Straight outta the theatre...

 

Happy birthday Pritei and Ola Dwaye, I hope the universe brings both of you together someday but that's if Ola ends the comic affair he advertised to us recently. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone)

Hello everyone and welcome to my blogpost for today. The weekend is here and it’s time to hit the reset button. As much as I had stuff I planned to share today, the heart is willing but the body cannot can, you know why? 

That horrible looking mass that was protruding out of my left eye had to be taken off and I just got out of the theatre… So, with one eye, I'll try to write something to keep you busy for two to three minutes and also to keep up this 365 days challenge.

I was going to write about Pritei and Ola Dwane today. I actually feel both of them should get married, one is a French Yoruba demon and the other is a militant from Naija Delta. Two open minded miscreants if you ask me, they’d gel along but how do I make that happen?

Let me just wish them happy birthday and move on because Ola moved to Burundi recently and a week after he arrived at Bujumbura, he sent us pictures of his engagement to a Burundian lady, so my friend meant he fell in love within a week and decided to marry the lady? Haba na…

For Pritei lol, she was my colleague and you know one of those square pegs in round holes? Put her in that kinda basket because she didn’t even want to be a part of us. She’s like a carpenter that was sent to work in a surgical room, be careful of the tools she passes on to the Surgeon.

Pritei is an active human, don't put her behind a laptop, she wants to be on the field, say a construction site or pornhub, she's not interested in the big grammar, she's extremely creative and she likes to try new things, she likes old school music and vintage ideas...

Pritei is like a brother to me, a Gee by all standards even though she tries to wear some feminine nature sometimes, sorry sis, it didn’t fit you every time you tried, remain a Gee and own it with your chest. Pritei is that “guy” you need to have in your corner, thank me later.

Do I miss Pritei? Certainly. Will I tell her? God forbid bad thing, let’s keep the energy the way it is, she didn’t tell me when she was leaving and we had a conversation she bailed on, she should get lost abeg and for Ola Dwayne, lol lemme just not bother.

I have to stop here because as you can see, I’m not doing justice to the eulogy of these guys. Two amazing individuals that have affected me in sweet ways, Ola gave me a referral for a side hustle that stood in the gap for me for a solid period, I will never forget that.

Lemme go, we do this again when these stitches are off. For me to do this today shows I’m well and truly committed to this cause. Have me in your prayers as the healing process begins…

17th May, 2023 - My darkest hours

Image
One year after her passing, nothing has changed, I still feel pains and, I still have a lot of unanswered questions but, Valar Morghulis - All men must die. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) Yea, it's been one year already, and nothing has changed. I still feel as much pain as I did exactly one year ago, when the darkest of clouds usurped me. When the earth received my mother's body, it still hurts. I’ve tried many times to do this, but it is what it is. What a year it has been. There was no inkling before it happened, so there is no benchmark. However, it’s a different kind of pain, one I don’t wish on anyone. The 17th of May 2023 will forever remain where it is; hopefully, it remains the darkest ever until my dying day. The mood was obvious; Deepsea could tell in the car. Joy sent me a text message to lift my spirits, but calls from Ibadan informed me that my mom was on her way to the hospital. It didn’t take long for me to realize it wasn’t her usual attention-seeking dr...

If her name is Precious, you're single

People will leave you wondering if you're abnormal, omo iya mi, ma fo, na dem be the problem not you. Oya stay jiggy make we enter road. (Photo credit: Google)   “When you’re losing a tug of war to a tiger, release the rope before it gets to your arm; you can always get another rope, of course, except if you want prosthetics; you don’t want another arm.” - Ancient Chinese proverb remixed by Rambo. 2023 taught me a lot, and one of them is this: “If that person looks too good to be true, don’t force it; the person is certainly a fraud." And this rings true for everything. Whether living or non-living, don’t force it; it’s too good to be true. I was going to write about Precious, but I realized it’s a waste of time. Someone would text or call to tell me I’m pained, and it would get me emotional. I’d rather leave it as it is and sweep it under the rug like I always do. No worries on this one. Lesson number 1 from 2023: Tomorrow isn’t promised! See, a day before my mother passed...

Panda's wife and the memories of Tinubu Road

  Happy birthday beautiful and uber-smart Toyin Adepegba, my good friend from Tinubu Road. (Photo credit: Toyin's WhatsApp status) Toyin Adepegba is 40 today, today is also my parents’ wedding anniversary and it evokes some nostalgia from way back. I remember how they celebrated one particular year, that shit made me start thinking of getting married at just 10… Look at me now LOL. This post is about Toyin, a great human by all standards. She was my first friend at Brand Regimen, she knows her job and has this drive that won’t let her settle for anything below her standards. Let me share a few things I copped from here during our days as colleagues. Toyin was the Business Development Manager at BR and later had to fill in when there was a gap on one of the Account Management Team, one measure of her success in that role as far as I saw was how good Joy became as her protégé, that counts for a lot. While I was the lead on decks and strategy plans, Toyin offered solid outlets o...
