You don't want to see a lot of Yoruba guys from London, else you'll keep fainting forever. You won't even know that they're Yoruba. I had a friend back Uni we used to call Chingy. This guy looks exactly like Chingy but he's also a gym rat. Chics don't "no" to this guy. There was a next one that looks exactly like Lance Gross.

How are Yoruba guys supposed to look?

They're usually foinneee. At least the ones I've.....

Nah. I was alluding to a peculiar that you'll see and know that the person is Yoruba. It's like when you see a romani, you'll know straight away, an Eastern European, or Ghanaian etc.. Not saying there's anything wrong with the Yoruba. Do you get my drift now? It's just seeing someone that looks like, let's say Usher or Lil Wayne, you won't call it a Yoruba look, would you? That's basically what I was alluding to. Yoruba nyggahs are the best looking Nigerians, with cool/gentle faces - the dapper dons and swag lords.

I'm not a fan of Drake cos of what you cited but I can relate to this tune. He was basically just talking to me with the lyrics - all the freaking verses. Dammit!! grin

Look at this:

Ever since I left the city, you, you, you
You and me we just don't get along
You make me feel like I did you wrong
Going places where you don't belong
Ever since I left the city, you
You got exactly what you asked for
Running out of pages in your passport
Hanging with some girls I've never seen before


Women are just the most pretentious folks ever, I tell ya. undecided

Anyway, this is my favourite Drake tune ever (a lot of memories are attached to this tune):

[size=13pt]Kemi Adeosun[/size]




Kemi Adeosun was Born 9th March, 1967. She is an indigene of Ogun State. she is the Ministerial Nominee Representing Ogun State”. Prior to her nominaton, She was theCommissioner for Finance, Ogun State with 22 years experience gained internationally and within Nigeria.

Kemi Adeosun attended the prestigious University of East London from 1986 and graduated in 1989 where she bagged a Bsc Hons. In Applied Economics with Upper Second Class Honours. In 1994 she became a member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (England & Wales).

She was Born and bred in London, and she is the third of four children.

She was a senior manager at the Price Waterhouse Coopers, London. Despite the fact that she had a good job in London, she decided to relocate to Nigeria because according to her, she needed to secure her home and have her family intact.

Another reason was the fact that her husband’s business brought him more to Lagos. He was spending a lot of time in Nigeria and by 2002, she had made up her mind and her family moved back to Nigeria.

Some her friends felt she might not be able to cope in Nigeria but she belongs to the school of thought, where everything is possible. She had reasoned that: if Chinese, Indians and other nationals come to Nigeria and are coping, why wouldn’t she in her fatherland.

When she came back to Nigeria, she had the option of retaining her job at Price Water Cooper in Nigeria but she never wanted a job that would make her shuttle from one state to the other. So, in view of that fact, she joined Denham Management as a financial controller and rose to become the managing director. In 2008, the company merged with Chapel Hill

Kemi Adeosun however left the company in 2010. She wanted to be an entrepreneur.

That intention gingered her into organizing the personal finance planning programme for women. She was also a newspaper columnist for sometime. In an interview, she recalled how she came about the programme: “When I returned from London, I discovered most Nigerian women don’t have anything! A large percentage carry designer bags, wear labels but live on credit. Some can’t even lend you N100,000!

Meanwhile, she wears clothes and accessories worth hundreds of thousands! This was unlike our mothers, who built houses and had thriving businesses. So, I started running seminars and teachings on personal financial planning. Aside the column, I also had programmes in churches educating women on how to save money. Though I have stopped the column due to time constraint, I still do the teachings at fora whenever I have the time.”

On how she came to be in Governor Ibikunle Amosun’s cabinet, According to her, it was never on her mind to have a job like such. She has this to say:

“In 2010, a mentor, who is a friend of the Governor called me and said the Governor wanted to see me,” she reminisced.

“He mentioned a job on finance but I replied that I wasn’t interested in any political appointment. He insisted and I went. I just wanted to get there, see the governor, thank him for considering me and reject the offer. But by the time I heard him talk about his plans for the state and his zeal (he is also an accountant); I changed my mind and took up the job,” she added.

But nothing prepared her for what laid ahead of her appointment. The financial mess the government inherited was unthinkable! There were all sorts of debts- from banks to contractors, pensions etc. The funds available just could not go round.

Kemi Adeosun added that she almost cried one day when a pensioner walked into her office and begged her to be paid her pension. The lady had cancer and was due for surgery in India but she didn’t have money. This incident and more made her determined to utilise her skills and improve the financial health of the state. She Thanks God, that she and her team made a lot of progress in getting the state back to her feet financially even though it was tough!”.

The challenges, she faced as Commissioner were enormous but she was able to overcome. “First, it was getting a large percentage to believe that a woman is the commissioner for finance. One day, she was summoned by the governor to see a contractor. When she entered, the look on the man’s face said it all — she can’t possibly be the commissioner. Considering her hair, make-up, suit and jewellery, he was confused. There were more episodes but now, everyone is accustomed to the idea. Whenever she went for the federal allocation committee meeting, she would be asked if she was representing the commissioner. She would always reply, “I’m the commissioner.” She adds that other challenges were: insufficient funds and getting the citizens to pay taxes.

She has however observed that she has had cause to tell her team to correct her whenever she is wrong because according to her, there is so much ‘Yes ma’ here in Nigeria. She added that It is not like that abroad. That she is a commissioner does not make her so superior that she would not be told the truth,” she added.

Despite her enthusiasm at what she does, life as a career woman, a mother and a wife has be hectic. She added that she works in Abeokuta and there are days she does not go to sleep until 2am. it’s work and more work. She however learnt how to juggle things and like other women in Nigeria, cope.

On her style, Kemi Adeosun. warned that she is not as fashionable as most people think. She has this to say “First, know that I’m not a designer freak. My style is easy and I wear what I am comfortable with. I don’t go for labels either. It doesn’t do anything to me. I thought I liked jewellery but now that I’m in Nigeria, I know I don’t. I could wear one for a week while some change theirs everyday! I love it when they do but I can’t do it. With me, it’s simplicity- no nails and minimum make-up. I am comfortable being me. Though I am more conscious of my appearance; I make my hair often, wear more of suits and tie Iro and Buba unlike when I was in London, I still believe in moderation.”

For Kemi Adeosun's leisure? She says that she juggles things to have time for her family but that however robs her of her social life. She hardly attend parties. But she writes, read and still spend quality time with her family.

In Novemeber 2015, she was named as the Minister of Finance under the President Buhari-led administration

I had a chic in the past when I was about that life and wild as fvck. This chic used to tell me to stop hanging out with all kinds of friends, stop going clubbing all the time, stop traveling etc. crying and playing all kinds of emotional blackmail. We broke up and she still blames me for that.

Boom, fast forward to now, she's the one doing everything she used to disturb me about. She's always going out with all types of crazy friends, clubbing and traveling everywhere. And every time I see her these days - she's always wearing skimpy and crazy dresses. The last time I saw her, she had this short denim on, with just bra and her panties...and the button was loose. I was in utter shock, like what happened to this girl? Heck, the heifer still called me last week from Vegas.

So when I first heard this tune, I just related to the lyrics straight-away cos that's my experience as well. Drake was basically talking to me with that tune. grin
