Loving Your Neighbour...

I'm sitting at the drivers corner in an exquisite taxi, AC cooling, sweet calm music in the background, relaxing mobile atmosphere, as I drive past some hawkers along Osbourne road, Ikoyi. I see them looking so stressed and tired and I really pity them. I'm so tired as well, mentally drained with slight dark circles underneath my eyes. But these people, they are physically drained, dehydrated and I'm sure at some point sighed as to why nature has been unfair to them, as to why they have to live their lives running amidst moving vehicles. If I had more than I do, I would have dashed as much money as I could to any hawker who was very close to my vehicle.
I feel bad that our economy isn't working as much and as fast as it should have. The suffering is too much,*sighs*

Thinking back, I remember the house help we used to have, she would scrub, wash, cook, clean, do all housework and still have time to read her books at the wee of the night. I'm sure most house helps now do much more, a lot of burden falls on them and it's not easy at all, I must confess.

Back to traffic, I'm now checking out drivers, how stiff their necks seem to look, (hope they don't have a major neck strain), their eyes weary and full of tiredness, in anticipation of calling it a day, (hopefully, they don't doze off on the steering), their bosses sitted comfortably behind, some even sleeping, not minding the situation.

Most of the people in our population are made up of such people, low income earners, support staff, the masses. And then we have people who they work for, people like you. My question is, are their efforts appreciated by you? Do you acknowledge them? I once saw a young lady slap her driver, when she knew she couldn't drive; he got down, handed her the key and walked away,while she stood dumbfounded!
If you don't appreciate and respect all those who aren't as lucky as you, you should start to show some love now.

Be good,lovelies.

Job Craze!!!

She was quite beautiful and looked gullible at first sight, but wasn't. The world revolved around her and she never had a problem getting whatever she wanted. All she needed to do was coo and smile and bat her eyelids, and like molten rock of a lava, expelled by a volcanic eruption, everything melted for her and her wish was done!
This went on all through her freshman year, sophomore year, junior year till her senior year, she indeed ruled her world. Then, there came the compulsory 1 year NYSC orientation, where everyone blended from different facets of life, to wear the Almighty white-on-white and later on, white-on-khaki. She still was able to use her charm to get her way through situation. A year passed and she was in the labour market, but unfortunately, her wits didn't do much for her now.
Then it started happening, she started getting text messages for job interviews in places she never sent a CV!
On recommendation from NYSC, you are invited for an Interview on Mon 23rd Feb 2015 @16 Akinremi St, Anifowose, Ikeja, Lagos by 1pm prompt.
Enq: 081-412-451-40

Mantledox logistics invites you for a test/work briefin @ no 2 sheraton/opebi link road off mobolaji bank anthony way ikeja on mon feb 23rd by 9am.h/r559984

You have been short listed for an interview with BG-NG @16 Akinremi street, Anifowoshe, Ikeja on Monday 23/02/2015 by 2pm. Enquiries; 09090554591 HR(Mr Victor)
Then the one that shocked her, which she almost fell for was Hi, my name is Obichie Emeka Henry, we met at orientation camp, LA/14R/0007, if you want to work in SHELL, call me 08140431412, Tank. (as in GP tank for storing water lol)
Where she was made to call a number of a supposed ' chairman' Engineer Charles, as he claimed was his name. He gave her sweet castles in the air claim of a start up salary of N350,000 and she was already having dreamy eyes, building her castles in the air, when he demanded her to pay N18,900 for a 'form' that was remaining just 3, due to its high demand and rush , according to him that is. This form was supposed to guarantee one's placement in the firm, lol! Who ever heard of an oil and gas firm demanding payment for job placement? Then it dawned on her, she was being scammed! She abruptly hung up on the phone and deleted all contacts linked with it.
Her head hung low as she walked on slowly, she wasn't looking as she was filled with sadness, disappointment and a little disgust. "Young lady, watch where you're going" "So sorry sir, I have a lot on my mind, I'm in need of a job" She looked up quickly, he was an old man, well dressed and quite astute in carriage and character. " You're too young to be thinking like this, you could have been brushed aside by someone careless. Here's my card, send your CV to the email on it, I'll see what I can do to help you" " Thank you sir"
Days turned to weeks, weeks to months and months to a year, she's gainfully employed in his digital media company, doing successfully. She remnicised about her bad ol' days, lol!
Have you been a victim of wicked job scams? Please enlighten us on their tactics, as to be informed! Mine was quite recent, thank God I didn't fall...

