You guys will miss me abi? lol

Celebrity Blogger, Linda Ikeji acquires N8 million infiniti FX 35

I’m posting this because I am inspired by this lady and now even more because of what she had to say about her recent acquisition. She posted this on her blog today and said:

“I put this up for two reasons:

1.To show off of course…why else? lol. And 2, to encourage other ladies out there to keep working hard and keep believing in themselves. You don’t need any aristo to give you things…any woman with will and drive can give herself anything she wants!

‘By this time two years ago, I didn't have this much…but I never stopped working hard. I can’t even begin to count how many businesses I put my hand into before one paid off-Blogging! I told myself that I will make it in life one day as my own woman and on my own terms that no man will ever take my dignity…and I did it. So can you! Yes, you! You have the power!”

I hope this doesn't just inspire ladies but guys also. Again, she’s proof that hard work and diligence pays. But you now what? It will certainly be much easier for you if you have direction from God. Then u wouldn't have to put your hand into so many businesses but the perfect one. So on behalf of CB blog readers I answer Yes to Linda’s question. Yes we can be diligent and hardworking and make things work the right way.

Have a blessed week!

Wickedness and/or Revenge?

20 year old Naomi oni, Nigerian, was disfigured for life when an unknown person wearing a niqab threw acid in her face as she walked home from work on Sunday December 30^th in Lodge Avenue Dagenham, east London.

Naomi told evening standard that she was on her way back from work when she heard someone behind her. She explains:

‘I’d been working a late shift and was talking to my boyfriend about what we were going to do for New Year when I saw this Muslim woman wearing a niqab covering her face. I thought it was a bit strange at that time of the night, but she didn't say anything and I kept on walking.

‘Then I felt a splash on my face. It burned and I screamed out. I started running and screaming. Holding my face, all the way home and I was screaming and banging the door. I was hysterical. Luckily my godmother, who is a pharmacist, was at home with my mum and she helped me and kept dipping my face in water and trying to calm me down until the police and ambulance got there.

‘I was in shock, saying: “who would do that? who would do that?” how could anyone do this?’

Naomi recently released photos of her disfigured face after police failed to find the person who did this to her. She’s now appealing to the public to help her catch her attacker still at large. She also said the attack has destroyed her life.

‘I look in the mirror and it just isn't me. I’ll never look the same again. I've always been outgoing and confident in my job and in my personal life. Used to get attention for the way I dress or my hair, but now I don’t want anyone looking at me. I don’t want people to see me in public. I don’t want to get to the Tube or bus. If I have to go to the hospital I take a taxi.

‘I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to go back to my job. I was to go to college in September to study media and fashion, but I don’t even know if I’ll be able to do that.

Even with the support of family and friends and boyfriend I feel very alone’. She said, ‘nothing is going to be the same anymore’.

Naomi faces many years of skin grafts and plastic surgery.

One question: is it now a crime to be beautiful? God help us!

Lenders and borrowers

Is it possible to totally forget you owe somebody?

I said totally because I know some people genuinely forget but then they always remember later, apologize and return what belongs to you.

I ask this question because I've had countless experiences of people owing me money or something without paying back and I just had to blog about it. It’s really annoying because usually I end up not asking them for it. 

Recently, one babe wore my fine slippers which I just bought without my permission and didn't return it. Even if she wasn't wearing it every day, she was seeing it so she couldn't have forgotten and she knew I was meant to travel with it. The thing pain me o as in e paaaiiinnn me. And this is just one out of so many experiences I've had.

I’m not here to rant or whine. I’m saying that if you owe somebody or you borrowed something from somebody please pay back or return it. Don’t say “no be 5K wetin he wan use 5K do”. No! Little things like this can spoil the relationship you have with people and if you need their help, they might not be willing to offer. If you don’t have it then explain to the person so he/she will know that at least you have it in mind. Please for future sake!

Maybe you've been owed or someone still owes hehehehe my dear don’t say I don’t know how to ask somebody for something. My eyes don clear! If it’s taking too long, remind. It’s possible that person thinks you've forgotten about it but how can you forget sef or the person genuinely forgot. If you need to forgive someone please do that and if you still need to help somebody do that too but apply wisdom.

*let's do it right*

I love my blogfam. muah!

Happy birthday Pastor Kingsley Okonkwo!

Thank you for being you.

I love my pastor.

*big hug*

Its a weekend!

On a “just there” Saturday afternoon, I’m seated with a computer in front of me, looking into space and thinking of what to write about but all I can hear is the sound of a talking drum and now trumpets.

