dada

i have natural hair under my scarf now cos my younger-ones decided to do practicals with my hair one fateful day... (i refuse to talk about that)
all well and good.
but this.... on my head... takes a long time to maintain.
honestly its not easier than relaxed hair atalllllll.
its longer than my relaxed air ever was but nne... make i no lie.
it no easy.
it takes time to get it to look presentable both at home and in a salon. :( ( and its soft o... )
i didnt even need to comb my relaxed hair. ill just put my had through and i was good to go.
its now now that i dnt have time that this 1 came to add its own.
mscheeew.
where i stay everybody was forced to carry their short natural hair throughout secondary school and therefore see me as just punishing myself....
:( no shakara on top everyting.

i asked some1 what they tought about locs and the person said
" tufia,  dada ke?"
lool
so where am i going with this?
*drumroll*
dada

ive been obsessing over locs for a very long time now.
the artificial 1 o.
(my liver never reach the 1 wey majek fashek dey carry)

i really do not send what most people think about me or my hair...,
but im scared, it'll affect my chances of getting somethings done,
like the kinda jobs i can get.
im scared some people will look down on me in some places.
im scared my mum will tell me to take if off..
things like that.
i dnt even know if i go fine for am..

so if you've tried this b4.. abeg direct me to your experiences.
did it hinder u from anything.
did any body beat or persecute u.
did your pastor call you to pray against ogbanje?
 (we all know Nigerians can put peoples matter on their head)
or did people think it was beautiful on your head
or did they look at it as just ordinary attachment?





random fun fact:
'Dada' in traditional Yoruba culture described children who were born with locked hair, or people who grew them for religious purposes. They used to be consecrated to the Orisa (or deity) of vegetables and newborns called Dada in the past, and their hair was supposed to be left uncut for a specific amount of time until a special celebration/ceremony could be held. Ijebus also sometimes call them 'omolokun', and they share similiar beliefs with Ijaw and other Niger Delta peoples about the special qualities of these children. Most of the traditional beliefs are not closely followed anymore though.

hey.......

God bless u.

N.Y.S.C

my country people....
yes, this pest is back again....
i know, i know.. i promised not to go on this kinda hiatus again, but omo it was necessary o
this country that i silently advocate for all d time, decided to send me to 1 remote bush.. somewhere deep in the heart of the country in the name of service...

oya grab ur popcorn nd try not to sleep.
ill try to summarize my 3 weeks of camp.
let me start with day 1... as my experiences will fill up a book.

now...
my going to camp could not have come at the wrongest time, cos i had to write an exam which i waznt prepared for in December. and i was going to camp for the last 3 weeks in November.

well my camp was approx 13 hrs from Lagos, so going by road waznt even an option for me.

big otondo like me decided to carry her books with her to the airport (bigs gals tins abi... just wait na)
big mistake.. my books weighed 10kg.. nd i was told to pay almost 10grand extra for extre luggage
(ehn kilon jebe?)

i sha patched patched d books with my hand luggage nd i started  carrying it up nd down d airport o.

then my friend gave me d call of life..
"babe hope u re nt carrying big box o"
"nne y?"
"cos im in camp already nd u have to carry ur box on ur head b4 u kn pass tru d gate"
"O_O   OO"
"issalie"
"see this 1 o, u think say i dey joke? if u like ehn bring d whole lagos come here... u re on your own o"

(end of conversation)

chineke!!!!!!
what did i just do to my self?
i looked from my bag (the hand luggage which i waz still struggling to carry), to the airport tent (where my heavy box was chilling already checked in.) and i started pitying my self.
(who sent me message o)

lord y oh y did u make me so tiny nd all.

well i managed to get rid of d books 1 way or d other (dnt ask me how)
and some hours later i found myself in nsit-atai.

hmmmn. my friend waznt lying o.
the security man at d gate waznt smiling a tall.
i begged, pleaded, almost even bribed him to let me go through d gate without carrying my box on my head.
oga no gree o.
infact he started chasing me away sef....