Love Fever!

Hi lovelies, I'm so sorry for going MIA on you guys. Things have been spinning a lot faster and I had a lot on my plate. But guess what, I'm back for y'all!!!
So, we're still in the month of love (well technically, lol) as Val's day was less than a week ago! How was your val, people?
I saw a lot of funny, sad and weird dps and status that day and I couldn't help but ponder why some people were feeling unloved, weird and funny in a less pleasing way...I reached out to some people and here's what they had to say.

"Some guys that were on my case just vamoosed, not all sha, but those I was anticipating, kind of disappointed me"   A lady who works in a restaurant said " I did not get any gift on Val's day, i was working all day, but on getting to my boyfriend's place, he did not give me anything, i felt sad as he doesn't buy me any gifts or stuff like that"  I further asked her why she was still with him then " abeg my sister, men are now scarce nowadays, especially those that want to date and stay in a relationship, infact talking about it now, i feel more sad" She walked away downcasted. I quickly turned to the other lady who stood beside her, "I did not get anything too, it's all good" Another person, a guy said," She had not given me any direct answer and I didn't want to bother myself buying her anything expensive, so I just chilled in a bar in the evening with my boys" Lol, nawa oh, so now it is now a case of give to receive!
I met someone who had something positive to say! " my Val's day was so nice oh, I had various guys asking me out before then and it was like they were in a competition to out do themselves, mehn I can't even complain!" Nice, at least coming from a girl.
But generally, most other people who all pleaded anonymity, were generally unhappy and couldn't understand why no one could love them, as to hang out with them, or get them a gift. I was left thinking, where they looking in the wrong direction? Or where they expecting too much from those people who are already in their lives even if they are not officially dating? Or have they let real love pass them by, by judging those who they meet on a high yardstick? I wouldn't know, but I feel one should not end up staying or being around someone that makes you sad or unsure of yourself, because you will only end up killing all the love you have inside of you. One more thing, always look out for the signs even if its at the early stage of a relationship in other to avoid stories that touch!
Somehow one's true intention will shine through, even if it's for a nanosecond, grab it people, place it on the radar, under the 'heart and head microscope', so you can see and understand better!
How was your Val's day and how's your love life in general, if sweet, give tips so that everyone can learn and in turn would have a sweet love life and if you don't have any love life *coughs*, tell us what you have been doing so that we would all avoid it abeg!
Imagine the world with so much love *wink*

Why was he drawn to her. He was caught between dialling her number or not. He suddenly felt tensed as the phone rang which was a rather uncanny feeling for him. " Hello, how are you doing" " I'm fine, thanks" "You didn't allow me say a word afterwards, you just ran in, where you shy" He teased. " Umm, yes kind of " She blushed. "I almost bit my fingers, while eating that food, it was so delicious. Where did you learn to cook like that!" She blushed further and tried to sound modest " I'm not all that now..." "What are you doing this weekend" " Nothing much, I'll be home" " I was thinking if you would like to have lunch with me" He waited for a response. She took a minute and finally spoke " I...I don't know, I'm not sure, I think I'll be busy" " You just said you would be doing nothing, it's okay, it seems somehow, but it's just lunch" " Okay then"
He pulled up infront of her house and waited barely few minutes before she came out. She looked good in her short red dress with her behind quite conspicuous. " You're a good time keeper, that's a rare disposition in the female specie" They both laughed " Thanks, I guess I'm a different specie among the species" "You sure are and you look nice" "Thank you, you look good as well" They chit-chatted away till they got to the restaurant. They loosened up while having lunch and everything seemed nice. They even went Go-Karting afterwards and for a minute both of them pulled down their barriers. "My house isn't really far from here, I could show you, if you want" "Sure, it's fine"
He drove in. His fleet of exotic state-of-the-art cars were designed like an artwork at a corner of the compound. She was in awe. He took her inside and she was amazed " Your house looks like what I see in foreign movies, it is so beautiful! "  He smiled " Thanks". He poured her some champagne while he had some shots of scotch "I had a really nice time today" "Me too, especially when I won the race! " They both laughed. He had some more scotch, she had some more champagne and soon they were so relaxed that they began to cuddle. He reached for her lips and kissed her tenderly, she kissed back then stopped "Why me " " Truth is I don't know, I can't explain it" " I'm not in your league, I'm not your standard kind of girl, this all feels like a dream that I never want to wake up from. It's too good to be true..." " Listen, sometimes we find ourselves doing things we can't really decipher. Like you said, it feels like a dream, let's try not to wake up and just go with the flow" With that being said, they both kissed away and made passionate love.

