The Real Me (Pt 2)

Here's the concluding part of my last post.
Fun: The real me is fun loving and easy going. I am not the type that takes life issues too too serious. This may appear shocking to you if you know me, but be rest assured it is the truth. I am all for having a good fun-filled time (all the time). I just wonder how those living the uptight life do it. Sadly, a lot of my pals are losing the fun element. They are getting all 'grown up'. I guess the task of rescue falls upon my shoulders.

It is my goal to live a life of happiness, nothing is going to stand in my way, not education, not the pursuit of success, not even the paper chase. What does happiness even mean? To you, to me? Happiness to me is the joy that comes with the contentment that comes with living in the fulfillment of my God-given destiny. Are you still with me? This is the summary of the matter:

"My main ambition in life is to be happy, to make God happy, and to spread happiness. Everything else I do is like a hobby."

This is what differentiates me from every me-wannabe.

In conclusion, I will seize this opportunity to still flog this overflogged issue: You are the best version of you there can be. Nobody can be as you as you, take the you that you are and make the best out of it. 

Salam

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...

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...
