<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve been off this blog for waaaay too long!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But I’m back again thanks to people who keep attacking me
for not blogging anymore and to that writer’s itch that needed to be scratched.
I’ve always been a writer and no matter how much I delve into other things, my
first passion will never elude me.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Talking about the itch that I’m now scratching, there is a pressing
matter which precipitated my coming up on my blog today.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It has to do with carrots.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Yeah….Carrots.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It started on a Monday (May Day precisely) when I was
driving home from an outing. Along one of the network neighborhood roads that
led to the estate where I lived, I saw this Hausa guy selling carrots,
cucumbers and other types of vegetables. I actually wanted carrots as I had a
plan in which I was adding vegetables to my diet.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />I initially thought of buying in large quantity but when I
thought of the fact that some of it might spoil and waste away as I wouldn’t be
able to finish it on time, I opted for just a small batch that cost me just
N100.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
After dinner that evening, I chewed on two small carrots before
relaxing to go through my mails and social pages. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Sometime later that evening my body began to itch me. First
it started with specific sensitive parts then spread to various areas all over
my body. Then I noticed that the itching areas on my skin were partially
swollen; it was clear I was having an allergic reaction to something.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The itching was bad.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I tried to find out what was behind the itching and started
tracing my steps back. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Premier Cool soap I used in the bathroom when I took my
shower that evening was suspect. I sniffed it carefully and compared it with
another I just bought from another shop.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The newer soap smelled stronger and its wrapping design had
some differences to the suspected one. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Could it be that this soap was expired
or fake?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I threw away the soap and decided to use the new one
instead.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Meanwhile, the itching continued and I did all manner of
things to quell it – rub my body with palm oil, bath again and cover myself in
medicated dusting powder. The itching was driving me nuts.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It wrecked my sleep that night but subsided by the following
morning.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Getting ready for work the next day, I packed all I needed –
the laptop in its bag along with my lunch bag which consisted of breakfast and
lunch and a couple of fat carrots (I usually leave early for work so I don’t
eat till I get to the office).<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I had a hearty breakfast, ate my carrots and got to work.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Somewhere in the middle of work, my arms began to itch.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I suddenly realized that the strange reaction had started
again. The swellings appeared all over my arms and I was confused.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why was this thing relapsing? I thought it was gone….<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My mind raced trying to figure it out…it couldn’t have been
the new soap. If it was I should have reacted not long after my bath. Besides I
had changed the soap…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then it hit me…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Carrots!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was after I consumed the damned things that I started
having these reactions minutes later.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The carrots must have been contaminated with some chemical
during planting, harvesting or preservation.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Not long ago someone warned me that I should be wary of just
buying apples as it was said to have been discovered that people use wax to
either preserve or ripen it. I don’t
know how they do that but </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I must say that the thought of it made me start
thinking twice about buying vegetables.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It wasn’t that I didn’t rinse the carrot before eating it…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Maybe because I didn’t wash it in well enough and in salty water…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Whatever the case, be careful what you consume, even if it’s
organic, wash PROPERLY with water and if necessary salty water. In my own case,
I just passed the carrots under running tap, rubbed it through a few times
before eating it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well…I’m staying away from carrots for a while…that itchy
experience has scarred my memories<o:p></o:p></div>

I was wrapping up some late night work at my office at about
after 10pm when I got the news that a Diesel tanker had had an accident very
near the office. I had the opportunity of doing a report that night – talking to
the firefighters and rescue workers that had arrived on the scene finding out
details et al but I had a snagging headache, a terrible cold and I needed to get
home and sleep badly, so I just drove past the scene of the accident – the same
area I had passed around 9pm when I came back to the office that night. Talk
about God’s saving grace.<br />

The incident happened at Anthony-Oke turnaround junction;
the axis where you connect the Gbagada express to Anthony Busstop of Ikorodu road.
Two prominent schools are situated in that location – Greensprings School and
Corona School. </div>

The last time a tanker burst and let out its petrol all over the
place, Greensprings School had to evacuate all its students away from the
danger zone as the petrol flowed into the school environs. They were kept at a
safe location till it was all contained (You can read
the report on that incident<b> <a href="http://thekushchronicles.blogspot.com.ng/2012/11/a-close-shave-with-fueled-death.html" target="_blank">here</a>)</b>.

<div class="MsoNormal">
The tanker had rolled down the valley that led into a nearby
estate and crashed through the wall of Corona School, leaking its content
into the school compound. What a pity that at a time when fuel scarcity is everywhere, a tanker lies here leaking away this precious cargo, giving area boys a field day to scoop the liquid booty<br />
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was at the scene briefly this morning to capture shots. By
that time the tanker had been moved out of the Corona School compound and
situated nearby. It was still leaking diesel and area boys were all over the
place with kegs scooping as much as they could. Police, LASTMA and firefighters
were up and about controlling the situation. </div>

I must commend the fire service on
their quick response, they had been there since the night before working to
keep danger at bay. The police as usual were there supposedly securing the
place but then I saw one of them accost of woman taking pictures and taking her
to meet his boss…hmm…Naija Police sha…I wonder for what reason.</div>

