Friendships are Golden

I never thought that resuming after five weeks of holiday will make me feel happier, because I was feeling down and bored of watching too much teevee. But today, my whole day has been wonderful, and no thanks to the downpour of rain in the afternoon, I feel just great. Sometimes, you wake up at the right side of the bed wishing yourself a nice day but end up feeling worse off anyways. However, it was cool, having lunch with my friend after a long time and having some crazy chat with a group of friends for dinner... hmm... thats what i really loved... it really made my day and helped me to improve my sense of humor...kinda lolz...

I usually feel that human beings sometimes take things for granted... I for one do take things for granted. When I was on holiday, fasting and doing absolutely nothing except help my mum or watch tv(CSI WHATELSE!!!), I seldom bother to contact my friends back in campus because to me, they are "campus friends" and nothing more. Alas, I was totally wrong, a friend is a friend is a friend indeed and in need always... never underestimate the power of friendship... its more powerful than love, whenever you are happy, they make you laugh and whenever you are down they cheer you up... except for friends that pretend that they are your friends... never mind them.. they aint worth a thang! Friends are always there for you.... but I think friendship is not something we should dismiss take for granted... yeah we do have virtual friends but they cant be like the ones you see everyday and face to face... you know.. you can chat all day long but at the end of the you log out and case closed, but your face-to-face friend will hang out with you and you can talk about anything( trust me, I get bored after sometime!) under the sun and the moon till dawn if you permit her(or him) to be with you. Well.... thats what friends are for..... to my old paddies, Biola, Tayo Jemz, Bonzo Ige, Jossie, Ejiks "Majic" Okoye, Ibukun Amoo,Sezuo Tenuche, Folly Ogunshakin and lotsa more... we had such a wonderful time, and Hopefully, when I visit Naija once more... we go jam together.... Te Qiero!!!
peace & love....

Love thy Neighbor...........Are you African enough?

Recently I have been feeling out of place , itching to go back to my home country, eat, drink and sleep with people of my kind, talk without feeling like a foreigner...but many people will tell me that they would rather not stay in their own country because, the government is bad, nothing to write home about and they are living in pure, undiluted poverty. Hmm...truth be said, I think they are right, because if Nigerians can migrate to South Africa and beg the South African government for a change of citizenship then what do will call it? I mean, no offence of South Africans, but I dont know why Africans will always be Africans, why do we make our people suffer at the expense of others... When I heard the late Stella Obasanjo died from a cosmetic surgery, I felt surprised but initially was aghast... I dont know what kind of surgery a 60-year old woman will want except you are a hollywood celebrity which of cause she wasnt and Nigerians can barely eat thrice daily ...what is this? I think we are just kidding ourselves on the fact that Africa will be better...maybe it wont...am I pessimist? no, but I just cant figure it out when we suffer infront of the whole world to see... For example, I am a student in Malaysia, recently, they are talking about making foreigners to pay more than the locals just because we dont contribute to their economy...yeah right? How can someone ever think foreigners dont contribute to their economy, I pay for everything that they expect me to, except that I am not working, so, I dont buy petrol which they have realised that they have to remove the subsidised oil prices and allow the non-Malaysians to pay more, also the hospital bills have to be un-subsidised also, is that fair? well dont ask me! I asked my Dad about the whole matter and he said, what is the difference between what is happening now to what had happened in South Africa during the apartheid, it seems obvious that they have the opportunity to categorise the Maalysians from the non-Malaysians and you have to feel that you arent contibuting at all so why should they care for you.. beats me though! Do we care for our African brothers so much to give the right to change their nationality or do we harbor hatred for them? it all depends on individuality because I have met alot of South Africans and other Africans and they have showed me the respect and love that we Africans are suppose to show eachother, maybe the blame is on the Government then...perhaps not!

PS: Not politicking ...just trying to ramble on the things I have seen and read....tq
