BBA Again

the Nigerian Girl in this show is so DRY!!!!!!!!!!

Who picked her and why didnt they think of picking someone more interesting.

In my opinion she is not a true representation of Naija Jo

BBA & Root Canals

BIG BROTHER AFRICA!!!!!!!

Yo!! this shit is funny i've never seen where a bunch of grown ass men and women will make a fool of themselves for money but then again what else can be anybodys motivation...... it always is money. i never really watched this show before even in the states i actually dont think it was big in the states cos i'm a certified t.v whore and i dont remember ever watching it but i must admit this shit is pretty interesting. i mean put a bunch of people from different countries and back grounds together and you just start to see how very similar we all are..... i mean i feel like i have met someone with each of the housemates personalities before in my life or in nigeria. its really iinteresting

whats your motivation???


on another note i am finally doing my root canal( btw this is long over due) if you remenber i spoke about in my first or second post this was about a year ago that i had the worst tooth ache in the world. well i filled the cavity in the damn tooth sometime last year but apparently the infection wasnt totally cleared ( yeah i had an infection therefore the pain) so almost exactly a year after the pain started again i swear i was almost in tears cos i never thot that the day will come that i will experience the pain again..... trust me it is not cute i actually hear that its second only to child birth ( i really wonder how that is cos this pain is EXCRUCIATING!!!!!!!! trust me). Anyways i'm going to complete my root canal tomorrow and on a side note Root Canals are actually not as painful as people make it seem infact they are not painful at all apart from some tenderness and soreness around the tooth you should be fine and believe me when i say this it took me literarilly my whole life to summon up the courage to go to a dentist and all that. i just hope that this finally solves all my problems

God Help Me

Isnt it ironic that you dont get what you want when you want it ?

I just made a decision in my life that is good for me from some point of view but bad for me from another. i'm being complacent about it and just hoping and praying that things work out fine

God help me

all my life i've always been the good child. i hardly ever did anything to embarrass my parents ( my brothers on the other hand.........well thats another story for another day) and my dad is SUPER proud of me in everything ( he is the greatest by the way)......... so why do i have the feeling all of a sudden that i'm about to break that good streak. i feel like i'm about to do something that will really change how a lot of people feel about me

God help me

I'm kinda stuck in a rut. in this rut i dont feel good about the two options that i have. why cant there just be option three. i'm not really excited about both options that are available to me right now. any way i look at it i'm going to lose out. i'm going to lose a bit of myself........ maybe i'm just being selfish

why is being selfish such a bad thing

whatever decision i make is going to change my life. i mean really change my life........ you know when they say life altering changes.... yeah that

i've never really understood the meaning of being " stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea" until now

God help me

on a lighter note i've been reading a lot of blogs lately and i must say there a lot of pretty interesting blogs out there. very funny ones too

Why????????????

Why is a lagos such a stupid place?

Why would the government wait till its 5pm which is SUPER!!!!!!!! RUSH Hour to start tarring the roads therefore adding to the traffic congestion that is already known to happen at that time in our dear Lagos State?

why dont we just understand how to run basic things ......... as in common now......... its not rocket science. what happened to fixing the road between the hours of 11am and 3pm when there is little or no traffic and why cant the people in charge make sure that they carry out such projects at that time(i mean you are just pouring tar on the damn road its not like you are reconstructing it or something)

Sometimes I just wonder if we have brains and blood running through our veins

Why is the governement always thinking of up grading old structures what happened to building new ones........ the BRT lane, Lekki Express way expansion............ what happened to building a bridge over the existing road and adding a light rail system to the damn road...... we all know that most of us that already drive are not going to leave our cars and join the BRT buses so that means that we are just adding more cars to the existing cars on the roads instead of trying to reduce the amount of vehicles plying lagos roads by creating alternatives.

For Gods Sake Ikorodu road is already congested as it is and now you guys are reducing the 3 lanes that were not enough before??????????......... come on.

Speaking of Ikorodu Road my dad says that he has never seen any street light work on that road since he moved back to nigeria in 1979 ( thats almost 30 years ago by the way) and i personally do not remember ever seeing streetlights on ikorodu road for as long as i can remember.

while i'm on the topic of streetlights why can we not find a solution to lighting our streets and environment??

why dont we care about how whatever we are doing is going to impact the next person either positively or negatively?

and if we do think why dont we always take the positive impact route?

When are we going to ever learn

Are we going to ever learn or do i have to start looking for an alternative place to live???????

The Jero Plays and other rants

i went to see a play yesterday and it was really cool. it was this book we read in secondary school called The Trials of Brother jero and Jero's metarmorphosis ( not sure if this is the correct spelling but at least i tried) by Wole Soyinka. The cast was absolutely amazing and very good. i'm glad i went and i hope to see more plays like this in the future. its just something else to do apart from the regular dinner and a movie i would recommend it to any art enthusiast.

the last time i blogged was well over a year ago and i remember saying something about me being lazy and having a short attention span and therefore not keeping up with the blog........ well i guess i know myself very well cos here i am a year after. a lot has happened in my life tho in the past year......... moved back to nigeria, about to finish NYSC, about to embark on a totally new phase of my life ( i call it being born - again ( not in the religious sense tho) ), quite apprehensive and excited about what lies ahead of me but definitely ready to get on with it.

lets see if i would come back again before 2008

keep hope alive!!!!!!

Feeling cheated

Is it only me but does everyone else always feel cheated anytime they take their car to the shop. It just seems like everytime I need to fix something in my car I come back with more problems. Today was just one of those days for me. Also doesn't it feel like most of these "professionals" never seem to know what the hell is wrong with your car or in another case my teeth (the dentist had no clue why I was having so much pain or at least he didn't do a good job at explaining it to me because by the time I left that dentists office I almost felt worse than I did before I went there) these are the reasons why I like to live in ignorance my motto used to be "what you don't know wont kill you" but I find that nowadays the quest for knowledge or the availability of it is more of a curse as opposed to a gift cos because you know all the things that shouldn't do or eat it makes one more paranoid (at least it makes me). So I'm sitting here typing away a lil bit frustrated because my teeth hurt like mad and in essence the damn thing is ruling my life literarilly and my car is giving me minor problems but I'm not going to let it bring me down.
on a lighter note though I went to see an open mic show ( by the way I've always wanted to go see one of these but never got a chance ) after almost 6 yrs in this country but hey you know what they say.... Better late than never. It wasn't bad at all and it just made me remember one of my dream things to do/business ideas (really hope this dream can come true) but you all have to wait and see hopefully it would........

Virgin Blogger

ok so I have been reading a lot of peoples blogs and I think this thing (blogging) is actually really interesting so I thot why not try doing it so here I am in the middle of the night trying to post something . Being that i live alone i get to talk to myself more often than not and this seems like a way that i could interact with people or at least tell someone else what i noticed on any day or what i'm feeling or perhaps ask a question (this is all based on the assumption that someone will actually take the time out to read this ........ lets give hope some credit) I've always thot of myself as a "good enough" writer (at least i got a's in my english and humanities papers in undergrad ........if thats anything to judge by) but I get really lazy and I have always been fascinated by good writing so I want to use this medium as a way of trying to hone my writing skills ( who am I kidding) . So here's to hoping that I wont be bored by this thing by tomorrow ..... Did I forget to tell you that I have a really short attention span?...........
