hmm.
Someone asked me recently if i would be ashamed of my posts here.
i said NO.
Because everything i write, i do in my right mind
if i do meet any nairalander, i can stand up to them.
theres nothing i post that i cant stand by, period!
I wont be like the foolish gal who went for an interview by a nairalander
who she used to diss.
when he called her by her nairaland handle she almost slumped.
People forget that other nairalanders are humans too and as this world gets smaller
we may meet sometime.
it happens.
Im not a perfect person i def have to work on some attitudes i have.
starting with my Lafitude.lol
does anyone have a solution to Excess laughter, help me plssss!

MEn!   i was so sad yesterday, when i learnt a girl whom i graduated with passed on. She died in a car accident on her way to warri. her mum and her sister who she was traveling with also died. It isnt like i know this girl so much,but she was on the same floor with me in school i spoke to her just a few times and that was it, i saw her almost everyday too. She used to play the Violin in the school choir and was a Christian. i think thats the most important thing! I was really in shock, its still on my mind even now. I'm sure thats what made me re-watch Fun with privates and Jane because i tried to get it off my mind, i just think about how fickle life is and it makes me want to give up right now, but i know i musnt i must pray for the strength to go on and do that which i must. Fulfilling my purpose and touching as many lives as possible. God help us! |

Nairaland!!! just when i thought i couldnt be surprised! Then i Find out one of my Fave NLdrs was my Neighbour!!!! Such a PLEASANT SHOCK!!!!!!!!!
When WE Were YoungSinging in the fan, playing in the rain, running on the courts, the memories of when we were young. A carefree life, that couldn’t have been better. Picnics, lots of them on tennis courts just to the side of the towering apartment block. Coke, chocolate, biscuits, home-made sandwiches ever so plenty. We had tons of fun. Once in a while this whole happy-go-lucky lifestyle was interrupted by the flash of a cane. Mummy was a teacher, she had those long canes that were used in schools, such a terrible feeling when it came down on the behind or wide open palms, but no mark to show for it now. We were naughty kids, during valentine days when couples were either returning from their love serenade or just going out, we gave them a love gift of a water bomb falling from eight storeys landing with a splash on their cars or rather unfortunately on the pretty cloths they had on. We would climb our stairs backwards, neglecting the fact that one slip would lead to our death. We slid down the corridors and the stair railings. Throwing things down to our neighbour’s and going to demand them back like it was their fault it fell into their compound. We were innocents, who would have thought a girl kissing a girl was something of raised eyebrows even though it was just pretend. We swim naked with boys or girls, that is not possible now without having some funny thoughts. We were playful, Green light! red light!, ten-ten, I A mother was voted for and she chose the best players, being a very good player was key, monopoly, scrabble, games we played with much glee. Video games, Atari, Nintendo, Sega; Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, tanker we tanned with so much energy! We played pretend a lot, pretending while washing up the dishes, pretending to be making some magic formula, pretending the cutlery were families and the tumblers their cities and the plates their flying-automobile. Pretending to have families, where our dolls were babies and food was anything we could use. We were smart, we played so hard it was usually a wonder how we always came on top in school, we were always in the top ten, our parents had nothing on us! There was simply no reaon to punish us, especially when our result read like this AAABABAAAA. And we don’t remember reading a thing, spelling and reading was one of our best classes, so was the teacher. And We were nice kids, we carried things for the Elderly, gave people gifts, helped our mum around the house, we did our parts in looking out for each other, we didn’t take peoples things, mummy taught us well, we knew when to say sorry, please and thank you. There is no wonder we turned out the way we are now. |

Strange Beds have rarely agreed with me, and only after a short burst of troubled slumber
i woke an hour or so before the bugle.It was then still very dark and knowing i had a full days
parade ahead of me, i made an attempt to return to sleep. This proved futile and when i eventually decided
to get up, it was still so dark that i was obliged to turn on my torch in order to brush my teeth and douse my
drowsy face with ice-cold water. But when i was done and had turned off the torch, i could see early daylight
peeking through the wire clad windows.
When i had gotten up moments ago, the light outside was still very pale and something of a mist was affecting my view of
Suleja Hall and the Garden of Eden. Indeed follwoing the pathway to the water pumps, i could see the mist rising from the top of
the mountains. there was not a soul to be seen and apart from the tiny scampering noises of the well-fed black rats and an occasional
cling-cling of a bunk as the sleeper within turned to the rythm of dreams, there was still no sound to be heard.
to be continued

