30 Day Challenge: Day 11

Day 11: My Family

I thought composition writing had gone with Primary school days but 'My Family' *sighs* I don't even know where to start cos where I'm from, the average family size is a football team with substitutes. If you don't have an idea of where am from, iBeg sit here \)___ and when asked what you're sitting on, say 'cushion shair ni' and if you still don't get it.... oh well #MovingOn

Talking about my family, am a father of a great cyber nation and I practice what I preach. I mean I operate a polygamous cyber family and my kids can testify to the fact that I love my wives equally :|

MafabaAlaso
Am the head of my family but I don't control things. I operate an Equal Opportunity family with equal rights. Am blessed with kids, all gurls and I look forward to receiving their bride price while they maintain my name.
If am not on twitter, who will? Follow @MafabaAlaso

AyCeeX
AyCeeX my Omoba! Daddy's little Princess. She's an half cast Africana, here mama is from Malawi and you already know where am from. She's my first child and I love her so much. She's the apple of my eyes. She's into music. You can follow her on twitter @AyCeeX

Dayteaser

Nutylove
Love my daughter, ife omo mi. She's always quiet, doesn't run after guys (I know say all na gimmick). She's focused on her education but always complaining about her pocket money. She will soon call me to ask for her August allowee. She's also on twitter @nutylove

Ajala
Yeah! Ajala is her name and she's not a boy. She got her name from the legendary Ajala Travel all over the world. She may be in Las Gidi now and within 24hrs, she's already in Las Vegas and am sure she took after me. If not for her age, she would have been appointed as the Minister of Tourism. You can also follow her on twitter @toyinatanda

Beedazzld
You dare not argue with my family hoping you will win. Faith is a lawyer in the making, she's pretty as well and she sure know how to deal with people, especially boys and gurls who show respect for others and those who don't. Faith acts more of a sister than a daughter and sometimes want to perform the role of a mother (on her father o, imagine). She's also on twitter @beedazzld

MsSwanky
Swanky my naughty daughter. Always accusing me of abandoning her in school. she sometimes behave like the baby of the house and at times, she just want to be treated as an adult *lips sealed*. Follow her on twitter @MsSwanky

NB: I won't mention others for fear of their boyfriends or man-friends beating me up.

By the way, this challenge is becoming something else. First, it was what I ate, now my family, I just hope the next one won't be my account. That said #MovingOn

30 Day Challenge: Day 10

Day 10: Put Your Music Player On Shuffle and Write The First Ten Songs That Play

"Am here to speak the truth, am here to pray for peace, to make it rain. Why evils! Why why why why why, Why evils!"
Those are Vic O's lyrics on his Enigma version. Lyrics looking good, so go listen to the song. Am sure you will have something to say and I can always lend you my blog for a minute. #MovingOn

The shuffle button on my music player has expired so I won't be doing 'shuffle' but I will be talking about some Enigma freestyle Joints, maybe some good ones but obviously some freaking fcuked ones too.
If you don't know what Enigma is all about, don't try google and don't do dico cos they will both fail you on this one but you can ask twitter, @DonJazzy or NotJustOk.com. That said #MovingOn

KidKonnect: This is obviously the wackiest freestyle I have ever heard in my whole life. No lyrics, No composition, No delivery, No style, No noting, just beat. This song is so freaking fcuked that I won't even give you guys the link :|

Vic O: Why will I talk about Enigma and I won't mention Vic O's Why evils, why why why why why evils? I think he knows what he's doing but he's just the last person to be caught singing. Though his delivery style which I will rate 0 out of 10 calls for probing, I just wonder if the lyrics are actually 'his lyrics' *lips sealed*. Enigma is dead, Vic O killed it! Download Vic O's Enigma (Why Evils) here

Simple: He called his own version of enigma 'Can't Stop Me'. I just wonder when babalawo aka JazzMan started doing music. His intro is badt, full of incantation. What else can I say, his version is rated WizKid. Click here to download Simple's Enigma

EFA: If you're yet to listen to Efa's enigma, then you're on a long thing. He made good use of the beat, his delivery is tight, his style is bam. He narrated a complete story in less than 2mins. I guess he will be among the top rated. To download EFA's Enigma Click Here

SplashJosh: He went in on this Enigma beat and did justice to it. Dropping some sick punchlines and spitting bars. He should also be among the top rated. You can also download SplashJosh's Enigma by Clicking Here. His twitter handle is @SplashJosh

Eli Rosse: Here's a girl, Eli Rosse by name and according to her hook, her Enigma is 60sec. Nice delivery, Nice concept. Not going the way others went, quiet unique. She should be among the Top Rated too. Click here to download Eli Rosse's Enigma. You can also follow her on twitter @Rossevelt_Agom

T' Sleek: This guy should also be among the Top rated. Nice rap, Nice delivery, he almost got me dancing at the end of his version. Download T' Sleek's Enigma right here. His handle on twitter is @tsleekSB_Boss

BaseOne: Somehow sounding like Dagrin, maybe cos of his kind of delivery but he's got some bars. He simply murdered this Enigma beat. Download BaseOne's Enigma version here. His twitter handle is @Baseone1

I can go on and on on this Enigma of a beat but I will have to stop here, its Environmental saturday and I've got to do some clean up in the kitchen *Big Grin* Food is read, join me if you can and thanks for reading.

