I am a Birthday Girl


Today is my 27th birthday.
I was so unhappy last year that I had to make sure that this year, I would be very happy indeed.
I baked a cake…a chocolate cake…or rather my cousin Chinwe did, and I helped…the cake is unbelievably easy to make and it makes one wonder why it is so difficult tog et nice cakes…
At a point in time, I could have sworn that people were using AKPU/FUFU to bake their cakes.

I am happy because a lot of people have been calling me to say happy birthday. I am Piscean, hence I love attention, I dote on it, and so you can imagine how happy I am today.

The 1st person to wish me happy birthday, is my girl Doris…she sent a text hours ago so she’d be the first…it is always good to be ahead of the game.

The second is Seun…he is a nice person when he isn't trying to annoy me.he makes a lot of sacrifices for me and i appreciate them all.

The third is Francis, I was glad he remembered even if I was half asleep when he called.

The list goes on and on…Chris N., my housemates Tosin L., Chinenye A., Ijeoma D., Linda, Azuka O., Adaobi E.,My sisters and my brothers (the Devil reminded Ernest), My Mama, My cousins Iheanyi I., Nwife, Chioma&Nma, My IB boys Rotimi and Efeme, My Girls Eguono, Jibike, Aase, Lee, My Nephew Andre, Chidi O., Emma D. (my ex, I was shocked he remembered), Weniyu A., Dahiru S., Vivian, Samera, Yomi O., Adaure….

Thank you all for all the love…

FROM A GUY


strong>from a guys perspective.....



One of my Boys, Efe forwarded this to me, i just had to share it.

If a guy is good looking,
Don't immediately assume he is a playa. Not every Will Smith is a Eric
Bennet, so read beyond the fine print and you will be surprised. Don't
deprive yourself a Mr Gorgeous because of fear of the unknown, think about
the children, they'll be good looking, minus years of trying to convince
them they are "beautiful" and being called to the school cause s/he roughed
some kid who called them "Butt Face", "Mugabe", "Nkosazana Zuma", etc.

If a guy has a child with another woman,
90% of the time, he'll go back to the woman. Either the woman will use the
child to interrupt every moment you spend together, or the guy will realise
he made a big mistake and go back to his "family". Chances of you winning
over his child are nil, that's a battle you've already lost. Advice: Leave
Mr Family Man or kill the child. Make your pick.


If a guy cheats on you,
He'll do it again. If you stay, he'll cheat even more. No woman can make a
guy stop cheating, not even his mother. Cheaters are like a small kid, once
they tasted sweets, no matter what you do or say, they'll find a way to get
hold of them. Stop looking for water in a desert, because you'll find none.
Advice: Leave the looser and find a real man who'll give you his all OR stay
with the cheat and be a subscriber of Kleenex Tissues, cos you will be
weeping till you get to your grave. He might even find a girl to replace
you, cos he doesn't really need you, or he'll keep you to cook for him and
do his laundry, while he gets his groove on.

If a guy hits you,
Yes even if it's a slap - leave. If you stay, you have convinced him that
it's okay if he beats you. Ladies, it is not love, it is lust. Stop
convincing yourself that "if you hit a child, it's because you love them",
You are not a child and he is not your Parent.
Do you go around beating upyour bestfriends? Think about it!

If a guy says he loves you,
Probably he truly does.Make sure you can differentiate between being in love
and being in lust. How to do that? Simple.

Does he cheat? Hit you? Insult you? Abuse you in anyway? If you answered
"YES" to any of these, U ARE IN LUST - LEAVE!!!


Does he respect you? Makes you feel special? Treat you like a queen? If you
answered "YES" to any of these, U ARE IN LOVE - YOU LUCKY FISH, HOLD ON TO
WHAT YOU'VE GOT!!!

Ladies, Don't be a statistic by committing suicide, being in a coma from his
beatings or die from Aids which he infected you with. There is always life
after a break up, Brace yourselves women, you have come this far, don't
disappoint! God will never let you down and if you are looking for LOVE,
Look within yourself and you will get enough.

F$%K SOCIETY


Society is a MONSTER.Did anyone just ask why?
Who has actually seen society?
All we hear is ‘What will society think/say?’
To me, all I can say is F$%K Society.

How can it just decide that it can make up all sorts of funny rules and pressurize people to obey? My family friend just got married. He is a 40 something year old juvenile. He is in love with a lady who has a child, and that made his mother swear that he will never marry her. Now he is married to a girl who according to gist chased him till he married her.
They now say that the girl has won his heart…but has she really?

I feel he has married her to satisfy society.
What if he never stops seeing the other woman who his mum has sworn he will not marry? He won’t marry her, but he will never be a husband to anyone other than her.
Society says no one should have a child outside wedlock, yet it is the same society that says abortions are wrong…pregnancy is an after effect of sex, so what do we expect?

