Hey people,it was an amazing weekend for me.Did some running around concerning my elder brother's white wedding and also did a little outing.I rarely go out these days,i think i'm getting old.*straight face* Hope you all had a very nice weekend though? Please,if you can,just give Toinlicious a very warm hug for me,no questions,just do it.Thanks!
As humans,we're prone to taking very important things for-granted.Things like waking up each day,being healthy,not witnessing disasters,having someone who loves us no matter what,having both parents alive,having wonderful family members,including extended etc.We're just liable to take these things for-grated.They're so normal that we don't even realize they can be taken away in a flash.The funny thing is when some unpleasant things happen,we swear we'd be more appreciative,but we just need a few good moments,and we'll forget our resolve.We'd go back to being our normal not-appreciative-enough self.Over the weekend,a few things happened.A dear friend of mine lost her friend and she was quite shaken.After talking with her,i just knew the death really hit her.But then again,doesn't death always hit?! Barely an hour after we finished talking,a friend of mine sent me a message on BBM to tell me one of our friends was involved in a gas explosion accident.WHAT?! Gas explosion?! They were headed to see him at the hospital so i waited for feedback and when it came,it wasn't pleasant.He was severely burnt (as i saw in the pictures i was sent),face,arms,legs...Dude got really burnt,it got me thinking.I've never lost someone very close to me,i've never had a disaster,i've never had to run helter-skelter for any reason and that's a privilege i definitely have taken lightly.
Just in case you're wondering where i'm going with this post,i just want to remind you that even though you don't think so,you've not been appreciative enough for the privilege you have to live a good life.To be healthy,alive,blessed,favored,to have parents who are well,to have loved ones around you,to have life at all...No,you've really not been thankful enough.We've all not been thankful enough.I'm using this medium to let God know i'm thankful,even though i sometimes forget,but i'll try to remember all his good works.Most especially the ones i consider normal.Have a nice day and week ahead people.

Ladies,avoid self misleading
Hey people,how have you all been and how's the week going so far? I've been busy and lazy and busy and lazy and i don't know.But you know i can't leave you for so long a time.
Someone sent me a broadcast on Blackberry that made so much sense and I in turn sent it,but to all the ladies i care about on my contact list.The reason is because I don't want any of them to fall victim of her own self.I have always heard ladies say they don't want to suffer,hence they want to get settled with a guy that's already established.They say something like "It is better to cry in a Range Rover sport than to smile on a bicycle".But,like the broadcast pointed out,these people have never known pain.They have never cried so much that the tears seem to dry in their entire system.
Let me tell you a true story.A certain very pretty gurl was quite lucky to get marriage proposal from a rich military man,she liked him also and thus decided to get married to him.Not so long into their marriage,things began to go wrong.Late nights,other women,physical assaults,emotional assaults,among other things.Let me now tell you the prayer this woman,who had everything she wanted,said "God,since it is his riches that has made my home a war-front,please take it away".Shocking right? Well,God is a prayer answering God so He really took the money away and the husband actually adjusted.Now don't get me wrong,i'm not saying the prayer she said was good or bad,i'm only trying to get you acquainted with the problems associated with some 'riches'.If she prolly was among the group that believed 'it is better to cry in a Range Rover sport than smile on a bicycle',you know now that she has learned a bitter lesson.I mean,she willingly lost almost everything and now she has a measure of happiness that wasn't obtainable when her husband was rich.
Now,for all of you who still have that shallow thinking (yes,it is shallow),here's my advice for you "Change it'.Don't get me wrong though,being rich is a good thing,being married to a rich man is a good thing.But ask yourself this,is it only riches that make a marriage/relationship? Some men are rich but that's the only attribute they have.If financial wealth is the ONLY attribute you look for in a man or the MOST IMPORTANT attribute,then you're putting yourself in a grievous imminent danger.If he's rich but has not got a good heart,does not fear God or is unable to get you pregnant,of what purpose is that marriage to you? What if after your marriage he suddenly becomes poor and already wealth is your main reason for being in the marriage? I am a guy,but i know how wicked guys can be.We could decide to give you everything you want but not anything you need.You might think when you're given money,cars,designer cloths and all,you would be happy.But truth is you won't when you don't see the person you're supposedly married to or don't seem to have any form of relationship with him.So rather than make 'wealth' the ONLY or MOST IMPORTANT attribute you look for in a guy,look for these instead;
*Fear of God
*Prospect
*Sense of responsibility
*Character
*Drive
*Good heart
*Respect
If the person you're engaged to,or is proposing marriage to you,has all these attributes,then you've hit it big.I mean you've struck gold big time! A man with prospect and the fear of God will always make it in life,it's an assurance i am giving you.I know of men who were very rich but couldn't manage their riches and thus got extremely broke.Imagine you getting married to a politician and after leaving office he becomes broke.He 'was' rich sha,so you wouldn't worry abi? Hahahahahahaha
Be wise women,don't be stupid.Don't grope in darkness thinking you on the throne of knowledge.Don't mislead yourselves!

