I weep!

Reading about this ABSU rape and the many opinions of several Nigerians just shows that the educational level (whether they have the academic qualifications or not) is way beyond average.
Well need I say that the problems we face in Nigeria are just basically cases of 'Problems by the people for the people'. Think about it, we as a country we're lucky that we don't have natural disasters, we have abundant natural resources and yet we always top the news as helpless and needing help. Nigerians need more education, please the government and all those that matter, get Nigerian youths educated.
Ignorance is really taking a toll on us!!! That is why a person will get up one day and decide to bomb places when you know what's at stake, or those that are in positions to make changes to their societies and decide to abuse the power instead, or those embezzling money that could be used for great projects that would help Nigeria as a whole (and in turn rub off on them) just for their selfish reasons.
Think about how good education could help Nigerians really, the prospects are high! And again by education, I do not mean academic qualifications. I mean good schools that produce individuals that could defend the certificates they possess.





I'm just tired of reading about the lot that say that this isn't a rape case. This is just plain ignorance.
If you haven't heard about it yet, here's a link
What do you define as rape?
According to the webster's dictionary, (summarized by me)
"Rape is a seizing by violence; also a seizing and carrying away by force. The carnal knowledge of a woman forcibly and against her will"
Yes once the person says 'no' and you try to force yourself on him/her, it is rape.
The case of whether the girl in question is promiscuous or not is of no consequence in this matter.
Five guys forcing their way on her when she said no, is a clear case of gang rape and should be judged accordingly.
Yes, even a prostitute can be raped. Why is that?
The body and the brain works in unison. The brain sends messages to the body which the body understands and interprets. This is as simple as I want to put it. But really it's like a pathway that I don't want to bore you with. And this means that, the moment the brain says no, the body responds accordingly, as a result every move becomes very painful and violent, especially in the case of women. Guys can be raped too, but when it comes to bodily damage, the women are at a greater risk. But of course, we never look at only the bodily damage. We have psychological as well as sociological problems to deal with too.

The fact that a case as simple as this needed the attention of the social media bothers me a whole lot. It just shows that Nigeria is far away from being developed. Right now, we are classified as a developing country but really we shouldn't remain there forever. We should try to make conscious efforts to grow out of it with even the very little things we do, otherwise we might be down to underdeveloped sooner or later. The whole world is moving, nobody is going to wait for us. And for this categorization, it is based on the state of the global world compared to us.
That a simple case of rape cannot be accorded the justice that it requires, now that is so backward if you asked me.

Finally this is a call out.

A crime has been committed and the perpetrators need to be brought to book. No need for abuses and jungle justice, they just need to be taken to court and tried accordingly. I'm not sure why there has been no word(s) from the victim yet but If you have any information that can aid in this case, contact info@eienigeria.org

P.s And for all the people that made derogatory comments, I pray you find a way out of your ignorance soon, and any lady that dared to open their mouths to say that it wasn't a rape case because the girl was enjoying it, I guess it will be fair if I said "May you be raped but may it be an enjoyable one".

My video pick - week 26

Today's 'video pick' is very, very touching. I know someone needs to see this and you'll understand that most times, the only limitation we have is ourselves.
Nothing will be given to you on a platter of gold; to get anything in life, you have to make an effort and decide to give it your best shot.

Like always, EnjoY



So emotional innit?
I know I made you shed a tear and it's only fair that I make you laugh too.
Here is something to make you laugh
Follow this link if you want to see it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8aXN577fNgQ
For some reasons (these xfactor UK peeps sha) I couldn't embed that one here.


Have a lovely weekend lovelies!

Twitter Rave

A while ago, last year precisely, I finally made the decision to hop on a certain networking site called TWITTER.



The main reason I decided to join twitter was because I liked how you could write a thousand jargon stuff in a day without people thinking you were mad. Ok there was no room for 'likes' and comments; people having something to say and all, that you just had to reply to so you don't come off as rude. Well there are mentions, but it's not in your face like that. If I deem it fit to answer, I do and when I feel like someone is just trying to waste my time, I simply ignore it. #bliss
So basically at a point, I got a little bit inclined. It was almost like a nice good journal. #vain



If I was looking for my phone, and I didn't see it, I'll just hop on twitter and vent it out first before setting out to look for it. It was fun reading tweets from friends and knowing that they read mine too.
You want any kind of  'awkardness'? you can find it with no limitations. I mean really! Sigh!
And then I just realized that everything good must have a few setbacks.
And one day it happened, total strangers started following me. What? Were people stalking me? No on twitter it is totally okay for anyone from God knows wherever to click on your page and start following you.
"Calm down girl, welcome to twitter" I told myself. And now I'm very used to it.
And then I went about the usual me. I'm not one that puts out sensitive details about my private life in the open though, so there's really nothing to worry about.

And again it happened, I had put up my "now playing" as usual. And one day, one joker had the effrontery to tell me that nobody really cared about what I was playing. Sweetheart, check again, you're the one that decided to click the 'follow tab' SMH.
Well, this is the good thing about twitter, you don't have to reply, they can like to manage their boredom on their own sometimes.