30 Day Challenge: Day 9

Day 9: How Important I Think Education Is

Knowledge is light, Ignorance is darkness. I don't know about Education, but can education be the battery Knowledge needs to shine?
I don't need a theory to know how important education is, neither do I need a rule measure to measure its importance but one popular saying we all believe in is 'If you think education is expensive, try ignorance'.
I know a lot of people that have tried ignorance and today, they are referred to as success stories. We all know Bill Gates story, Steve Jobs nko? Do you know his story? #GoFigure. I won't even go into the musical side of education cos we all know the difference between, 2Face, D'Banj and Naeto C (I won't even mention Kanye West).
On a scale of 1 to 10, for me, education won't be rated more than 4, why? Education in itself is important but more important is the knowledge derived and not just education, that's why we have the term 'educated illiterate'.
Education gives you the needed proof, the certificates, the exposure, the connections and maybe the ideas. It can also present you with the knowledge but it is left to you to choose whether you want to be educated or knowledgeable.
Education is simply 'Instruction and teaching' while Knowledge is 'the act of knowing'. Most people are educated, they've successfully completed the 'instruction and teaching' stage but they are not knowledgeable, as they have refused or are yet to 'know'. Now I guess that should answer the question about why Nigeria is still where they are today. We value education more than knowledge, our emphasis is on the certificate rather that the knowledge derived from it.
A consultant once said the best students are not always the brightest, he had his facts and figures all well researched and he concluded by saying they are the best all cos they have got good short term memory which is good for reading and cramming for exams which after the exam, they hardly remember 70% of what they knew while writing the exam.
Am not against education and I don't believe western education is evil. In fact I believe education is important but more important is the knowledge derived from it.
I hope with these few points of mine, I have been able to convince and not confuse you that education is important but more important is the knowledge derived from it.
Thank You!

30 Day Challenge: Day 8

Day 8: What You Ate Today

What topic can be more interesting than this? When it comes to food, I've got no rival, na me go always carry first. My twitter friends can attest to the fact that am always hungry. I just can't eat enough, that's why I love my Saturdays at the 'Owambe' junction.

Normally, I don't like eating early in the morning so all I had was the food drink of future champions and ever since then, I've been on the road and am still on the road but you can always be rest assured that Gala and Lacasera will and can never pass me by as I have downed gala x2 (una fit talk say 2 galas na Gbagaun) and a bottle of lacasera topped with a bottle water but the day is still bright so am looking forward to what the evening has got in store for me in terms of food.
The end!!! You can blame it on hunger, I can't even think straight. I just wish I can get a lamp right now, I need a genie to turn all these cars into burgers, bounce, puf-puf or even ofio X_X.
I guess this is the point where I have to show you the timetable I was issued to work with (at least make this post self long small). I just hope I will be faced with a more interesting topic tomorrow.
Thanks for reading guys!!!

30 Day Challenge: Day 7

Day 7: Five Pet Peeves

At this point, I will like to accuse the person or persons that drafted this 30day Challenge Topics. Their sole aim is to know all about me in 30days but as per omo ekco aka omo eko #MovingOn
As the topic suggest, na pets get today and as I no get pet aside that Superhero Mosquito wey I dey always clap for after every successful operation *sighs* #MovingOn
Talking about pet peeves, do I even have one? *in Bishop David Oyedepo's voice* Maybe I have and I never noticed, but there are quiet a bunch of stuffs that are just a No No for me and they are:

1) Lying: I detest liars. Lying goes a long way in damaging so many things and by the time the truth voice catches up with it, it would have done more than enough damage beyond repairs. I mean, where's your integrity?

2) Pretending: aka Forming. I HATE pretenders. This life is too short not to have a good taste of it or why do people form? They want to feel among with their mouth thereby throwing away their person. I just hate pretenders cos pretending is always supported by lying.

3) Twitter Rules: Yeah! I don't like this either. Why should we be sent to jail after 100 tweets within an hour? I mean 60mins is more that enough to tweet 100 times.

4) Derogatory: This is one thing I can't stand. Why do people even belittle others? They say its human nature but is it not human nature to hype? If you do this, then you ain't confident of yourself and my perception of u *insert bye-bye smiley*

5) Crowd/ Group: Maybe I love loneliness or am just used to being alone, or can it be that am shy? I really don't like crowd or should I call it group without having any other aim than the normal ones People hangout for.

In other to show you guys that have got more than five, I will like to add ..... Hem....... #Okbye #AmDone

Thanks for reading guys!

