THIS MARRIAGE THING

Image
The marriage topic is interesting an can also be sensitive too. Lately most couples have been making unanimous decisions to get married and thereby increasing the amount of ankara i have decide to accumulate as aso ebi in my closet. It is a blessing to support couples who have made the big decision to do life together forever but really how long is that forever. Apart from the vows one will give at the altar "for better for worse" "for richer and for poor" "in sickness and in in health", "till death do us (them)part, how many of these vow actually last forever. I don't know if some people actually sit down to think out the significance of these vows before getting married or are those words just part of the ceremony, it is a question because nowadays ladies are most especially interested in getting the ring, putting on a dress and having a grand wedding reception and dealing with the real meaning of the vows later. If he/she experiences job lo...

SPARE THE ROD AND SPOIL THE CHILD

Image
The things that are happening these days are very ridiculous, compared to the days of age when I was born and raised, some of the things that these younglings do these days, one cant try it in the days of old. Back in the late 80s and early 90s when I was growing up, my mom would only give an instruction once, if she had to repeat herself, it would be with "koboko". For me it was not necessarily the cane itself, "koboko" could be a dirty slap, the soles of my moms shoes, any wooden spoon used in making fufu or garri or the twigs from the trees in the garden, the fear of those things alone was the beginning of wisdom for me. There was this fear that parents invested in their children, the fear of "if you mess up you are dead", these days it is the children who run things, some parents cant even correct their own children, the kids are remote controlling their parents. I met a parent who could not even tell her daughter "no". She always told her ...

THE SUNGLASSES SYNDROME.

Image
When the solar eclipse came I didn’t use sunglasses to observe it so why in the world am I going to wear sunglasses at night or indoors for an extended period of time. Like seriously, unless you have serious eye sensitivity to light or stone drunk, why in the world would you wear sunglasses at night? I wear sunglasses during the day and in my car while driving to protect my eyes from the glaring rays of the sun.Why would I punish myself and wear them indoors inside a night club with neon and disco ball lights on? Literally I would interpret it as temporary blindness. It is a form of fashion these days to wear sunglasses at night, like swag. In my own opinion, it is not very appealing,I can tolerate when people wear sunglasses indoors because they either have “pink eye”, they got into a fight or they simply forgot to take them off. Sunglasses are usually on sale during winter months, in that bleak murky weather, why do I find people rocking them like the sun is putting focus beams on...

OIKOS UNIVERSITY SHOOTING

Image
It was a beautiful Monday morning, the day after April Fools day, one would have thought of what happened to be a sick joke to continue the first but in this case, it isnt, it is not a bad dream either that one can wake up from, this is reality. People woke up that morning to go about their daily business, some were able to go back home and recount their daily activities to their families over table at dinner or family time and loved ones ended up in morgue. The latter is what happened to seven students who were killed at Oikos University student shooting which occurred on Monday April 2nd by deranged 43 year old man known as One Goh who was upset about his denial for getting a refund of his tuition back after her "voluntarily left" the school located in Alameda County. He opened fire on both students and teachers. Goh is accused of killing Katleen Ping, 24, of Oakland; Tshering Rinzing Bhutia, 38, of San Francisco; Judith Seymour, 53, of San Jose; Sim, 21, of Hayward; S...

LLNP Long Life and Prosperity

Image
A year ago, I started noticing on a common trend from my Nigerian friends when it comes to wishing people a happy birthday.  I have seen stuff like Tara Thomas HBD Amaka, LLNP. Ijeoma Onyechie Samantha HBD,LLNP I am sorry but I naively thought that it was a form of title of some sort. You never can tell these days, Nigerians come up with something new and hip every day until I figured HBD was Happy birthday but LLNP meant what? On Amaka’s wall I saw the word LLNP so many times so I decided to ask someone and they told me it meant “Long life and prosperity”. * the light bulb comes on in my head* In my own opinion it is a birthday wish, you might as well write out the whole word especially if it is heartfelt, Face book has made it easy for one to wish people a happy birthday even when you don’t remember all you need to do is glance at the “Birthdays” section on you Face book page and alas you know whose birthday it is and start typing, HBD, ...

THE BRAND NAME SYNDROME

"I t has to be Brazilian hair or nothing, i don't even do lace front wigs, so synthetic hair is not an option " " She just broke my $300 Louis Vuitton glasses " " I am sorry honey but you wont catch me with last season's Louis Vuitton purse " " Why don't you have a Blackberry, how do you expect our relationship to work? " " i want a pink Range Rover for my thirtieth birthday " (second year in a row she is turning 30) " I want iPad 3 for Christmas " Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Katie Spade, Aldo, Prada,Versace, Calvin Klein, Coach , Apple, Blackberry, Android, Brazillian Hair, Remi Hair,Mercedes, BMW, Range Rover,,, the list is endless, i could go on and on because we consumers are faced with so many Brand names and different models keep coming out and we have to keep keeping up with the brand name epidemic. The Brand name syndrome has caught a lot of people, they are so consumed with getting a lot more of these t...

BLACKBERRY PORSCHE

Image
It’s a new month and I woke up this morning to see the picture of this brand new Blackberry innovation. Sleek!!!!!!!!! This phone is not meant  for people selling goods in the market or a typical college student or a people who are living from hand to mouth but trying to keep up with the Jones’s. This is not a phone for having money this month and being broke next month. This is for tHose top of the notch executives, imagine a CEO of a corporation using the same phone that a college student carries in their pocket. Hmmm!!! Levels, so Blackberry came up with a solution and brought out not the Mercedes version but Porsche. So what are the features oh!!!  1.2GHz Qualcomm MSM8655 CPU and 768MB of RAM,  2.8-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 640 x 480  1,230mAh battery, GPS, NFC and  5MP rear camera with an LED flash and 720p HD video capture. And so???? 768 MB of Ram. Abeg I will keep my desktop at home. Also apart from whatever materi...
