The Year for The Awesome!




This is the first post for this year, don't mind me I took a long hiatus but am back for good. New Year new habits am never going to run off like that again. This New year looks promising and am sure there is never going to be a dull moment. That said have a look why I say so

I will be graduating from the University this year, it is something I look forward to with mixed feelings. Joy of the stress ending vs the feeling of not experiencing enough action. Sometimes I just wonder where I had been in the past four years. Closely tied to graduation is the issue of a Final Year Project aka Thesis or Dissertation. I still haven't concluded on the topic I want to research upon, and the thoughts of crunching numbers and grinding stats send shivers down my spine. However, you will be kept abreast of my how I will slay the beast. After all it was to chronicle the events of my last year in school that I started my blog. So sit back and subscribe and follow me as I go through it all.

It's also this year am going for my National Youth Service! Uhm am not so sure, I think it may be next year. If its this year then this year is going to be loaded. I wonder which end of the world they will post me to (that is if I am to serve this year).

It is also this year my friend and I are going to formally launch our company, I feel excited about it. I have been reading a lot about having a successful business, hence those posts about business. I guess time will soon come to put it into practice.

On a social front, I feel its this year I will put my soul into relationships, caring about my friend, family etc and showing them I do in the normal way.

I have a feeling this year is going to be awesome for us, I don't know about you but I know its going to be real awesome. It is because of this I named this year the year of the "awesome". If you are awesome then it is your year.

Happy New Year


PS I forgot to add; some of my short stories will be out for publication this year too.

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...