30 Day Challenge: Day 6

Day 6: My Views On Mainstream Music

"Music heals your body, music heals your soul, music makes you happy..." says Omawunmi's lyrics and I must say I quiet agree with her cos music has been my companion ever since I knew there was something called music.
Music for me has been a large part of the man I've become and aside the fact that it makes me happy, one way or the other, I have found myself in that same situation depicted in a song. This has lead me to define music as life.
By mainstream music, we mean the generally accepted songs in the society. Those popular songs usually on the TopTen countdown. I won't be talking about artist today but I will sure talk about their songs.
Though, it won't be easy to talk about my views on mainstream music without ranting but I will try my best not to bore you guys too much so I will just use some few songs and we're done!
Before I go ahead, I will like to thank artist like 2Face, even though he's got this 'Implication' song, he's got so many other meaningful and interesting songs, songs such as Rain Drops, Only Me, etc. Also, Asá is one artist I respect a lot. She has being making good, quality and 'lyrically' upright songs right from her very first album. Talk about Jailer, 360 degrees, The Place to be, Be my man, etc. Ok, enough of the praises. Now to the business of the day #MovingOn
Pakurumo: <----- this song right here sounds more like the kindda songs the likes of Saheed Osupa aka SaridonP, Shanko Rasheed and Iyabo Osanle started with. How did I know? Am simply razz and am not just razz, am razz to the core! And you know what, 'emi oni fi owo osi juwe ile baba mi' #GoFigure. Don't AXE your mummy else you will rotten in jail, simply watch me closely. Pakurumo falls in the genre of songs I call O.O.O (Orin Omo Oloku) don't even ask me what this means, use your lifeline, hem.......ask a friend.
Oleku: Wow! This song is at it again but I just can't place what this song is all about. They were just blabbing and talking sh!t while listeners are consuming it hook, line and sinker. Maybe it didn't work for me cos I like songs I can relate with, songs I can make use of when talking and not just songs that will make me jump up and scatter my dada.
Maybe I should just say this, if it can't be hyped and its not a club banger, it seems not to be in the mainstream music category.
Some few days ago, someone said an artist tried cos almost all his songs are club bangers but I will like to ask you one question, just one question and that question is 'When dancing, what do you dance to?'. Do you dance to the lyrics of the song or you flow with its beat? If you ain't sure, ask a DJ. If you like a song cos of its beat, please stop pouring all the accolades on the artist, the producer owns it all and in fact, artists ask for dance beats from producers and then try working on it to come out with songs they believe will give them that desired street credibility. They end up saying arrant nonsense just to flow with the beat.
My view is simply that mainstream music, is being influenced by the hype they get and in the first instance, they are not worthy to be called a song cos most times if not always, they makes no-sense and are always not lyrically upright or who among you will want his/her kids to listen to or sing along to songs like Ori e o foka sibe or is it Axe yor momi awon eleyi won badt gan.

Ok, am done! #MovingOn

30 Day Challenge: Day 5

Day 5: Things I Want To Say To An Ex

*thinking* Things I want to say to an Ex. Maybe this is the opportunity I've been waiting for, I just hope this little voice of mine will get to places I might never get to. So many issues to address, so many words to be said, different looks for different Ex but its one Ex at a time.
First of all, I don't like talking about guys, they are just freaking boring and talking about an Ex-convict *SMBH* lemme allow him do more music jor, his convict music ain't doing bad after all but *now whispering* I hope you all know his real name is Akonbi, ssssshhhhhhh! No be me tell una o cos he dey vex if u call him dat.
Before I move on, pls can I add just one Ex I never had? I wish to be her Ex if she can't be mine but if wishes were horses, I guess I won't be here wishing this wish cos I would have rode on this wish over and over again *now playing P.Diddy's 'I Need A Girl' Part 1* Yeah! I had same taste as Diddy but with a different view thou. He felt money was all that could make a woman happy until she looked him in the eye through his TV screen and said ' My love don't cost a thing'. I connected with this, I felt like showing her that all men ain't equal or at least some of us are more equal than the others when it comes to treating a lady but with each shake of her HiP line in that video, I felt more and more speechless abi na helpless.
JLo is one gurl I admire her HiP line and if I can get that chance, she will be my 2nd wife. Thou she's even less than a 2nd hand now and since women were not created equal, my love for her being my Ex can never equal nor replace that of Alicia Keys cos 'everything means nothing if I've got Keys'. Keys is one gurl am totally in love with. Am a fan of not just good music but great music and this gurl *in BankyW's voice* she dey do me strong thing. She don sing her way siddon, rent, share, build her own Palace and even turn landlord in my heart. I know you guys must be calling me a dreamer right now but *insert am not Joseph kindda look here* or better still go listen to 'Dreamer' by @ItsYoungPizzy. Even though Keys is the Landlord, I just have this feeling that Asá has got the C of O with her *lips sealed* but am not relentless *now dancing to Relentless by Eva* wow! Omo onile don come o! I just hope mathematics won't fail me this time around cos 1+1=2, Me+Ev*=We and MexEv*=Kids, need I say more? :| don't even call me a groupie cos am not ready to share my 'wine' with You <----- U can take this with a pinch of salt or better still *insert @som1twisted here* #MovingOn
To my Ex, I will like to say thanks for being there even when you ain't there. *in Ajirebi's voice* That is to say *in MI's voice* only one Ex I know, Ex-Mayflower students. Why should I say anything to them, when all they need is in MerryMayflower and keep dissing Ex-convict cos *in Akon's voice* its Convict music. Ok, I guess I need to stop making no-sense now.
One thing I will like to say to an Ex is that 'You were loved, You are Loved and You will forever be loved' but there's one thing in life we all can't afford to ignore and that thing is #MovingOn *now running to chad* #OkBye