My grandma used to say when she was alive that she would rather her son marries someone who has a child than someone who has had an abortion. SMART WOMAN.

I don’t follow society. If society says that it is okay to wear a micro mini skirt, does it make it right? We all have to have our own minds. We all have the ability to tell the truth, so let’s not mess it up by just following the bandwagon of people suffering from “society madness”

Wheeling a Pre Valentine's day party


I attended a pre valentine party.
It consisted of pushing a wheel barrow for about a kilometer to fetch water.
My community has not had any power supply for almost a month and it is very annoying because we can’t pump water, or iron out clothes.
I have to take my clothes to work to get them ironed out. It is almost humiliating to wear nice crinkled (not d design) clothes.
Now, I call it a pre valentine party because I went with four other girls. We walked all the way, and the old man we were buying water from, loaned me his barrow.
On our way back home the first time, we bought pineapples.
After going three times, we returned the old man’s barrow.
We went and ate rice that had been earlier cooked, and topped it up with lovely juicy pineapples.
It was a rather tiring party. And it is not out of fun that we will have to wheel the barrow again…it is out of absolute necessity.

BULLSHIT FROM PDP


My people o,
Vex wan finish me this morning o…
I picked up a newspaper this morning, the Daily Sun (which I normally do not read because I feel it is full of sensationalism), and while flipping the pages in an extremely bored manner, I got to page 23 and I vexed from my belle…
I wish I could scan the silly joke, or rather the insult that is being meted out to me and the other indigenes of Anambra state…

There is an ad for the Yar’Adua- Goodluck campaign support team. Don’t get me wrong o, I have nothing against Yar’Adua and Goodluck o, but I have a lot against Chief Andy Uba and Dr. Chinwoke Mbadinuju (there is a typo in the ad, they called him Mbadinwu), unless he changed his name so people will forget all his transgressions against me, indigenes of Anambra and most importantly Anambra State.

Mbadinuju was governor of Anambra state (he is now the National Chairman of the Yar’Adua- Goodluck campaign support team) between the years of 1999 and 2003. That period is in my own opinion the worst tenure yet in that state. I went home for the first time in years and I wept for my people. The schools had been shut down for months because the state had not paid the teachers their salaries in a long time. How would they have? When the state government was paying off “GODFATHERS”?

I went to Anambra in 2002 for a funeral of a loved one and the distance from my home in the village to the home of my loved one is about 10 minutes, but it took us almost an hour because of the TERRIBLE roads. I might have not been so upset if I didn’t see a stupid billboard with Mbadinuju at the crossroad with the slogan “ODERA, O ME” (once he says it he will do it). Do what? Make sure than my brothers and sisters are illiterate? Or that my state will not move forward? Or perhaps because he didn’t say he would uphold education and fix the roads, and then it makes it okay that he didn’t.

I do not want to exalt Dr. Chris Ngige, but I will give Kudos to he who deserves it. My Uncle is a lecturer in that state and he told me that the state paid all their arrears when Ngige came in and that their salaries were paid on time…Civil servants liked him because he paid them. I went home and that road was fixed. My brothers and sisters were back in school.

There is terrible erosion in Nanka in Anambra state, it has led to the death of a lot of people in that area (my mother is from there), and it is “tourist” attraction of sorts because it is TERRIBLE, and to my knowledge, nothing has been done about it.

Now, Mbadinuju is running for a senatorial post in Anambra State…can you imagine my absolute vexation? How can Nigerians have such short memories? Is it our way of blocking out bad memories? I believe in once bitten, twice shy (in most things).

Now for Andy Uba. I will not say too much… he has just recently been accused of laundering money through his girlfriend in North America and he now wants to run for governorship…my prayer is that The Almighty will save us Nigerians and Anambra state indigenes from these horrid individuals. They said that Andy Uba is “anambra’s hope peace and progress”.
GOD SAVE NIGERIA.
GOD SAVE ANAMBRA STATE.

EMANCIPATION OF NUNU



I KNOW I am not Mariah, yet I know everyone deserves to be free of certain levels of CRAP.

I am letting myself for the first time in years actually flow with a man. A man who is not a blood relative, married or who has any other impediment to make him an unlikely to date.

I have a male friend who I met ages ago…I think he is very attractive…the last time I saw him, I went with my friends to see him in his hotel room and he managed to convince us to spend the night with him. I tried to convince him to come out with us, but Dude wanted to sleep.

Something in me says I am doing the same thing all over again sha(choosing a man I might not c tomorrow with), but what the hell…He is a really steadfast Muslim and I am Christian (sometime lackadaisical)…He is from Edo and I am from Anambra and I don’t think you can get more Ibo than I am.

