a thousand words...

i've been tired lately. like super brain drained and weak as soon as its noon; and no, i don't eat pounded yam for lunch. to cut the long story short, i had to find motivation to go through the day today. i find that some days, no matter how much you have to do, or how hard you push, you just cannot get yourself to do any useful work (hi boss!). and so, i decided to write a few reviews about my trip earlier this year. i find tripadvisor.com to be a very useful site for travellers... the reviews and experiences of older travellers make it near impossible for you to get in trouble at your travel location...but it also makes you paranoid of the locals cos some people have had mad nasty experiences.

in trying to get the pictures to attach to my review, i stumbled on the following pictures i have gathered over the years from the internet (i didn't take the pictures and do not own them in any way) and i couldn't help thinking about how much foolishness exists on this one planet. heres my thought above each picture: 

1. do one brave thing today ... cos thats all you'll probably live long enough to do




2. superman's second son - batman - looks surprisingly human




3. this is why you should take offence when your sister calls you a goat



4. gen gen!! james bond...actor no dey die jare


5. how government supports small businesses

6. why we were better off without autocorrect


7. "what da heck do you mean by 'there's no milk?'"


8. you better let your children to be 'find in the society'...bering them o


9. toinlicious stop licking your lips...you too feyi. 'chin yung kai' like you


10. now you know where your colleagues make their hair for 300 dollars and still look like king kong
 N.B: "Pendinquor" included!




11. Riiiiiiiiiiigggghhhhttttt! nigger pleez...

there's nuffin more to say. see y'all around peeps! :)

Of #MoreThanPlatitudes

Look at this picture. That's one of the children being rescued from a collapsed school building in Lagos, Nigeria. You don't have a be a parent and I won't pander to your better instincts. Tell me this is acceptable or should be allowed to occur again. The President sent condolence messages and the Governor visited the site then said the state emergency services will do all they can cliched response. the end. and people moved on. The heartbreaking pictures of the children pulled out half dazed with cement dust all over their little noses (Exhibit A) did not let me sleep last night. I have gone to drop a comment on the governor's pages on all social media platforms that we need #MoreThanPlatitudes 🚫❌ We need to hear what policy changes are triggered by the death of these babies. The Commissioner of Education must address Lagosians and set up a project team with the Commissioner for Works or Town Planning etc to undertake an immediate structural integrity test...

of the world through their eyes

Sometimes, the best blog post on a subject is made of the words from someone directly involved and this interview could not have come at a better time. Meet my friend Lola, longtime childhood friend and huge blog fan. I just want one person who reads this to relate to it, and get the real sense…that many other people out there have dealt with whatever you are presently dealing with closely, and are winning. Me: so, i'm doing a series of interviews and I’d be glad to chat with you though on anything you're comfortable sharing Lola: shoot Me: what exactly do you do for a living? Lola: practice law largely, I freelance as referee, cook, nurse......name it Me: LOL @ your freelancing jobs...I guess that’s what every mum does. Okay. With a NGO? Or private practice? Lola: private practice (new at it), been in NGO for the better part of my working life Me: that much I remember @ NGO. What was that like? And why did you leave? Lola: interesting, but the last one I was at had...

of those days

i love the phrase "in those days". for a long time in my life, i never felt qualified to use it though, but everyone older than me seemed to use with such pride that it made the phrase itself assume greater meaning than the sum of its words. it was not only used to reminisce, but also used condescendingly. whenever you said something factual yet unpalatable to someone who was older than you, and they lacked the authority to slap you across the face, they would resort to trying to sting you by starting the next sentence with "i don't blame you, in those days...". unlike many people around me, i had the good fortune of starting school early and never failing a single class. which meant that compared to many of my peers, i was often quite young for my class later in life. by the time i finished law school i was 24 and my dad could not stop oggling at all the other classmates during my call to bar ceremony. i vaguely remember him telling my mum and i on the drive ho...