30 Day Challenge: Day 4

Day 4: Bullet Your Whole Day

I really don't know what the person that came up with this topic was thinking but if I have bullets to waste, they will all be wasted on my BIS provider's fair usage policy.
In the name of 'free will', I will rant and in fact, I will change this topic to 'Rant Your Whole Day' but for 'fair blogging', I will stay calm and exhibit my game spirit.
Now to the business of the day;

    •Our father who art in heaven
    •He woke me up from the mini-death of the night
    •He gave me eyes to check the time
    •He gave me mouth to say a thank u prayer and legs to enter the bathroom
    •He gave me hands to Brush my teeth, comb my hair and dress up
    •He led me to church
    •He put the words in Pastor Sam's mouth and he talked on what I will like to call 'Pursuit of Happiness'
    •He paid my BISMONTH the 3rd time within a month
    •Even thou I felt a strong sense of poo
    •He didn't lead me to pooing in my pant
    •For I got home before downloading
    •Mini-Calls, Major Waka, I feared no fall
    •For only the Lord gives and takes
    •The remaining hours in the day is for game and sleep
    •I see a table of food before me
    •That I shall eat thereof
    •For this is the day so far
    •If you've got more you can add to it
    •Your effort will be much appreciated
    •Through comments and tweets
    •And we shall all come back here tomorrow for a new post
    Amen!

30 Day Challenge: Day 3

Its Day 3 of the 30 Day challenge and I will like to say THANK YOU all for standing by my blog and sending in your motivations via comment box. I will also like to congratulate myself for completing this challenge. I bet you are laughing but *insert not interested smiley here* its not about being lazy, am just mathematically convinced that am done. *big grin* or how do you explain 30 ÷ 3? oh! Sorry, its 10 and not 0 *covers face*


Day 3: A Book I Love

Yeah! I knew it. I was wondering why I allowed myself to be tempted into accepting this challenge and even accepting a list of things to write on. I mean books have found a way of popping up in my everyday life, thanks to my parents and I know you guys, especially you! Yes You! I know you're working for my father. <---- {This is an auto SUB for YOU!] *Abija shrugs*
This has always been my parents dream, they want me to love the books sotey dem no dey allow me play (now you know the reason why I live on twitter X_X). They bought my first ever book that I can remember for me and I love that book so much. In fact, Queens Premier is a book I can never forget or how would I have known how to say 'I go up. You go up. They go up. Up up we go. Am I to go up. Is he to go up? Yes I am. Yes he is'. How I wish I knew growing up was a trap but Brighter Grammar book 2 or is it book 3, the one with Ali and Simbi, that same one with 'Mr Sada is a farmer, he lives in Sapele, he grows yam, cassava, corn and plantain. Can you see his farm in the picture?' Heya! Epele you all can't see his farm but I still have the mental picture. :p Brighter Grammar Book 6 wasn't bad either, the one with Agbo and the Boys Scout. How will I forget 'The Incorruptible Judge', I acted this in school, at home and even in my dreams, the one pound flesh *sighs*. How about Macbeth, Talaribawi, Second Chance, A tale of two cities, Death in the Family, Eze goes to school, Kole the Superstar, Ade our Naughty Little Brother, My Book of Bible Stories, Songs of Praise (S.O.P), Merry Mayflower, Oliver Twist or The Man Who Attended His Own Funeral which happens to be my record breaking novel *looks away* I can't even be bothered, I was forced to read this 99 page novel but at the end, it was worth it.
I can't even pick any of those books mentioned above cos after reading them in school and cramming them for exams, I still get to read them at home, they kept stalking me everywhere I go. You see, I have always live this life of books, books and books but one book I love and can't stop loving is TinTin. If you didn't read TinTin as a kid, then you need to be a kid again cos you've been deprived :p. You don't have to cry though, go to the nearest cinema and request to see a TinTin movie or better still *in Ish yor boy Wizzy's voice* AXE google, awon TinTin, awon Snowy won badt gan. As a kid, I had a book as big, if not bigger than the ababio. That book is called 'The Adventures of TinTin'. I will save you all the stories behind this little Journalist who was always on one adventure or the other in company of his little dog, Snowy. You can visit this blog Adventures of TinTin to learn more about TinTin, you can also visit TinTin the official site and you will be surprised that am not the only one in this TinTin of a book. Did I even mention that there was a time this book 'Adventures of TinTin' was stolen from me and I had to steal it back :)
Ok, am done!