One other thing I saw about the scene where people interviewing rescuers with phones and audio recorders - definitely bloggers who wanted to capture information for their sites no doubt. It got me wondering...maybe if I had done some coverage last night, I might have had the upper hand with night-time pictures of the accident still very fresh before the tanker was moves this morning...I guiess blogging breaking news does have its sacrifices.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
It was around 8.30pm and I just couldn’t to get my surf on. I
had just bought recharge cards for my Spectranet modem and was eager to get
back online and surf the web. As a person that needed to be online a lot of the
time, I had always done my browsing either via my phone, office or through a
small dongle I had gotten from Etisalat. While the office offered enough
bandwidth that I could only get to use when I was free, the other two were
limiting in a number of ways, so when I got wind of the services being offered
by Spectranet and its costs, I was excited that it was worth having.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Before, I always ignored major internet providers because of
how costly their services and subscriptions were; I wasn’t ready to pay
anything above N3,000 but this company called Spectranet came into the picture
with the offer to give me 20 gig worth of browsing data for a month at N4k
which would be active from 6pm to 8am on weekdays and 24 hours on weekends and
public holidays.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Compared to other Internet providers like Swift and Smile,
this was a good and affordable offer and so I got me a Spectranet modem which came
with free 20 gig due to a promo. My first experience with their service was exhilarating;
I was wowed by the sweet flow of bandwidth, the instant response from page to
page….<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then the day came when I reloaded a fresh card of the usual N4,000
for another subscription and got a response that told me the voucher loaded was
insufficient. I tried again and got the same thing. I opened the site afresh,
used a different browser, refreshed and refreshed…the fund was said to still
not be efficient. I then went to their website to check the listings and lo and
behold what was N4,000 had now been changed to N7,500, almost double the cost!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was enraged. What kind of witchery is this?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why the increase in rates? They are currently running some
deceptive Ad in which they talk some mumbo jumbo about unified tariff plans part
of their effort to ensure everyone has access to affordable and faster

Reading through the post, I was shocked at the rubbish and
lies painted on the site. The Head of Marketing, Mike Ogor was making
blasphemous utterances like: <o:p></o:p></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>The unified tariff is
another way of telling our subscribers that they matter to us.</i></blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Really? We matter? That’s why you’re ripping us off? Liar…</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>’We understand the
needs of our customers and subscribers and have kept improving our services to
offer the best internet solutions in the country. ‘’The new tariff plan has
been designed in such a way that suits individual pockets irrespective of their
income and status-whether they are students, professionals, family, or business
enterprise owners’’.</i></blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why? Why all these lies and fabrication?<o:p></o:p></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>‘’when a customer buys

extra10GB monthly and unlimited free night browsing and this will go a long way

<div class="MsoNormal">
This is quite confusing. While I saw nothing like extra 10GB
on my own subscription, who cares about free night browsing when my plan
already covers overnight? <o:p></o:p></div>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">

videos online require a fast internet connection.</i></blockquote>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This is another lie because just as their rates went up, their

Right now, I'm seriously considering switching to another Internet provider. There's no difference between their cost and that of Spectranet's.<br />
<br />
The most annoying thing is that I just recommeded Spectranet to my parents recently. No I have to take back my word!<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was yesterday afternoon and I was in the studio at my
office discussing with one of our contract sound engineers when Bunmi, one of
our Account Management ladies walked in to sort out a couple of issues with the production unit.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now Bunmi wasn’t just a corporate employee but also a part
time disc jockey who goes by the name DJ Baldie. Her trademark look is her
smooth clean shaven head which sits well with her stage name.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Bunmi is a heavily social person and always liked to groove
so I wasn’t surprised when she walked up to Daniel the Sound Engineer/Producer
and jokingly asked if he could produce a single for her. We all laughed
wondering what on earth she was getting at until she decided to strut what she
could do and told Daniel to play Asa’s ‘Jailer’ on the keyboards while she covered
the song.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Daniel hit the keys and Bunmi started singing…and she wowed
everybody!<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Then it suddenly hit me – Bunmi is a DJ and she can sing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Okay…where am I going with this?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It’s no longer a new thing to see so-called popular Naija
DJs releasing videos of singles and crediting themselves as performers or
artistes that own the track.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This trend apparently started eight years back with DJ Jimmy
Jatt’s release of the track ‘Stylee’ which featured Tuface, Mode 9 and Elajoe.
Watching the video or listening to the music you could feel Tuface dominate the
song followed by Mode 9 and Elajoe. The element that showed that DJ Jimmy Jatt
was relelvant was his ad-libbing call-outs, intermittent disc scratching and
outro at the end of the song.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/U6YQV-xvfNw" width="420"></iframe></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So if we ask the question, was DJ Jimmy Jatt relevant in the
song? Maybe…if we at look at the call outs and most importantly the
disc-scratching, then he did make himself relevant.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But how long will that be evident?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Years later Jatt would release more singles or videos where
his elements of relevance are reduced to just calls-outs. No more
disc-scratching. Other DJs would eventually spring up to do the same and today
we have them all over the place in the likes of DJ Neptune, DJ Xclusive, DJ
Spinall, DJ Shabsy, DJ Enimoney, DJ Humility to mention a few.</div>

I’m still struggling to understand WHY DJs release these
videos and singles…okay, it’s weird saying they ‘released’ when in actual fact
they are not the real talent performing the songs being released. Just check
out any video credited to any Naija DJ, you’ll discover that they end up being
the ‘waka-pass’, 'background dancer’ or ‘background demonstrator’. Imagine if
you had to perform the track before a live audience, then you would need the
artistes you used to come on board making it look like they own the song and
not you.</div>