It was official, he knew his feelings for her, he more than liked her, it was the unheard-of kind of situation! He was planning one of his usual vacation trips abroad and he wanted her to go with him. She had steered some feelings that he never knew he could feel within him. He picked up his phone to dial her number when her call came in. She was coming over, she wanted to talk to him. He walked towards the door to let her in, she looked radiant in her tight pencil jean and peplum top accentuating her assets and her behind that got him intrigued in the first place. He reached out and kissed her, she kissed back reluctantly. "How are you"  "I'm okay, I need to talk to you" " Hope everything is okay?" " Umm, yes, sure it's just that I need to redefine what we are doing" " Oh, what do you mean by redefine" he asked. "My boyfriend proposed to me". He froze for a second. "Wait, you have a boyfriend, how come you never told me about it?" " I'm sorry, we were having issues then, when you and I met, and we have resolved it,he proposed and umm, I...I.. still love him. As for us, I didn't believe that something substantial would come out from what we had". She walked close to him and held his hands. Suddenly he could see the small shiny stone on her finger, it was quite a simple and plain ring, nothing like anything he would have given her. "Everyday, I moved with doubt in my mind whenever I thought about you. Look at you, you have it all, you can have anything, any girl, but not me. With you, I feel so self-effacing, passive, timid and totally insecure. Society will sneer at you, they will taunt me, and for that I have decided to walk away and start another phase of my life with my fiance. I'm so sorry, like a song I once heard, you're the best thing I never had". She kissed him, turned around and walked out, teary eyed. He stood there speechless, not moving a muscle, feeling eerie, stupefied and downhearted...

Can a relationship with with the opposite sex who is not fine be plausible. Can you go into such relationship or anything close, what could draw you into it!

Resplendent Grotesque

 A top dog, a hotshot, a high-flier, he had it all, the world was his oyster! He soared high in his field, was a total outlier. He was being envied by a few, admired by many. He was in total control of his world and his circumstances. He was an ever forward helmsman with a large quest for excellence, which he never failed to attain. He was quite handsome, very easy on the eye, with a striking stature that was hard to miss, who also loved to play hard, always having an exclusive spot in the VIP section of Lagos elite night clubs where girls shamelessly flocked around him, trying to grasp his attention. Who wouldn't anyway, quite an eligible bachelor!

He was out this cool Friday, having drinks with two of his friends who were also successful in their own right, but definitely not as him. " guy, how far that babe now, ah what's her name again..." One of his friends asked. He seemed phlegmatic and unconcerned. He finally responded, "that one, mschew, she no sabi cook nada! Told her to make me noodles, I had serious running stomach the next day. She was even talking about marriage, omo I dust my slippers carry am run! She dey find person wey she go kill " They all bursted out laughing. His other friend then said " but na fine babe now, the girl has very tight packaging! Mehn you would have just managed her excesses and married her oh and get you guys a cook!"  " Naa, all the fine girls I have dated are just a sloppy mess! They can't cook, clean, arrange or raise a finger, it's crazy, how am I supposed to marry a girl like that and deal with that situation all the days of my married life! Did I mention that most of them, not all sha, are usually impertinent, brusque and ill-bred?" They laughed away the rest of the evening having more drinks and some cigars.