30 Day Challenge: Day 2

Day 2: Something I Feel Strongly About

No Lie! I feel 'strongly' about this topic. First of all, the grammar *sighs*, secondly I can't just seem to understand nor translate it to a meaningful sentence. Right now, I dey feel like Yakubu, like am in the middle of a lonely road heading nowhere but I just can't stop, this is just the beginning, day 2 and am already lost, I guess Yahoo News must feature this post else I will have to post a link on Hi5 or better still, shove it down Odina's barbie X_X
Hem.....In this country of ours where everything seems to be on the wrong side, there is absolutely everything to feel 'strongly' about. Is it the bad roads or the no light? How about the unemployment level? The state of our financial institutions or the low standard of living of the people? What about the lack of TT (Trending Topics) on twitter and the all time low twit-fights? Oh! Do you even know that there was a twit-fight between @Zicmilitary and @TweetOracle yesterday? Dayumm..... You've missed the twit-fight of a life time, Its was madt, see BIG BIG dissing, yepa! Ori iyami eleba o! *in Chris Tucker's voice* ain't there gonna be a Part2? but #IsThatWhyWeAreHere? Nope! We are here for this 30 Days non-stop blogging I've found myself in which I feel 'strongly' about, or what's there not to feel 'strongly' about? :| is it the fear of public places which is the beginning of wisdom for Nigerians and most especially the Northerners? Or is it the faceless Boko Haram's 'bomb and claim responsibility' strategy? :x ..... Not to even talk of those 106 unfollowers *burst into tears*.
I have said this before and I will say it again, 'I am not in anyway responsible for anything you read on this blog, be it post or comments, I owe nobody any letter of the alphabet nor musical note so make nobody dance to music wey hin no hear' (Terms and Conditions apply).
One thing I really feel 'strongly' about is that 2006 Covenant University CBS (College of Business and Social Science) week, aka Blue Week '06 tagged P.I.M.P (Promoting Intellectual and Mental Productivity) that got cancelled. *now getting emotional* Yes! We prepared well, we stabbed lectures, we had sleepless nights, the photo sessions, the mascots, the blue sprays and the videos *sighs*. The then Student Council Chairman said to us after a long meeting 'you guys want to beat CST (College of Business and Social Science) to it but do you think your college week will hold' and that was it. We took it with a pinch of salt, maybe cos we had his council members among us or maybe cos we followed due process and got all our programmes signed. The opening of the college week on Sunday was massive, we didn't stop there. On monday, we all came out for what we called the awareness carnival, the whole school was brought down, CST and CHD students joined us, the lecturers and workers were not left out, they even had their face painted. ***To save us all the details and rantings cos e still dey pain me gan, lemme fast-forward >>****
While we were all in front of the cafeteria enjoying the 'Dance-Battle' (First of its kind in CU and definitely the Last), I mean we took over the whole school, this must have gotten the authorities scared that if we can make this happen, then we can successfully organise a protest or better still a riot and the student council chairman was there to speak bad of the week *sighs* 'we' had to say good night. Yes 'we' cos our College Rep was forced to do it without us knowing. The whole college week which has just started has been cancelled, It was sad, I was confused, but 'Our opinion does not count'. After so many deliberations and Panel facing, Exhibits in the form of pictures were brought forward and the charges were laid but we were able to clear them all as we followed due process in getting approvals for all what we did and even the ones we were set to do. As minutes turned into hours and hours into days, we 'the organisers' were left with no choice, we had to stand by each other as liver had failed most people, they were scared of expulsion. The school authorities said our P.I.M.P (gotten from the Schools motto which was Promoting Mental Productivity) which we claim to mean 'Promoting Intellectual and Mental Productivity' was way far from its true meaning. They said the meaning of P.I.M.P according to their sources, for guys; it means 'Prostitute In My Palace' and for gurls, it means 'Pr!ck In My Pus*y' wow! I was shocked but what can the righteous do?
We were told that we should write out our names (we the organisers) and prepare to get our expulsion letters. We were 11 in number and we were to suffer for the whole college students. I wasn't moved, after all, I was on my right and I had done noting wrong. Some students pleaded with us that their names be included since we were representing them and the Great Izedomie said 'if they will expel you, that means they will expel the whole college student and their lecturers cos you guys were representing us' wow! That was all the assurance we needed *sighs* the long days of trials, the stabbing of lectures and the criminal kindda look that we were tagged with all of a sudden came to an end. I don tire, but that experience is still doing me strong thing *now thinking* the friends I made, enemies I discovered and the little fame. I just can't forget that week, I've got pictures, videos and even the offence *in VC's voice* ....
"Disturbing the peace of the community and performing very despicable acts that are diametrically opposing to the core values and the vision of the covenant university"