'Antonyms of a mirage'-The creation of a creator
Hey people,how are you and how did your weekend go? Mine went awesomely well.I did work over the weekend,but after then it was grooving all the way.Went to see one of my cousins and realized yesterday (Sunday) was her hubby's birthday.A party started even though it wasn't planned,food and drinks were flying everywhere.However,yours truly couldn't unleash my drinking dragon cos i had to drive back home with my other cousin,her kids and our aunt in the car.
I am excited and proud to make this particular post cos it concerns a fellow blogger @ilola.Let me first tell you a little about her.Her name is Atilola Moronfolu,she's a writer,an editor,a worker and a blogger (so much for telling you about her right? Oh well).Anyways,she's been working on a book and it's finally out.First of all,i'm thrilled by the title "Antonyms of a mirage",it spells creativity and creative the book is.I got a copy of the book and like a hungry lion being fed with a sumptuous antelope,i pounced on it and i already am captivated.Here's one thing i know for sure,she's a good writer!
First of all,title of the book "Antonyms of a Mirage" is very original and would make your head work a bit and then prick your interest in the book.And then the cover,simple yet deep.It is in categories; Prose,Drama,and Poetry.She started with drama,'Corruption noni',where 'corruption' as we know it was personified.She moved on to poetry and the one she started with 'The same Cain' simply blew me and i'm sure it'll get to you if you lay your hands on the book.It is about what's obtainable in terms of women in this modern times.Enough of these talks,lemme give you a little teaser;
One of the very very good poem is 'Fame';
Were you expecting i give the entire poem to you? Ah ahn,you like free things o!!! Lemme not torment you with excerpts from the book,just go and get yours and savour it as you wish.It is a good read and definitely going to be a good buy.I have a copy of the book to give away,if you want it,just keep visiting this blog,you'll know what to do to get it.Have a pleasant week ahead people.

A preview from ‘In My Pocket’
‘Goshe – A short form of Shokolokobangoshe
Scenario 2
Mummy Bobo: Olowo ori mi (owner of my head), how was that favourite food of
yours that I made for you? I am sure you enjoyed it. I have come to tell you
about Bobo, your son. He is about to write his SSCE exams. The other day, I
heard my senior wife bragging to her cousin that kola, her son, made all his
papers two years ago because he is hardworking and brilliant. She then said she
is sure Bobo will do the opposite and fail woefully. Olowo ori mi, please, don't let my enemies laugh at me. I know you
can help me get the exam questions on the eve of every exam paper. This is the
only way Bobo will be able to prove her wrong and shut her mouth forever. Daddy
Bobo, you always say you love me more than my senior wife and if you really
mean that, you will not let her have the last laugh over me.
Chief Goshe: Woman! Woman!! Woman!!! I have always warned you about this Bobo of a boy, but you will never listen to me. You spoil him too much, I hope he won't be the source of your downfall in future. Anyway, I will give you what you request, after which he will go to the UK to start his foundation course. You better warn your son to buckle up now, because there is no way I will fly over to meet David Cameron to organize exam papers by the time he gets to the UK. A word is enough for the wise. For now, the exam questions are not a problem. I have the education sector IN MY POCKET!

Scenario 3
Oloyinbo: (Getting up from his two
minutes prostration, which Chief Goshe acknowledged by massaging his head with
the sole of his left foot, he then starts hailing loudly) Baba Goshe, Baba mi,
you will live long, your enemies will not see their children. Anyone that says
it will not be well with you, it won't be well with them too.
Baba mi, the time has come. I need your help seriously. It’s time for the councillor election for the local constituencies. As I told you last year, I intend to contest and since I have adopted you as my political father, who else will I run to but you? Baba Goshe, don't worry about my credentials. The minimum requirement is the SSCE result and I have already sorted that out with some boys and now have my results. All I need now is your backing and support. Baba mi, I am in your hand now o.
Chief Goshe: Oloyinbo, my nephew, see your mango head like that of my father. You want to run for councillor, hmm? I thought you were joking when you mentioned it last year. I hope you know the implications of what you are doing? The politics of our time is not for the lily-livered at all. You have to be on your toes at all times. Be ready to make friends and enemies, be ready to do anything to protect your political career and even your life from political detractors. It’s a dog eat dog world and make sure you are ready for all the consequences. You should have just accepted the business I offered to set up for you, but you youths of nowadays have been bitten by the get-rich-quick bug. Since you insist, I will help you. I will take you to a meeting tomorrow, where you will meet some powerful people. But know this one thing, you must not, in turn, bite the fingers of these powerful people, including mine, when you win. You will have to dance to their tunes. Otherwise, the ground will have no choice but to reject you.
After tomorrow, your victory is a done deal. Even if you don't contest, you have won! It’s a done deal, I have the electoral system IN MY POCKET!