Tonight i find myself in a camp house in the city village of Paiko. The first day of my orientation is now completed and all in all,
I must say i am Terribly angry, Frustrated but a little bit satisfied and apparently Homesick. This stay began this morning almost an hour later than
i had planned, despite my preparedness the day before, i still left like i was forgetting some things. i suppose i was also conscious of the fact that once i
departed, i was going where no one had gone before. It was an odd feeling, and perhaps accounts for why i delayed my departure so long, wandering
through the house, checking i had packed suitable things and making sure my papers were in order.
Its hard to explain my feelings once i finally set off, For the first twenty minutes or so, i couldnt believe i actually was going there, i cannot say i was seized by any excitement or apprehension at all. . , . . . .

Wooww!!! This whole marriage thingy is creating a storm in my head and in my heart!! Nairaland is not making it any better!!!!! At my Age, my mum was already married with a Two-year old child! I believe in marrying young and Thank God i have no Heart-break exp to speak of. Some will say im still young, but the clock is ticking fast! HE actually proposed to me two weeks ago, not officially i presume, not the whole on bended knees in front of the eiffel tower ishe . Just plainly in a telephone call. I could have jumped at this, i mean we are both young, he has money, i have money.lol. we could do things together, build something from scratch a certain level Sighs* i just dont Love Him like that, heck i hardly like him so much. Oh my, i have had endless discussions with my friends, i have to just chill out. i know im not exactly ready yet, but i dont want to pass a certain age without haven tied the knot. i still have school and my career to look at but, i do want marriage. God help me! |

The Bird Flew over the Cuckoo nest, away away!!In my house, We have this Sun Window that is way up and opposite the sliding doors. The window cannot be opened, its just to allow sun filter into the room. . . . One day, this bird flies into the house through the open sliding doors. It sees the sun window and thinks, i could go out to the skies!!!! only to get there and be met by glass, it begins to try and try i must get to the SKY! it chirps. It tries and tries, until its strength ebbs away and it falls down down to its Concrete Grave.

About those so-called Bad boys. What good comes out of somthing bad, my friend said to me today i told Him i had never been attracted to the "Bad boy" type. Whats wonderful about popping collars, smoking, drinking, bla bla. . . and the unnecessary things they do. Gimme a guy who is a Gentleman, who is polite, kind yet Firm. Gimme a guy who dresses well and is neat and well trimmed. i would rather look his way than the so-called Bad boy. and as my friend left me to ponder, what good can come out of the bad boy |

In the spirit of the day lol. I was going home from church on a weekday service one i had been physically forced to go to and a thought crossed my mind, Is there any difference between sunday service and a weekday service?? We dress up so much on sundays, showing off our newest native attire, is there any thing to sunday?? Some people are also like "aah, i must not miss sunday o" Does sunday have a special blessing??? once upon a time i was of the school of thought that sunday was very important i coudnt imagine why someone would wear jeans on sunday but it would be ok on Wednesday?? doesnt make sense now that i think about it. no wonder theres so much Sunday-Sunday type Christianity. God will help us! |

Independence day. Nigeria is 48, what do i feel? Gone are the times, when one could not wait till October 1st Now i forget Nigeria has a birthday until, i hear some radio jingle about an independence rave somewhere. Gone are the times when a sense of national pride welled up in you Now i realized i cant evn remember all of the Nigerian Anthem! What is happening to us as a people, i was chatting with a friend today , you know, in the spirit of today, he was born in the States and i asked him if he was going to celebrate, he said No Said He is a Nigerian but not a citizen of Nigerian so he isnt obligated to do anything for Nigeria. i was like but i saw his point tho. i have nothing to celebrate, hopefully PHCN will not take away power from us. There is a service, in my church i think, i will use that time to pray for Nigeria Before then, i must deeply reflect on what one great man said many years ago. Ask not what your country can do for you but
What can you do for your country. What can i Do for Nigeria, even though im on the verge of leaving Nigeria for good my heart is still with my country. and yes i will Do something For You sweet nation. God Bless Nigeria, It is well. |
