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!

End It?

By
I love the series 'How To Get Away With Murder' not necessarily because of its name or its characters or storyline but because I love very good series scripts and the above is definitely on my top ten list. I'm not about to rave about the series, lol, (you can go online, download it or go to the nearest DVD retail outlet and 'grab your copy now') but to talk about the advice Annalise Keating (played by Viola Davis) gave to Nate's Wife - Nia Lahey (who is dying of ovarian cancer in the show) Here's an excerpt from the episode: Nia: I want you to end it Annalise: I'm sorry? Nia: I want you to kill me Then after so much consideration and guilty conscience, here is how it went down: Annalise: I think about it a lot; killing myself, I have ever since I was a child, lot of times I think the world would be a much better place without me in it, but I don't do it. You are a better woman than me, and if I don't deserve to die then you definitel...

Part 2

If you missed Part 1, here is the link: http://theinspiredcutiee.blogspot.com.ng/2015/10/part-1.html#more Part 2: Habit A habit is something done repeatedly sometimes sometimes unconsciously. 40% of everything we do is done merely from habit. Experts say that a habit can be broken or formed in 30 days. I have bad habits, (cell phone addiction, PROCRASTINATION) some I don't even know how I'll be if I stop,(watching too much series) some I have stopped, (I used to suck my lower lip) and I'm sure you too have some habits that are bad. No judgment, habits form us, its when they are bad that it becomes a problem. Breaking a habit can seem overwhelming, especially when you have more than one. Choose a single habit and work on that until you are victorious before you pick up another one. Lemme share a classic example, I began to exercise daily few weeks ago, normal body pains are expected, but me I stopped.  I couldn't deal. On Saturday 24th October I ...

Part 1

By
In one of his songs, Nathaniel Bassey described Zechariah 4:6 (Not by power, not by might, but by my Spirit; saith the Lord) as thus; So many of us have tried to fight addiction in the flesh, you've tried to stop that habit, you've tried to get out of that relationship, you've tried to break through, you've tried will power BUT its not by power not by might but by my Sprit saith the Lord. Hence the kick off of the series, (they don't follow each other in the traditional sense of series, think of it like American Horror Story Series) Part 1: ADDICTION Dictionary dot com defines it as the state of being enslaved to a habit, or practice or to something that is physiologically or physical habit-forming as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. A couple of months back, my brother and I were arguing over 'habit' 'addiction' and 'obsession', which comes first?, which is difficult to break? and so much more. Can...