Scenario 4
Sisi Peperempe: (After a steamy sex session) Honey boy, cookie crumble, sweetie, darling, sugar! I need your assistance o. You remember my youngest brother, Dodoyo, he's in Anti-graft commission’s custody. He was arrested last week
(Kissing his fat filled pot belly). They said he posed as a minister and defrauded some companies. You know the story of my family and how Dodoyo and I had to see ourselves through life by all means possible. He's the only family I have. We have gone through so much and he doesn't deserve jail time or to lose all he has worked for. (Pouting her lips, with permanent red lipstick on) Baby boo, you must help Dodoyo or else ehn...
Chief Goshe: Sisi Peperempe! C'mon, rest your little head. Why are you worrying yourself over nothing? I am disappointed in the way you keep worrying and emphasizing on this issue. After the three years of us playing this 'love game', you still worry about these little things. Before you start your rants again, don't worry I forgive you. I guarantee you that it is settled. Give me a maximum of two days, Dodoyo will get out of custody and all his frozen assets will be returned. Plus the anti-graft commission, plus the person that created the anti-graft commission, I have them all IN MY POCKET!
Scenario 5
Mr. Sinwonje: (Smacking his stomach during
a meal of Suya and bottles of Lager beer at a popular elite club in Abuja)
Chief Goshe, what are you going to do about this latest development now? I
think Mr. President is serious about this power thing this time around o. If those Japanese people dare sign
that contract of the electricity overhaul in this country, that line of
business is over for me o, and you
know that means you will also lose your regular cut. Hmm, Goshe, this is not
good news at all. That is my major income-generating business and I use it to
keep body and soul, Princess and Priscilla together. Imagine that this whole
country, Nigeria, will not need generators or diesels to make their life
easier. This is serious disaster. I will do anything to make it fail….Sisi Peperempe: (After a steamy sex session) Honey boy, cookie crumble, sweetie, darling, sugar! I need your assistance o. You remember my youngest brother, Dodoyo, he's in Anti-graft commission’s custody. He was arrested last week
(Kissing his fat filled pot belly). They said he posed as a minister and defrauded some companies.

Scenario 5
One of the very very good poem is 'Fame';
Fame
You sit all by yourself
Just an ordinary guy next door
Like a flash in a pan,
You are discovered
With the great talent in you
Without prior warning
You are shot into limelight.........................

The real weakness
Hey people,you know i just don't like staying away for long period of time.How have you been? I know my personal people are good and i know the rest of you are good too.
There are people who thrive on making others feel awful about themselves.Whether in terms of achievements or capabilities.They just don't do or say anything to encourage others.When i was growing up,i had kids who i had to cut off from because we fought alot due to the fact that they always said things to upset me or my friends.One would think that was the end of it,but nope,had some more of such butt-heads when i was a teenager.A group of acquaintances i had were very mean to themselves and others.They brought others down with their words and also one another and thus they mostly had issues within themselves (I still can't understand why they were friends).I realized this in time and cut off almost totally from them.
I've been thinking,why do people say mean and spiteful things to others and the answer is very plain,WEAKNESS! You heard right.Have you ever considered how hard it is to do the right things? Let me relate it to my favorite topic,relationships.As a guy,have you ever considered how hard it is to be faithful to just one gurl? As a gurl,have you ever considered how easy it is to add weight than to lose it? As Christians,have you ever considered how easy it is to commit sin and how hard it is not to? What am i driving at? Well,i'm tryna say doing the wrong thing is way easier than doing the right thing.This has been proven over and over.So,for those who bring people down with their words,i really don't blame them,they are very weak.For them,real weakness lies in being nice (with their words of course).So,if you know anyone who's mean with words or actions,don't try to get upset or pick a fight with them,you'd only condescend to their level.Rather,be nice to them and if they refuse to change,ignore them.You think you're strong? Try not to get people down with your words or actions,only then will you be considered strong.Have a pleasant weekend!

I've been thinking,why do people say mean and spiteful things to others and the answer is very plain,WEAKNESS! You heard right.Have you ever considered how hard it is to do the right things? Let me relate it to my favorite topic,relationships.As a guy,have you ever considered how hard it is to be faithful to just one gurl? As a gurl,have you ever considered how easy it is to add weight than to lose it? As Christians,have you ever considered how easy it is to commit sin and how hard it is not to? What am i driving at? Well,i'm tryna say doing the wrong thing is way easier than doing the right thing.This has been proven over and over.So,for those who bring people down with their words,i really don't blame them,they are very weak.For them,real weakness lies in being nice (with their words of course).So,if you know anyone who's mean with words or actions,don't try to get upset or pick a fight with them,you'd only condescend to their level.Rather,be nice to them and if they refuse to change,ignore them.You think you're strong? Try not to get people down with your words or actions,only then will you be considered strong.Have a pleasant weekend!