i knew babes were not smiling when i saw some Brazilian hair wearing babes with their boxes nd buckets on their heads.
apparently i waz d only  who got didnt get the memo. :(

1 man sha helped me tru d gate only sha.

now i was in.

if u had seen d queue for registeration ehn. ....... lemmy not go into that, just not now.

they started checking our luggage for contraband nd all... u should have seen d way d policewomen started laughing when they saw d amount of grub (provisions) i brought along...

now after u re searched for contraband items.. u go on to meet the military men, who will tell u to frog-jump, sing, dance and run with ur box STILL ON YOUR HEAD....
i mean... iznt it a wicked world we live in?

the evil men started laughing and making jest of me when they looked at me nd my box.
in front of every1 o....
trust me u dnt want military men to make jest of u... it can pain.

God bless d angels that held those tears back for me.
i became the comic relief for the corpers on d registration queue already.

it waznt funny o...
there waz nothing i did not form, asthma, ulcer, death....  they didnt let me go o.
i must have spent like 1 hour there for 15 mins drill.

i sha trieed nd tried nd tried nd reached 1 stage sha ... until 1 ishewu who wanted to start to chyke me now let me go.

*sigh* ill never forget that day...
i jst registered in my mind  "I DON DIE"

I did part of my registration that day, hustled for a room, hustled for a bunkspace nd hustled for a mattress. i almost had to hustle for my life sef.
oh nd by hustled i mean i fought tooth and nail (literally) with matured, beard growing, muscular tarzan looking women who had leg yams the same size as my thighs.

(not all the babes in camp were like this o... b4 they find me and..... )

this was still day 1... no day 0....
trust me after all these... i still hadnt seen anything.


well let me stop here for now.
i had so many experiences, i actually kept a diary. (i stopped filing in after like 10 days)
i saw the good, the bad and the ugly...
and as d spirit leads.. ill update u guys more....

but nysc camp was ok.. i met alot of fantastic people...
and if u ask me..... (in omawumis voice)

i think therez something seriously wrong with our educational system cos a lot of people in camp could not speak correct English, some couldn't even communicate well and d mentality of some people.....
trust me.. only d lord can have mercy nd save them and i totally say this with all seriousness.

im grateful to be back home to my family,unstable electricity  Lagos holdup, a w.c toilet, even the tiny ants under my bed now.
experiences like this make u grateful for little things we take for granted everyday.

until then enjoy peace, joy and afang soup.
God bless thou...


oh oya take a look at 'baby corper' (i dnt know y people call me that everywhere i go in my uniform)

first and last week

lets talk about music

so anybody that knows me knows im a sucker for Nigerian music....

in fact i love music in general, but i just think Nigerians make the best good manageable music sometimes.

sometimes o...

not all the time

so theres habit i have,( i dont know if its a good or bad habit o, bt dat 1 na for ya pocket)

i go on itunes, look at the top 100 songs, listen to the tiny preview/pre-listen iTunes allows, and then i pick the 1z i find interesting and i go to mp3 skull to download. :).

(no money to waste im sorry, i neva start to dey work)

so i had been hearing bout this gangnam style song since o..

i didnt even know how it souned like, but i carried my strong head and still went to download it...

(it was number 1 on itunes nd naija internet did not allow me preview :( )

mscheeew... to say i was disappointed would have been an understatement.

if u stay here in naija,

ull understand how we mize (minimize) mbs here as the crappy internet service is expensive and yet again crappy.

i was angry mhen...

it sounded to me like a hungry Korean masquerade was ranting. 

but then i saw the video.... nd i understood y it was iTunes number 1....

those dance steps....  tres tres hillarious.

lool

 see d video sha sha, nd see how this bladdy Korean used naija brain for the world (sing crappy songs with mad beats nd cover up with interesting video.)

now to d naija scene...

how many of u listened to tonto dikes songs??

how many hands do i see there??

thanks to twitter, i think i was spared the agony as some pple called it.

i dont know how bad the songs were cos i didnt listen to them,

but to those of u that did, more wax to ur ears sha.

next on d agenda...

how many off u like/love or even know burna boy??

hey hey calm down if u havnt heard the name b4... or if ur a tiny groupie, im not claiming him o.

hes a new artist, with a single thats stealing the hearts of alot of nigerian girls.

personally i think hes ok, the single is interesting.

but who saw the video of him fall off the stage at the oris  the headies..

mhen that video made my week...