30 Day Challenge: Day 1

Day 1: 5 ways to win your heart

I welcome you all to the official lunching of my 30day Challenge. This is a challenge am not sure am up to cos its not close to any eating competition I know but 'ebi toba le ni ati n ba omo okunrin' (its where things are tough that we always meet a man or na where things hard we dey always find man). I know I've done something similar to this before, I have gone 30days without blogging *covas face* but can I blog for 30days non-stop? Though the challenge for me is not writing cos I love writing and I always write but I find it very difficult to post some articles. I love writing personal stuffs and fictions but I got discouraged when I misplaced the most precious and most valuable book of my life 'My Book of Poems' *sighs* over 200 personal poems all gone, *burst into tears* I just have this believe that the book will always find a way back home but I pray It won't get stuck in traffic, I mean make them Alaba boys and Computer Village boys no go pirate book wey I never release but how will they know am the author? *thinking*

This challenge is called a 30day challenge and considering some topics, I might have just waved it aside but @SheriphSkills said I can change topics and I will *dancing palongo*. This reminds me of how a class mate in secondary school created his own question during economics exam, he wanted to show the teacher that he's the king, so after answering the teachers questions, he wrote 'furthermore, to show that I know this subject, I will like to answer ...................' but *sighs* he failed his own question :(
Google is my friend and I've consulted him about this challenge, he said I can do it cos so many people have and in fact, there is a blog that was built based on the 30day challenge believe. He (google) said it takes 30days to turn something into an habit and I have done 30days and more without blogging but here I am. I will give google a chance, this is a project we all have to monitor, Let's see if he (google) won't fail on this one.
Now, back to our (or is it my) Five ways to win your heart.
Yeah! This is the topic for Day 1 and am not even going to change nor modify it but if you're a guy, I will like to appreciate ur reading this post up to this point, thanks a lot and remember to drop your comment below cos that's the little encouragement you can help me with that will keep me going, all other things after this are meant for the ladies.
Bye guys! You're all appreciated. See you on the comment side of this blog.
Ladies, we are alone in here so please scroll down.

I will be taking you through 5 simple ways I can win your heart *straight face*, its gonna be short and precise but it will grow wings inside you, steal your heart and keep it in mine.
These ways are more of rules than ways and if you're ready, say #Lesgo

    1) I will catch a grenade for you :|
    2) I will do the dishes while you watch football cos you're too cute to be seen doing the dishes *big grin*
    3) You don't have to worry about washing your undies, if I contribute to making it dirty, then I should be ready and not shy away from the responsibility of making it clean *wide grin*
    4) I know you're reading this and you're taking it personal but I told guys to stop reading long ago or Odina don dey show you pant abi?
    5) THE END


PS: if you want me to win your heart, let's make it into a game and see who wins but if you want to win mine, then Jesus go meet you on the 'Try Again' saga.
This post is kind of disjointed with no bearing but how do you want me to know how to win your heart?
Like they say, 'The first is always like a trail', this post is just to confirm my acceptance of this challenge and I promise to give it the best shots, so help me blogging spirit.
Many thanks to Sir Abijawara Biekun aka @SheriphSkills who brought this challenge to my notice, also to @KevinWithanL, blogging can't get any easier and to all my blog readers out there; if not for you guys *bows*

God Will Make A Way....

We all know this phrase, we have said it before and in fact, we will keep saying it.
I woke up with this on my mind and it has been on my mind every single minute. I know this message is not for everybody but if you don't need it, I will be more than happy to preach it to myself cos I need it and I believe God will surely make a way.
We all know about the story of the israelites who passed through the red sea. The red sea has no bridge but God made a way for them where there seem to be no way. I don't know what you're going through but the Lord who made a way through the red sea for the israelites will make your own way for you today in Jesus name. Its being a long time, you can't afford to give-up now.
A lot of people spend most of their time trying to survive, thereby forgetting to live. This is the plan of the enemy, they want us to be on the defensive but God wants us on the offensive. We have to stay aggressive with an aggressive spirit.
Even those who are not football lovers know that no team can presently be compared to Barcelona. Its not all about their players, Real Madrid have got better players. Its all in their tactics, they are always on the offensive, putting the pressure on the opposition, so they don't worry about being under pressure.
We have to get off the mentality that we need someone to steer us up all the time, nobody will believe in you if you don't believe in yourself. Don't worry about not having anybody, You plus God is all you're ever going to need in order to fulfil destiny. We always want to see how God works, we most times undermines Gods capabilities but remember, he made a path in the red sea, he saved Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego even when those who threw them into the fiery furnace got burnt, he's still in the business of making a way where there seems to be no way and I know that he is set to make a way for someone reading this post in Jesus name.
Giving-up is not an option, you have to tell yourself that "I won't give up". The devil uses things which we believe are useful to us to prosecute us. He will promise you the whole earth, if only you can compromise a little bit which is just what he needs to be lord over you.
Remember, Going to church doesn't make you a Christian as sitting in a garage doesn't make you a car'.
Consider how you live your life, is it defensive or offensive? The devil want us to be on the defensive trying to run away from him. He want to put the pressure on us but God wants us on the offensive, he want us to keep moving forward aggressively knowing that he is by our side.
One thing I have learnt is that if I always attack, I will never worry to be under the attack. You plus God is all you need, you don't have to worry when God is with you. Don't let the devil frighten you, God is in you and he will surely make that way into the glorious future he has in plan for you but you've got be aggressive.
May God answer your prayers and may he fulfil your heart desires in due season.

