Time to tick...

Just like a vision flashed before the very eyes of a man...

2009 takes its space in the world of history...

Just like all other past years... It gradually fades off... never to return...

In less than 12 hours... we will all witness the advent of another year...

Another vision?

Another mission?
Or probably a carry over of the one before?

As it ticks off...reminisce

As it's not yet over until it's over..

Naija Men and Traditional Norms

... Is the future making sense?

Some ladies call this love with no bounds, unconditional love!

See how life is treating men. I'm sure some ladies won't mind all men being like this!

I wonder if this is love, madness, slavery or evil machination? May this never be our portion.

I hear the men say a loud AMEN!!!

Peeps on blogsville, I nearly got my rosy cheeks slapped this morning because of this picture and the message right beside it. How e take happen? Where e take happen? I go yarn una make una chill…lol

This picture and message started its journey of circulation this morning in my office o and it raised so many unpleasant comments from the guys or rather a large percent of the guys.

“Why would I do dishes and tie my own child on my back? Na jazz?!”…One guy said.

“God forbid, the woman must have washed kurukurru from her private part into the guy’s soup! Afiam!!” Another mumu guy chirped in.

“Ha!!!! If Na me, my mama go don come from village come organize serious deliverance for me” (Indeed dumb skull! Mchew!!!)

And bladibladibla…na so they raked on and on and won’t stop o.

Ewoooooooooooooo! I just can’t believe!!! So guys in this present age can open their rotten mouth and talk like this? When will unnecessary pride and ego end in these naija men’s lives? When will they open their eyes and just see some things and just wake up from traditional slumber?
And we go talk sey we read book and we wan better pass our papas, grand and great grand papas!!!!

Why some of them go school self? Why not sit in the village and keep up with the maintenance of the family farm? Mchewwww!

It got to a stage where I cum put my own join and that was when serious katakata burst and some guy nearly slap my face. What I said shey? Okay I said bobos wait o, but you don’t have to tie the baby on your backs now, you can just strap it with a Baby Strap in front of you and embrace it warmly and that was when the argument transcend to another level entirely.

“Sassy, shut up and stop staying rubbish! Why would I strap my child in front of me when I’m not a kangaroo? Only kangaroos are designed to do that. My wife won’t even dare strap my own baby like that in front of her chest, she have to tie him properly at her back the traditional way. This is not yankee, this is African!” “That is why this days’ kids are so daft… my mother tied me on her back, she no strap me with baby strap.” (Story!)

Oooooooooooooooo…… okay oooo! Na so all the ladies for our office –it’s a pity they are just few of us – started serious wahala with our bobos dem o.

Eweee! Na so I talk ooo. Abi people, wetin una go talk? I’m so dazed and pissed off at the same time.

These are the same guys that embrace modern norms like hugging a fellow female colleague and giving them a peck on both sides of their cheeks as a mode of greetings (How dem no go like that one?! Guinea fowls!!!) Na that kain tradition dem fit inculcate from the western world ba? But to strap dem own pikin for front na big deal and dem wife too must not do that 'cos according to their newly made theory "Strapping a baby on your chest will automatically turn the baby to a mumu, Babies should be tied to their Mother's back"… goddam moda f**kers!

Shey na working class woman go dey carry iro and oja about abi?
One was even like that is against the Yoruba tradition! Biko abeg make we see road. Chei!!!

How una dey jare?

Good Bye to Talk Show.. Tyra Banks

After five seasons, two Daytime Emmy awards and too many girl-power episodes to count, Tyra Banks is announcing the end of "The Tyra Show."

"This will be the last season of The Tyra Show," Banks tells PEOPLE exclusively. "I've been loving having fun, coming into your living rooms, bedrooms, hair salons for the past 5 years."
Wrapping at the end of its fifth season in the spring of 2010, it will be lights out for the show that brought viewers memorable weave-exposing, cellulite-revealing and tear-jerking moments.

Bank will focus on the launch of Bankable Studios, a N.Y.-based film production company currently reviewing possible projects. Sticking to her mission, Banks aims to bring "positive images of women to the big screen," says an industry insider.

"My next huge steps will allow me to reach more women and young girls to help us all feel as fierce as we truly are," Banks says.
Adds the insider: "Tyra is sad because she'll be missing so much of the daily connection to her viewers, but excited at the same time to be taking on a new challenge."

With encouragement from filmmaker Tyler Perry and longtime mentor Oprah Winfrey, Banks is "redefining beauty for women in film," adds the source. "With Oprah's big announcement this year, I think that gave Tyra the confidence to get out there and follow her longtime dream of film producing."