HILLLLLLLARIOUSSSS....

im soo sorry burna boy, but i cant keep this wonderful source of laughter from the people of blogspot.

what made this video even funnier was the fact that he joined mouth to wish death on tonto dike for her noise song. karma's a bitch yea... 

so my country people, am i the only 1 worried / concerned at the rate Nigeria churns out noise in the name of music.

every sulia,tom and akpos is a musician. 

no body passes any message, no body has any lyrical content... na wa o.

even the self acclaimed "only mc with an msc" *cough cough i no talk name o cough *  doeznt have any song encouraging us too to get an msc... 

maybe he has sha, nd i jst havnt heard it... u know how things go... 

theres no artist with a nigerian dream, even the 1z that had b4 have been chased away. now every body want to "ti ghen ghen"

i personally don't want pple forcing school or anything down my throat o bt atleast... make una try na.

u need to go on Bella naija to read/ listen to the interviews of some celebrities... 

sometimes i jst think they are all in a competition for the dumbest to emerge as the winner.

if u re in d mood to get angry, carry ya leg ya sef, to youtube and look for davidos new videos. i dnt even wanna know their names, pls dnt tell me. 

he make the most fantastic beats, but i personally think hes rich enough to hire a song writer.. he shld do that asappp.

i love psquare but i think they use d same beat different songs, or the same song different beats... see as im catching confuse sef  (im confused)... 

but all their songs sound similar... alll abeg, i can confidently say i've listened to them all (or at least most).

ah.... tiwa savag is such a daring... i really wanna meet her 1 day, i think we'll be good friends (yes i famz alot thanks) 

pls watch this ife wa gbona vid  and tell me ur not impressed let me dash .......

im already eyeing that ghana-must-go filled with my all mothers ankara,  to see if theres something i cn turn into oleku for moi (im a thief like that)

well there's still hope for the future sha... there re still some kick ass talents out there, and i pray that God will take away some peoples auto-tuned bleat and all the noise will stop and Nigeria will be a better place, amen.

fake d.i.y

hi guys,
how are ya'll doing...
i donno whats wrong with me o.. but i knt seem to finish any post again..
my drafts will soon start complaining sef..

so yesterday i made a to-do list for today, nd instead of cooking like i ive been doing all week (another unfinished post :( ) i decided to dedicate today to d.i.ys and ankara and stuff like that.
soooooooo....
i sent my sister to get me my usual fabric glue (rubs hands in glee)
and guess what...
??????
IT WAS FAKEEEEEEEEEEE... yes u heard me, fake....

i didnt realise this until i was almost tru and i was wondering why nothing was drying completely and coming out messy :(
then it clicked...

1 ) it didnt smell right.. (i tot it waz my nose)
2) it felt wrong on my hands (i tot it was d ororo i used to 'cream' my body in the morning)

so thats how i ruined my beautiful ipad case and notebook

*tears!!!!*

(ipad case with the fake glue :( ruined)

i decided to drop the glue and i tried to redesign this top a carpenter obviously made for me...

no "tailor" will ever cut or make a top like this for anybody...

nobody deserves to wear this mess...

and after some cutting and tweaking and thinking and pulling of hair and all that... i turned it to.... *drumroll*\

(oh yes, i use closeup, thanks for noticing...)

at the end of the day sha.....

the notebook managed to come out well ....

muting...

hmmmn......
so my country people, how are you doing today??
i know u re fine... so lemmy start my gist.