And then you get to deal with certain friends that wake up and blab trash from morning till night, just because they know they can blab on twitter. #annoying sort
 In such situations, I miss facebook, cos all I need to do is to click on 'hide posts' without having to remove them from my friends' list. Sweetheart I don't hate you, I just hate your posts. Now pay attention, I said "friends". It means people that are important and it matters to me if they'd feel bad when they realize that I was no longer following them. I mean there are certain friends that if they didn't bother to follow me when I followed them, I'd feel bad myself. It'd just kinda feel like I wasn't important to them. I mean just imagine me catching an old school buddy on twitter and I immediately followed him, hoping we could catch up a little bit. And then the sad hilarity, he sends me a DM, (direct message) "Thank you for following me, long time". You know I just read the message as "welcome my new fan".
I realized I couldn't even send him a DM myself because he wasn't following me. SMH!
It could be annoying, I know. No it's not like people that will decide to follow a complete stranger and then start getting mad that he/she is not following them back. You're just on a long thing! You have a reason for following them innit? If they find a reason to follow you, they will.
Anyway, I've come to realize that for some it's like a throne. #twitter throne hahahaha
Hmm peeps calm down o, there is no award on that time waster sha.

Now this brings me to the story of a certain man. His first name starts with a big R. Please I don't like trouble o! You see this man's followers are the best people to be used to describe the word "followership". I do not want to push any of them, you'd never know how far they can go :)
Anywayz, as I was saying, he doesn't follow anyone but he has millions of followers. I'm like don't you have a wife, family, anything, someone you just know you should try to keep in touch with? No! he doesn't, I mean none whatsoever.
And yet his followers will never let you rest. Whether you follow him or not, his tweets will always get to you.
They are supposed to be words of wisdom but believe me when I say it's pure comedy.
Here's an example - "WTF?! - "Where's the faith?!" Jeez smh again!
His followers will retweet every and anything he posts no matter how cliched the phrase is. To them it's the greatest wise saying they've ever heard. He'll write, "tick tick says the clock tick tick" And you'll see 200  Rts (retweets). Bad if you follow 10 of them, that's just a guaranteed bad day no doubt.

As if things cannot get anymore interesting on twitter, you see celebs that pay for a publicist to speak for them but they still feel like they are not getting enough words out. To make everything easy and even, they hop on twitter. Yea Mr spokesperson, take the floor in real life, while I dole out the nitty gritty details on twitter.
Please how conceited can one be to actually see the need to gush out these kind of words?
Do not compare me with anybody because it will take years before any of these so called colleagues will get to my level.
I'm the Beyonce of Africa, the rest are just like Kelly Rowland or maybe Ciara.
I'm the richest. I don't need fans, they just come anyway, they have no choice.
Ohmydayz! Did you fire your publicist before embarking on this? Because that's a lot of damage you've left for him/her to try to repair.
And the ever 'loyal' fans will retweet and reply "we love you" #Sigh!
Wtf?! And no, I don't mean 'where's the faith', I actually mean WHAT THE FUDGE?! :)

On a brighter note, you get to learn new 'supposed to be cool' words...
E.g "I'm just dripping in swag for dayzzzzzzzzzz".
You have to accentuate the 'z' for it to make sense. LOL
There are plenty ways to use this word, as long as you drag the 'z'.
And if you want to make it phenomenal, just add #boomboompow at the end.
"You make me smile for dayzzzzzzzz #boomboompow"
hehehe hilarity!

Video pick - week 25

It was my girl's birthday on Sunday, so I decided to dedicate today's post to her. Don't mind me, I was supposed to do this on Sunday but I was a little too occupied. Anyway, here it is, Belated birthday greetings, Mrs Beyonce Knowles-Carter 



I carefully selected this particular video because it is her most recent and most importantly, the comments are just hilarious or more like pathetic :)
Some say the video is fetish and the many other bla blas..
How does this suggest anything apart from the fact that someone put some creativity into making it?
It's called 'video effects/cinematography', Smh!
And for the extra sheen and glow on her skin, if you try baby oil with some glitters, it should work; if it doesn't, try falling into a tub filled with groundnut oil (the very concentrated and smelly one), I'm very certain that would work. People are just so funny at times.

Anyway here, video: 1+1 By Beyonce
Like always, EnjoY!




Ok when I first heard about the 'illuminati' thing surrounding Roc Nation (especially Jay Z the main person in question here) to be sincere, I believed it. And that's based on the evidences at hand, the continuous suggestive lyrics by him, the eye of the horus symbol he kept throwing on stage and in his videos etc..
Seeing all these things as they added up made sense. But really for this Beyonce's video right here, I feel like it's totally unnecessary for people to start getting all paranoid. I mean when people start drawing all these unnecessary instances, it even questions the illuminati hullabaloo to start with.
Well, for me I don't take things hook line and sinker, I always need people to convince me to believe whatever they want me to and I will gladly and thankfully do so, until then, I 'll just say that was a beautiful performance by Beyonce as usual.

And a lil bonus :)
Stevie wonder singing 'Happy Birthday' to his son and Beyonce






Have a great weekend lovelies!

My Video pick - Week 24





I just couldn't wait to post this week's video. I was supposed to post it last week but I decided to pay tribute to Aaliyah instead. I've been playing this song the whole week. I love love love it! This song is just so beautiful in every sense of the word, the message in it is very endearing. I'm still trying to believe this really is Lil Wayne and not someone else :D

Here's the video for  "How to love" by Lil Wayne
Like always, EnjoY!








And here's a lil bonus.
Sam Tsui made me appreciate this song even more


Tell me, wasn't that just beautiful?
I love both versions very much. I love the striking vocals in Sam's version and the subtlety of Lil Wayne's version. I hope you enjoyed them too :)

Have a lovely weekend lovelies!
