Poppin bottles in the ice, like a blizzard

Sippin sizzurp in my ride, in my ride, like Three 6

Ladies love my style, at my table gettin wild
Get them bottles poppin, we get that drip and that drop

GENDER INEQUALITY

I was walking down the road one day and I was so appalled at what I saw. Two women were fighting, a man  standing by immediately jumped into the middle to separate them when he noticed it had become severe. One of the women stopped hitting the other one and concentrated now on hitting the man. He didn't try to hit back, he only tried to escape some of the heavy punches and slaps. You could see his face turn red, eyes filled with tears he was fighting so hard to hold back. As I looked on, I began to wonder why, because from all indications, he was only trying to help. Apparently, I didn't realize it was the other lady's husband and she just seized the opportunity since she couldn't do much to his wife. Oh my God, he was taking a lot of the punches and he was looking for a way to avoid them instead of hitting the lady. One slap, I thought would have fixed her senses right back in place but no, he didn't hit her. I felt so bad for him, he didn't try to come and fight for his wife, he only came to stop the fight. He didn't deserve all of that, such a gentle man! I was thinking so much of what was going through that guy's mind "maybe if I hit this lady, she'll try to hit me back, and of course I'd be blamed for fighting a lady". I was wondering, would this lady be charged for abusing this hefty man? Go to courts, how many abuse cases involve men as the victim and caused by a lady?
 Hmmn gender inequality.




I watched a programme on TV one time (BBA), one of the house-mates (a lady) started pushing another house-mate (a guy). The reason was simply because the guy told her she was drinking too much and it was so inappropriate. She pushed the guy so much that I personally thought I would have lost it if I were to find myself in that kind of situation. Amazingly, he comported himself like a perfect gentle man and didn't fight her back. Guess what happened later? the girl was punished cos it was so evident that it was her fault but surprisingly, the guy was also punished . For? damn! verbal abuse.  Of course there had to be something just so the guy could be punished too! What if the guy had lost it and laid his hands on the girl? Yes you guessed right! he would have been blamed and punished for physical abuse while the girl would have gone totally free. I even thought he would be commended for exhibiting such self control but no, he was punished somehow. The most annoying part was that both of them saved the same (I mean exact) punishment.

I decided to write about the males first 'cos I know a lot of them would see this and say "yea yea all this feminists talk again"
Bottom line is, it doesn't matter who, male or female, it just doesn't feel good when you are a victim of inequality.
I know a lot of guys are feeling like "tell them", but the truth is, you all will even agree with me that women are the ones that have to worry about gender inequality the most.
A man cheats on his wife/partner, everybody goes, "oh he's just being a man", but when a woman does same, its alarming. Why is it different? Don't they both have feelings? I just hate gender inequality!

I want to share another story, looks like there are a lot of stories to share today :)
There's this couple, the man owns an advertising agency while the wife works in a bank. A typical Friday for the wife is very stressful as its getting to weekend. They spend more time trying to balance up the accounts for the week, attending meetings to prepare for the new week and so on.
Meanwhile for the husband, the reverse is totally the case, they close early on Fridays cos its almost like weekend has started already.
The wife finally gets home late at night, sinks into a chair to get a breather. And the very loving husband goes "Sweetheart, welcome! ........,,,,..... Thank God you are finally back cos I'm starving".
According to him he prefers his wife's food to anybody's. How romantic!
Who says a man shouldn't cook sometimes? Who decided that the home front should be exclusively for the lady?
Who defined these roles? I know I have heard something like "a woman's place is in the kitchen", ok now that women are also doing various jobs like the men, what happens to the kitchen?

Its amazing! You'll even see a professional chef go home, cross his legs and expect the wife to do all the cooking. Why? Just because, its more of a woman's place to cook in the home. yea yea social roles!!!
Now this is just talking about the home. What about in the society?
I was so annoyed when I heard that for example, in the Nigerian political sphere, women had 30% of the chances. Well I'm sure the men will go "oh so thoughtful". My question is why 30? Why not just leave it open without defining any percentages for anybody? Why should anybody care if its 60% women and 40% men or the other way round? I reckon it should be all about who is suitable for the job and not about the gender.
Ok what happened when a woman was elected as the first female speaker of the House of Representatives? She was impeached in no time! Well we all know she was wrong but we know a lot of the male government executives are also guilty of the same reasons that were being stated. Maybe we'll say they have just not been caught yet right? or more like nobody needs to bother so much!
Well I wasn't surprise. I'll tell you the part that surprised me, the fact that she was elected amidst the numerous men in the first place. What were they thinking? I guess they were just carried away by winning the elections in the first place that they forgot to think as fast as the woman could. She knew how to plan and strategize immediately long before the men could(of course, thats a smart woman for you).
 I'm sure it only dawned on them a lot later that a woman was their leader. She should have been very careful knowing that she had something that seemed to be such a great disadvantage(being a woman).
Ok I'm not trying to justify her actions whatsoever, but since then, I have been waiting to hear of other culprits being reported, considering how much they all take home every time. Well maybe they know when its beyond the limits for them, hahaha! Perhaps,she wasn't playing her cards right or  it was just because she was a woman. Well I may not be so certain of that, but one thing I do know is that, it could be such a problem for even the dumbest man on earth, if he was being led by the smartest person in the whole world that was a woman.

