Page views, Headaches and Dreams

I don’t know if this is even newsworthy; this blog crossed the 600 page view mark this weekend. Hurray!!! I feel very pleased, pleased that people are reading my stuff. This weekend I carried a nasty head ache from Friday to Sunday, thank God for church. I was healed! Can I get an Amen?

Aside the headaches and the 600 times my blog was viewed, other things sat in my head in random order. Like the future, my visions and dreams. I want to be a lot of things some of which are written here. However here are some of my other dreams which I will like to share with you.

Being a writer is something I have always dreamed of, writing interesting books that are subsequently made into movies. Before these books turn into movies they develop into comics so that I start seeing characters I create on t shirts, mugs, in shoprite, and on the schoolbags of Abuja school kids. One more thing, I dream of owning the t shirt company.

It wouldn’t hurt to own a mall, to this end I found time to lay out my thoughts and come up with a sketch for a mall I intend to own. Something in 3 storeys, over 20 000m2 of retail space, a cinema, game arcade and other extraordinary stuff you’ll find only in my mall or in my mind. The design is supposed to inculcate traditional architectural styles with modern impressions. For instance, sculpted pillars and columns will feature prominently as well a generous use glass. Shey you get the picture? If it’s not clear, look at this picture.

My mall should look like this, only better.

As an urbanist I also dream of opening as school of environmental design, where my crew and I will mould young Nigerians into Architects, Urban planners, Landscape artists and Engineers that would be creative, ingenious and design sustainable environments. I believe creativity is inhibited by the way we are presently taught our disciplines so am on a mission to free Nigerian kids from the shackles of imposed archaic ideas.
I also think of running a special effects company, where we do digital arts, dope Photoshop designs, special effects, and probably do one correct 3D animation. Something like Despicable Me or Megamind. Maybe we’ll call it “Naija avengers” or something worse and feature Richard Mofe Damijo, Zack Orji and Omotola as voice actors.

Other things I dream of doing include: being a rapper (being shy of the Mic is killing that), becoming a venture capitalist so that I can support young IT entrepreneurs (I like to call them ITpreneurs), sitting on the board of several blue chip Nigerian companies, becoming a millionaire, and becoming President.
Having a family; I dream about that a few times. A pretty wife, fine children that resemble me in fine-ness grow up to be godly like me- yes. I dream and think about this too!

Ok. This is the point I have to wake up and work up to my dreams.

Happy Monday!

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...

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...

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...
