Nigeria; The revolution! Me 4 President!

Shoes for today!---Lovely kinda playful power shoes!i like that they are toned down serious-very versatile-day 2 night. They are basically neutral so they will pass with any other colour..They are Giuseppe Zanotti shoes. yeh yeh.fashion savvy President!

It’s been a while and suddenly I see myself being too damn lazy to do anything...blogging obviously included. I have been about Nigeria since a while back especially after the SONY ad and District 9. I won’t delve into that subject because it has been overly discussed and like any other reasonable patriotic Nigerian, my opinion is obvious---confirmed Sony hater here! Back to business---I am an unrepentant optimist and my optimism gets in the way of even normal thinking...i agree but all the facebook stats on the 1st of October that implied Nigeria was a shithole are well! just shit because unlike a lot of people I believe Nigeria will change and get rebranded without being sugar coated. We have a long way to go but I believe it’s not too far...all we need is one good President and a lot of good politicians; this is where my sudden interest in politics comes in. I am definitely not a sucker for politics and all but with everything going on and everyone implying that Nigeria will never be better; I just want to fill that post to prove them wrong! So I’m starting my campaign today---Me 4 President. Nigeria the Revolution! It’s a no nonsense government and if you are thinking of your national cake, we will all share the cake equally and legally. Being that I’m not the type to frown over politics, I would gladly rest if I see one good president before I start my journey to the presidency. It might sound really trivial now but seriously I mean it! I am tired of Nigeria being underestimated, I am tired of Nigeria being labelled evil---just because they see we have the potential to be better than they will ever be, I am tired of underdeveloped countries with hungry citizens referring to Nigeria with disgust, I am tired of being demeaned because I am Nigerian. I will always be Nigerian, the green runs through these arteries and white through my veins. Okay but a female president in Nigeria---Let’s see! It’s the revolution, remember. Our government will be filled with pleasant surprises and right now, I think that’s all we need because all we expect is the WORSE!

More to the deserving and improving---NOLLYWOOD! Personally I would have preferred our movie industry coming up with a name more original but then I guess we are all used to it now and it’s not an official name by any means, so I will let that rest. Being that I have been lazy as hell, I definitely was wasting my time doing something else and turns out apart from sleep...I was watching and craving Nigerian movies(haha---not a movie watcher but I managed to watch about 3 in 2 weeks so it was a huge step for me). Yeah yeah! A lot of people will close this blog now but then those movies that gave you the lasting bad impression about NG movies are almost in extinction now...OKAY! I exaggerate but there are some movies that will keep you smiling and wearing those * I rep Naija tees and I will recommend them. I have fallen in love with movies written or produced by Emem Isong-Nice she’s female!---Babes be finkin outside the freaking box + her movie characters have real names---not Stacey and Tracey and Michael...in her movies we see Nse, Tersoo, Chidinma and I love that! Staying true to your roots. Any way my prescription for NG movies today are *drumroll*

Guilty Pleasure-*****

Letters to a stranger-******

Empty coffin-****

Reloaded-****

For Nigerian movie junkies...you can tell that these movies are not necessarily new but then they are the few I have put on my—omG!!!R these even Naija movies* list! Delving into a Nigerian movie entertainment filled life, I’m hoping I would be able to put a few must watch movie recommendation with every post...I hope school doesn’t suffer cause most likely-someone’s got to pay!

All in support of The Federal Republic of Nigeria say Ay! Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay Ay!

Lecture #1- Break a leg



Shoes for the day!Comfy everywhere-you-go slippers.I like these sporty designs-really masculine buh somehow just really love em-somehow haven't gotten around to get one!-so i just wear my leather slippers that are built very close to these.You really need em with a broken leg...no shoes allowed mayne!