Come to think of it, who says a woman cannot be the president of Nigeria?
Well its happening in other places.
Watch out for this generation because I'm sure a lot of people will be dazed at the changes.
This is one generation I know that is filled with a lot of motivated people.

Meanwhile if you see that woman that would be ready to take on Nigeria's plenty issues, me sef for like meet am o.
To rule Naija na beans?
Please ladies ladies don't mind me o,
 ginger! ginger! YES WE CAN  :D

NIGERIA at 50!


I asked my sister what the line up of events for the day would look like, and she gave me a very promising one.
"At first, we'll go to the stadium and watch the march past, then later, to see the 'night of a 1010 laughs' and maybe...."
"A 1010 laughs?" I cut in rather hastily.
Well, when I left a few years back, it was still 'a thousand laughs'.

"Nigerians must survive", she replied.
Looking at her face, I'm sure she meant every bit of what she said.



We watched the pupils and the students march in their 'best' uniforms.
The dancers performed like they had never done before. Happiness and enthusiasm emanated from within them, it was almost like they were wearing their hearts on their sleeves.
Although, the sun was shining down on us like it was trying to prove a point, I still felt a certain joy right inside of me. I'm sure my sister felt it too cos I saw it in her eyes, and in that of most of the people that surrounded us.
I tried to curtail my emotions a lot, especially when I saw some children hanging down from trees, just in an attempt to catch a glimpse of what was going on; and also when I noticed a cluster of some very young hawkers trying to peep through the large crowd from a distance.

It was but a long day!

We summed up the day at the venue of the 'night of a 1010 laughs'.
I looked keenly at every performer on the stage, like I was trying to run some examinations on them just with the help of my eyes. They all seemed to look very fulfilled as they came out in their flamboyant clothes and talks that suggested that of a person that was living the 'perfect life'.
I looked around the audience, everyone seemed to have a certain similarity, they were all well adorned, laughing and cheering too.

I had a lot on my mind, I hope I didn't show it?
One would never stop to wonder why everybody was so happy.
Maybe  a lot of people didn't bother, but I did.
Well maybe it wasn't exactly happiness, maybe it was something else that was even less describable, I thought.

I tried to put together all the memories of the day;
...The hawkers
...The dancers
....The performers
....The audience
I had to resolve to one conclusion-this was nothing but pride!
Pride and passion for what belonged to them.

Wow! I exclaimed as I woke up to the sound of my beeping alarm clock. Thank God it at least let me complete the dream before waking me up. I'm sure it would have been so disappointing if I didn't.

I had to remind myself that I was not in Nigeria.
I promised to be in Nigeria to celebrate the next independence day, where I could really feel its significance and the celebration in the air.
Reading about Nigeria was all we did on the 1st of October of the previous years, and maybe some parties to commemorate the event - yea and we didn't forget to remind ourselves that we were 'Nigerians in diaspora'.
I wanted to stay close to where I could hear the speeches by the people that mattered.
It's our 50th, some parts of those 'speeches' just needed to change. I feel like I might miss these important parts, not because they didn't say it, but because I didn't have the right avenue to hear them. I do not want to believe that they would fail to say these things because they have been left unsaid for far too long and I strongly believe that its highly expedient that somebody took the plunge and made mention of them.

I'm happy to wake up to a beautiful morning on the day of Nigeria's 50th independence anniversary still.
"When there is life, there is definitely hope", they say.

I guess I have to put on my computer and check what is happening over there as usual.

Lest I forget, HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY NIGERIANS!
And to the rest of the world, HAPPY OCTOBER 2010!

Falconets! Glory Glory!

*Singing* Glory Glory!