But fashion fiends worry not. "America's Next Top Model" is slated to return for its 15th season in February along with Banks's ABC show "True Beauty."

"There's a lot cooking right now and a lot of fire burning in my heart," Banks writes in an open letter on her Web site. "And I salute you my amazing family of viewers; without you there never would have been a Tyra Show. I really love you all."

UMAR FAROUK ABDULMUTALLAB charged... + RIP Maryam Babangida

The Nigerian man who tried to blow up a Northwest Airlines flight travelling to Detroit from Amsterdam on Christmas Day has been formally charged.

Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was charged with attempting to destroy the aircraft with an explosive that was attached to his body.

US media have cited unnamed security officials as saying that the suspect has confessed that Al-Qaeda operatives in Yemen trained him for the mission.

They say the suspect told them the attack was planned in Yemen by Al Qaeda members. They sewed an explosive device into his underwear. And told him to blow up the plane as it approached Detroit so that it would produce more casualties and collateral damage on the ground if it crashed into a densely populated area.

As investigations continue, British police have searched addresses in London, including an upscale mansion flat where the suspect is believed to have lived while studying in the city. He was said to be a student of mechanical engineering at University College London between 2005 and 2008.

RIP MARYAM BABANGIDA

Former First Lady and founder of the Better Life for Rural Women,

Mrs. Maryam Babangida, is dead.She died at City Hope Hospital, California, United States of America, at 12 noon Nigerian local time, with her husband of over three decades, General Ibrahim Babangida, beside her sick bed.

Maryam, 61, who celebrated her last birthday on her sick bed on November 1, in the American Hospital, battled with Ovarian Cancer before she lost the out yesterday, after three months in the hospital.

May her soul R.I.P

I Love you all...

Ouch!!!
And here comes 2010 with such a strong force that makes me shiverr... arghhhhh!!!
To be candid 2009 had meant a lot to different people... and here it is.. melting before our very eyes leaving behind what I can as well AN HISTORY and A PAST.

We may as well forget so soon that 2009 had buried behind so many dreams, raised false hopes and aspirations and left many on the peak of regret, pain and loss.

But there is this word I love so much... that has transformed me and changed so many things about my state of mind and how I reason. That word is HOPE....

And that is what I will love to give as we all move into the New year...

*Hope enough to achieve the extra ordinary
*Hope enough to love and be loved

2face's New Status

Award Winning Naija Musician, 2Face Idibia is on the face of the news again, the scandals which has been plaguing his love life seems unending. The news in town is that 2Face has parted ways with his “two most visible mistresses”; Sumbo Ajaba and Pero Adeniyi, who had two children each for him.

According to source, 2Face gave Sumbo Ajaba who works with a second generation bank in Naija the boot on Saturday 15th august 2009, while on vacation with her.

Pero Adeniyi is presently in the US, and one of the reasons she is said to have travelled to the US may be to reconcile with her ex-husband, whom she had a child for before she met 2Face.

2Face booting out his two mistresses seems to be based on the advice he has been receiving lately, that his sexual exploits will ruin his life and music career.

Is 2Face trying to redeem his image by doing away with the women in his life to his dwindling career.

The issue of him impregnating this and that has brought him so much trouble and bad name. May be that is the best thing to do anyway...

Sources inform that the excited lovebirds have the approval of adas lawyer mum and excited talks are already on for the wedding plans which might be sooner than expected.

Sources also inform that adaezes ex lover kevin has gotten wind of this new plans and is very upset about it as he had invested a lot of money on the ex-queen.

Hear the sources''it was a dramatic proposal at heathrow airport on wednesday september 2,2009 as the deputy captain of Nigeria's Super Eagles and top defender of Everton went down on his knees at the airport and asked adaeze to marry him. the excited but shocked ex- queen allowed him slip the ring on her finger and agreed to marry him with tears running down her cheeks.

Adaeze has been telling all her friends about the good news and her mum is so excited''.

The lovebirds had been together in yobos liverpool house for three weeks before ada left for school.

Long before their romance hit the newstand,''ada had confirmed to close sources that yobo was her dream man and that her love had tamed his roving eyes''.

The ex beauty queen is spotting a diamond engagmeent ring rumoured to be worth a lot of pound sterlings.
Congrats to both,heres hoping their union fulfils them!