It was another week. There was a Monday rush and thus traffic.He sat at the owner's corner while Musa drove him to work. He had a meeting in an hour.
He temporarily fixed his eyes outside the car window when she hurriedly walked past his car, his gaze fell on her African backside, round, firm and full. It bounced as she walked faster. She looked good in her corporate gown, quite sharp. His eyes still followed her. She stopped to talk to an old woman who looked quite feeble. She helped her cross over to the other side, the woman gestured a thank you sign to her while she continued walking.
Suddenly, he found himself interested in her, even without seeing her face! The traffic was easing off and Musa was moving again. "Musa when you get close to that woman in the blue gown, slow down". Musa did so, and he wound down his car window" hey miss can I give you a ride?" She turned and finally he could see her face, it was not the type of face that was synonymous to a girl he would readily approach! She was not beautiful, facially.
" Thank you, I'll be okay,I'll get a bus".
He surprised himself, he still had some saliva to speak! " You're walking too fast, it means you're late, hop in, let me drop you" She paused" Okay, thank you, I will"
She sat beside him in silence in his black sleek Mercedes Benz S500 as Musa drove. He was trying to convince himself that he just did the right thing, but felt there was something different about her, she was warm, gentle, with an attractive behind but not beautiful... He broke the silence, " so what do you do" " I work in a travel agency, what about you?" He smiled at her confidence " I do a lot of things, I run my oil and gas company amidst other businesses" They got to her office which was somewhere around Victoria Island and as she got down, he shocked himself further by giving her his business card and asking for her number!
They drove off, with him lost in his thoughts, before Musa abruptly cut in "oga no vex abeg sir, walahi the girl wey we just drop no fine at all!" He bursted out laughing "Musa, shut up, haba!"

It was two weeks exactly after their first meeting. She was in her kitchen at home cooking a pot of Ogbono soup when she heard her phone ring, it was him! She told him she was cooking, he teased her about giving him some, she teased him back on coming to get it from her house and further even dropped her address with him. They both hung up.
She had finished eating and was getting ready to rest when she heard a knock on her door "who is it" "na me Salisu gateman, e get one man wey come with big car, e dey outside, e dey find you ,kai aunty you don hammer!". He came, he had traced her to her house! She was in disbelief, it all seemed incredulous. She quickly made eba and put some Ogbono soup into a cooler and placed them both in a carrier bag. She went out to see him.
" hi, I didn't know you would come, I thought you were joking! I made some eba too" "Thank you" She handed him the bag and ran inside immediately without allowing him utter another word.

The aroma of the delicious soup filled up his dinning area. He ate up the whole food, she was such a good cook! He picked up his phone to dial her number, but stopped. What was he thinking, what was happening to him... (Pt 2.)

Dp Memes!!!

There are some bbm display pictures that crack one's ribs. You see them and just can't stop laughing!
Truth is some of them actually have some iota of truth, others can be quite satirical, while some others, plain ironical. I've been able to gather few here for you guys lol...

Ready Get Set Go?

 It is lover's month and election too *whew* so, a lot of cuddling and all might go down. We all like a little hug and snuggle and if further a kiss, some touching and finally some *#! your guess is as good as mine... I'm sure some plans are already going down ahead of Val's day even though election is also then.
I'm left thinking, a lot of people will be busy voting and would not have time to hang out afterwards and maybe the celebration might have to be a night affair, if not all night *wink*.

Bisi is a promising Nigerian that believes in the power of her vote. She eagerly goes out to exercise her right. On getting to her polling unit, she meets a stringing queue.
She also has plans for Val's day. It would be her first together with her new boyfriend Tunji. They started dating a month earlier and have known for 3 months now. They are really into each other.
After a lot of waiting, shouting and pushing, she eventually casted her vote. Time had past a lot! She quickly got home, took a shower wore her 'new gown' she ordered online and headed to Tunji's place which was the best option according to him, as he felt all leisure spots would be choked, as people would be trooping in almost at the same time.

