GARRI CAKE

I walked from my dorm room to class, I was too tired and I had not yet finished my Intro Tech homework. I would do some work during morning prep before going for assembly. I got to the door of my class and opened it, I was greeted with something flying in my direction, the sticky and moist paste was all over my body and I dripped from head to toe, my books were stained on the covers with whatever it was that was flung on me. “Happy Birthday” my classmates screamed out loud laughing. I tried to find the humor in the situation but honestly it wasn’t funny and to make matters worse, it wasn’t even my birthday. “It’s not my birthday and what it is this al over my body?” I asked in disgust as I wiped what looked like garri flakes and Kellogg’s cornflakes off my body. “What do you mean by its not your birthday?” asked  Linda, one of my classmates. “My birthday is tomorrow not today, tomorrow is the 16 th ” I said. There was a puzzled look on their faces. I was not sure why? They were pro...

AN EXCERPT FROM AN UPCOMING BOOK.....

PROLOGUE The ringing phone woke me up. I looked at the time, it was 3. 14 am and I wondered who would be calling me around this time of the day. My friends won’t even think of calling me at this time. I let the phone ring twice again before I lazily picked up the phone. “Hello: I began; my voice was still heavy with sleep. “Hey, it’s me Chanel” the caller responded hysterically. I shook my head and was beginning to feel a little bit irritated. Chanel is my younger sister Nicole’s friend. Why in the world would she call me at this time of the day? Doesn’t she know her friend’s number or what? “What is it Chanel, do you know what time it is?” I said a little irritated and angry. “Nadine, it’s about Nicole.” Chanel blurted out, she sounded like she was about to cry. “What about Nicole, if she is broke I can’t help her, if ……” I began and got cut off by Chanel. “No, she is unconscious, she was found unconscious at her apartment, she is in a critical condition, I don’t know w...

FLAVOR NABANIA CONCERT. NOV 25 2011

Image
Flavor Nabania came to spend Thanksgiving with Bay Area California Nigerians. He performed on Friday November 25Th 2011 at the New Caribbean City on 1408 Webster Street Oakland. He brought his Live Band with him and it was a very good performance. He was brought to perform in the Bay Area courtesy of Sky Concepts and Royal Entertainment. His side act for the night was Filon Jay who is also an upcoming artist and a former band member for Flavour Nabania.   There was a pretty good turn out of people despite the fact that it was Thanksgiving but also because it was Flavour Nabania. Thankfully everything went hitch free. There was a moment of silence for “Samantha Rose” who would have been up on stage dancing that night with Filon Jay but was involved in a car crash that claimed her life. Special Thanks to Sky Concepts for bringing and hosting Flavour Nabania. Royal Entertainment for hosting and the promotion of the concert. DJ Jay Hits, DJ Tunde and DJ Burt for spinning great tu...

TWENTIES GIRL

Image
Hmm!!!  I have been away from the blog for weeks studying and doing certain improvements but while i was engrossed in those things i spent time hibernrating reading a book by Sophie Kinsella called Twenties girl.... It is about a young girl called Lara who was visited by her Great Aunt's ghost during the funeral. She apperared to her in form of a young lady in her twenties and only Lara could see her and hear her (even though Sadie screamed in other peoples ears and it seemed like it was a voice in their head), she was in search of her diamond necklace and Lara had to delay he funeral because her Great Aunt Sadie's spirit would not rest without the necklace. Sadie the ghost became a guardian angel and helped Lara solve some of her own problems. A very good read. Too many thumbs up

JOINT ACCOUNT FOR COUPLES, YES, NO, RED FLAG

Image
My coworker who has been married for four months asked me this question about a week ago. "If you were married,would you have a joint account with your spouse?" Well to respond to that, the only reason why i would have a joint account with my spouse is to have the account to pay bills and run the household such as buy the kids clothes, fix broken stuff and many other household expense. I am a firm believer of being a spouse that complements and not just completes. Before marriage we both ran separate accounts and managed the money separately. Getting married should not mean that your money gets married too, you dont have to lose your sense of individuality, it means that you and your spouse can create a wholesome relationship. Money can be a problem too, too much of it and too little of it can bring about both jealousy and self esteem problems. I also advice young couples not to consolidate their studnt loans from college together for example, Susan married Joe, she went ...
