Goodbye Alvin ........

The pains we face now .....

You were d joy holding us closer than ever
We were expectant
We were getting ready
We were preparing the ground

But .......

You had to go back

It still hurts
We believe you will be back soon

No matter what ......

We love you and we will remain expectant!

Dear T.Notes ......

Like I said, something keeps calling me back here!

With the spirits of blogsphere hovering over my head and disturbing me in my sleep, I'm hereby notifying you that your days of taking charge of the female folks on here are over. With my long absence, if the spirits guiding us here agree, we may still do the 50-50 formula like it used to be back in the day.

However, do not hesitate to notify me of any new blog that will be of immense interest to me!

I rest my case.




LOL!

Writing ......

The beauty of writing
The beauty of words
The beauty this space brings
The smooth flow of keypads cruising with the mind & thoughts

This space I miss
This land I cherish
This space I have 'crushed'

This space keeps calling me back
No matter how hard I run!

Moving Back .......

 Moving back to Nigeria has been crazy!!!!

This country is still messed up! I have been back for a couple of months now and it’s been with mixed feelings. Mixed feelings because Nigeria hasn’t changed a bit from what it used to be and also because I miss that Chinese shop where I buy Chinese regularly. If you dare try to buy Chinese in Naija, one will have to pay through the nose for it. It’s all good sha ....I improvise with normal rice and stew.

One good thing about moving back home is the fact that I’m closer to my family. I also have this inner peace of having my own home and I can gradually plan my life. The bad part of moving back home stems from the fact that more people are on your case and trust Nigerians, they think they know what next step you have to take whether it is what you want or not. I got this strange call from a guy who felt I should just go and do a phd straight because I have a UK masters. Na so e easy? This guy was really on my case, he kept pushing me back and forth until I categorically told him a phd isn’t what you just jump into, it is a research process and one must have sustained interest. Well, things are taking shape gradually. Employment is still a big issue but I have seen it all since I got back. From working in Lekki to struggling with traffic and waking up at 3am to get to work early enough, it’s been really crazy. I will share my work experience in Lekki via another post soon enough. Let’s hope I have finally appeased the gods that have prevented me from blogging.

I have missed folks here! What have you guys been up to?

So Far .....

I just can't count the number of times I have come to this blog with the hope of pouring out my thoughts like never before. I really can't come out with my thoughts because I know loads of people(those who have somehow linked the real me to this blog) sneak here to see or know what's been going on in my life (as if there's anything interesting *smirks*). Times like this, I really wish I had remained anonymous! I still admire my new found 'crush' who despite all threats has refused to come out of the anonymous world. You may be wondering if i'm crazy right? Don't mind me, I always have a virtual crush at one point or the other *hehehehehe*.

So much for this UK life .......

Three years and still counting .....

I have done some crazy things and made some crazy decisions in the last few months or let's just say in 2012. I have even started doing some crazy hairstyle and working on having the perfect David Beckham dress sense and style . I'm a huge a David Beckham fan. I also think watching too much football and seeing different hairstyles on footballers is seriously affecting me.

I think I am enjoying what life has to offer now.

Open Letter to Naijalines

Dear Naijalines,

It's been quite a while Egbon. I haven't heard from you in a while and I trust all is well.....

I must admit that I don't usually blog like I used to do, not because of lack of things to write about but the zeal and muse to write just seems to have disappeared. However, I come here quite often to do the usual blog rounds and I must confess, to see what my naughty friends like T.Notes has been up to in recent times and catch up on the identities of the latest girls admiring his writing. (LOL!).

Egbon, I also snoop around your blog even though I don't often drop comments like before. Some few days back, I was dropping by as usual and noticed that your blog has been turned into a 'CIA' blog whereby one has to be invited before one can read the contents.

What exactly do I have to do to become an elite member or reader of your new blog????






Your 'Aburo'( Am I still in that position?)

2011 ...............

2011

Terrible mistakes were made

Wrong decisions were made

Got carried away a lot of times

Things were at a standstill

Along the line

Things got back in line

Doors were opened

Mistakes were rectified

Made more enemies

Just for things to be right

No regrets whatsoever

I forge ahead without regrets

A better entity evolved

The peace came back and covered all pains

Pains were relieved

2012 

Will be better

Major steps will be taken

Joy will be fully restored
