I have two alarms, one rings at 5.30am while the other one rings at 6am. Most times, i stick to 6am, cos in a funny way, the sleep always get sweeter at 5.30.
I say my morning prayers and get out of bed. I shower get dressed and am ready to go. I get to work, we say our prayers and i log in to youtube and search for my songs for the day. Today's search was: Obey, Lucky Dube and Eric Donaldson. Youtube is the only way i get to listen to music and my computer has stopped playing cd's.
I always have lunch between 12pm and 2pm and depending on what i eat i might stop being productive. Work continues and i start looking forward to 5.30pm.
I close from work, get home, go jogging if i feel guilty, go to church if there is a service, or watch E! or Africa Magic till i fall asleep.
That is how my day goes and it is NOT boring!

Random....
I don't feel so well but i have got good news to share. My friend & colleague put to bed this morning. I was ecstatic when i heard the news, am really very happy for her, everyone is, and we give God all the glory.
Now sad news, a uk pastor that i liked so much, i remember always watching him on tv years back and never used to miss his programme is being jailed for sexually assaulting teenage boys!!! The news is so unbelievable, i was in shock when i read the news and almost passed out when i saw his picture to actually confirm his identity. Wonders will never end!!!
So am gonna be baptized on sunday and i am scared already, not that am so afraid of water, its just that the whole process of dipping my head in water just makes it look like am gonna drown and i am seriously praying not to be the first person to be immersed, that way, i would have gained more confidence.
5.30pm on my mind.
Cheers!

Awuff!!!
Am sure we all know that its no longer news that Genesis Deluxe Cinemas have their highest sales on Wednesdays. Yes, i am one of the very many people that patronize them only on Wednesdays and i no get shame.
The funny thing is that there are always so many people at the cinema on Wednesdays including working class dudes and chics and nobody is bothered about what anybody thinks, thats one of the traits i love about Nigerians...We don't send!!!
Who won't grab the opportunity of watching a movie at less than half of the price? Sometimes sef, i wish i still had my School Id so i can pay less, and am not ijebu!!!
So i went to see a movie with my colleagues and it was fun all the way, halfway into the movie, PHCN struck and we were in darkness for like 5mins. It was 5 mins of comedy galore......
Infact when we got there we met more of our colleagues, thats the extent at which Nigerians love awuff.
The good thing is that this type of awuff no dey run belle!!!

Elections!
The election is starting on Saturday and from what i heard there won't be movement till later in the evening.
Am very glad cos what that simply means is that am having Saturday all to myself and i plan to sleep, clean, wash, cook..... the list is endless.
I am anticipating to have a "me" time so much and hopefully i will go out to cast my vote.
Truth is, am most interested in the gubernatorial and presidential elections and i hear that is next and upper week end. I shall cast my vote and not "Blezz my hand on the umblerra"
The week has been pretty hectic but it keeps getting better.
Cheers!

Nigerian Idol (2)
Now that Nigerian Idol is over, am wondering what the next talent show will be. I have actually been seeing an ad on Nigerians got talent. Am very sure the auditioning will be hilarious, those are the things i enjoy watching, trust me Nigerians are very funny people.
So yes, the best singer didn't win but the best entertainer won. I think Nigerians generally love to be entertained irrespective of what is being delivered. Yeka, wasn't fantastic when she auditioned for the show, but she obviously improved and impressed everyone. Naomi on the other hand was always on point, her voice was sonorous and the judges always complimented her and the audience always applauded her.
Yeka worked on herself and showed everyone that she has got talent and swagger and she went for it. She was so shocked when her name was announced because she felt Naomi deserved it. A hearty congratulations to you Yeka, Keep up the good job and hope to hear your songs very soon.
Cheers!

Dbanj Iscariot!!!
My dear readers, hope you all are good? I have been pretty busy myself and have not had time to blog. Its been a very hectic week i must confess.
There are so many things i have been wanting to write about but i couldnt due to work and its kinda stale now sef but i shall still talk the talk....
The first one is about the upcoming elections. The real story is about the interview between Dbanj and GEJ. Just this morning i read about Eldee'S comment on the interview. In my opinion, i really cannot fault Dbanj, the young man is an entertainer and has obviously become the president's boy, he has performed at Mr. President campaigns and numerous dinner organized by PDP. So why would he refuse to grant Mr. President an interview? Its actually GEJ am disappointed in, whoever advised him to come up with that CRAP must really think we are retarded....
And yes, i can't forget Prof Wole Soyinka's statement about the set of people that will vote for PDP.
"Only 4 sets of people can vote for the PDP: (1) those who are intellectually blind; (2) those who are blinded by ethnicity; (3) those who are blinded by corruption and therefore afraid of the unknown, should power change hands; and finally (4) those who are suffering from a combination of the above terminal sicknesses.”
Please people, Don't plezz ya hand on the umblerra!!!

Bollywood Syndrome
I have been playing indian songs on youtube since monday, it really does bring back good memories. We so much loved indian movies when i was growing up, my mum infected everyone with the syndrome. The indian movies we had were countless back then it was on VHS and we watched indian movies everyday.
Apart from being infected by my mom, i grew up to like it too, my brother and i would sing all the songs as though we were indians. My favorite ones then were; Dharaam veer, Amar, Akbar Anthony, Yeh vaada raha, The burning train, Kalia, Mad, Yeh Nazdikiyan, Disco dancer, Hero, thats as far as i can remember. I really loved their songs, i loved the horses, i loved the sari, i loved their dance steps.
The new generation indian movies cannot be compared to my darling old ones, the movies i listed were produced in the 80's and i would give anything to have them back. I can't seem to connect with the new generation like i did with the very old ones.
Really would love to visit india someday and who knows, i might meet Amitabh Baachan.
Cheers.