The One I call MAN

Thou hath been created to be reverenced and honored
Thou hath been created to be a Lord in thy terrain and upon thy Land
Thou hath been build up to stand firm and be a shadow that covers and protect many
Thou hath been formed to be looked unto and to be A shield to so many…
That is HE that I call MAN

Though you are not a god ‘cos you’re still Human
You are not exempted from those who make mistakes
You are not permitted to Lord it over me – a weaker vessel
In all your glory and majesty – You are to love me and cherish me
That is HE that I call MAN

Your weaknesses… I know
Your grieve… I perceive
Your fears and trials… I bear secretly with you
But I’m I to share with the world O’ MAN?

Nay…..
I will hide from the world that which I know as your weaknesses
I will cover and take it upon me to nurture and polish so it can be your strength O’MAN
I will grieve with you even though it’s done in fear O’MAN
‘Cause your sleepless nights and your unshed tears I can feel with panic in my soul O’MAN

And for your fears? They are my fears O’MAN
They are the unseen chords that binds us in dry bitter twist My MAN
They tear through our skin…deep into our tones of flesh and they cause us so many pains O’MAN
Yet… they are our fears and our unknown tomorrow….
They are our stepping stones to a brighter future O’MAN

Our trials are our triumphs O’MAN
They will make us soar higher than the Eagle My MAN
They are our victory over shame O’MAN
They are permitted ‘cos they can only give us hints to a glorious future.

So I won’t….. My MAN
I won’t stand back to watch the World mock you…
‘Cos you are to be honored and to be greatly revered
I won’t stand to watch the World giggle behind your back
I will turn the other way and tell of your good sides they don’t know

‘Cos you were never born perfect My MAN…
And I aint looking for a Perfect MAN either
But he that will complement my weakness with His strength and my strength with his weakness
You are the one I call MAN
And MAN you will ever be to me - WOMAN

Eight years on... (In memory of all victims of the September 11 2001's US terrorist attacks)

ST is dedicating this post to the Loving memory of all the Innocent souls who were unfortunate victims of the September 11 2001 series of terrorist attacks which destroyed the twin towers of the World Trade Center and severely damaged the Pentagon hereby claiming lives of Thousands.

May their Sweet soul Rest In Peace.

DBANJ SPORTED WITH THE WRONG KOKOLET AT THE MOHITS CONCERT

What is going on you might as well hear me say?
Where is Miss Kokolet 2009 (Miss Bolanle Ikhiria)who ofcourse should be dbanj's official escort for the next one year.
Story has it that D'banj was seen recently in the company of Isimunirat Airewele.(the lady from the netherlands who was sent into the kokomansion to stir up the housemates).

Tatafoos whisper that Isi is the unofficial handbag that is stirring trouble in the crooners heart while others claim that the crooner is only trying to act as her claim to fame.
Whatever the reason is,they should take Bolanle along next time,she is afterall the offical escort for one year.

For your info, Isi has also joined the face of sleek compettion 2009.

Sassy's "Never Rules"

Howdy do Blogsville...

See what I have become on a Monday morning ooo, was just getting rid of the junks on my disk drive when I saw so many copies of the "Works of my hands"..lol. I have never been a counsellor ooo and I'm not looking forward to being one either, but I think I should share this 'cos I believe it would help someone out there. They are just tips for you and ofcourse guys can learn from this too. Thinking of creating another label maybe I go call that one "Sassy Counsel"...lol

NEVER ASSUME EVERYTHING IS OKAY

Okay, probably he has changed like a chameleon within minutes! Never you assume things are okay. Men are more like books with pages that needs to be studied thoroughly! You should be able to know your man to an extent that you can clearly decode every twist of his face and can even predict his action before he takes them.

That’s how simple they are… now see me talking like a pro…lol

But to be candid, that is the fact.

If he tells you lies, you must know, if he sleeps outside, thou must know as well.. just stare into those eyes and you will see so many things he is not saying and so many secrets he is not telling so start searching for evidence….lol (No follow me ooo)

And if you sense trouble and decide to keep mum, you are on your own.

Bottom line, “Don’t ever assume everything is okay”

NEVER THINK OF MOVING IN JUST YET

We all are guilty of this right?

Oh yeah he said he loves me, he said he can’t just think of living without me, he said this… he said that… Thou fool!

Men like it easy you know, they so like life easy and if they can scale through the hurdles of procedures, they won’t mind.

You better make him responsible ‘cos only you have the power to.

But really if you want to keep doing the occasionally sleep over’s, occasionally free fucks, free laundry, free meals and dishes and free “so many other things” in spite of seeing tale tell signs it’s not getting you anyway, when issue starts to rise, don’t complain!