If Twitter Is A School....

iWrite, iPostLink, PageViewsHigh but NoComments. So iPackMyPosts, iLeftBlogger, iJoinWordPress but *sighs* my domain name 'www.mafaba.com' *sobs*
Though the domain is still working for the old blog, you're now officially welcome to my new home, if you've got questions, kindly drop it here _____________ or better still, sit back ----> \_____, relax and drop it in the comment box below (Y) thanks.
While I was rambling through the pieces of my old blog and trying to figure out how I can move my domain name to the new blog without investing twice the amount I got it for, I realised that I have never received lectures nor directly pay for most things I know but I have 'googled' my interests and followed them all up with youtube videos. I tried googling this out but google kept bringing back my fears, then just like Boko Haram's bomb explosion sound *pra-ka-ka-ka-kaboom* I found myself on twitter asking this question "IF TWITTER IS A SCHOOL, WHO WILL THE TEACHERS BE?" :O
I got some interesting answers which in the course of this reading, you will also get to know but first, here's a disclaimer, I am neither responsible for my own view nor the view of others but the first 50 students to get 'Verified' status will be given 1million each (Terms and Conditions apply).
Though, not really surprising, I got the first tweet from @itsUchman007 stating that @Tweetoracle will be the Principal, he later added @Cyrus_ThaVirus to his list. The second was from @TEEONAIR who tweeted that the Literature Teacher will be @Nsenile, while the Radio News and production teacher will be @Mz411. @MsJazzyfied also tweeted that the History Teacher will be @toluogunlesi and Economics Teacher will be @exschoolnerd. @shaR_Rone replied stating that @drewbaba, @mofame_, @cyrusthavrus, @omolexy and @MafabaAlaso will all be teachers in Twitter school of PostFacebook Studies,
While @temitidayo introduced us to a new teacher @ordinabarbie, who will be the bedmatics/modern begging teacher but I think Ordinabarbie will be that unserious student who knows noting but never fails (if you know what I mean).
The so called 'celebrities', those with the 'VERIFIED' accounts, will occupy the 'SENATE', while tweeps like @GbagaunDetector will double as both the gateman and an Inspector from the Federal Ministry of Education, which will be headed by @Twitter herself. @tweetOracle will definitely be the head teacher in charge of Examinations while @Exschoolnerd and @OloriSupergal will be Marketing teachers. @vivisleek and @ChyyChy_ will be Biology teachers, @KevinWithanL will definitely be the English teacher in charge of Essay Writing, @Abdulrahym will be the government teacher, @optixbaba will be the geography teacher, @princeAKAD will be the psychology teacher while @SuperKunle will be the PhobiaMatics teacher, teaching Phobias and their meanings. @Chef_Fregz will be that canteen man at the centre of the school cos Food is highly important and you know what they say about food and school, 'IF YOU EAT, YOU WILL PASS but IF YOU DON'T EAT, YOU WILL FAIL' *sighs*. @MI_Abaga will be that wicked teacher who is always after Kelly Hansome and he will be proudly supported by @Iceprincezamani and @brym_o who are Non-teaching staffs, @stayhigh2087 will be the accurate Time Keeper and without forgetting those who work behind the scene when teachers and students are asleep, @Sugar_tongued, @b_liciousJ and @adepompom will be the night watch guards.
Now, talking about twitter being a school, do you think it will be a Public or Private school? Who will your teachers be and how will the school be structured? Though if we take a look at the way the current twitter users moved there, it won't be wrong to say Twitter is more like a School of PostFacebook Studies.

