment,we made fun of each other and teachers, we disobeyed rules,  we ran through those corridors,we became an association,  we passed on the torch.We just evolved into beautiful and successful young women and yes I believe my counterparts are successful women in the careers, marriages relationships and their endeavors. To classmates or corridor girls who have died...

So most female statuses  on Face book these days read I like it on the sofa I like it on the couch I like it on the chair I like it in the shower I like it at my job I like it under my laptop table I like it under my bed. I like it under the washing machine. I like it in the car I like it on the dining table chair So this is no nasty or perverted means of getting one to update their status. Some people have been following blindly. Early this year Breast Cancer Awareness started with bra colors and there were so many colors on female statuses. This time around it is "it" So what do women like and what is the "it" that women like?. The "it" on the status is your purse. Where do you like to keep your purse?  It is a form of unity for Breast Cancer Awareness and it has seriously gone viral. Most men just try to wonder what is going on and why all females keep writing where they like "it". So for all you females who have been following wi...

                                                                                 Cousins Okay. I have attended at least four parties this year which I consider a lot especially since the Spring. So I was thinking to myself, after college there should be life after college which should include settling down by saving up money to buy me a condo or a house whichever comes first, my car is paid off whew. I need to start looking into a great Master's program in a nice and affordable school in a decent place. So with all these plans on my mind I decided to reduce or retire from the p...

11. SHOULDER PADS : I don't know if this was out before the 90"s but most of my clothes had shoulder pads in them and i would forever love to take them off. It is one of the things i really don't miss. 12. TEVIN CAMPBELL: Whatever happened to that young man with the sweet voice any young female would die for with hits like "I'm ready" and "Can we talk."
