Ethereal Music: My Top 7

I feel am in Ether. What's Ether? Actually the question should be "where is Ether?" It a place deep airy place in my mind that I retreat into when I meditate and have those out of the world floaty floaty thoughts. Here are my Top 7 song for the last week in random order.




1. Imogen Heap - Hide and Seek
This accapella song just gets to me in a very special way, most especially the part she sings "watcha say". Like am so much into a song with no beats! How amazing. Unfortunately, all her other songs don't appeal to me.

2. Maazid feat. Joy - Merry Go Round
I never get tired of this song, it has been my consolation when my ship sail through dire straights. The fact that Maazid is in my school just makes the song closer to my situation. I don't know the dude but he sure thinks like me. Sorry this song doesn't have an album art.


3. High Society - Devil
Pheeww, this song by them Sho Baraka, Swoope and crew has repeatedly been on repeat. I must confess most of what they say is lost on me but each line of the song carries with it a high degree of potency and builds my spirit. This song drives me to try and write my own lines that carry weight.













4. Von Trap feat. Maazid - Fly Away
This song relates to almost everything I want. Wait till you download it.Check it here!










5. Owl City - I'll Meet You There
This is the height of my Ethereal taste for music. This song is a song that has never left my playlist. It is a happy song that makes me happy. God bless vintage Owl City. I always think I'll play this song when making my marriage proposal














6. Owl City - Cave In

I play this song when I feel I need to articulate my feelings. Especially at night, this song just gets me inspired. As in ehn real inspiration.












7. Da'Truth - J.I.F.E (Jesus Is For Everybody)
This song simply announces that Jesus Is For Everybody and says why.

The Tale of Roasted Maize and Sour Olives

The tale recounted is based on true events Some weeks back, on Nigeria’s Independence Day to be precise, I planned to spend the whole day indoors. That I did, I spent the day watching movies and lazying in bed. It turned out to be a quiet day all through, nothing spectacular until I received a call. An Uncle* of mine who lived in the same compound with us called me on phone and said I should meet him on his side of the house. It was about 4 pm so I trudged to his apartment, expecting to be sent on an errand. When I got there, he simply gave me a cob of roasted Maize and some Olives and that was that. It was very funny, almost awkward. I carried this funny look on my face that made his wife laugh at the situation. He just encouraged me to give it a try. I took huge bite off the cob, shaving off a large swathe of roasted Maize seeds from the cob, and then went for the Olives which turned out to be sour. Dang! The sensation is beyond description, especially when the Olive...

The First Million

It is not in doubt that the second million is easier to make than the first. In fact, many people say the first million is the hardest to make. Back then when I was passing through the unemployment phase, a mentor of mine, advised me to start small saying “ It is easier to get a job when you are engaged with a job ”. Even Corporate Mach said something similar when he wrote that “ It is easier to get a laptop when you already have a laptop ” and he wasn't talking about laptops. I am not going to talk about Tech or money. Just wanted to put it out there that I agree fully. Ever since I presented my manifesto to my beloved, to which she accepted, the greenlight I have received from young ladies has been overwhelming. A certain acquaintance of mine who took upon herself Jezebelian inclinations even went further graphically describe her desires of me. It was quite wild and I get a running stomach anytime I think about it. But that’s not the point. The point is once you break even, t...

Who did it?

Madam Shola had always been a very friendly woman ever since I knew her - which was like all my life. One of my funniest memories of her was when her humour made its finest appearance. It was a surprisingly rainy Sunday morning some Decembers ago, and we had just closed from church. My wife and I were dashing to the car hand in hand as it drizzled. "Mr and Mrs Lovebird", madam Shola called. I recognized her voice and stopped to say hello to her. "Good morning ma" "Sam, look at you! You're glowing" she exclaimed, turning to my wife she added "Mercy, you're doing a great job, I give you an A". She said using her right forefinger to make a swoosh in the air. We all laughed. First of all, my name is not Sam neither is it Samuel. Madam Shola had never called me by my name. Never. I'd gotten tired of correcting her and never bothered anymore. Sighting mercy's protruding belly she opened her mouth in mock surprise. "I see wh...
