Indulgence Day

So just as it is, today, unintentionally (in my world) turned out to be that title above. Being too serious kills creativity.
Can you imagine being in a cinema and all you can think of is to go to the book store??? For what? Okay so I broke my movie jinx today. I watched X-Men First Class. COOOOOL!!!(2 fingers in the air).

And ummm...ya..its a big deal. I happen to pass in front of silverbird galleria virtually every blessed day and I haven't seen a movie in say 3 months. I must add that I went there...say 3 times...just to get books. *smh*.

So I discovered, there some things I haven't been doing/done in a long while which I'm going to be indulging in just for today (I hope). Last on the list is 'sleeping early'. (c'mon 10pm is early now). Well whatever...I hope you had a great day?
If you didn't, maybe the video below will help you laugh a little. Okay, that is on the indulgence list too.(Post your 1st ever video on the blog).
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!(and end with a silly laughter).

I owe you.

*On my knees* No excuses. I miss this space soooo much.

It's my mind's slate and I owe you all an apology for being an unfaithful blogger. Hehehe...

Now, its funny what's happening this days in my beloved Africa.

Gaddhafi power-drunk and hell-bent on holding on to it. If only he realises that sometimes to prove you're a man you have to let go. But its sad the way things are turning out. People living in caves like we are in the days of old.

Heard Mubarak has a stomach cancer. *smh* I hope he makes it through.

My beloved Nigeria, on the brink of a Naira-value nosedive now deals with a major National issue of insecurity. Wars in others countries are fought with neighbouring countries or even non-neighbouring ones but my beloved Africa wars with its very own self. Where lies our dignity?

I just hope y'all are keeping abreast of the happenings around you. Notwithstanding, good things are still happening. In the Sports scene, we're not doing bad. Entertainment industry hasn't gotten any better.

God help us all. Don't forget to read my latest note.

From Chickens to Eagles

I can imagine tomorrow's Newspaper Headlines.
Punch Newspaper which is a bit mature might put it on their sports page as "Eagles emerge winners!"
Complete Sports-"Eagles demolish Argentina Messi-lessly"
Alawiye Yoruba Newspaper- "Awon Supa Eagle fi atarodo merin soju Argentina!"(The Super Eagles put 4 red peppers inside Argentina's eyes) I'm serious ooo.
I can't even imagine PM News? This newspaper scares me the most with their headlines.
If you think you can beat mine, then its on.

The Match!

But seriously my darling Super Eagles were upgraded from the former Super Chickens' Status to Super Eagles. Twas a brilliant performance this night and I dedicate this post to them. Nigeria 4 - 1 Argentina.
Argentina played poorly though coupled with poor officiating and I wondered why a regulation time of 5 minutes extended into 7 and a half minutes. Rather sad.
Guiness 'The Match' as it was tagged was such an innovative idea asides the soccer game itself.

Mr Tuface with Brilla FM's presenter sang the Nigeria anthem to open it up.
The 5 winners of the Guiness Raffle draw also took part in the game which was my best part.
I did not say they played ooo!

One of them was chosen to walk with Samson Siasia (coach Super Eagles), One to handle the camera action at the sidelines (I wish this was me, hehehe), One guy (Oliver Anozie by name) as an analyst alongside that charming Supersport 3 Soccer analyst. He stammered a bit but made sense with his analysis of the game at halftime. The other 2 were to....I've forgotten sef.
Anyways I enjoyed the game and for once I think we might soon start seeing the Super Eagles we knew in USA 94!

Okay! Away from soccer, I'll be editing Steve Harris Interview this night which should be up by tomorrow morning. Watch out for revealing facts on how he came all the way from being a college dropout to a Corporate Sell-out!
No other way do you get this, than @ moi frequency! *wink*
HAPPY NEW MONTH!

Oh my word! See cobwebs all around here.

Now let me get my broom. *Now sweeping*

Miss you all dearly. Last week, I was quite busy a bit though its not a justification for leaving this page blank.
I just finished a book titled 'The Man God Uses' by Oswald J. Smith and I recommended it on a post I put on FB. I found out all of a sudden that my love for reading grew by a great fraction. Its good, I think.

My 1st and worst negotiation also happened this weekend. Still learning the art of business. We'll get there.

Currently, I'm reading a book by Chimamanda Adichie, titled 'The Thing Around Your Neck'. That book is a classic and Chimamanda is indeed a gift to the African Literary Community. Oh sorry I'm reading 2 books at the same time. 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu is another one I usually read 'in transit'.

I just released a story on the blog and its awaiting publishing on Naija Stories. Enjoy as you read.

