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.

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

Image
  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...