so this week has been a very 'chilling week' for me.
ive been at home all week, me nd my siblings alone.. no fighting no noise, no dragging of hair and pulling of tooth.. (praise the lord)

so to keep my self busy, ive been cooking, nd cooking nd cooking nd d.i.ying (i obviously have too much time) and have been getting a lot of true compliments from my family ^_^
(tutorials nd pictures coming up soon)

so guess what disturbed this very wonderful atmosphere yesterday o....
yea u guesssed right
twitter + this video.

see the way fellow nigerians were vexing ehn... cos rick ross did not shoot his video in v.i and potray nigerian in a positive light.

i mean, iznt obalende(where i think this video was shot) part of lagos and nigeria, and are the pple in in not worthy of being in a video.

but trust some pple.. unless they re seeing booty and half naked girls. (awo oniranu)

some people are out of touch with reality and some are simply clueless... pls for those of you that do not know.

this is how a typical  nigerian ghetto looks like. (weather u like am abi u no like am.)

ok back to the main topic joor.
my mum decided to send me out today o.
to give her cloth to the tailor....
and let me save u the funny details of my journey there...
when i got there, i gave the cloth to the tailor and i asked to use her sewing machine while she went to lagos market to get some sewing supplies..

so ok, there was this girl in the shop too who was also learning how to sew under aunty bukky.
so while aunty bukky went out both of us were busy on the machine, me slim-fitting a cute top i stole from my mum (im a size 6, while my mum is a size 16 :( )
her, practising with scrap fabric, wazobia fm playing from the radio..
breeze blowing through the window, cars passing, no electricity... u know.. normal naija setting.

then SUDDENLY!!!!!! a song came up on wazobia f.m
 (see what i did with d capital letters..  lool. i needed to get ur attention cos u were already dozing off  ^__^)
what song u ask? bumbum by timaya...
loooool... u shld have heard the way the girl screamed. at me.. (like say na me sing d song)
"hear this rubbish song o.. idiot timaya, have u seen the video?"
"erm..."
i didnt even answer b4 she started talking again about the rubbish video...
omo... i jst kept quiet.

apparently the 50% of the lyrics of the song had "bumbum" in it and wazobia fm, trying to be a family friendly station tried to mute those parts. so the song went on like...

"im still at the £$%^, "£$%T%£ £$%%^%$ "
lool u gys think im crazy ? oya watch the video nd try to mute d "bumbum" and get  my point

do u get my point now?

ok.  after bumbum ended, oliver twist came up... i wanted to start dancing to until wazobia started muting again. i dnt even have strength to explain this 1.

we all know the part when d'banj went on a bumbum frenzy and was asking all of us to shake bumbum..

oh u dnt remember?

oya watch

my main focus now was on the girl.

she started asking me questions?

q1) sister?... genevieve and d'banj are they married now?

ans 1) huh? married ke! who told u they were getting married.

q1.b) ahhhh!!! so genevieve still never marry?? no b ring she dey wear?

ans1.b) *i dont know how to answer but i shake my head* no shes still not married.

qst2) why does d'banj like so many girls sef ??

ans2) (my country people pls help me ask this girl if i resemble d'banj o) ........ 

q3) me i dnt even like this video o? (yes she asked me this statement).

ans3) y?

q3b) didn't u see the devlish man at the end??

ans 3b) O_O

(she was referring to kanye west)

it was time for me to go home. i carried my slimfitted stolen tops, put in my bag and said bye-bye

now ehn, up to this point im confused.
i dnt have a conclusion.
i dnt have a moral lesson either.
is social media affecting Nigeria positively or negatively
or the lack of it..
or the portraying of wrong information.
i dnt even know if this is the question i should be asking..
but well that was the highlight of my day... nd i jst thought i should share.
u can now wake-up. im done with my cool stories.



sorry for the plenty question marks, we Nigerian people ask too many questions. even our statements are questions pls dnt mind me.

(sorry bout my inaccurate tenses.. this post was written in 2 different weeks. waz jst too lazy to post.)