Mehn I know this is so yesterday but I was just so busy during the female's world cup that I didn't really have time to watch them.
I have not really been one to like female football though, otherwise I'm sure I would have carved out time for it somehow.
Anyway, I watched the recorded matches, esp the important ones, most esp the ones with our girls playing ;)
Yea they are our girls o! Is it easy? They did what the men couldn't do!!! Abeg! follow me sing *Glory Glory*
I'm sure you'll be wondering "why all the excitement for just a silver medal?" So I thought when I came back and heard they lost the match to the Germans, until I sat down to watch the match myself.
Abegi! E easy? Did the guys even pass the group stage? And to think that a lot of people do not really take interest in women's football (just like me), so they were highly neglected.
According to the reports, most of the attention were channeled at the Super Eagles who had their own games a month before theirs. Not as if things changed even after the end of the men's worldcup, and that I could completely understand still. There's no way one could have dared to hope on those women when the men already couldn't do it.
I watched the match o! Mehn those ladies tried, they were able to hold down the Germans for a very long time until the effects of the excess consumption of akpu started manifesting.Lol
They became weak towards the end and the pressure of wanting to equalize the goal already scored by the Germans left so much loop-holes for the Germans to score another one,exactly at the nick of time.
But still they tried, they came out second positon and if you asked me, I'd say that's a great achievement.
Congrats the Falconets of Nigeria!
Never again will we under-mine you!
Still singing *Glory* Glory*

Summer 2010!

Hello blogville! Enjoying your summer holiday? Cos I am :)




With my previous post, I'm sure you would have received a little hint that I love music, true that! But that cannot even be compared to the love I have for dance.
Sometimes I like to believe that I love music just because it inspires me to dance or more like it brings out the best moves I could ever think of.



Well I'm a professional dancer but I'm also schooling, so that leaves me with always having to balance things up. I try to stay very focused and busy with school when school demands that I do, and I also dance myself out enough to last me for a longtime when I have the opportunity to, with that everything is well equated.
I was so busy during the year that there was not enough room to do a lot with dancing though I was able to perform a few times, still it just didn't seem satisfying. Thus this summer I promised I was going to do a lot to my dancing skills, enough to make up for all the lost opportunities. It's as though I always have a lot of opportunities when I'm very weighed down with school responsibilities.
I finished my exams early and started searching; maybe register with some very great dance teacher, or perform with other talented dancers, or have a very challenging performance that would require my working a lot on myself to be able to give it my best. I was looking for anything, just anything to put me back in form. All my efforts to get something interesting and inspiring just seemed to be very abortive.
Gosh! how could I not dance during this long holidays? The thought of it was sickening!
Well just when I had given up and decided to look for other ways to enjoy my holiday, the offers started rolling in. At a point it became too demanding that I had to pray not to break down.
I danced, I learnt, I taught and even had to talk about dance at a show.
I have been so busy and that is why this is coming a little late, but it's for real the best experience to make a great summer.

I just hopped in to wish everyone a very fruitful new month,
yea I couldn't forget that September is here :)
Happy September 2010!

Music! Music!! Music!!!...


Ok I have been spending pretty much of my time lately listening to music.
Whatzup with all these funny music all around the world? Jeez! How did good lyrics become so far fetched?

Justin Bieber....Whatsup with you? Okay baby, ain't nothing wrong with you singing 'baby, baby' cos we understand you are one. I'm like "oh so cute!" But tell me, 'baby', like you want a girl (chic) or like you wanna be a daddy? Jeez! What has this world turned into? 

Rihanna....What is the matter with you? Have you lost your mind?(sounding like my mum and with  a very intense look).
Girl, Ok snap! We know these things happun, you meet a bad boy and all that, and all that... but puhlease! Get over it already!
And I don't even get it, you're still calling for another RUDE BOY? Haven't you had enough already? I thought Chris was rude enough to give you that great work of (martial) art on your face .
Anyway she says she's HARD. I'm like "you weren't hard when you were with Chris?" He hit you and you suddenly became "so hard ye ye ye". Ok RiRi, I get that feeling, when you just have an experience, you feel thats all that exists, trust me darling(and every girl reading this), you can have better.
But if you still say you want a rude one, maybe some even worse than Chris? then I'll just be good and say "I wish you the best of all you wish yourself"     

Miley Cyrus.... I know you are hot!
But seriously, you can't be tamed? Then no one is to be blamed.
You think its about the fame, so you don't care about the name?
...hahaha y'all didn't know I got rhymes tadaaa! LOL
Ok Miley why? Cos you got some peacock wings you think you've arrived,
so you might as well just fly?
(ohmigosh still with these rhymes! rhymes leave me :D) 
Anyway, Girl, I hope your daddy and your mummy can help you out otherwise I'll read about you soon, but I really hope I don't... See I still got love for this girl Ohmydayz! I'm sure its cos of that song uhmmm 'when I look at you'.
Mehn you surprised me girl! You can be that matured? I know you were joking. You were definitely joking! hahaha Please someone check was that song made on April fools day? Ok mabe it was wriiten on April fools' day. 

Usher...Whats with 'OMG'? Is it another confession? Dude don't worry mehn! You're handsome, just go get them brova. They don't need no confessions, don't know why you keep stressing yourself with them, mattter of fact, they just need ....... hehehe!
Ok I get it, when you saw Will-i-am in those trousers, you couldn't help exclaiming hahaha! i did too. "OMG!"  He thought cool Usher, do that again, again, wow song is ready. 