Okay, let’s raise the argument that our DJs’ relevance would
be in contributing to the song’s beat (as some DJs happen to be creating beats
as well – wow!).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So what about the ace producers who are not DJs but are the
brains behind beats and instrumentation for songs that become a hit? Unless the
producer himself also performs like you see in the case of Don Jazzy and
Masterkraft (Yes! I said Masterkraft…check him out on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQxAwMHCAt8" target="_blank">Coke Studio </a>and the <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pnIHRALC2xg" target="_blank">video‘Indomie’</a>), most of them don’t dabble into unnecessary showcasing like these DJs.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Me thinks DJs dropping stuff and crediting themselves when
they aren’t the artiste will never shine like artistes unless they train
themselves to do something new that will require a performance. Take for
example <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DJ_Quik" target="_blank">American DJ Quik</a> who is not just a DJ but also a producer, actor and
rap artiste – now that’s serious relevance. We’re in an age where if you don’t
upgrade yourself, you’re gonna fade into obscurity. It’s not by appearing in a
video that makes you relevant or by crediting your name to a work that shines
on an artiste and not you.</div>

Below is the excerpt of the report from Sky News:</div>

A Michigan felon tried to sing his way out of trouble at his sentencing on a weapons charge, offering a musical apology inspired by singer Adele's Hello.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Brian Earl Taylor, 21, adapted the hit ballad to express his contrition to the judge at Washtenaw County Trial Court, reports the Ann Arbor News.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
"Hello there, your honour," Taylor sang in the 10 March exchange, which was recorded on courtroom video.</div>

I can't say the Judge was harsh...afterall she had a job to do and she had to do it without obstructing justice. I just hope her eventual sentencing was not because he is black...with all the racial tension sprouting about the place in the US.Afronutshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15566418094230419342noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6443553441086250699.post-20028995865447758162016-03-18T09:15:00.000+01:002016-03-18T09:15:19.690+01:00The Pretty Female Bosses in the Nigerian Police<div class="MsoNormal">

series titled <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KBDieDcYrCY" target="_blank">2four7</a></b>and just as I
was expectant of anything to catch my fancy, something finally did. It was the
female police boss in the movie.<o:p></o:p></div>

Now, I digress to explain – I was actually watching the
trailer to check out the quality of the production. I’m the kind of film buff
who doesn’t just watch movies for the sake of entertainment but rather for a critical analysisof its level of
production and try to figure out what must have gone on behind the scenes. I
also take time to study the actors' performances and characterization (well, since I also
review movies from time to time, that’s expected of me). It was in the process
of taking in the characters that the role of the female police boss (I can’t
figure out the name of the actress that played that role right now) caught my attention.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It wasn’t her acting performance that got my undivided focus but the fact that she was a pretty looking police boss in uniform. At
that moment my mind went into a subconscious search just processing the image
and suddenly another image or thought popped up in the recesses of my mind:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This policewoman in uniform looks pretty – like Ngozi
Braide, former Lagos State public relations officer, a real life counterpart
who also looked good in uniform.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I remember the first time I saw Deputy Superintendent
Braide on TV, I was surprised that the police force could
have fine looking women. Most of the ones I had seen on Lagos streets were usually
rugged looking.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Deputy Superintendent Ngozi Braide was finally <a href="http://dailypost.ng/2014/09/27/lagos-police-pro-ngozi-braide-redeployed/" target="_blank">redeployed</a>
from Lagos following <a href="http://saharareporters.com/2013/03/01/lagos-police-spokesperson-ngozi-briade-receives-query-over-public-fight-superior-officer" target="_blank">an embarrassing fight between her and a Superiorofficer</a>-an event that resulted in her threatening to stab her senior.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I used to have this funny assumption that anybody that is
pretty and attractive is likely to have some scary flaw. It turns out I was
somewhat right in the case of Braide as some aproko blog spilled the beans on
her lifestyle and personality. The revelations were so shocking and
they seemed to explain the kind of nature that would lead her to attack a
senior colleague. It must have been a sensitive story that could put a blogger in trouble because it’s no longer on
the <a href="http://www.aproko247.com/2013/12/02/revealed-reckless-lifestyle-of-lagos-police-pro-ngozi-braide/" target="_blank">gossip site</a> that reported it. However, someone copied the info and
<a href="http://www.nairaland.com/1539568/revealed-reckless-lifestyle-lagos-police/1" target="_blank">posted it on the Naiiraland forum</a>.<br />
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The pretty police boss in the TV series was pretty and fair
complexioned like Ngozi. I could almost say the writers may have adopted the Ngozi-look
for the character but then I decided against that when another Pretty
policewoman boss that looked way better than braide (my opinion oh!) and looked a bit more like the TV drama cop surfaced recently
in the news.<o:p></o:p></div>

It was just about after 3pm at work and my office colleagues
were using their free-time to surf the web for information or updates
pertaining to the industry or entertainment when a female colleague (who’s
equally a Youth Corp member doing her Youth service in our company) gasped at
her computer screen and called everybody’s attention to the crazy thing she had
just come across.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It was a news item or rather a gossip bit on some blog that
talked about a female Youth Corp member who had gotten pregnant for a JSS 1 or
2 boy in a secondary school. It originated as a tweet and became blog gossip.<o:p></o:p></div>

a friend but cut of the face area so you couldn’t say who it was. <a href="http://www.informationng.com/2016/02/unbelievable-jss-2-student-impregnates-female-corper-in-osun-state-photo.html" target="_blank">Informationng.com</a>
also did likewise. <a href="https://www.naij.com/719941-unbelievable-female-corper-gets-pregnant-jss-2-male-student-osun.html" target="_blank">Naij.com</a> put up the NYSC logo only…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Okay let me even move closer to home and reference someone
from Nigeria – Vic O. He is that so-called artiste who everybody knows by now
and his popularity is gathered from the negative publicity he has received due
to the nature of his vocal delivery and his music. If you don’t know Vic O, you
need to check out his <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/vicodu" target="_blank">videos and songs</a> to know what I’m talking about.</div>

