BEGGAR OR NOT?

2013-06-03T13:41:00.001+01:00

So I went to the bank the other day and I parked at an empty spot, there were so many free spots that day; it was a weekend heyyyy! I guess that’s why I was confused when someone parked right behind me and blocked me from leaving, I don’t understand. Why me? The person doesn’t know what I’ve gone through in this life. Why?

Anyways, while I was waiting for the person to come and comot their moto a man walked to me, nah its not what you think! LOL Not another toaster, as I’m sure some of you are already rolling your eyes. This man was an older man, his moromoro was well oiled and shinning under the glistening sun,.He was also a bit bent, and wearing carton coloured shirt and pants, now that I think about it, he looked like a driver. Well, what did he want from me?

STOP!!! POLICE!!!

2013-05-09T18:48:00.001+01:00

Exactly what I have been dreading; Nigerian Police stopping me and asking for this & that. I’ve been driving without my licence (e dey warri) so I felt like a criminal already. I comot go somewhere (which is gist for another post) so on my way back naim I see the police dem, I first form say I nor see the two police as they were waving their guns. “Abeg they should not stop me oh” …I was already praying.

I had a pretty hectic morning and I never chop at all, it was about 3:00pm, I don’t need more frustration. I don't want provocation ;most of my wrong decisions have been made when I was hungry and I need to use this medium to apologise for whatever I've said to people in real life when I was hungry. I didn't mean it. LOL.

Anyhow sha, I stopped, my heart dey tensh but I flashed my most disarming smile, the smile I use to beg for things, the smile I use to pose for photos, I’m sure you guys know the SisiYemmie smile already.

I was expecting the man to just start the process, asking for particulars, kini kan, kini kan…but instead of a frown, he smiled. HE SMILED! I nor dey trust police smile so I increased the wattage of my smile. I kon wind the glass down…

NEVER SAY NEVER!

2013-04-26T13:41:00.000+01:00

Once upon a time, I wrote this on blog that I will never, shall never think about doing this natural hair thing. yes I did! You can read it HERE... but that was a while ago. LOL Things don change since that time, people don get belle, people don born. Pikin we dey crawl that time don dey waka now, so change happens. I blame the natural hair girls I was seeing that time, their hair was quite unkempt and it was not appealing! And some of those ladies were quite mean in their approach... for example... "go natural or die" LOL. I exaggerate

Ha fa na? meaning how are you? incase your pidgin is getting rusty. I get tory to nak una…

So during valentine, yes the one wey just pass, I na went to the aiport to catsh my flight, I got there on time. But there’s nothing more annoying than getting somewhere early and then there’s a delay; as I heard Aero contractors almost always delay. Your flight can be 1:00pm and dem go shift am to 6pm…

My flight was delayed so I decided to buy etisalat sim card, while I was there I noticed this man…. Scratch that. I noticed this daddy was using corner eye to look at me and the kind of smile he gave me was inappropriate for his age. I mean… to a girl like me.

Anyhow sha I bought the card and went to the lounge. I sat on their iron chair and started reading Genevieve Magazine; in fact I bought it specially cos our very own Lohi feature was there (did you guys see it? Proud I know her!), so I was jejely reading it oh…

2013-02-27T23:37:00.000Z

LOL… This is not a sponsored blog post. Well, not intentionally on TFC's side sha. Just read to the end and you will understand why.

As some of you know, I'm now in 9ja oh… Lagos to be precise ( so if you want to invite me for anything, you know, tell me oh). Yes, I'm here to experience the Lasgidi Livin' and I'll be here for a while. I'm a JJC in Lagos but I musto be a big girl in this Lagos, all the money i've been seeing in the music videos, I must be part of it. This is not one of my quickie trips. Abeg, let me continue with the original gist.

Ehen, so I went to TFC on thursday night to buy 1 pack of rice and chicken. Pere! When I reach there, i placed my order, fried rice and chicken. Otan. The guy kon collect money from me and said that he will give me 1 extra pack of rice and chicken JUST BECAUSE.

Bush Babies By My WINDOW! *audio inserted

2013-01-24T10:42:00.000Z

Last night I didn't go to bed on time, I'm like kerosene; I nor dey sleep! So while I was busying watching some youtube videos and looking on Pinterest I heard a sound. I was confused. It sounded like 3 babies crying. Theres no way babies are going to be crying outside my window, in this cold! I mean, look at the time! 01:56am!

So I turned off everything in my room so I could listen to the sound (because I was shaking like fowl wey rain beat)... I even turned off the lights! I'm such a chicken! They sounded like babies, but like angry babies, a bit like cats but not exactly! Like babies that are drunk. I'm confused. *scratches head. They were modulating sef, like choir. One was doing high pitch, the other was doing alto, another one tenor. Please I don't understand.

All the hairs on my body stood up, well expect for the my armpit hairs (just shaved lol). I was so scared. It sounded like some ishawuru things. I tweeted about it, some people say make I go sleep, but how do I sleep? you want me to dream of bush babies pursing me?

Yes!

I think I heard BUSH BABIES! C'aaaman!

I didn't attend boarding house but I've heard the stories. Are bush babies real? Because someone needs to tell me the things that were crying outside my room. Creepy stuff! I want my mommy!
*sobs

LISTEN!

I Miss Me -Tosyn Bucknor!

2013-01-23T09:05:00.003Z

I absolutely love everything about this song, the tempo, the lyrics...make sure you listen!

#1SongAWeek #PopRockSoulJara

In keeping with her promise to release one song a week from her album released on Christmas Day in 2012, CON.tra.diction releases a new single today.

‘I Miss Me’ was produced by Dj Klem of Knighthouse and speaks about that overwhelming feeling of nostalgia we all have as adults where we remember things that used to be and miss them.

In this song, CON.tra.diction speaks about the most painful kind of nostalgia- missing yourself.

Review: Look At That FOOD! 805 Restaurant London !

2013-01-22T14:45:00.001Z

WHERE I WENT

805 Restaurant, London. (Ps. The journey was long, because we had to take so many
trains to get there! )My! my!! my!!!

THE OBSERVERS

I went there with my lovely friend, Diane...she told me about this place and made my mouth water in advance. I have to confess,we went to this restaurant early 2011 and I looked into my drafts and saw this post, so why not upload it? lol

LOOKY-FEELY

The general feel of the restaurant was "Nigerian", but of course! What was I expecting?
The environment was alright but I can't describe it properly because I was starving and
I wanted to see the FOOD! Where is the FOOD? You know I don't play with my FOOD!

I'M NOT HUNGRY!

2013-01-20T08:38:00.000Z

I remember when I was a smallie…I did something bad and my mama flog me. After flogging she now said I should go and eat. Eat wetin? For my mind I said I will show her pepper, so I said what any angry (deranged) person would say…

'I'm not hungry'

For my mind I dey feel say e go pain her…but I was hungry men. The lions and hyena's in my tummy were already screaming and insulting me, but I lock up. I bone.

If you have to get angry, do it well.

So I went inside my room picked up a book and started reading…. the words became hazy and I suddenly felt like the earth was spinning aha, but I kept my focus and kept reading. 2 hours later I have not turned the page, I was reading. Well, I wasn't. My brain don hang.