I know that tribalism is real in this messed up country that judges people for their ethnicity and for their religion and not for whether they are good people or not. I speak from experience here.

I know he will read this as well.

Dude, I know you stay about 662 kms (I checked, that is Port Harcourt to Ikeja), away from me, but if you want to try, I am willing to try…this means you have to call on the phone and say to me these magic words ‘I wan try if you wan try’. No English o, real pidgin…

Kay eN U again

I found closure on Friday night…
I figure the reason why I have been so hung up on Kay eN U is because I thought I never stopped loving him…
I spent Friday night/most of Saturday morning with him and I realized that what I have loved all this time is the idea of being in love…
Do not get me wrong o…Kay eN U is a wonderful man and I know that any woman he ends up with will marry a man who loves her totally…and I know I am not that woman.

He didn’t understand why I needed to spend time with him…I needed to find closure…to put penicillin on that wound, so it would heal weal. I needed to know that he didn’t love me. That he was involved with another woman. I needed to say to myself and mean it.

I have never been in his house before…it is nice…comfy…has a woman’s touch. It could be his sister/mother etc, but that would be living in a fools’ paradise… I saw MAJOR signs that there was a woman who had a strong influence. I saw a brochure from a university that I know he will not attend (I know he won’t go there because he & I went to the same school), and I lifted it up to look at because I wasn’t wearing my glasses and I saw a letter with a woman’s name addressed to his parents’ house and it was not his sisters’ name. I also saw a nice frame, I can’t remember the right words, but it is about him being special in the heart of God and that the person who gave him the frame’s heart agrees. I am GLAD I saw it.

He obviously fought with himself, as usual; I am sorry if I led you into doing anything you didn’t want to do because I know you are a decent man. I will never have anything negative to say about him…it is real proof that I sincerely loved him…

Sweetiem, when you read this,I want you to know I waited all these years for you to say that you are sorry for stomping on my heart when you knew I loved you…I would close my eyes and see you…I loved you so much that I know your smell…the way your speech has a lisp(I hope that is the right spelling). I know how you are feeling when you crack your toes…or when you get really quiet.

I loved you so much…and I am relieved to use “D” behind the word love.

I pray that we both have made the right decision by walking away from each other. You walked away a LONG time ago; I am just about to begin my own journey.

May you find the woman who will love you as I genuinely did.

P.S
I had some candles the my girls A and E bought for me years ago for my birthday and told me to burn them when we got back together…I burnt those candles last month…and I only just remember they were for you.

circumcision

This morning, I saw a wonderful thing…wonderful because I have never seen it being done before…
I saw a baby boy being circumcised…it might actually be gory, but I was more fascinated than anything else.
He was crying (uwa, uwa, uwa nka m batara{this world, this world, this world, that I came to})…
The held his tiny penis and cut the foreskin at the shaft and pulled it off…there was so much blood…a lot of blood…and they were cleaning it up with cotton wool that had been soaked in disinfected water…
This was being done by a local midwife…
I was in awe…but in retrospect, can I do it to my son? My heart will break o…
And as an after thought…I better or no girl, at least no ibo one will want to “gbensh” (from Doris) him.

Kay eN U

This are the initials of a young man I feel in love with when I was not so innocent and not so guilty (girls y’all know where that is).
Anyways, I felt he was all that a HUGE bag of chips.
He was a breath of fresh air after a number of “what the hell am I thinking?” relationships.
I started dating him in June (or was it July) 2002. He was very caring…in all ramifications…in absolutely all things…
I had been with people who would say ‘na wa for you o, you are to frigid’…why wouldn’t I be? When it was all WHAM, BAM, THANK YOU MA’AM.
I know I wasn’t the best girlfriend in the world, but I tried (at least I felt I did).
In September, lots of things went wrong. We tried to work if out…our solution was like having a bad wound, and just plastering it without using penicillin or something to heal it…
We went from bad to worse to break up.
I never did get over the shock of him leaving me.
That is till last weekend…

We’ve hooked up once or twice after our break up…and once we had TERRIBLE comfort sex because he was so uncomfortable.
He suggested we hook up last weekend and I consented…
I was out with my girl, ADDY, and I pooped so much, she drove home and we fell asleep.
He was meant to come and get me, and he never showed up…no sms no call I was PISSED off…O GINI? O SO NYA BU NWOKE NO N’UWA (what is it? is he the only man on the face of the earth)?
He proceeded not to take my calls and it hit me…he was moved on…what the hell are you doing staring at the freaking door after him?
The saying “when a door shuts, a window somewhere is open”, is true…so I am looking for that window now…I know I have missed many “beta” windows o…

I am going on a revamping mission of finding myself again…
So Kay En U, I will send you this link so you can read this…
GOOD BYE!!!!!!!

