My Dirty Boxers

  Communication is key, most people need to know this before rushing into relationships. (Photo credit: Google) It’s my sisters’ birthday today but nope, I am not writing about them. I didn’t come to this world to serve those girls; I have written about them on this space about four times already. Happy birthday dearies, have fun and God bless you and your respective homes. That’s where it stops. I started something yesterday and adjourned to continue today. I had a conversation with Ebere and she was lamenting about her relationship struggles. She mentioned a few things that struck cords but I’ll dwell on just one of them and that is the phenomenon called COMMUNICATION. Personally, I understand the place of communication and its dynamics of it. I also understand that it’s okay not to be interested in talking at certain points but the non-verbal ones ruin things more than the noisy ones but most people don’t know this. I digress. One thing I know a lot of people struggle with...

  How can someone eat this? How do you people come up with devilish food combinations? I need answers. (Photo credit: Google) Hey people, good to have you here again today. I’ve been on the phone with Ebere for about an hour now and she’s ranting to me about how unhappy she is. Relationship issues will make the best of people cry but I’m not writing about that today. I mentioned unusual food combinations yesterday and it brings back memories of my days at BR. We had an “idea farm” session where we bantered about several ideas and then we plug them into brands that fit. I didn’t expect how this particular one turned out LOL. We mulled over a series of ideas as shared by a couple of people and then I asked casually, “what can we do around the nonsense combinations people conjure all in the name of food creativity?” and boom! Toyin jumped on it, KDS bought into it and the rest is history. Do you know that some people eat yam and rice? Noodles and beans? Okro on rice? Egusi on a ...

  Jane thought she was on the right track to earning free millions until Special Agent Rambo helped out. (Photo credit: Google) There’s no time I talk to Ebere that I don’t remember the ill-fated money-doubling scheme called MMM that year. My conversation this morning on my way to work with a former colleague that was about to be scammed before Special Agent Rambo stepped in brought this to mind. Jane and I worked in the same agency about eight years ago, she was one hell of a smart lady then; a proven copywriter that also doubled as a rich media manager, social media wasn’t all that then but she was one of the earlier frontiers. A contact she met on Twitter introduced a scheme to her and it looked so believable as she was making money without personal investment. She didn’t tell me but I’ll bet my life there’s more between them than “hello how are you” but that isn’t why I’m writing today. The contact (male of course) talked her into a scheme that doubles investment on the s...
