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, ...

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...