NEVER THINK SO MUCH OF HIM FOOTING THE BILL

I use to wonder why we ladies are never satisfied with anything.

We want more of it all abi I lie... (More sex, More money, More TLC, More magas and Aristos, probably more toasters and more wahala) Don’t even deny that!

It is not our fault really, it is just the nature we are formed in.

But where the wahala comes from, is looking unto him and making him look like the Mr.Jehovah Jireh like without him supplying your needs in his riches in glory, yu won't breathe…

NEVER TELL EVERYTHING TO GURLFRENDS

If you want no listen o.

NEVER SAY EVERYTHING ON FACEBOOK

I don’t know what you may think of this and I’m not interested in what you may think either.

One thing is sure, Facebook has been more like an hidden disaster in the relationships of so many ignorant victims and so are other online sites too.

One just have to be very careful and watch it.

NEVER EVER THINK YOU KNOW HIM TOO WELL

Looks like he told you everything about him shey? Okay ooo… swallow it hook, line and sinker and don’t verify ooo….

Men are quite funny and believe me by the time you see the real him, you will definitely not like what you see cause you have fallen in love with the fake him.

NEVER TELL HIM EVERYTHING

Code and decode…. Don’t get me twisted up in this...

NEVER TAKE YOUR LOOKS FOR GRANTED

I think I really need to do more on this…lol

If you think sey you fine, another babe fine pass you o..infact let me site my working place as an example… by the time wowo babes baff up for you ehn.. you go dey look and drool even as a lady ooo…damn!

Tush up girlfriend, tighten the tighten-able’s’… tone the tone-able's', push up the push up-able's'… ko si arugbo ni Ghana oo.

If in places like Abuja, 60 year old women like Senator Ita – giwa are listed as the top ‘most sexy’ babes… yeah right..quote me ..’MOST SEXY BABES’… then werrin twenties like we dey look biko?

Make him spend that money even if he spends a quarter on other babes, let him spend more than half on you. No more dry stories like “I no get money” abeg, if he no wan spend am other guys would ooo so you better do him the favor of making him spend it. Oh yeah it is a favor!

LMAO!!!

No biffing ooo, just tell me what you 'al think.

Enjoy your day

Luv you all loads.

Monsurat Omidina a.k.a. Moladun was said to have been found slumped with blood coming out from her mouth and nostril in her room at their Omidina's Home in Ikorodu area of Lagos.

Information we gathered after the rumour of her dead has it that, her death has spiritual undertone as she was supposed to be at the UK Embassy in Lagos today for her traveling. Before now, some family members who confirmed the state of her hearlth told us that the mother of two had been feeling so dispirited for days now and that it was on this ground she wanted to travel for medical check up.

Enjoy this interview peeps...

She is young, brilliant, pretty and is making waves in the Nigerian movie industry. Olayinka Olukonga is a gold- hearted girl with a vision in the entertainment industry. You can’t miss her face when you watch Super Story, a soap opera by Wale Adenuga, and she is greatly admired by viewers and lovers of this programme.

She comes from Lagos State and also an under-graduate of Marketing in the University of Lagos. The charming Indian looking girl, who was used in the popular Visafone advert while celebrating her birthday, has launched a children’s foundation for the motherless and the underprivileged.

Acting
I started acting not quite long, but the roles I have played so far have brought me to limelight and it now seems I have been acting for ages.

Inspiration
I was not really inspired by anyone. The truth is that I have passion for entertainment. I love affecting lives positively.

Role model
There are just few actresses that I appreciate much. By the grace of God, am looking forward to be like Joke Sylvia, Kate Henshaw and Stephanie Okereke. I even hope to do better than them.

Profession
Acting is a rewarding profession but it requires patience, endurance, tolerance and prayers. Without God’s connection, it may be difficult for one to make it. It also requires one to put in her best. It is not what one can do non-challantly.

Love roles
I can play a love role if it’s what I am given to act. I can do it but not excessively like most of the actresses. You can play a love role without actually doing it. That is how I do my things.

First time on stage
My first time on stage was not easy, but since I have determined to make, I persevered and today I thank God for my success so far.

Aside acting
As I told you, am still in school. I don’t want my attention to be divided but all the same, I set up a foundation for the underprivileged children. I will be giving it much attention, then when I graduate I will face life squarely.