This traditional wedding is taken too long. Worse, I wasn’t even invited at least the Amala and ewedu mixed with gbegiri  I saw one man eating there would have compensated or no maybe I would have settled for rice and beef make I no go fall my hand for public.

Now this Traditional marriage is making me think of how mine will be; instead of a live band there will be a DJ and he won’t play just any kind of song in fact if it must be ibo then it must be “arabanko” or by Flavour. hehehehe

The groom, choi, that guy is lucky blessed! No be everybody dey see dis kind correct babe marry na. *wink*

Before mine takes place let me get ready for Ud and Ama’s (my sisters) own. At least there I know I will even have ‘take away’.

For now, let me drink my garri with joy, milk and sugar. I love it!

Okay I hope your weekend is far more interesting than mine. 

Enjoy every bit of it!

Just because it’s today…

We will be full of cheer…

We will live, love and learn…

We will look our best…

We will be caring and welcoming...

We will be grateful…

We will say TGIT (thank God it’s Tuesday)

Not just because it’s our birthday or because we got a promotion, but because we understand that at the end of it all, everyday counts and that even the Mondays we all dread would be a perfect gift for another.

Today is the future we talked about yesterday and by tomorrow will be the past.

Just because it’s today, raise a glass of wine or buy yourself this…

Have a lovely day blogfam * blowing kisses just because it’s today* hehehe

Not by hustle…

Seated in one of the popular yellow buses of Lagos going to Oshodi, almost squeezed beyond recognition, I resolved one more time in my heart that my car is coming soon abeg. Thank goodness i sat by the window.

It’s only normal now to see a hawker running after a moving vehicle in Nigeria but this time around I couldn’t help but think about the fact that he probably woke up that morning and said “Lord bless my hustle”.

I’m not saying it’s his fault that he hawks on the street. Who am I to judge! But I have a serious problem with hustling.

In case you haven’t noticed, people who earn more are not those that work the hardest if not the brick layers, hawkers, “kpom kpom” carriers should be the richest in the world. You must work but then it’s not the work that should determine what you will turn out to be but God. He can bless you beyond what you earn. Don’t limit God to your salary. If you are in business, He can open several doors. If you have the mind of a hustler, then you depend on what you can do for yourself alone which is limiting because He can do much more. Shift your trust from that job or business to a limitless God; a source that can never run dry, an account that can NEVER go red, and then you will see your finances take a new turn.

Blogfam, God forbid you lose that job, or that business collapses then wat happens? But you know God cannot be lost, He cannot collapse or fail. It is the blessing of God that makes rich and as a child of God, (aren’t you?) you carry the blessing. All you have to do is recognize and be conscious of it.

Hey! what do you need or desire, trust God today for it and take a step, price that car mehn or the house; remember that we will testify.

Okay I know I sound like my Pastor

Have a blessed week. muuahh!!

Rich but stupid?

I don’t want to know who would sleep in the many rooms in the mansions they live in…

Or the number of cars they have…

I don’t even want to know what they need the private jets for…

All I want to know is if it’s a product of “good success”

If it is then I know I would be stupidly rich as well

Just like this guy…

Stupid enough to buy my own yacht

Just like he did...

Where are the haters?

Ilove you too.. 

When he is interested…

So I can write about this comfortably as I have plenty experience; as a sweet girl na.*cut eye*.

Guys thank me later and direct that babe to this blog so she'll get a clue. Ladies, even if he’s interested but you know he is not the one then by all means fashi o but please do that nicely. Now bring out your pen and paper.

Not a coincidence!

It’s no coincidence that you see him around the place you go through when coming back from work, school, near your church or where he knows you’d likely be. He knows what he is doing. But then it could also be a coincidence o. But you suppose know sha.

Shows interest in the things you like

For example you like writing like me and then he goes out of his way to get you a material that could be of help. Once somebody went out of his way (i think) to give  me one “chimamanda thing” and yes he was interested. He’d also want to find more ways to relate with you and share experiences and opinions.

Tries to get your attention

Through chats, calls, sms, facebook, twitter etc. And also if you say something and you sef know say that thing no funny like that but he laughs as if na basket mouth dey tell joke or if you catch him starring at you frequently. Yes o why will somebody just be looking at you like that every time? or just like my pastor would say he lives at ikorodu and comes to pick you up from okoko where you live to take you to your place of work on the island. hehehe 

So with these few points of mine I hope…

Disclaimer: I don’t support ladies asking guys out so if you read this and you think he is interested and you now want to ask him out then “OYO is your case” *inritadominic’svoice*

Catch ya!
