A W O L

Hi peeps! How have you guys been? I know I've been off and on these days no excuses but just a lot of things I had to deal with. Unfortunately, I would be going AWOL on blogging for a whole TWO MONTHS. Honestly I feel terrible about this. I’d be travelling and then I’ll be in camp for three weeks for NYSC orientation. Yes I’ll be corper soon. Throughout this period I won’t be with any laptop or device of my own because mine got damaged well I’ll try to pop in here once in a while though. You guys will miss me abi? lol

Anyways when I come back fully, I’m sure there will be interesting stories to tell and lessons learnt and then CB blog will be back, better, stronger, more interesting, entertaining, scintillating, motivational, inspirational, err borrow me a word… anyways you would love it so be sure to tell your friends about it.

BTW today happens to be my sister’s birthday so happy birthday Amie, I love you, God bless.

People say we look so much alike, I don’t think so anyway.

…and yes thumbs up super eagles. Well-done jare!

Alright guys, take care of you, So much love…

*hugs and kisses*

  

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!