Now moving on to the reason for this post – American based rapper, Princess Vitarah recently released a music video on Youtube titled <b><i>Nigerian P*ssy</i>. </b>She even
included the lyrics to the song in the video description area. The song, as
the title already precludes, is explicit and talks about nothing but the
vagina, particularly the Nigerian Vagina (Hian! I feel weird talking about
this). It equally berates its Ghanaian counterpart. <o:p></o:p></div>

I must confess that I was caught off-balance by this video.
In a world where we are still trying to live with controversial figures like
Maheeda and Afrocandy who are fond of shocking us unexpectedly with risqué material,
Princess Vitarah springs up with this lewd presentation of rap music that’s reminiscent
of the likes of Nicki Minaj’s <b><i>Anaconda.</i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Thank God the video did not show nudity or suggest it in
anyway as that would have exploded to another level. Some people have started
placing her in competition with Maheeda which I don’t think is necessary as
Maheeda ‘shows the lewdness’ while Princess Vitarah ‘Speaks the lewdness’.
Those are two different things.<o:p></o:p></div>

she had dropped two other videos before but probably never gotten all that popular
until this controversial one that is catching attention like wildfire. The
reactions to her video are mixed; many are condemning her on social media for doing such,
others are commending her and somewhat feeling the song.<o:p></o:p></div>

I wouldn’t commend this because I see it as an attempt to
just blow by any means irrespective of whether it’s good or bad. I see this as
what desperate artistes do when they’ve run out of options – like the way they
do with music videos today when there’s no tangible concept; just have women
twerking while the main act sings and cavorts about.</div>

Watching the video, I noticed a white kid wearing a T-shirt with something like ‘Nigerian’ written on it was dancing all about . What the hell
is a little kid doing in this video that’s glorifying the lucrativeness of the
female genitalia? This boy who was barely into his teens (probably 5 or 6 years old) was in most of the scenes, especially the opening scene as though he was some kind of special eye-candy. I was forced to scream out on the Youtube comment page in the fashion

There's also this white dude that was doing a background dancer (or is it a waka-pass?) in dark shades and danshiki who ecstactically choruses the part that says <i>'Naija P**y is the tightest' </i>as though he was a part of some insane occultic orgy experience.

The video is not spectacular anyway and was obviously low budget - if there was any budget at all. If I muted it and just
watched the visuals, I wouldn’t be ‘wowed’ and would never have imagined that it’s
talking about the female private part. In terms of her ability to deliver
lyrics, Princess Vitarah sounds way better than Vic O. She has potential but
she obviously doesn’t have lyrics. Too bad she went this route because once you
start like this, you have to keep doing it to stay where it’s getting you. And
believe you me, the juice eventually runs out.<o:p></o:p></div>

