Day Walker

I really love music, in fact I am currently writing some rock song. I call it “Day walker”, it is actually a cover song, and you guessed right, it’s an Owl City cover song. Am 50% done with the writing, if it turns out real cool I may think of recording it eventually. By the way, I’m in need of some help in writing a verse of the song, if you have experience in song writing and you are interested you can kindly hit me and save a bro.
The song is not about

Money, Sex, A woman’s behind, Booze.

The above is the summary of hit tracks these days. I for one am sick of hearing sex maniacs on the radio all the time. Most of the time the tracks they play on the radio are highly perverse and I wonder what children are expected to do. Oh, it’s such music that is regularly played at children’s parties and similar events. I complained to a friend on how empty and perverse lyrics are these days and he told me all that matters is the beat. True, but why must it be always on the same old sex songs?
The same thing we see in music videos. Scantily clad ladies wriggling and writhing, hopping about.  I recently saw one in which a lady there was humping a range rover. I just wonder how kids of these days will cope with the pressure. The society is highly sexual, in fact too sexually charged. I suspect this could be part reason why molestations are on the increase in the country. Sometimes these videos are shown during the family belt hours. Kai, most of the videos are plain R Rated. Sometimes a song is clean, watch the video bam! It’s very nasty.

I nearly forgot, if it’s not money, sex or booze it is weed. Many singers now sing about drugs and subtly encourage their fans to indulge, however whenever they are interviewed they advise their fans to avoid drugs.
If you are in doubt, call a bunch of hungry wannabe rappers to the studio and hear what they’ll say. Just be prepared to be regaled about their great awesomeness, and how rich they are. Yes, the hungry boys are going to tell you they are rich. Heck I think I am one of the greatest and most awesome, but I don’t go about disturbing people about it, have I shoved it down your throats? No!

Don’t get me wrong, am not a fan of the “every song should teach you something” school of thought. There were songs we were taught in Primary school that taught us nothing really. Ok, some of those songs taught us how to speak English properly. If every song taught us life lessons existence would be a dreary classroom. Inasmuch as songs draw us closer to God, teach us about life and are teachers of culture (especially tribal songs), I still believe not every song should be a lesson of life. I have heard some songs that describe a sky dive beautifully others describe something as insignificant as a visit to the dentist and made beautiful music out of it.

Expect the lyrics to "day walker" song to be out soon.

Gospel music all the way, Owl City music all the way, Imagine Dragons all the way.

Audu and the Interesting Tale of 12 Mudus of Rice

The events detailed below were as told to me by Audu. I met Audu when I boarded his bus from Nasarawa Eggon to Lafia sometime this year. "God is always on the side of the Righteous" Audu declared as he shifted gears. "Let me give you a story to buttress my point" he added. I knew an interesting story was about to be spilled so I leaned back on my seat and turned my face towards him. A certain woman in Lafia had given Audu a bag containing rice to deliver to her sister in Nasarawa Eggon. She had paid him and had given Audu her sister's phone number so he could call when he arrived at Nasarawa Eggon. The journey between Nasarawa Eggon and Lafia is short. At most it takes 20 minutes, Reckless drivers do the trip in 12.  Upon arrival, Audu called the recipient and then arranged to meet. He then proceeded to get some rest, the recipient of the rice was going to come and meet him as he rested from his labors. Not long afterward a woman came and asked for the rice that...

Opportune Time

 I’ve always been fascinated by the concepts of chronos and kairos . Chronos refers to time that passes in a sequential, linear manner, while kairos is the opportune moment for something to happen. Many speakers and writers have shared a lot about this topic, and I’ve learned so much from them. From my personal experience, I’ve seen how missing these opportune moments can have a serious impact. The lessons I’ve learned are: You may never know when the opportune moment will come, so prepare yourself well. The opportune moment often comes in disguise, so always be on your best behaviour. Don’t make decisions lightly or carelessly. If you miss the moment once, learn from it and don’t repeat the same mistake. In conclusion, kairos can change the course of your life, but only if you’re ready for it. Time waits for no one, and the opportunities we’re given don’t always announce themselves. So, stay alert, work hard, and be prepared to seize that moment when it comes. Take action toda...

Nigerian banks: So much hype, so little groundwork.

This events chronicled herein truly occurred as the world spun past this morning. Today I took it upon myself to pay up all individuals and groups I was indebted to. This involved visiting three big time Nigerian banks. These transactions which could have simply been carried out with my PC, had to be done the old school way because online transactions are not common (no one I know has ever used the system), hence it could n''t be trusted. Aside the long queues and the ages it took to get served, these banks are are quite in contrast with what you'd see in the slick adverts on CNN or NTA (Nigerian Banks do ads on CNN). The staff are not that friendly, and you can waste a lot of productive time just waiting for your turn ( I kill time watching TV whenever I visit a bank) In one of the Banks I visited, (this bank boasts of ''Pan- African ess'' ) the bulk room where I went to pay in money was desecrated with graffiti on the side boards. Yes! Graffiti, scr...
