My first ever silent disco experience...

 

Silent disco is fun, I've been a quite a number of them but my first experience was a better forgotten one. (Photo credit: Pinterest) 

Desperados’ silent disco party comes up on the beach this Friday and it reminds me of my first ever silent disco; it was one hell of a night, I started and ended a relationship that day.

Titi had started posting a certain guy on her status then, I knew we were over but I was still living in denial like someone who’s Bet9ja ticket has caught fire but he’s thinking he didn’t pick certain teams, we’ve all been there, right? I was looking to have someone to post too to get back at her.

I was on a iRepublic gig with Prestige that year, this fine coke-bottle-body girl was in my DM; she was a law student at Unilag, she knew someone I was friends with then so, it was easy for us to get along. One thing led to the other and we had to get to meet.

She told me about a silent party event at 1004 and it was a no-brainer. I wish I had time to think about it twice but when the devil is on the beat, even the senior pastor will dance if he “loose-guard”. Remember, the head that will suffer knocks will not go “un-knocked” even if it’s on bowler hat.

My office was on College Road Ogba, Hillary offered to come pick me from her Magodo house and it all felt like heaven. It was our first ever date, it was a case of “let’s get to see, evaluate each other before we start dating officially” so, I was on my Paco Rabanne and new pair of shoes.

We spend some quality time cuddling on my reception couch. Right there and then, we started dating LOL; I rushed my deliverables and we went to Mega Chicken to grab something to eat, while time a bit before heading to the island for the silent disco.

We left Ikeja around 7pm. Police stopped us twice and, on both occasions, I had to run them some “change” as she was driving without drivers’ license and she insists no one else will drive her car. We had flat tire on third mainland bridge, it took an hour for us to sort it at a cost of course… I should have known.

We finally got to the venue on the wrong side of 9pm. We spent an hour at the car park waiting for someone to get us in; I didn’t feel the waiting period because we were all cuddled up in the car, I had enough time to rethink my life and carry my one and half legs out of that situation but again… Coconut head…

To be continued…

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...