So, I wasn’t buggered about the naira devaluation for a

Akara – that traditional fried bean cake that’s a darling to
the appetite of every Nigerian, the one true snack or meal that brings Nigerians
of all classes together. When you happen upon an Akara joint which in many
cases is just a woman sitting at some street corner frying and selling Akara,
you get to see customers from all these different categories. Akara has this strong
uncontestable and distinct aroma that even puff-puff (another Nigerian
favourite) cannot rival. If you ever buy it and want to hide it from colleagues
at work, the sweet smell will snitch on you; everyone will notice Akara is in
the house.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Okay, so before I wander too far, I was talking about naira
falling…what has this got to do with Akara?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Well, there’s this buoyant Akara Joint not far from my
office where I work and its owned by this Calabar or Igbo woman and her friend
or sister. They sell both Akara and Pap of which some people eat right there (there
were benches and tables for that purpose) while others buy take-away to their
offices.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
The Akara was usually sold 10 naira per piece. This meant
that with 50 naira, you could buy 5 pieces; enough to eat with bread or with
any other accompanying food item that goes well with Akara. So people were
shocked when they got there one morning to hear that Akara was now 3 for 50
naira.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Why?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because dollar now costs more.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We (the customers) all began to question how on earth the
dollar is affecting Akara, one of the cheapest things anybody could buy and eat.
It became a fact-finding discussion and we learnt that it was the groundnut oil
being used to fry that had gone up in cost. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I was baffled. Groundnut oil? Are we still importing
groundnut oil? Don’t we make that here in Naija?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
So we threw up another suggestion – why not use palm oil
then? Isn’t that made in Nigeria?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The suggestion lingered in the air like a rhetoric as no one
answered it.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Later on I got wind of another info that made me fall flat - that we import beans and that the cost of beans had gone up. For real? I thought we grew beans? As at the time of writing this I cannot yet confirm the truth of this info though.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Meanwhile, there’s another Akara joint nearer to my office
which is the off-shoot of a small Moimoi specialist restaurant called <i style="font-weight: bold;">No Left Overs</i> which
suddenly changed their own price of 10 naira per piece of Akara to 50 naira per
3 pieces last year before the dollar issue arose. They had been having high
patronage but for some reason they decided to hike the price and reduce the
size of the Akara. This made me and many other customers shift to patronizing
the Calabar woman whose Akara was way bigger and sold for 10 naira per piece.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Now the naira has fallen and she has switched the price too.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Anyway, the Calabar woman is still preferable because she
managed to make the Akara slightly bigger since its now 50 naira per 3 piece. I’m
now wondering what <b><i>No Left Overs </i></b>will end up doing about its Akara, now that
dollar has gone up. Will they start selling it 20 naira per piece?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As for me, I’m still baffled…I still don’t get how Akara is
affected by the dollar.<o:p></o:p></div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, and smoother than oil is her speech.” (Proverbs 4:3)</blockquote>
<br />
Before there was a folk singer by that name, James Taylor was a professor of preaching. This veteran teacher of preachers held forth in classrooms at New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary for many years. One day, in a room filled with young preacher boys, Dr. Taylor cautioned us about the temptations we would be facing.<br />
<br />
“The day will come when a woman will sit in your office and proposition you. She will make herself available to you sexually. If your marriage is in trouble or if you are not up-to-date in your relationship with your Lord, you could get in big trouble fast.”<br />
<br />
I raised my hand. “Dr. Taylor,” I said, “do you really believe that every one of us in this room will face this?” My mind was incapable of imagining a scenario in which a woman–any woman–would sit in a pastor’s office and try to seduce him.<br />
<br />
“Yes, I do,” he said. “Even you, McKeever.”<br />
<br />
That got a laugh.<br />
<br />
I lived to see that day. (Fifteen years after she sat in my office making herself available to the young preacher, while preaching in another state, I spotted that woman and her husband–the same husband whose antics had given her cause to seek my counsel originally–in the congregation. I was thankful I had gotten this thing right in my office that day.)<br />
<br />
The writer of Proverbs tried to do the same thing Dr. Taylor did for us in seminary that day: prepare the young lad for what he would be facing down the road.<br />
<br />
“My son, give attention to my wisdom, incline your ear to my understanding;<br />
<br />
That you may observe discretion, and your lips may reserve knowledge.<br />
<br />
For the lips of an adulteress drip honey, and smoother than oil is her speech; But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, sharp as a two-edged sword.<br />
<br />
Her feet go down to death, her steps lay hold of Sheol. She does not ponder the path of life; her ways are unstable, she does not know it.” (Proverbs 4:1-6)<br />
<br />
Many pastors have paid the ultimate price for sexual sins.<br />
If temptation would tell the truth, no minister would ever succumb to its enticements. If the allurement to commit adultery would adhere to a “truth in advertising” code, the “full disclosure” would read something like this:<br />
<br />
“Subject needs to understand that by crossing this line and entering into a sexual relationship with this person, the minister will be despising His Lord, delighting the enemy, violating his marriage vows, disappointing everyone who ever believed in him from his youth until now, destroying his family, and ending his ministry..”<br />
<br />
No one would ever commit adultery if he was required to sign that!<br />
<br />
The devil, however, has no intention of ever revealing a list of side effects. Listen to him and you would think to disobey God is the way to fulfillment and happiness.<br />
<br />
The sinning minister fools himself into believing all kinds of lies, most of them originating with the one Jesus called “the father of lies” (John 8:44). He convinces himself that “I deserve this, no one will ever know, I can have all the wonderful things in my life and this forbidden fruit also,” and then, there is the clincher–“This feels so good, it can’t be wrong.”<br />
<br />
Too late does he find out the truth of the old adage, that sin will take you farther than you wanted to go, keep you longer than you wanted to stay, and cost far more than you ever intended to pay.<br />
<br />
Here are 7 women, pastor should watch out for in your ministry.<br />
<br />
<b>1) The woman who wants to be your wife.</b><br />
She is unhappily married. Her husband has disappointed her in a hundred ways. Sitting in church week after week, it occurs to her that you are everything she has ever wanted in a husband. You are kind and gracious, thoughtful and spiritual. You love the Lord and are devoted to your family. You earn a good living and you do not drink or smoke or hang out in bars. So, she fixates on you.<br />
<br />
