Chaotic light

So, I ended my 6-year long IT on the 1st of November😌. It was actually six weeks, but the supervisor in charge stretched the time in my eyes😒. *Shocks* This darn school didn't let me rest from the IT. They quickly told us to resume school 4 days later to “defend” what we claimed in our logbooks as our Industrial Training experience. But mans was unfazed. I'm always ready for sh*t like that. So I carried my white rough shirt and put it on(light no dey dey that time), and then I had to wear my favourite blazer on it to cover the shame. God no go shame us. Amen🙏 . I went to school and I bossed my defense...with little glitches by the way though. Walking out like a don from my conquest, I met my friend(ehn, not really sha. All these see and greet people for department). I sha greeted her like we used to. let me remind you that in all my previous blog posts, I've been 'singu' to stupor , and it was pretty obvious in that I never talk...

I remember being about 7 or 8 years of age when my family and I were all in my dad's Benz C class 300. There was quite a long queue of vehicles ahead of us. Typical Lagos traffic situation. We decided to buy chocolate flavoured yoghurts in that pyramid shaped pack from a hawker. The other four people in the vehicle had straws strapped to their yoghurt but mine had none. I remember the feeling. I remember feeling left out and unimportant, but I didn't open my mouth to complain. I remember too, when I was in my last year in primary school. Our class teacher decided to show us how to make Yam & Fried eggs. When we were done with the cooking, what followed was, “line up on a single file so that I'll share it. If you're not on the line, you'll not get anything”. I obediently queued. Twenty minutes down the line, literally(but pun intended), it still hadn't got to my turn to get my share of the food on a queue of not more than twenty pupils. Again, I remember fee...

Among the other big temptations that come our way everyday, there lies the hidden, albeit, very prominent one of them, the temptation to DECLARE YOUR GRANTS AS YOUR ASSET BEFORE THE PAPERWORK IS FULLY DONE. Yes I'm a Liverpool fan, and we just completed the greatest comeback of the 21st Century in the most elite football league in the world. And yes, 24 hours later Tottenham joins us to do a comeback and seal their first ever Final in the tournament's history. BUT YES, that inner sweet temptation to tell your haters that you're already winning is real for all of us...and there's no denying it. It has almost become like a pattern for many to have loads of people working against their dreams (actively or passively), then they begin to “shock the world” and prove their haters wrong, put up loathe-spiced “inspirational quotes” on their whatsapp, then they keep this good stint on for a while, then like the momentum of the pendulum that takes it to one far extreme and doesn...

Haa! More painful than 'shiing'* toe, have you ever liked someone or loved someone(depending on the gravity of dumbness) that you're 100% sure does not like you and will not, even in multiple reincarnations? My answer to my question is, Yes. My cousin. But wait, before you murder me, I was six and I didn't even know what it meant to like someone. All I remember is that, we were/are agemates and thus, she should have been suitable for me. And to state the real fact of things, many of you are in love with situations and positions that do not like you and have no good to offer you...but you keep loving up and are content to bask in this one sided love affair. Let's start with your zodiac sign. Why should your zodiac sign dictate how you live your life? *sigh* I'm Aries, but I'm not a freaking goat. I can't love the zodiac that doesn't love me, that doesn't want me to grow, that wants me to always please it, that wants me to remain static....

You know the truth we don't tell ourselves in Africa? That our sun here tans our skin even as much as we already have melanin popping. I love the sun...when I'm Lagos though, there's a good feel to it. But I don't live the whole year in Lagos, at least not for the last three years. So, have you heard of Ago-Iwoye or been there? A small town after Ijebu Ode in Ogun State? More importantly, on this discussion, have you ever been to the Permanent Site of the University situated in the town? OK, I'll explain something. I'm a sweet dark skinned guy and I love it(*pictures loading*). But do you know what it feels like to live in a place where you're black already but now the sun is spiked up to make you 'baked' as if to say, “what is already dead may never die”. And just so you'd see more clearly, it's like sprinkling alligator pepper to already spicy stew. Recently, on my friend's whatsapp status, I saw screengrabs of a book authore...
