Police palava
I cannot emphasise this enough, I hate the Nigerian police passionately!
I was furious at this point and my colleague had to step in and talked to them and eventually after delaying us for an hour, they let me and my colleage go.
*Orisirisi - yoruba word: meaning: different kinds of things.

when love isn't enough
Can we get your mind over the matter?
Lets clear your mind of the clutter,
Sit down,
Talk to me,
Look at me,
What is it?
Say it all,
I am listening.
its more than your work,
I know its another woman,
I won't bother to ask,
If she is fairer?
If her bosom made of gold?
I don't want to know.
Is she the reason,
You my lover
have suddenly become cold?
Grave cold.
Look at me,
Listen,
Don't let your eyes flutter,
Who is this Jolene?
That has turned your heart and eyes from me,
Where did I miss it?
Was it something I said?
Was it something I did?
or the things I left unsaid?
No, never!
I will not strip on the streets,
or exchange vile words with another,
To win back your heart,
or prove my love,
I know my worth,
Summon reason,
Think deeply,
And burn your lustful pangs of hunger,
Before you stray further,
let me warn you,
I'm not like the father of the prodigal,
Waiting and hoping,
Crying and praying,
I'll be long gone before
your return,
Too far away to hear your pleading call,
I would have given up on you; on us,
And moved on,
knowing fully well,
sometimes love is not enough.

It has been raining Elephants and Lions in Lagos, for the past one week.
Whenever it rains,all I can think about is Rihanna's song, It is just the Umbrella part I remember.
Enjoy!

This is a line from the very famous song of Sir Shina Peters, a Nigerian artiste.
The song was popular in the early 90's.

E go better!
Everyday I hear that word "E go better" but I donot have any hope in it any more, how long do I have to wait before e go better?
presently there is fuel scarcity,before fuel scarcity, there was fuel price increase and we all know what that means, the prices of everything including matches increases!
Transport fares doubles sometimes triple sef!
There is no light,in my house we can't pump water because PHCN no gree give us elecricity,so no water too! How can we carry on like this,how can we keep smiling and patting ourselves in the back and saying E go beta!. Asuu is on strike,some other unions are planning to go on strike soon. The BRT lane in Lagos is just creating more traffic! How can a BRT lane work on our already small roads and other forms of transport are not in place to ease the road traffic?
It is just annoying and honestly fustrating, I wan know when e go better o! because I cannot wait another X years. How long do I have to wait before E GO BETTER?

I can't find him.
My dark and handsome,
Able companinon,
He could sing to me in different tunes, different genres,
He had all the names and numbers of all my friends, family and colleagues.
He had all the birthday of all my friends and family,
He had everything I have ever needed in a phone.
I was just about to upgrade him when, last friday I searched my bag frantically and couldn't find him.
Have you seen him?
Has anybody seen him?

Ying Yang
I fell in love with the Ying Yang twins when I heard their whisper song,beautiful song.
This particular song, Dangerous, has been playing in my head all week, I love the acoustics of the guitar and the touch of Wyclef in it.
Enjoy.