Now, if she were rational, she would know that by seducing you–or winning you, however she would put it–all of those wonderful qualities she admires would suddenly go away: your ministry, your family, your income, the respect with which you are held in the town, your joy in life even.<br />
<br />
In most cases, she thinks clearly enough not to actually try to break up your marriage (although that has happened often enough). She merely feels a strong attraction to you and puts herself in a position for you to pick up on it. Consciously or unconsciously, she becomes a trap for the unsuspecting minister.<br />
<br />
<b>2) The woman who wants to be your mother.</b><br />
She will smother you with attention, inundate you with goodies she cooked “just because I knew you liked these,” and make life miserable for you. If you never suffered from claustrophobia before, you do now.<br />
<br />
It’s not so much that she poses a sexual danger to you as that by allowing and encouraging this attention from her, you will give occasion to gossips to ply their trade. Avoiding “the appearance of evil” is always a good principle (I Thessalonians 5:22).<br />
<br />
<b>3) The woman who wants to be your lover.</b><br />
This one has a particular allurement to the minister whose relationship with his wife has grown stale. This really is the woman the Proverb-writer describes. And, in case one wonders, I seriously doubt that Solomon wrote this. The man with 1,000 girlfriends is in no position to offer such advice as we find in Proverbs 4! (Although he surely knew the truth of it!)<br />
<br />
Such a woman seems to be amoral, without a sense of wrongness about anything she does. She justifies making herself available to the minister by statements such as: “You deserve this,” “God wants all of us to be happy, don’t you agree?” and “No one ever has to know; I certainly won’t tell.”<br />
<br />
The thing to keep in mind, pastor, is that this woman making herself so available to you with no strings attached–that’s what she says, although we know better!–does not look like a Jezebel, painted and padded and bejeweled. You will not know her by her adornments.<br />
<br />
She may be the pretty wife of a deacon, the friend of your wife, or a church member who came to you for counsel. No one would ever pick her out of a crowd as a party-girl. But she is your biggest enemy.<br />
<br />
<b>4) The woman who wants to be your best friend.</b><br />
She wants to confide in you as to who is doing what with whom in the church. She is a gossip.<br />
<br />
She wants you to (ahem) “feel free to come to me anytime you need to talk to someone.” She wants to be your counselor.<br />
<br />
In order to pull that off, her primary tactic involves a) spending a lot of time around you, perhaps volunteering in the office but more likely volunteering as your personal assistant, b) telling you intimate things about her own life, and c) asking you to unburden yourself with her.<br />
<br />
If she cannot worm her way into your life any other way, look for her to befriend your wife and begin showing up in your home on a regular basis. Unless your wife is on your team, nothing about this is good from that moment on.<br />
<br />
<b>5) The woman you want.</b><br />
There she is, the girl of your dreams. Maybe not the most beautiful woman in the world, but all things considered–her looks, her personality, her laughter, her spirituality, and a few other qualities that defy description–she is everything you ever wanted in a woman.<br />
<br />
You get all swimmy-headed around her. You wonder if she does not pick up on all the vibrations your body is sending out.<br />
<br />
There are a few problems, of course. You’re married and she’s married, for starters. And so you wisely tell yourself this can never be, that regardless of how wonderful she is, she is off-limits to you.<br />
<br />
The problem is you keep being drawn to her and thrown with her (committees, work projects, etc). Because proximity fosters intimacy, unless you do something quickly, you are a goner.<br />
<br />
In most cases, you cannot tell your wife this. You need a mentor who will be tough with you. If you have none, find yourself one now! Confide in him before you make the mistake of your life.<br />
<br />
<b>6) The woman who doesn’t know what she wants.</b><br />
In most cases, this mixed up lady has come to you for counsel, asking you to tell her what to do. You listen to her whole complex life story.<br />
<br />
Nothing about her is your ideal. You have never fantasized about her or anyone like her.<br />
<br />
So, how does she become a problem to you? By her repeated visits to your office.<br />
<br />
It’s a matter of focus. In sketching perhaps a hundred thousand people over these many years, I’ve found that everyone has a certain beauty and attractiveness about them. By focusing on the individual and not comparing them with anyone else, we can see it. In the seclusion of the counseling room, as she unburdens herself with intimate details of her life, the minister may feel emotionally drawn to her.<br />
<br />
The problem then becomes you, pastor, and not her.<br />
<br />
Pastors should almost never become professional counselors. When church members come to you for help with problems, if it cannot be solved in a session or two, refer them to a trained professional.<br />
<br />
Pastor Ed Young of Houston’s Second Baptist Church told some of us pastors once that we should not counsel at all. “All you need is for someone–man, woman, or child–to run out of the office accusing you of something, and your ministry is gone!”<br />
<br />
He’s right. Pastor Young said when someone says to him following a church service, “I need to talk to you sometime,” he says,”Let’s sit in this pew right now and talk.” It’s in public and it will be done quickly.<br />
<br />
I hate that life has come to this, but it has, and we have to deal with it.<br />
<br />
<b>7) The woman you work most closely with in ministry.</b><br />
Once again, it’s a matter of focus. The minister of worship meets with the organist (or pianist or his personal assistant or whoever) on a regular basis to plan the services. The youth minister has frequent conferences with his secretary or a young woman in the church who assists in programming. The pastor meets with his children’s director or ministry assistant or the head of the women’s ministry or the chair of his personnel or finance committee.<br />
<br />
Beware, minister. You must be proactive in heading off any possibility of a compromised situation.<br />
<br />
Billy Graham decided early in his ministry never to be alone with a woman at any time. Some might find that extreme, but say what you will, his long and very public evangelistic ministry was never tainted in the least by sexual scandal or innuendo.<br />
<br />
The most important woman in the church to you the minister.<br />
<br />
Your wife must be your lover, your intimate friend, your best adviser and strongest counselor, and your “mother” (the one who cooks your favorite dishes and is always there for you).<br />
<br />
Let the home fires get cold and you are setting yourself up for trouble, pastor. This is why the writer of Proverbs urged the young man he was mentoring to “drink water from your own cistern, and fresh water from your own well.” He says, “Let your fountain be blessed, and rejoice in the wife of your youth” (Proverbs 4:15-23).<br />
<br />
A pastor I know makes frequent mention of his wife from the pulpit. He makes it abundantly clear that he loves her dearly and, may I say, you get the impression that their intimate relationship is strong. He makes sure the church knows and supports his devotion to his wife and family, which means (among other things) that his off-time is as holy as his time in the office.<br />
<br />
When he counsels women in his office, my pastor friend takes care. The door has a small window which allows anyone to see inside. At an agreed-upon time, his assistant phones to allow him an excuse to end the session. He is not a hugger.<br />
<br />
Resist the devil by being strong in the Lord!<br />