Works
I will just speak on my role as Nnenna in Super Story of Wale Adenuga production. It was a role I will not forget easily. I was killed by my father’s best friend who also killed my father just to inherit the family’s wealth. Then, because I did not die a natural death, I was coming out and met a boy whom I made my friend and through him I was communicating with my family. I started revealing his plans against my family to Akin and with that my mother and two brothers were not killed. It was really an interesting story.

Growing up
My growing up is a very interesting one. I have caring and loving parents who took time to bring me up in the fear of God. I grew up not knowing lack; I was properly taken care of because my parents believe that we are their responsibility so they tried so hard to provide for my siblings and I.

Background
I have a good background. I come from a family of four, and I am the first. My father is a disciplinarian and he made it compulsory that I must read. My parents are into business. My family is of average class and we have a happy home.

Uniqueness
I am unique in my own way. God gave me a cheerful dispossure. Nature made me to be smiling always and people note me for that easily.

Before acting
I have been modelling and doing little jobs here and there until two years ago when I went for auditioning at Wale Adenuga Productions where I got the role of Sunita on his popular soap opera, Papa Ajasco. Last year, they called me that they have a script for me, I collected it, read and then shot.

Exposure
Nnenna in Super Story gave me the most exposure. Since after playing that role people, both children and adults point at me anywhere I go. They express their love and likeness and they also encourage me.

Modeling for Visafone
Actually, the advert came out six months before Super Story. I had an agent, Domino who invited me to come for auditioning for Visafone advert. I went and I was eventually chosen.

Vision
In a couple of years I hope to achieve a lot in the entertainment industry. I know that my name will ring bell and I will go to places even outside the country. Most importantly, I will have a lot to do with children especially the underprivileged and the motherless who do not have anyone to encourage and give them faith and hope. This was why I set up a foundation as a means of inculcating in them the idea of believing in themselves and having a positive mindset.

Funding
It’s a gradual process; Rome was not built in a day. I know that it is not easy but with God all things are possible. This is why I am grateful to my parents who wholeheartedly are solidly behind me. I thank them for helping me actualize my dreams. I have not gone to anyone to solicit for fund. For now, I am just doing the whole thing. What I intend doing for now is that every children’s day, any money realized from Nnenna’s show will be given to the underprivileged and the motherless babies.

Challenges
There are a lot to manage, trying not to hurt people and trying to make things right. There is also a challenge of being restricted to go to places just because one is a public figure.

Memorable day
It was the day I launched my foundation, which was also my birthday.

Regrets
I don’t have regrets. Any negative thing that happens to me gives me an opportunity to learn and to prevent a recurrence.

Roles
I don’t accept all roles. If I get a script that requires nudity, then it’s not for me. I am in charge of my life. No one dictates what I should do.

Relationship
Well, I am not into a relationship now. I am still too young to think about that. When the time comes, I will consider having one.

Managing advances
There are not too many men that come but the ones that come I handle them my own way. What I have most are fans who call to appreciate me, encourage and express their love for me.

Why too many men don’t come to her
Forget about the person you see on television, I am too young to allow men ruin my career. Those that have conscience know that I am too young. Those without conscience come but they don’t succeed. I only maintain fans that mean good.

Sexual harassment
No, I have not experienced it and will never do.

Advice
In whatever you do, put in your best and allow God to do the rest. Have a positive mindset, appreciate people even when their best is not good enough and most importantly, look unto God.

Come Learn more on Investment...

Boobs flaunting actress, Cossy Orjiakor widely believed to be an epitome of indecency is not a moralist. But here, she’s counselling her teeming fans concerning the need for them to begin to invest their wealth in something that will prosper them in future.

Orjiakor is saying that investing in fixed asset pays more than anything else. And she’s therefore, stopping at nothing to acquire as many hectares of land as her money can buy for her in choice places in Abuja, Ikoyi and Lekki areas of Lagos.

Right now, the queen of boobs can boast of possessing varied plots of land in areas like Kuja, Maraba, all in Abuja, and of course, in Lekki, in Lagos. “I can’t tell how much I bought each of my property but, I have property in Lekki, and 12 plots of land in Kuja, Abuja as well as a plot of land at Maraba.” she said, in a text message she sent to a reliable source.

Orjiakor, whose alleged sex scandal with a dog in a movie has continued to take a toll on her personality said, while her property are not for sale, she cannot ascertain the actual market value of those property going by the emerging market trend.

‘I hope my fans should be talking to their lawyers concerning the need to develop interest in investing in fixed assets. That way, they can never go wrong.” she advised.