LOTTA SHIT

I am a bit irritated by the falseness of women.
I live in a flat and I have two housemates.
I share conveniences and a kitchen with the two of them.
They are okay people…or so I thought…
To me Tosin is a wonderful down to earth girl and we come from rather similar backgrounds….
Abiola is a sham…this is my own opinion…
She likes to claim she is holier than thou and that is something I can never stand in people…
She keeps going on and on about how she is a Christian and about how nothing negative can happen to her because she pays her tithe…
F*&K THAT
So people who have accidents or who die are non tithe paying Christians?
PSHAW!!!!
When she heard about Clementina’s death, she gave me some crap about how her sister is a “prayer warrior” so that has never happened to her sister…that the Devil is afraid of her…
I do not know how people get that way at all…
I figure I wouldn’t be half as irritated as I am if she was not so a frigging liar…
She has some “friend” who she claims is a family friend.
In my own little world (and in a lot of people’s worlds), a family friend is a friend whose parents are friends…
This young man comes almost every week to come to see her…
I am almost unsuspecting…so u can imagine how pissed off I was when I realized that she was pretending…
She has a “husband”, who she claims she is marring soon…she claimed March before, now it is shifting day by day…
She confided in someone that she and d “family friend” were meant to date, but it didn’t work out…wetin (just say the guy was bunking you and didn’t like you enough to date you but still bunks you which is the only reason why he will come all the way once a week).
Why do girls think that saying you are in a relationship will make you look more responsible.
I am not in a relationship because I refuse to settle for less than I deserve…
HABA. NA BY FORCE?
On her birthday, she was so excited…she had a bath and wore a really sexy nightgown… I thought the “husband” was coming…so you can imagine my shock in the morning when I saw the young man coming out of her room…
It isn’t the “runs” she is doing that is bugging me o…it is just the pretense…
Now to my dearly beloved Tosin….
Girl real die…
She has been dating a young man who she calls her baby (and I call her adult)…
They will get married and I feel they are a responsible couple…
She doesn’t judge me because I have decided to be single for now…
I want to go back to school…I am trying to focus my energies on that, so why stress me out…at least I am not F&*KING two men and being holier than thou.
I am sorry for being vulgar.

Tribute to PAPA Nnewi

On the 2nd of February 2007, my uncle Chief Eugene Mojekwu, an 80 year old business mogul was murdered in cold blood by a group of young thieves…
It was really sad to hear…
I admire the courage shown by my cousins…they were popping champagne and cooking for people who came to pay their condolences to my 75 year old aunt…
The children said that if their dad was alive he would make them cook and that since he had reached the age of 80, it was something to rejoice and that no matter what, it is a thing of joy that he went out doing what he does best…FIGHTING….
Yes, he was a fighter…my brothers and I used to call him a Field Marshall when it comes to being attacked by thieves…A Field Marshall is the highest rank attainable in the army.
Well, here is to him…who affected lots of lives…to PAPA…
May the love of those you left behind help you on your way home.

INTRO OF SORTS

Hi…this was meant to be my debut on this blog…
Before Clementina’s murder
I have a lot of things to say, but have never said them…that is why I chose stuck in my throat…
I am a young opinionated woman…I do not feel that conformity is the best way to go through life…because we are all individuals and we have different ways of expressing ourselves…
I am PASSIONATE about life and love…
I believe everyone deserves a chance…everyone deserves a break…maybe if we give people breaks, they will give us breaks as well…especially when we need one…
I am a Nigerian and I am a true PATRIOT , this means that like the Famous Winston Churchill, I will defend my country when I am abroad, but make up for lost time when I get back home…
Keep reading my blog. I intend to scream it all out so that my throat can be free…
Negesti means Queen in Aramaic…

SCREAM

I was given advice that I have come to cherish a while ago.
I was told to write about anything.
Anything at all.
The sun, the earth, the moon, the waters, the air…anything…
So I have decided to do just that…
I have met many beautiful people, as well as horrid ones and they say and do things that I have learnt from…
I will continuously fill you in on all of it…when I feel I have people listening…
I will also invite people to write articles of their own…
Did I hear you ask “like a feature?” and the answer is “yest” (the way some people who r feigning accents in Nigeria say yes)
So in articles following, we can all SCREAM

A LIFE CUT SHORT

I had planned to write an introduction about myself...blah blah blah
Now i just want to talk...about life...
An acquiantance of mine, Clementina, was murdered in cold blood on tuesday evening at about 8p.m.
Her car broke down at Apongbo in Lagos Island.She was attacked by areas boys and was stabbed.
This led to her lungs being punctured and her death two hours later.
she is probably not the first person...and might not be the last.
I am so upset about it...
How can anyone lose his conscience?
How can anyone kill?
Lord, Help her family...
Guide her Spirit home.
Amen.
