My top three hangout spots in Lagos...

 

Farm City Ogudu is my safe place, where do you hangout? (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone)

There’s a way I feel today so, I’ll do something different in this space and I hope you’ll align with me or better still, tell me what you think of my personal preferences and give me your own based on the three grounds I’ll be playing on.

This is like a peace offering, I understand many of you are angry that I called out your king (Laycon) the other day LOL. I thought we said we should encourage folks to speak their minds without inhibitions. So, why are people dragging me because I questioned Laycon’s claims?

Anyways, I will tell you my top three restaurants in Lagos and you’re allowed to agree or disagree. Also note, this isn’t paid advert. Like I said earlier, I feel some type of way Lol and I can’t explain why. Maybe because I just got back from an interesting meeting where my father’s preferred brand was on the table or because I’m wearing agbada LOL… I really don’t know.

Number 3 will be 724 right beside New Fela Shrine and I know that’s weird. I don’t smoke and for how much of an alcoholic people (Sandra) think I am, I don’t drink half as much as Dipo Ogun, Seye Akinboade, and Bright Sorgwe; why then do I like a spot that is closer to hell than heaven?

Truth be told, I have no major reason but I am not judgmental. I like the local feeling and safety that comes with being around the shrine even if it’s a hell of an irony. My fav brands are always available and while I don’t like the guys that come to hype you for 2H and all, it’s a place I won’t say no to ever!

The second-placed hangout spot/restaurant for me has to be Hard Rock Café. If I’m on the island and it’s not work-related, it’s always Hard Rock Café and in a way, they always have Desperados for the day I don’t want my card under siege.  Should spend my Saturday night there…

My number one hangout spot is Farm City Ogudu. Proximity and comfort zone? Yes please, and you’re allowed to drop yours. Farm City Ogudu is my rendezvous, more like my second home and everything I want is available… I was going to say something but I won’t LOL.

I considered squeezing in La Cibo but it’s fourth on my list. Elevens in Ikeja, Rhapsody is now the official hangout spot for agency guys LOL and Southern Sun is that place I enjoy sitting when I want to feel like “Senior Man’… Get used to this phrase, it will come around soon.

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

One careless night

The antelope is badly wounded right in front of the hunter, it can live again, only if the guardian angel smiles again... (Photo credit: Geo Wild) I randomly remember how my mom forced Mount Zion movies on me that year, but after the incident of the other day, one famous movie of those folks rings true in my head. One careless night. Just so we’re clear, no matter how hard you try, you’ll never understand this post; it’s a personal rant that will chronicle several events, and, while I am putting this in the public space, I still advise you to stop reading from this point. Omo! These are the days I prayed against, but it is what it is. I remember that beautiful Sunday. The indecision at first nearly ruined the script, but I saw the value of resilience. I remember the jokes about the green dress that looks like a 2-Sure promoter uniform. LOL, the aura was special though. It’s been a long time; something was off, and despite P.O. ringing in my ears, I still ran into the ditch. It was e

One hellish year and my one and half legs

This has been like a home recently but, the goal is to get stronger when it gets tougher. I'm fighting to win. (Photo credit: Ramsey's iPhone) I remember promising Bukky (formerly the Peridot of BR, now the Peridot of UK) that I'd write a lot this month; it definitely won’t be every day like I did last year, but I’ll try, and here you go. To start with, it’s been a tough year by all standards. Not sure there’s ever a year in which I felt half as much physical pain as this year; 2019 had the inglorious award until 2023 pulled up, and here’s me hoping I’ll never have to see a more painful year than this one. The past three weeks have been the toughest. I spent more days with the physiotherapists than at work, but I am probably the strongest human I know. I am not giving up anytime soon, but the pains better ease up before I do something crazy. Yesterday was the International Day of People Living with Disabilities. It should be a public holiday, but while I wasn’t physicall