<br />
Just as Ayo Shonaiya (if he really said it) said in the last post, it has begun!<br />
<br />
Oljumoke Orisaguna has not lactated, but they have started milking her already!<br />
<br />
Why?<br />
<br />
Apparently, people are begining to milk this poor fortunate girl for their own gains because I don't understand how you are going to get a girl who was selling bread and doesn't even speak English a few months ago to do public speaking.<br />
<br />
The even tagged her 'Motivational Speaker' on this poster. Do these guys understand what Motivational speaking entails?<br />
<br />
I say this because I have done public speaking before and I know that its important to know how to deliver speeches that won't bore your audience.<br />
<br />
Me suspects that she'd probably end up being used for window dressing or just a means of drawing crowd to the event.<br />
<br />
Is Olajumoke ready for all this? All this exposure can really backfire if not controlled. Rather than put her all out on the spot, they should be thinking of helping to school her or refine her as Sujimoto planned to do for her.<br />
<br />
Olajumoke needs prayers oh...before she falls into the wrong hands!<br />

I came across this article that featured on <a href="http://www.snitchngr.com/my-fear-for-agege-bread-seller-turned-super-model-olajumoke-ayo-shonaiya/">Snitchngr.com</a> which was said to have been written by Nigerian Film maker and promoter Ayo Shonaiya on his Facebook page. Though I was unable to find anything like that on Facebook as it was claimed to have been culled from, the piece was however interesting and insightful.<br />
<br />
The article surrounded the story of Olajumoke Orisaguna who was catapulted from grass to grace by accidentally photobombing a photo shoot being done for Rap artiste Tinie Tempah.<br />
<br />
Her story is heavily trending with serious follow-ups on her progress hitting entertainment/showbiz tabloids and blogs.<br />

</tbody></table>
In the midst of all the razzmatazz, glitz and glamour, Ayo Shonaiya fears that there may be some things that could be dangerously overlooked and I very much agree with him.<br />
<br />
There was a statement where he was said to have mentioned that in his line of work, he looks where no one else is looking. Now I liked that because its one thing I always try to do on blogosphere. I could relate with what he said very much because my line of work also had to do with working with models and artistes of all kinds from time to time. What he said was very on-point.<br />
<br />
Check out the article if you haven't read it:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
At the risk of sounding like a hater, I am genuinely nervous as I read and watch this amazing story of a bread seller, who unknowingly strolls into a Tinie Tempah photoshoot, caught the eye of photographer TY Bello, and almost overnight becomes a global talking point. I must say also, that I absolutely love it.<br />
This type of story gladdens everyone’s heart and serves as inspiration to millions of people that despite your current situation, your good fortune is just round the corner and never loses hope in life.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
But, I can’t help but look beyond the fairytale and feel a sense of apprehension at the same time. In my line of work, my job is to look where no one else is looking when it comes to negotiating contracts, maximising earning potential for talent, and pretty much protect such talent, and I pray to God there’s someone doing that for this girl. I have discovered and developed raw talent in my time, some from unknown status to superstardom.</blockquote>

I have met others half way in their progression and developed together, but one thing I’ve never done is base anything on sentiment or “eeeyah”, or “Na only Baba God o…” etc, I am sometimes the one to bring up the unpleasant reality, the reality no one understands until years later.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
But I always feel it’s best to understand the whole picture and be prepared for whatever happens next.<br />
When I saw that this Olajumoke girl couldn’t even speak or read English, my first concern was she’s going to be bewildered by a lot of things, especially in the fashion and modelling world in Nigeria. Then the sudden fame and spotlight, which often times can confuse ‘experienced’ talent. There’s also the clamour for her time, makeovers, interviews, and of course the good stuff, endorsements, jobs, goodwill offers and donations (I hear she has 2 kids already).</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I’ve seen her take pictures, holding up a Contract (which I hope has been explained to her well as she can’t read it), then the makeovers with heavy make up and lipstick (she looks nothing like the sweet girl we all fell in love with).</blockquote>

Forgive me I’m not a designer o, seeing her dressed in some shine shine outfits, I start to wonder, firstly I hope she’s getting paid well at least, and secondly, most people are only absorbing her story, as most of us don’t really know much about characteristics that suggest a great modelling career.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
I really do hope and pray that, whatever happens to Olajumoke from now on, she is well protected.<br />
The fashion and modelling industry (in Nigeria or anywhere in the world) can be the worst place you wanna be when “they” decide you’re no longer happening or trending, or worse, not useful anymore.</blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
You wanna bet that some other models are already beefing her already? And another thing, when the same people who are “tapping into her anointing” now, start to write really disgusting and hurtful comments about her (anonymously of course) on blogs because her own is now getting too much, I hope she has a strong support system in the people that really love and care for her. But for now, Olajumoke ride on and God bless you.<br />
Anyway, that’s my own. Me too I need to go and sell my proverbial bread in the market.” - <i>From Facebook acct of Ayo Shonaiya </i> </blockquote>
<br />
Like I said earlier, this article was claimed to have featured on Ayo Shonaiya's <a href="https://www.facebook.com/search/top/?q=ayo%20shonaiya">Facebook page</a> but on visiting there, I saw no such thing there; in fact his last entry on the account was on March 10, 2015. So where did this post come from? Was it mentioned on somebody elses page or comment section? If it was then this report was not done properly. I just hope its not a fake story.<br />
<br />
Nevertheless, a lot mentioned in there made a lot of sense. Olajumoke needs to be protected....moreso, she needs prayers that will preserve her testimony.<br />

Distractions...distractions...distractions.<br />
<br />
They keep coming like a horde of attacking apes reminiscent of classic scenes from the unforgetable Planet of the Apes franchise.<br />
<br />
Distractions...distractions...distractions.<br />
<br />
They rear their ugly head and take me on some lost trip making me forget what made me tick, what oiled my gears of creativity and how productive it had been.<br />
<br />
Distractions...distractions...distractions.<br />
<br />
They almost made me decide not to come here again, not to do the one thing that keeps adrenaline surging through my fingers to churn out features and fiction that made me realise what I'm very capable of.<br />
<br />
Distractions cease....because my attarction is rekindled<br />

Nollywood and their constant thievery...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Is this supposed to help this Naija movie sell or some graphic artist was just plumb lazy and had his imagination on a stupid hiatus? I mean... look at how everything was copied from the choice of words and arrangement to the layout and people in the design. </div>