1. Unlike pilots and captains, OKADA men never go down with their machines.
2. A leg is way too important; walking isn’t near the only thing one leg helps you with.
3. Everybody has a freaking cross to carry so don't be envious of anyone ever!
4. Never deliver money through someone else, either the receiver believes he has been cheated or it doesn’t get there intact.
5. Smiling and being happy makes things better but it is also a bad thing especially when everyone forgets and expects you to do certain things like you were well.
6. Even your family can get tired of helping you...most people will, they just won’t say it.
7. Flagyl makes me throw up even on an empty tummy.
8. Orbit chewing gum can’t get rid of drug inflicted nausea
9. Doctors don't understand Ouch and stop!
10. A fracture is worse when it’s near a joint...the closer to a joint, the slower it will heal.
11. Callus that forms to heal a broken bone is way stronger than the bone i.e. if you get a fracture when it heals...even on direct impact that same point will not break instead some other part of the bone will.
12. When you have an aching leg, your youngest brother believes he can act anyhow he wants and many other people too.
13. Lying on a hospital bed for two weeks is hell
14. Using a bed pan is even worse
15. They actually want you to get naked in the theatre...nah ah! I kept my panties!
16. Antibiotics colour the teeth
17. When you lose blood, they flood your system with saline for all the fluid you have lost before they start considering blood transfusion.
18. Nurses are evil except the really nice ones. Mum calls them Florence Nightingale: woman who started nursing as a profession is Florence Nightingale.
19. Injections and IV drugs are better...way easier to take than tablets
20. Painkillers are heaven...lmao...Painkillers are addictive (some of them are made with narcotics)...they say I was almost there but I doubt!
21. When you have an aching leg, you understand the importance of a smooth tarred road.
22. ‘Friends’ are friends whether they can be assholes or not.
23. Certain headaches can last 2 weeks, headache in question: my spinal headache
24. You can carry some metal in your bone for a whole lifetime
25. The tools orthopaedic Drs use look like a carpenter’s as in hammer, drill, chisel.etc.
26. Break your leg and you get a car...its trade by batter! Lmao!
27. When terrible things happen, even the strongest of men question God but then God lets bad things happen to us because without them, we’d probably forget he is even there. I love you God!

Diary of a newbie! Friends =Disaster!

Shoesiz! So the shoes for today are louboutin. something about these shoes give out an aura filled with sass and power and i'm guessing they should fit this post!And the red sole:louboutin signature!---i liking...feels sooooo incharge...wareva ish my post!

Really this is something I have come to learn the hard way. Letting my friends in on the tidbits of my relationship...people-a big no-no. There came the advices, the opinions, the rumours and then a few took it upon themselves to hate my boo boo on my behalf...thanks though! But really girlfriends are Drama! Like hell! There are the shez.

She that flirts and sleeps with your boyfriend.

She that doesn’t approve of him.

She that brings back stories of his escapades with other girls-I did not beg oh but I listened. Now I’m one biG dumbass and I cant deny!

She that makes his business all in her face...yours too.

She that talks to the other she about you-Yes you know they do but you still stick with them and smile because you are all friends, innit?

She that you know is a confirmed BITCHSTARD...She’d stab you as soon as you are vulnerable. Yes...you know but you just fash!

She that brings them other boys coming-interesting buh sooo not unhealthy.

Really I don't want you to let you all into my drama or do I? Okay I do but then I’m a changed person, won’t see me washing my Victoria secret thong on hostel corridors anymore.

But friends can be ok...there are still the she’s...

She that brings all the fun

She that brings all the gossip-good or bad? beats me

She that takes you to ‘Caf’ to read when its time for exams.

She you are laughing with and mimicking on the dance floor

She that doesn’t take things too personal and seriously-yeh we all call ourselves FRIED FISH.

She that cooks like 20 packs of indomie just so your name will enter...lol

She that’s waiting 30 minutes into that lecture while you are screaming ‘XXx...Wait now. Please, Dan Allah!’...really don't have none like this...I’d be the one waiting...True!

She that says ‘Nah ah! You are not going anywhere in that trouser...ahn ahn!

She that’s always there for you, make sacrifices to be places with you...sadly I don't have any around me!

My conclusion on my life at the mo’....Not all friends are the same. There are friends for every situation.

I have the friend that cares in bad times but she is not the one to get to that party with me or escort me when I need to go somewhere important. Then there’s the friend that will go to parties with me but she’s always on some disappointment ish...never on time! But then I don't have the friend I want...the one I am. I am a good friend to a stupid fault...so I changed a bit. Stopped caring, stopped bothering, we friends and that’s where it ends. Someone told me ‘My dear, people are not always there for you’, funny she said it about how she learnt to tweeze her eyebrows...lol but it reflects in every part of our lives- I learnt to paint the nails on my right hand with my left for the same reason and the fact that they never really care to get those tight corners. It is what it is...it may seem like I have a million friends for those who know me but I really have close to non but I’m def not lonely...I have the little people in my head keeping me company. Yes and the boo, they all bad mouthing. Yeh...I see through you, biting the fingers you can’t get to feed you. Right now my philosophy is....