My passion

A student grabbed a coin,

Flipped it in the air & said,
"Head, I go to sleep."

Tail, I watch a movie.

If it stands on the edge I'll study.

Hehehehe...howdy all. Hope your kicking. Glad I'm here again on this brown page to scribble some of my musings as is the tradition.
Firstly to a member of the blogsville community, I'd say Happy Birthday Tolu Akanni. Wish you the very best man. You're a gift.

Okay, I'm getting addicted these days to my PC which I kinda object to. We had a fight a while ago based on this same issue. The addiction is good from an angle cuz I do a lot on sites like Naijastories, this blog, Lowla Dee's blog, Afrosays witty stories, Myne Whitman's page and my mailbox. I read a lot on blogs I visit and probably comment on good stuffs I see but I feel its getting too much (don't know why).

Tomorrow is going to be a very busy day but its all good.
There are 2 things I still have a hard time distinguishing which one I love more and they are Writing and Telecoms.
Telecoms flows in my blood. I pulsate when I'm working on a Base Station or fixing some equipments. I love it to pieces and its the reason I wanna go to sleep right now so I can be up and doing tomorrow.

There's nothing like knowing you love something and sticking to it. There's so much joy in that.
Okay, I finally got to convince an upcoming talent to submit her write-up a while ago and thank God she did.
Enjoy as she reveals her thoughts on Friendship.

Latest updates for you

I have over 15 tabs open on my taskbar and its all unfinished work!
Oops! sorry I forgot to say hi to you my wonderful reader.

I have a pending poem to be published now written by Somto Okeke, my 'oga' in poetry. There's another write-up by an upcoming newbie in the writing community (It took a lot of persuasion to get her to give me the piece to be published and its actually not a bad one for starters.

I have joined Naija stories (NS)...Yay! Its an online community of upcoming Nigeria writers where you get honest and sometimes harsh criticisms or praises on your work.

True confession:  Between the lines above and the words below this sentence, there was a 2-hour loss of time in which I was sucked into a big dreamland time-vortex. You no sey body no be firewood nah. Hehehehe...


Also mikesfrequency already has 3 of its articles published already on Naija Stories and hopes to do more as time goes on.Ticking away and Black Beauty have attracted views of over 200 readers.

Shoutout to Myne Whitman for a good job on Naija Stories.

Now let's see how we can make good use of this night's solitude. See you guys soon.

Wedding Stories

Remember I talked one time about my big fight with technology, FB and the likes? Well, word on the street has it that we're back together again for a lil while as it were. Hehehe. Silly me.

Okay, about the wedding I talked about in my previous post? Twas fab! Ok...True confession, I missed the exchange of vows and the 'I do' part while staring in each others faces. I also missed the 'You may now kiss the bride' part. Arrgh! I should be caned but all well and good I graced the closing remarks in my regalia.

The Adebiyis with a classic pose

Going to weddings sort of gives you an awareness which I won't spell out and at this point I doff my hat while raising a glass to the latest couples in town...Mr & Mrs Adebiyi

I must commend the dancing prowess of the bride. It was too gbaski (another word for awesomeness).

Dear future wife,
This is to gently warn you of my dancing skills and to let you know its on! Cuz on that day...I'll beat you to it.
But till then...MWAH!
                                                                                             xoxo...The love of your life.
 Another highlight of my day was a meeting with a reverred friend of mine. 2 hours of sharing views, asking honest questions on life, passion, career paths, purpose and the list is endless. Part of the reasons I decided to get back to FB. Don't ask me why. :-)) Today...Oh! Yesterday(Saturday) I mean was worthwhile and above it all God favoured me all through the places I went.

Wish you guys a happy Sunday and check out my latest piece and why I got pissed with Technology below.

20m and counting

How are y'all doing? Fine I guess. Yay! Finally something on 'Raw Talk' page. My inspiration was gotten at 20m above sea level.
Don't worry, you'll understand what I mean when you read it.

Firstly, God is good I must say. There's been a conundrum of good news this days that makes me know fully that God is awesome!

I just finished reading a beautiful piece on marriage from one of my best blogs ever and I recommend you read it too. My best part of a wedding used to be the part where the cake was shared, or when I got to eat the party rice but that was a few years back when I attended a wedding last. I'm excited cuz this weekend, I'll have the privilege to grace one again as always. I'm thinking maybe it might be the exchange of vows especially when the bride calls the bridegroom's name while reciting her vows to him

Lets just say, when I'm not blogging, I'm probably configuring some Telecoms equipment, learning Project Mgt. methodologies or reading some book. This now brings me to introduce my write-up which was inspired by climbing a 50m tower.