Just look at the striking similarities...the original is called '<b>Empire</b>', the imitation says '<b>Kingdom</b>'. (No be today Nollywood dey bastardize the word Kingdom sha. You fit count over a hundred Naija movies that have that word in their title).<br />
<br />
Where the original says '<b>Music, Family, Power</b>', the imitation says '<b>Gold, Magic, Power</b>' which is not surprising after all many of these low grade Nollywood movies are about weird juju and some fake elite or show of exaggerated opulence.<br />
<br />
While the original says '<b>The Battle Begins</b>' which sets the suspenseful anticipatory mood, the imitation yells '<b>The Curse Begins</b>'. Before nko? Did I not mention 'juju things?' (No hashtags abeg!)<br />
<br />
The positioning of the models of the original are strategic; they are designed to make a statement - Terence Howard backing us and giving a side glance of the Boss who's having thoughts and the Lady (I forget her name) starring menacingly straight at us to indicate that she has an influence on this powerful man's decisions...<br />
<br />
The positioning of the imitation is just lame. Van Vicker stands there in a pose that looks like he was just caught on camera asking the question, 'Shey na like this I suppose stand?' And the pix of the female who looks like a hybrid between Omotola Jalade and Genevieve Nnaji, seems like a cut out from some over-tweeted and over-hyped personal photo found online.<br />
<br />
I just hope this poster is a fake; if it is, then this was a good joke of what Low-grade Nollywood is capable of doing and if its not, then Nollywood don fall hand big time.<br />
<br />
By the way,,,is there really a station called ANBC? 'Cause that's where my fakery suspicion came from.<br />

I was in my office some days back discussing with one of my music producers, Timothy, about opportunities in the industry and ideas that could make real impact when the TV on the editing suit table broadcasting a music program on Silverbird Television, suddenly lit up with Burna Boy's video for the song, 'Rockstar'. Timothy as usual always kept tabs on things like this being a part of the industry. He always had some deep first hand information on the going-ons behind the scenes.<br />
<br />

<br />
And boy did he have a sharp memory at picking things<br />
<br />
One look at the Burna Boy video and Timothy scoffed at it and said it was a rip off of P.Diidy's 2010 Video for the song 'Bad Boys For Life'.<br />
<br />
Really?<br />
<br />
And so I went a searching for the facts because you know me on this blog...I x-ray every fact and make sure its valid before I blurt it out on my pages. On my search, analysis and comaprism, i had to agree with Timothy; yep it was a glaring rip off...just like the ones <b><a href="http://thekushchronicles.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-copycat-crimes-of-naija-music-video.html" target="_blank">I blogged about way back</a></b>.<br />

Check out the visual expose of 11 sceanrios that prove Burna Boy's video was a total copycat:<br />

You've seen my different funny photo series collected over the internet, whether its the '<b><i>Only in Naija</i></b>' series, '<b><i>Nollywood Gbagaun</i></b>' series, '<b><i>Signs of the Times</i></b>' series and so on. I realized there were some funny photos I come across that I couldn't place under any of these already existing categories, so I decided to start this new one which I hope could feature as often as possible...So allow me to introduce the series - <b>Something to Laff About (STLA). </b></div>

<br />
Despite the fact that I write, I'm not a stickler for jumping on the bandwagon to read every bestseller because not every bestseller seems to have actually sold its best to me. So when the hullabaloo about the novel <i style="font-weight: bold;">Fifty Shades of Grey </i><span style="font-weight: bold;">by E.L James </span>was all over the place, I was just aloof....mainly because I didn't like checking out the romance (or sex bondage/fantasy?) genre.<br />
<br />
But when grammarly.com came up with this interesting infographic and asked me to post it, I felt it was something that might interest other authors and fans of the novel.<br />
<br />
<i style="font-weight: bold;">Fifty Shades of Grey </i>was said to have been panned by critics for its poor use of language. The Grammarly team reviewed the book and found mistakes similar to what could be found in some of the classics.<br />
<br />
Check them out...<br />

Someone once told me that no matter how well a book is written, it can never escape having a mistake. I'm wondering if this actually proves it.<br />
<br />
Doesn't it?<br />

Its Monday morning again and what's on most people's mind is OGIM - 'Oh God It's Monday' and they just can't wait till the end of the week to start smiling as its TGIF - 'Thank God Its Friday'. And so a couple of funny guys in my office decided to play out the truth in a very short and funny video. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Its a good way to make ourselves smile amidst the bleakness of work.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The genesis of secret cults on Nigerian campuses today had always been with good intentions; it was all for a noble cause, one of which was predominantly to eradicate tribalism. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The University College, Ibadan (which later became University of Ibadan), was at a time a breeding ground for the worst kind of tribal thinking clubs; the Students' Representative Council, all forms of student activity, including sports, became mere expressions of tribal pettiness.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
It was against this background and to combat these negative tendencies that seven students founded the Pyrates Confraternity (PC) in 1952. Their original scroll written and signed by those founding fathers, listed below, remains a most valued item in the Pyrates Treasure Chest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
According to the Pyrates, the “Magnificent Seven”, as they called themselves, observed that the university was populated with wealthy students associated with the colonial powers and a few poorer students striving in manner and dress to be accepted by the more advantaged students, while social life was dictated by tribal affiliation.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
These men known as the Original Seven are:</div>

Soon their rank increased to fifteen to become the "fifteen men on a dead man's chest". To combat tribalism within their ranks, they adopted pyratical names, different from their "lubbish" names, with no trace to any tribe or origin. Thus was born the Jolly Rogers l (JR1) deck which for a long time remained the mothership of the pyrates Confraternity.<br />
<br />
However, as new confraternities were formed, they became increasingly violent through the 1970s and 1980s. By the 1990s, many confraternities largely operated as criminal gangs, called “campus cults” in Nigeria. Besides normal criminal activity, confraternities have been linked to political violence, as well as the conflict in the Niger Delta.<br />

I'd seriously love to have a set of these in my living room! Come to think of it...it shouldn't be hard to make these...if I can just visit a vulganizer to collect some discarded tyres and also pay Bamboo cane village under Ojota bridge a visit, then I should be able to do stuff like this right?</div>