Never jeopardise your feelings because of irrelevant people.

Some people are not worth the value you attach to them, yeh! diss them immediately you realise!

And my personal favourite-If you bitching, I’m ditching.-words of wisdom people.

Diary of a newbie V


Shoes for toDay!
They Aldo!--My one stop online shop for fab shoes---yada yada yada!WEll, they just really match the post because really they are practical. maybe I just cant bring myself to settle for sore feet after lectures, Is it just me? Well, i wear flats everyday, was really tempted to get black on here but this just has the fab factor....now d post!

Med & Money
Taken! Med students never ever admit the fact that they are in med for the money. Maybe many aren’t but I bet a good number are. Everyone’s talking about the passion...what better driving force than the Kish! Ego! Kudi! Owo!-that really is the Passion. What’s more inspiring than a house in the Hamptons or the Caribbean? Or the H3...Lamborghinis? Private jets and yachts? Moet as water? Maybe the above options aren’t appealing enough for our more homemade and home loving counterparts- a big mansion in your village? A shot at being Anumanu III of Mbaise? Having the latest V boot in town? I can sense your drool from where I’m seated!
Sincerely many of us just want to be seen as good humans who want nothing but the best for the people but deep down we know better. What better explanation for the stamped fact that med students deal med & money! Making money is always the favourite pastime- we talking a 70% to 30% ratio here and the money makers are definitely not the lower rate. As prospective doctors, life couldn’t seem easier...a decent acknowledgeable pay while serving as an intern, and mostly a job readily available after grad. There would definitely be no better reward for staying in school 6 years + to get a degree and the sacrifice of living the rest of our lives inhaling the scent of iodine and izal-atleast for some. Whatever it be, I don't see money as being the wrong inspiration for a career in med because let’s face it, every career is based on making money. If you think otherwise, why then would our parents refer to education as an investment if it didn’t entail profit? I see no adverse effects if I have money on my mind and you have the sick in your mind and we all wind up being Doctors. We’d both still be treating the sick and getting the pay except I allow a large number of patients die due to my nonchalance considering the fact that I’m more intent on getting money-but that’s not going to happen because I have too much money on my mind to allow myself lose my license and eventually end up a pauper. Moreover, the fact that money serves as my driving force doesn’t mean I have no soft spot for the lives of Homo sapiens like me. So at the end there’s quite no difference except while studying my notes there’s a cloud of money hovering above my head and a cloud of crying kids in Liberia hovering over yours. Pulp and plain!
Ps. God remains the first inspiration...this is just a battle of mates.

Blah BlaB BlaBB!BootaY!


Shoes for toDay!Aldo!
They are cute, as casual as this post and random i ges. They could be my everyday shoes, they just look fun!
!BootaY!
Baby at some point I might have hated you but now I miss you. I remember when they were teasing us together...saying you were just a limelight lover, it didn’t matter and now you are gradually leaving me. I’m a fan of them slim girls but if losing weight means losing you...I don't want to. Was beginning to enjoy having you and now you want to leave!No! So I decided to write this public tribute to you so you know I care and love you. I miss you bumcheeks!

Yes...I miss my A$s! It’s really bothering me, it might not have been anything big but thats the point. It wasn’t huge but it was appreciated and if that which wasn’t big decides to get smaller...we on the road to blackboard flatness oh! Abeg...imma grab anything I can eat...need to revive my junk in the trunk Asap! This could be disastrous oh, I can’t even imagine it so I’m off to grab as much junk to get my weight up, and hopefully DrY bones shall rise aGain!


Just went through this article and....Really why would anyone want to be buried amidst the devils worshippers and all-Forest lawn cemetery...hmmm-will look up more on it sha. Icky and real creepy if you ask me but then some great people lie there-1 point. I almost freaked out when I read the part that talked about Michael having a painting of the last supper with himself in Jesus Christ’s place like what!!!! But I chilled when I realised that the apostles were Einstein, Presley, Lincoln and the likes but really-What does that even represent? I will not judge oh-hope I’m not already but I’m beginning to ask how most of us would have reacted to M.J’s if he was not the King of Pop, if he wasn’t up there because mehn I’m already reacting, it doesn’t matter that he is a legend-no denial.


¬¬Right now: !!!!Jeez!!!!!! Is that a strand of hair I feel on my chin!!!!??!!!!!!! .....No No NO! Oh it’s a pimple...never been so glad to find one! Maybe I’m just losing it...
