I don Tire

Rain rain go away
come again another day
catwalq has no umbrella

NEPA is a bitch. No light for three days and we don't have gen. Me I am tired of ironing my clothes one week in advance. How am I supposed to know that the air-con in the place I am going was probably once used to generate snow at one point in its existence.

Obasanjo is just shameless. And I thought he would retire and chase his chickens at his Ota farm. Which one is advisor again? Have we not suffered enough from this man's intelligence? Haba! Agbaya!

Wo, peoples, I will gist later, I need to go and collect ice block from Mama Junior upstairs. And tonight's soup. We kept some of our sturves in their freezer.I hope they have not left for church cos mumsie told me to get it like three hours ago and I just saw Sunday, drive out the car. Where there people inside the car?

ADO EKITI MEMOIRS

Apparently this blog is rated:
What's My Blog Rated? From Mingle2 - Free Online Dating

I REMEMBER WHEN:

mummy will say to daddy, "please could you help me get some tomatoes on your way back?" and daddy would say "yes" and turn up a few hours later with two baskets of tomatoes that he bought at three times the actual price. the market women loved my dad and his beat up Volvo 240. We always had food in that house

Omo mummy got his head stuck in the buglary proof in our neighbour's flat when we went to sneak and check out what the new tenant had in his flat. I laughed so hard I wet myself

I got stung by a scorpion and daddy said that it was a spider from Kingdom Arachnida. He had the doctorate degree in the house and so many encyclopedias, so we were figured he was right until I started to feel drowsy and sleepy

Our three guava, two cashew and pitanga trees

Mummy wishing she had not waited one more day for her fat paw paw to ripen on the tree cos the next day, it was not there

throwing stones at the masquerade and having the boys chase me down with koboko. I barely made it into the house

Iya oyo's pounded yam and egusi with assorted meat

traveling three hours to get to Ikogosi Warms Spring, just so we could swim

knowing all the mountains and rivers in the country

knowing all the states and capitals.

Omo Mummy getting getting stuck in the guava tree after I told him to climb up and shake the branches. Mummy beat me something serious before she climbed up and brought Omo Mummy down by the collar of his shirt. He was six so he got only a spank. i got a thrashing so bad that it even hurt to fart

The king's market and Oja Okesha that only opened every seventh day

The cathedral with seven schools in its compound

Sweet Alagbon; u know the sweet made from coconut and wrapped in cellophane and tied in knots. looked like a string of stones

Our farm and my small garden where I grew two yams, six ears of corn and some ugu

The pineapples that did not bear fruit till we moved out, six years after they were planted

The onions that daddy planted and made us talk to ( he read somewhere that if you talk to your plants, they grow better) that never grew. I always told anyone that saw him conversing with his plants that he was my father's twin brother from lagos.

Catching Esunsun and frying. Mummy condemned the frying pan after that

Daddy telling Mummy that he was going to bring her a present and then showing up later with some dead wild animal. U should have heard her reaction the day he presented her with a dead python. he told us he'd clean it himself and we would see that it tasted just like fish. he and I sat outside to eat the "fish" and we were not allowed to bring it inside.

GYM blues

Ladies and Gentlemen, I am in intense physical pain.
Have just completed my second day of thirty minutes on the stationary bike and thirty crunches.
I cannot feel my legs.
My spine is on fire.
I think I am going to pass out.
God is this how I am going to go?
I have not even dated my sheik yet?
What about all my world jet setting?
I have not even had the upgrade to first class on BA, Oh God why me?
Should I call my mum?
What time is it?
No, she might just kill me herself.
Yee eeeee, my thighs!!!
Mo gbe, I think I am seeing a white light.
Idiot, it is just your neighbours driving down the street
I think I have shifted my liver
*sob* I am only trying to have a flat tummy, ehn, eze okwu
Maybe if I could just detach my legs for a while, it will not be as bad.
Jesus!!! What is this?
is my hair falling out?
Why is everything dark?
Oh, sorry, have to open my eyes first.
I don't know who sent me message. All these yeye summer ads on cable. Me too, I want a bikini
Am tired of my one piece suit. Besides, I have already slashed d thing with scissors into a two piece.
I am having a headache. Hey!!! I hope I am not having a haemorrage.
U should have turned back when u walked into that gym and everyone in there was skinny. I mean, everyone else used like six other machines while they had to scrape you off the second one.
I don't even know how I walked home in a straight line
How many fingers am I holding up? First, let me move my hand up to where my eye can see it cos I cannot turn my head.
Men, I have to find a way to get my hands on that hoodia plant cos I don't think I can go through this everyday.
Why is Jennifer Lopez taking off her clothes?
Where is the remote? Oh, it has been in my left hand all this while? No wonder, i could not lift my hand.
Is this heiffer singing in spanish? Idioto! How am I supposed to understand...
Let me see what else is on
CNN...
BBC...
MTV...
Africa Magic...Jesus!!!hell no
Discovery Home... what is this? Tips for summer get togethers? Pudding? Shio. Barbecued chicken, hmn, ok, roasted corn. these yeye oyinbo people and their culinary crimes. Why will you douse corn in butter?
*sob* I am hungry

Honey I LOVE YOU --- POEM

You are a lovely star
that bestride my horizon
sweeter than the rose scent
that becons forth bee
lovely than the lily
in the mist of her softest green
perhaps with this strange pang of excitement
as soft and gent as a sigh
(in) this I craved for
leastdaresay entrapped
to be lost in the labyrinth of ur love complexities
Far away u are
standing and looking
with pairs of hypnotising smile
yet my heart felt
the warmth of your presence
touching like serenade in the air
growing with charm tender.
cause, am fascinated,
intrigued and besotted.