Funny enough, I love it. The dancing was off tha hook as usu. Usher always dropping it like its hot.

Ke$ha and Lady Gaga.....One advice for both of you! Please stay very far away from alcohol or anything that could make you irrational as much as you can, cos its the only logical reason for some of the sturvs you come up with. As a matter of fact, if you are not low, (low low as in opp of flying in the sky) then stay off the MIC, studios, shows or anywhere that can make you want to sing. You need to be very very low to be able to make good music but seriously these guys just think differently. As a matter of fact, thats where they draw their inspiration from. otherwise why would any body sing BLAH BLAH BLAH (ke$ha) or RA RA RA OLALA (Lady Gaga)? I understand the feeling, it makes you just wanna Ta.................lk, but transforming those ta.................lks into songs, OUTRAGEOUS! SSMH (seriously shaking mu head)      
   
Still on Lady Gaga...ALEJANDRO!  Have you guys seen that video? She just kept saying, Alejandro, don't call my name, don't call my name! I don't know what that guy did to her but one thing is sure, for her to sing it,  make a video, even to the extent of wanting to become a nun, she's very serious.
So Alejandro, please, refrain form calling her name. Don't even BB, FB, email nor tweet that chic. A word is enough for the wise. Mehn dude you should be scared of that lady! You know whu you're dealing with? I guess not:)

Anyway, I guess I'm done with all these people and all their drama, so maybe I'll just go back to some good old India Arie and Alicia Keys Sturvs. Yes I lurrvvvv you babes, Keep doing your cool thang!
Catch y'all la'er cos I need music in my head, music in my head, in my head, my head, head! Some good music tho' and don't worry, I'm not going crazy. I know you are all wondering, 'sup with the music in my head thingy'? Ok maybe I'll start soon too.....in my head, head, head....ga ga olala ra ra blah blah  ha ha

I'm out guys.

Dream a little!

As you already know, its holiday time, I tend to think a lot during holidays like this cos there's a lot of time to do so many other things. I mean its not the usual worries of school and its stress and the etc etc etc :)
I was going through some pages off the pile up of some 'stuffs' that I wrote a while back, and it stirred up something in me that prompted this write up.
It enacted great thoughts that made me feel like I just needed to stop relenting but go ahead and make it already. Wow I love it when I feel so motivated, I thought maybe I could inspire someone too.
Actually, this is the part of me I share with myself a lot, but today, I'm happy to share a lil bit of that with you.

Success is something everybody desires. But how can you ensure it?
Here are a few things you may want to look at:

1) Vision.....
Firstly, what is vision?
This is a mental picture of your future. Its seeing your future using your mind's eyes.
Vision can also be described as seeing your purpose in clarity. I know I just used the word 'purpose' and its important that I break it down a little bit.
Purpose is the intent of a thing/person. The 'Why' in other words, the reason.
Everything on earth has its purpose, the reason for its existence.
A knife is used for cutting while a pencil sharpener is used for sharpening pencils. Think about if someone was trying to use a pencil sharpener to cut meat, afterall they both possess blades. Bizarre innit? Whereas, if its being used appropriately, you will be able to appreciate and recognise how useful it can be.
Recognising one's purpose is very expedient in understanding one's vision. When defining your purpose, be very specific about it. Do not try to generalize it at all. More often than not you hear people say "I want to be great" or "I will be great".
Great in what? Great as what?....
That is the starting point.....A Great what?
Its only when you define what you want to be that you can be able to work towards achieving that.

2)Direction....
After understanding your vision, the next thing you want is how you can achieve it.
Your vision is your destination, that is where you are headed to. Direction is the "how to get there". This is where hardwork, perseverance, planning...and the rest of them are needed.
Its not enough to dream, fold your arms and watch it play out, you have to work towards achieving it otherwise, its described better as fantasies.
The knowledge of your destination is not enough, knowing how to arrive there is ultimate.
There's nothing wrong in dreaming big only if you know you can withstand what it takes to get there.
Remember the bigger your dreams, the greater the efforts required to make it work.

3)Dedication....
When you understand your vision, you outline your strategies on how to achieve your desires, the next thing you need is focus. FOCUS!
Be committed to what you believe concerns you. Pay more attention to those things that are essential than equating more of your time, energy, and resources to things that are not important to you. Try to discern between what is important and those that are distractions.
Think about a pilot that is heading northwards but locks his gaze east bound...there's bound to be a crash! You can't climb up with so many things in your hands.
You have to decide what you want to carry and drop what is going to do nothing than weigh you down.

If I want to go on elaborating on this, I'm pretty sure I'll leave a long epistle here, so I'll just leave it as it is and hopefully you can break it down a lot more for yourself.

Everything is attainable. Visualize it, strategize, persevere and do not hesitate until you achieve it.

HAPPY NEW MONTH!
Best wishes!!!
