.....2013.....2014.........!!!

2013!!! The year beautiful ones were born and according to Mrs. Ayede, the year great ones left us. In less than 10 days, 2013 will become history, a year that will only be remembered for calculating milestones and anniversaries. Never again will we have dates like 11-12-13, there’ll never be another 2013, at least not in this lifetime. Sadly, we leave behind those we loved and lost; those whose life journeys ended in 2013.

  • Nelson Mandela
  • Kofi Awoonor
  • Margaret Thatcher
  • Adenike Ogungbe (Ewar)
  • Lou Reed
  • Cory Montheit
  • Mrs. Christy Adebimpe (Shekere Alaafin)
  • Chinua Achebe
  • Kehinde Okikiolu Simpson
  • Paul Walker
  • Dr. Emmanuel Iwelomen
  • Mike Akhigbe
  • Peter Okodua
  • Dr. Irawo Adamolekun
  • Mrs  Ali-Ameh
  • Solomon Lar
  • Susan Oluwabimpe “Goldie” Harvey
  • Omolade Balogun 
  • Bukky Oni
  • Festus Iyayi
Sometimes I wonder if there’s a reason certain people leave together in the same year. Yet again, every one of these people would have wanted the rest of us to boldly take on 2014 and make a change. So while we pray that their souls continue to rest in perfect peace, here’s wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a fulfilled 2014. This is one of the reasons Christ was born. Even though we loved and lost, we do not mourn like those who do not have hope (1 Thessalonians 4:13).

Cheers!!!

Dear DSTV,

DSTV Seems to have touched nerves this season. Below is an open letter to DSTV by an angry customer. I laughed hard when this was sent to me by Mistah Cole. Image courtes y  teeveetee.blogspot.com Dear DSTV, "I am writing this letter to you,  Multichoice/DStv , as a client of yours who has been with the company since the 90's when it was still known and referred to as  Multichoice , and i have to say- this is an ALL time low for you guys as you are now obviously out of content despite your exorbitant rates. Some few months ago, you increased the fees for bouquets and also "added" some new scam stations which would normally have pacified people. However this was not to be the case as the repetition of content only increased. For some weeks now a number of movies have been on heavy rotation. Examples of such movies are Jackie Chan's THUNDERBOLT, DIE ANOTHER DAY,  TOMORROW  NEVER DIES and all the other James Bond movies (Except CASINO ROYALE, QUA...

Food-Xperiments

Image
Recently, I have been trying my hands out on some food -Xperiments, been reading Food Blogs like the dailies and been discovering some amazing food secrets like the Sesame Seed Oil (thanks to my food network watching cousin)!!! I'm not a big eater, in fact I can be perfectly defined as "the lady that does not eat" I get comments like "that's why you're not fat" "when you won't eat" "you need to eat" yada yada yada. I tell anyone who cares to listen, food is not the reason I'm not fat. In fact, while I may not be a big a eater, the composition of my tiny meals will send any one with fat genes to the gym. I love any meal that comes with colour and has an aroma that has me sniffing around. So I basically try to turn everyday meals into something with an aroma and color or a different shape. Sometimes, I stand at the door to my refrigerator and just keep staring. My financial industry work has me staring at every food ...

Med-View Airline and its Foreign Cabin Crew!

Image
I’ve been accused of blogging once in a 'pink' moon, so here’s one for the New Year! (image courtesy www. travelscopeng.com ) From my corner at the waiting lounge of the Nnamdi Azikiwe Airport in Abuja, I keep staring at the Med-View Plane that had just arrived from Lagos. My mind tries to process why the plane has the EU logo and that of another country imprinted on it. I try even harder to recall what the Med-view logo actually is; the blue wavy stripes at the tail of the plane do not seem the least bit familiar! Perhaps Med-View has commenced flights outside Nigeria, I conclude. Soon enough my flight to Lagos was announced. We go through the normal security process and that’s when I see the first one. At the door of the aircraft is a Portuguese young man to tell you where your seat is. I have never quite made sense of the need for direction on a local flight. How much help is ‘your seat is to the right’? And while I’m at it, I have also never made sense of ...
