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.

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...

I Did Not Choose This

I did not choose this life This life chose me The work I do now, I do not think I am qualified in any way to do. Perhaps however I underestimate myself (something I do a lot). That I am here now means I have to remain and give my best to it. I do not despair and feel sad that I am a teacher, far from it. Many people may feel ashamed if they were in my shoes, a few other "extra sensitive" people feel ashamed on my behalf and pray I get a more rewarding job. Please, what is more rewarding than seeing a bunch of tiny tots gobbling up every word you spit out? I'm not saying it in a disgusting way. I just mean teaching is a rewarding experience and I don't regret it. I feel it is like a process that is required of me before I'm admitted into the next phase of life. Which perhaps may be parenthood. My experiences as a teacher have taught me patience, perseverance, love and how to accept feedback via non traditional channels. I've learned to repeat something over...

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...
