Hmmm…

My people, na so I see my celebrity crushes…

Na so I stand at attention

Na so my mouth no gree move

Na so I just dey look

Chai!

My brain no even boot to take picture…

Na so I dull!


Ha-ha!
I wrote this poem on the spur of writing this post.
I should actually give you the gist…


Scene 1

I needed to use the ATM, so, I decided to go the nearest one around my office, I said to myself ‘this won’t take time, no need to carry phone’, that’s how I left my phone in the office oh.

I got to the ATM, there were a couple of people, so I joined the queue, that’s how a black jeep rolled into the parking lot.

Enter Nathaniel Bassey…

I opened my eyes with surprise, (if you read my posts, you know Nathaniel is BAE!) and began to wonder why no one was screaming and acting all giddy.

‘Is the ATM working’ he asked. ME!!! He spoke to ME!!! I couldn’t even answer I just shook my head because I was too mesmerised.

God bless you, I am your number one fan, please place your hand on my head, I love you… These were the things I wanted to say but my mouth and brain weren’t just cooperating.

Sigh…

And then he walked away.

That’s how I didn’t speak to him, or even make a memory of the day with a picture. Sigh.

At least I have a blog, I’ll write it here. Lol.


Scene 2

TyBello was speaking at an event I attended.

It was a small event, yes, the cream-de-la-crème

I said to myself ‘I’ll make sure I ask a question, I’ll make sure I have a chat with her, I’ll make sure she notices me’…

In the twinkle of an eye, she was done with her session.

She didn’t ask for questions, she just dropped mic and signaled to her team – they needed to move.

I was still in shock; I literally couldn’t move.

Then my siblings say, ‘let’s go take picture with her’

I replied ‘what if she gives us ela? Plus, I am shy jor’

They went, took the picture, and she was gone.

Sigh…again…



That’s how I dulled two times, if only I was bold!

Well, this post is to inspire you; don’t be shy, be bold!

Next time, I won’t dull!

Short story type of day

By
I wrote this while I was in church (please don't judge me , it just popped in my mind and I began to write) She felt something slowly tickle her face, she ignored it the first and second time, then it began to move more rapidly than before. She woke up in a startle, disoriented and wondered what could have been causing this, it felt like it was on her face, she touched her face and it was wet, 'what's this?' she asked herself because it was dark. She quickly jumped up and flicked the switch on.. She screamed when she saw it was blood! The small dark spot on her pillow and on her nightie (when she sat up) were both evidence that she was bleeding from her nose. 'No, no not again' she cried. 'This can't be happening again' she said! Then she quickly remembered she was to tilt her head up whenever her nose began to bleed, she tilted her head and waited a couple of minutes but it didn't stop. She began to panic because she was loosin...

The Halo Effect

By
Are you exhibiting the halo effect? Do you buy products because of the celebrity representing it? Or stay in a relationship that is wrong because of one good quality? We are all attracted to people all the time. What attracts us to others? And what attracts you? When you meet someone for the first time you draw a conclusion about them, subconsciously you decide whether you like them or not. BUT is it possible that one trait or aspect of one's character can influence your perception about them? Honestly, I judge a person's character based on their physical appearance, its a quick judgment that is very likely inaccurate. The good thing is that once I begin to have a conversation, I realize there's more to the person than just physical looks. (Well that's for those that are actually more than their looks). The halo effect can cloud our judgment even when we know about it. When one good quality spills its appeal unto other elements of a per...

Hello. Hi. Howdy. Don't get it twisted that I have never boarded a BRT before oh; it my utmost believe that the second surest way to fly is by BRT, well after okada or bike.
