Mixed emotions but Big Brother Naija is calling...

 

Let me know what you think of Lush Hair's games and tasks in the Big Brother Naija house today. (Photo credit: Riquesa Africa)

It’s an emotional day and I have to crave your indulgence to push the sequel to my first ever silent disco party till tomorrow. You don’t want to be me right now, just understand with me that I have you in mind and I’m honestly not playing mind games.

Yo! I’m sure the show would be well underway or even over by the time most of you would be reading this but find time to watch Big Brother Naija today; It’s really crazy out here and everything is happening way too fast but hey, we don’t sit here to do easy things.

I was trying to chin up at a presentation earlier today when it hit me that yet another childhood hero, Roger Federer has called it quit. I understand many see Rafael Nadal as the greatest ever based on number of grand slam victories and Novak Djokovic based on his fierceness but for me, my male tennis GOAT is Roger Federer.

I am an avid sports lover, my incurable affection with Arsenal is well documented and in other news, I love basketball, lawn tennis and motor sport; Serena Williams remains my GOAT in the female category of tennis while Roger Federer is the male counterpart… I digress.

Today came with mixed emotions at my presentation; you know how strong your chances are even before you project your slides of course, except you’re living in denial. I knew my creative expressions weren’t enough and that wasn’t completely in my hands but if there’s anyone that would throw hands in the air and take the blame, I’m not Akon but put it all on me.

Good thing is, I have another chance to impress and I swear to make it count. On other grounds, some parts of the presentation drew applause and I will take that in my strides while focusing on humility to fix the part that didn’t impress. We move… right?

I have to go now, big brother Naija is calling.

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...