Gone Too Soon: A Dedication to A Brother


'RIP Taiwo Akinmusuti' was all I saw on my BlackBerry messenger status updates but one common trend I noticed was that those using this as their bbm status happen to be products of Covenant University. I was interested in knowing who this Taiwo was and with no picture to work with, I dashed down to Facebook, I searched for the name but couldn't get a picture as he seem to have protected all his pictures. I felt he wasn't someone I know since he's not a friend of mine on facebook.
Two days later, I met a friend who told me about the death of one Taiwo and later sent me his picture. I couldn't believe my eyes, my mind went far, I tried calling his name if he would hear me, my mind flashed back to how I used to see and chat with him on Sundays, how we used to play and tease each other back then in school, how he used to tell me never to give-up nor relent in my effort in whatever I do, I can still hear him say 'Pray like you don't work towards achieving your dream and work towards it like you don't pray', I remember how he used to smile and say 'Tola Mafaiba, Tola MafaMalaria' (Tola Don't cause fever, Tola don't cause Malaria), how he used to tell me about his dreams *sighs*, I looked at my phone and wished he could call to tell me he's fine and alive. I couldn't control it, they came rolling down, I tried not to cry but I couldn't just stop the tears, a great friend is gone, a brother has left me in this wicked world. I just wish he can tap me from behind and tell me that I've been Punk'd.
There's no adjective nor qualification that will be enough to tell you how great a brother and a friend Taiwo was, He was just so amazing. Though no one is perfect, I won't be wrong to say Taiwo lived a close to perfect life that is worthy of emulation. Taiwo told me not to procrastinate, he once told me that whatever I find myself doing, I should do it with joy cos its just for awhile and may not last as long as I wish.
In Taiwo, I've learnt how to be relentless, how to go all out for whatever it is I desire, how to ignore the irrelevances that present themselves as being relevant, how not to spend time on the floor regretting past actions but how to get up, dust myself, evaluate past actions and build on them for a better outcome next time. Taiwo taught me how not to be afraid of loving someone who has little or no love for me. Taiwo was more than a 'friend' to me, he was a sibling God never gave me.
I just don't get why the good die young and I can't seem to put a reason to it but who am I to question God who knows all things.
I've read so many dedications, I've heard people talk about how they wish they had expressed their love for a loved one before his/her demise. Its so hard doing this but I pray God grants you the grace to read this post, though it might have showed through my actions, I really wish I had looked you in the eyes when I had the chance to and tell you how much of a brother you are to me, I wish I had told you how much regard I have for you. Even though you told me never to regret my actions which I don't, I just wish I had done more but one thing I desire for you now is to rest in the bosom of the Lord and I pray God gives your Parents, Kenny, family, friends, associates and all those that were around you the fortitude to bear the loss.
REST IN PEACE my brother, Taiwo Akinmusuti. You will forever live in our heart. We love you but God loves you more. Do sleep well in the bosom of the Lord, till we meet to part no more. Orun re o!

*A minute Silence*

May his soul Rest In Perfect Peace, Amen!

THE TWIT IN ME: The Dilemma of A Twit-Addict

My twit-life seems to be the most interesting and funniest part of my life, where aside making friends, ranting and getting to voice my opinion, I get to do what I love doing best.
I never knew I could be more addicted to anything more than games, I thought the FB addiction was the height until I realised that FB sucks more personal information from me than I wish to provide and makes these information available to all those around me, impersonators, my 'beefing' brothers, all those who care to know and most especially, their 3rd party, then I remembered twitter.
Before I could tweet 'Jack Robinson', I was already an addict and people (both on twitter and outside twitter) started questioning my ability to live outside twitter and they were curious to know if I ever close my eyes for once or stay off twitter for a minute.
The challenge to stay of twitter was brought up by a friend (Osi), I was to stay off twitter for a day. Thou I stayed off tweeting for 24hrs, I couldn't stay off twitter as I kept checking my TL and the time of my last tweet, I became pregnant for words I couldn't tell anyone cos it makes much sense only on twitter so I had to jot them down cos #MoneyCannotWaste.
Recently, I had to stay off twitter but my staying off was actually facilitated not by my will but by the almighty 'Naija Network' which can go for days without BIS connection, and like they say, 'if you've never seen another man's farm, you will think your father's farm is the biggest', I remember how I used to complain about 3mobile's connection which when compared to Naija's network, it will be faster than MTN, GLO, Airtel and Etisalat combined.
Even though staying off twitter gave me my life back, it also gave me the chance to talk and spend free time with the real me, I had the opportunity to feel my face and I got the needed reassurance that am still a boy, then I realised that the life I live on twitter is another me, the real me of the days in the past but do I enjoy my time off twitter?
Staying off twitter was like missing life's best events, such as an artist missing his first Grammy Award appearance, a tourist missing his flight or train to Paris, a 4 year old missing Cartoon Network's own Ben10 and like a Naija Blackberry user forgetting to charge his phone while the generator was on.
I seem not to like the real me without the 'twit-me', cos I have come to understand that we live in the e-Age, where everything we do are not redefined but e-Defined and our e-Friends are the proof we need.
During the time I was away, I kept thinking what my twit-daughters were tweeting, who my twit-gfs were flirting with, if @exschoolnerd has finally met Drake tweet-to-tweet, what article @MsJazzyfied would have written, what @KevinWithanL would have blog'd, what TT tweeps will be goin hard on, who @Sir_Scribbles is dissing, who and who are having twit-fight, what @gigachic has seen that looks like something else, how many tweeps @superkunle would have tweeted #nowffing at, if @kemmysterious would be happy am no longer clogging her TL, and what a host of others will be doing and most especially, who has taken over the duty of clogging TLs and Twit-Jail Presido from me.
After a week, I logged back on twitter only to be served with the best welcome back gift of all time, I got the gift when I checked my twitter profile and realised that am one hundred and six (106) followers short, I mean 106 people had unfollowed me :(
Now how do you expect me to end my No-Tweeting experience with happy ending? :(
Maybe I should just leave or should I stay? If I stay, I may not get those 106 lost sheep back but I will get new ones and my network will continue to expand but if I leave *sighs* my network may come crashing X_X.