His house was clean as usual and quite exotic too as she had been there once, briefly. He uttered " baby, you look so sweet, I could just eat you up"  "thanks dear", she replied.
The night was approaching. They had a candle lit dinner prepared by him which was quite tasteful and some fine wine. They later watched tv, with him deciding to dance to entertain her, she laughed so hard because it was quite a sight. He then goes " baby I need to shower, I'm sweating ". He goes off, with her left watching tv, when she hears him call her name. She turns around and he is scantily clad in his towel with the most structured, gymed up, body she had ever seen! Before she could utter a word, he took it off. Stark naked in his full glory! He walks towards her, cups her face with his hands and kisses her tenderly. It sent shivers through her body, making her legs weak. He takes her hand and places it on his groin and pushes it down further making her feel his bulge. The kiss became intensely filled with passion, the touching became more persistent. The aura in the room filled with strong desire. He carried her like a baby to his room still kissing her and drops her on his king sized bed. Before she knew it, he was taking her zipper down. He quickly got his hands under her gown and was trying to take down her lingerie.
Bisi was enjoying this. Her body was responding to his touch like every girl would, but somewhere in her mind, she wasn't sure if she was ready for this. She loved him, or so she thought and felt he did same too. She was trying to convince herself that she was doing the right thing, being that he is her boyfriend, and she is supposed to cater to his sexual need. But she still found herself doubtful...
She gently pushed him aside. " Tunji,my love, umm I don't think I'm ready for umm...for this..." "Baby what do you mean by that, I'm as hard as a rock, please dear my body is really yearning for this, pleaseee..." "I really want to, but I'm not too sure, I feel a bit restrained, do you understand me?" "No, no, at all I don't get you baby...I want to be inside you, I want to make you feel like a real woman.You be my babe now, who else I suppose go meet, don't worry, I'll make you ready I'll do somethings to your body, you will be amazed"
Bisi looked at the wall clock, it was pretty late, but she could still catch a cab if she left immediately...
She tried to stand up,he also got up and still tried to plead with her this time on bended knees "I really need this baby". His thing slightly lowered. She's left confused as she really loves him.

What should she do?

Weird Sight Lazy Brat!

Ever met some people who wished there was available a kind of machine maid, who could do everything for them like wake them up from sleep, brush their teeth, breath and blink for them, or even wash their undies as in 'pants'?

Hung out with some friends for the better part of one evening talking about everything from music to food to movies and even some serious concerns about politics. We were all having some drinks and I had a glass of red wine (as it's good for the heart abi), when mistakenly, i suddenly pushed the less drunken glass of wine on the table towards my OCD friend. Before I knew it, her white blazer had a red map! She quickly took it off as she had a camisole on and screamed " Nawa for you babe, see what you have done, see me see wahala now! " I felt sorry, but thank goodness there was a laundromat  quite close to where we were. I suggested we go there and i foot the bill. We folded the blazer into my bag and strolled down to get it cleaned up.

The laundromat had few customers who already had their clothes washing. We quickly gave the blazer to an attendant and was getting ourselves settled in when a 'cleanly bleached Lagos big girl' walked in. Her presence was quite obvious as she was on the phone and wanted everyone present to hear her conversation by talking so carelessly and uncouthly! My friend and I made funny faces to ourselves about her and was about to continue our gist oh when this girl offloaded her clothes from her bag. It formed a mountaineous heap but i noticed people where looking intensely at the heap of clothes. I turned to look as well and lo and behold, I saw different colours of pants!!! Not pant trouser oh, pants as in undies!!!
They were hundreds of them, different designs and colours! This babe felt no shame oh, she told the laundromat attendant that she was doing a drop- off, so the attendant had to do the separation and washing by himself, a guy! She turned around and left with her slippers making uncivilised noise.
Everybody started talking. A man who was being attended to as well could not hold in his disgust. He ranted " wo omo yi, ko le fo pata re!" Then the stares went from the heap of clothes to the attendant. He was supposed to start the wash and touch the pants,eeeeewwww.
The guy quickly went into an inner room, probably the store for materials and brought out handgloves! Everybody bursted out laughing. He also came with a scarf tightly tied over his nose. I could see the disgust all over him, poor thing!
My friend's blazer was done in no time and we got it and left. I was left thinking for a better part of that day on why someone would be so lazy as to not wash her pant!
Could she be a spoilt brat, a lazy lad or she had too much money to pay for her pants to be washed... I thought that garment was supposed to be private and personal!
I had never seen such laziness that glaring like I saw that day.
And thinking about it now, I can't help but laugh at the sight of the attendant wearing gloves as well as feel pity for him as I noticed his disgust...

Have u ever witnessed a weird sight lazy brat situation or anything close