You think you know,but you have no idea!!!
Hey people,how's the week so far? I want to believe it's going well for you as it is for me,even though work isn't 'child's play'.In my last post,i forgot to mention that my elder brother got married traditionally.We went to Anambra for the wedding and it was splendid.My phone's battery decided to go flat so i didn't take many pictures with my phone.
Now lemme just go straight to the post for today.There's one thing i crave for; to be nice and nice and nice everyday.I just want to make people happy around me.This is because you never know what a little kindness can do.While we were one our way back from the marriage,the driver that drove one of the buses we went with told me a story and i'd like to share it with you.
He was traveling to the north one day when he noticed a car by the road that had broken down,he stopped and met the driver.The man told him he was on his way to Kaduna with his family,coincidentally he was also going to Kaduna,and so he gave the man his own car and told the man to take his family home that he'll bring the man's car to him and retrieve his.The man was very happy and gave him his card.At that point,he got to know that the man was a minister.After the man left,he realized the problem with the car wasn't even serious so he fixed it in a matter of minutes and proceeded with his journey.The next day,he returned the man's car to the man to the man's amazement.The man asked him how much he should give to him but he refused collecting anything saying he didn't do it for money.The man told him to visit anytime he likes but he didn't visit for a long time.His neighbor was getting married so he decided to go visit the man and invite him to the occasion.The man sent N200,000 (two hundred thousand naira) to the couple at first and on the day of the program still gave him another N200,000 to give to the couple.After that day he became quite close to the man and his family and the monetary gains and other gains were quite encouraging.
Moral of the story is,you never know what your act of kindness can bring to you.Truth is,we should be nice everytime,we need it and people around us need it.As our faces are different,so are our challenges and their solutions.An act of kindness can go a very long way to make a person very happy.Here's a question,what will it profit you to make someone cry or miserable? But do you know you'll profit alot when people see the smile on someone's face courtesy of you? The satisfaction alone brings an inner peace.If we consider being nice to people,the world would be a better place,i mean more inhabitable.There's this piece i got from a friend on Facebook,please read.
WE ARE ALL GUILTY
That girl you called a slut in class
today. She's a virgin.
The pregnant girl walking down
the street. She got raped.
The boy you called lame. He has to
work every night to support his
family.
That girl you pushed down the
other day. She's already being
abused at home.
That girl you called fat. She's
starving herself.
The old man you made fun of
cause of the ugly scars. He fought
for our country.
The boy you made fun of for
crying. His mother is dying.
You think you know them. Guess
what? You don't!
If u're not in someone's shoes,
NEVER JUDGE!
Like dis for humanity
I leave you with this; Do to others what you want others to do to you!!!

When everything is lost,friendship remains
Hey people, how have you been? I know a good number of you
is doing good. Some are missing me, some are busy babysitting, and some are
receiving TLC from mom while some are busy giving my food away to visitors. You
all know who you are. Like I said, a good number of you is doing great. Happy
Easter to you by the way and you better don’t give out my goodies like some
people I know (they know themselves). Meanwhile i actually made this post with my phone yesterday, but i don't know what the phone was thinking or doing that it decided to give only the title of the post. Wetin he do with the main post na only God know. Anyway, lets ride together jare and thanks to Myne for checking up on me, you're too much jor!
Now lets get down to business. Friendship is one very
important aspect of human lives. In business, in the work-place, school, you
name it, friendship makes all these places worthwhile and interesting. However,
I’d say the most important sort of friendship is the one you share with you
partner (husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend). Relationships are very very
challenging, be it marriage or boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. There are
times when you get into such ‘places’ that you just wanna walk away, you want
that peace of mind you used to have when you were single. However, something
stands for you, for those who have it, and that is friendship. When a
relationship first starts, the initial excitement makes you blind to a lot of
flaws, but time clears your eyes after a while, in pidgin, your eye go come
sharpen after some time. They say time heal all wounds right? Here’s what they
didn’t tell you; time is the breeze that blows foul’s yansh (if you don’t
understand, let the person beside you explain to you. Hehehehehehe). With time,
flaws become apparent or more apparent and other issues come out and even
though love is so strong that it binds, sometimes even love doesn’t withstand
the storm, but friendship does. Friendship is very important, I mean it’s
imperative you are friends with your partner. A time may/will come that your
partner will lose almost everything you used to love about them, looks,
strength, sexual stamina and so on, at that point, it is friendship that’ll
keep you people going. If you ask me what I want, I’d say I wanna get married
to my best friend, best friends don’t fight for long, they don’t hate, they
don’t hurt each other whether they’re very mad or not, friends are friends.
Have a nice and fruitful week ahead.
