Naija: A post in Many Parts

Third time, they say, is the charm. This was my third time of visiting home for Christmas. The first time I didn’t have to mix business with pleasure.

Heavenly Bliss! Pure unadulterated bliss!

Why o why is it that EVERYBODY in naija carries at least two phones? I don’t get it. Actually, people have tried to explain it to me several times but it still amazes me everytime I see a dude with four phones. Pls don’t bother explaining it to me again. It gives me a headache!  It was just kinda interesting to see pple battling with their numerous phones.

Speaking of phones, I missed my phone sooo bad! I’m not used to rapid phone calls, but after the first three days, I pretty much got the hang of it. That was the one thing I couldn’t stand! Ok, aside from NEPA...

Speaking of NEPA, my mom is convinced that I have a boyfriend in NEPA or is it PHCN? The night before I came (so I heard) the Light started coming on at 12am to stay for the most part of the night. Cool, because they put off the generator like a couple mins before 12am. I guess the NEPA dude realized that I wasn’t accepting his proposition because about a week into my stay, the power became erratic. Idiot! By then, my nephrons had grown longer and I had already adapted 

I need to do a separate post about my clubbing experience. I was excited to go out with a couple of friends one Friday night. Sadly the Clubbing scene is far different from what I’m used to. Don’t get me wrong. The place we went to was tastefully done – nice atmosphere, two levels, nice VIP rooms, but I did not have as much fun. THE DJ SUCKED BALLS!
Why o why is anybody still playing songs from the early 90s? I don’t mean old school songs. I mean, Rihana has even forgotten that she sang “Pon de Replay”! and if you wanted to play an Usher song, what happened to “Love in this club”? why “caught up”?

Speaking of clubs, I almost met the Love of My Life at the club. Apparently they had reserved one of the VIP tables that my friends wanted, and so we knew they were supposed to be coming. Also it happened that some of the friends I went out with knew him and promised to introduce us. Alas! They didn’t show up!
I know this is the work of haters, but this Love will prevail!

Speaking of the Love of my Life, have you heard his new single: Taboo? That ish is off the wall! I’ve always known that my baby has mad talent! I swear that joint was inspired by me (can a girl dream in peace again?)
I’m sorry I took off my beads, its only been two months. I thought they had served their purpose. I’m going to go look for my beads and put them back on!



Sorry Dbanj, I cant be ur HKIC anymore.

I had an encounter with a “blogger”. This deserves a post on its own. Said post coming up next. QED!

My naija anthems were:
Taboo – Wande Coal
Bosi gbangba – El dee
Le fenu so – Lord of Ajasa ft 9ice ( only the part sung by 9ice sha,)

And no naija xmas trip is complete without weddings! I attended one. Thank God I bought the dress in London.
Short. Perfect.

Oh, and I did a lot of reading when I got tired of going out. There was something special about leisure reading. Maybe cos I haven’t done it in months! I bought three books on my way from London (almost missed my flight cos of it!) a sweetheart gave me three more books in Naija (muah!) and I bought three more books on my way back! So of course I didn’t open any school books during the holiday, it felt good!

And since I missed one week of school already, I have to hit those same school books real hard. Shucks!
Exams in three weeks! Jizos H. Christ!!
