Awuf Dey Run Belle

An uncle of mine likes to say, "Be watchful of what and where you eat". Normally when he says it, I reason that he is insinuating that there are wicked people out there who can try to poison others.

But last night reminded me that not only wicked people can poison someone. Food too dey poison person.

Food poisoning is becoming common now. Even our First Lady suffered from food poison a while back.

Last night I had my own dose. My friends got some nice and delicious pots of Isiewu. Omo see wakis(eating)! I chop well well!!

Few hours later, my stomach had a story to tell. I had serious stomach ache, I nor fit sleep.
I find cry cry, I nor see. I find laugh laugh, I nor fit. The only thing I could do was sweat profusely.

The break of dawn was a miracle to me because it meant I could go out and get drugs.

For night I just dey ask my sef, "who send me o!". My friends were just laughing. Funny enough they ate the same Isiewu and nothing happened to them. Maybe because na dem pay for the thing and me na osho-free chopping I do.

You guys are free to laugh at me. I'm just a typical example of the saying say "Awuf dey run belle".

INFO OF THE DAY: Earliest Form Of Processed Food
The earliest form of eating processed food started in early hunting culture when men who made a kill would be rewarded with a meal of the partially digested contents of the stomach of their prey.

Thank God I didn't live in that era. Now that foods are properly processed we still have food poison around.

Packaged Garri

Packaged garri. This is impressive, local industrialization. I went to buy recharge card and I saw a man buying it. He said that one person can't finish one pack because it is so much. It is sold for just 30naira.

I like it. This looks more Aje-butter-ish for chronic garri soakers/drinkers.

INFO OF THE DAY: Garri and Gari
Garri is a popular West African food made from cassava tubers.
The spelling 'garri' is mainly used in Nigeria, Cameroon, Sierra Leone, while 'gari' is used in Ghana.

Profile Picture Crazy

The level of craziness for DP, Avi and any other type of profile picture don dey turn another thing.

First, it was Tiwa Savage's engagement where the guests almost spoilt her proposal with shouts of "aww, wow, ooh". If you saw the video of her engagement, I'm sure you weren't able to make a word out of what Tee Billz said when he went down on one knee.

To see him face sef hard. All the BB users abi Andriod users just dey shout dey scream dey struggle to take pictures. If Tiwa was fresh Agege bread, I am sure she would have been compressed because the way people were struggling to take picture of her finger was like a mad rush for money.

Now, Tiwa's own wasn't as bad as the picture that was taken during Goldie Harvey's funeral yesterday. Her family specifically asked to have a small private ceremony, yet one Know-Know didn't just take pictures to spread around, the person took a picture of her in her casket. Come on! That's the height of disrespect, publicity crazy!

I know some people would say "different strokes......different folks". Me, WAG, I'm one special type of folk and I really didn't find the picture of Goldie lying in her casket funny.

INFO OF THE DAY: Origin of Social Media
Modern social media first surfaced in the early 1990s. One of the first social media sites was created in 1994 and it was called "Geocities." The concept was for users to create their own websites, characterized by one of six "cities" that were known for certain characteristics.

There has been a great advancement in social media from the 1990s up until now.

48 Hours Needed

I am just sitting down and trying to think about all I have to do today. Kai! I have so many errands to run that I don't think 24hours would be sufficient enough.

I need today to be like 48hours. Ooh! if wishes were horses...

I know this post might not have all my gbogboyene spice in it, might not be so interesting but just bear with me. Some days are just more than me. There is so little time but I always try my best to squeeze out time to blog.

So I have to hit the road. I'll see you tomorrow peeps. Have a nice day.

INFO OF THE DAY: Goldie Harvey and Justus Esiri's Burials.

Tipsy/Drunk

Last night I got into the tipsy zone and it was MAD! I loved it maybe because I haven't tasted alcohol for a while.

I think Champagne on code is minimized or legalized hard drugs #justsaying#. Because it brings out the joy in you.

Whether you dey vex before as you take Champagne you go start to dey smile stupidly.

Had fun with my friends and due to my tipsy mood I blabbed some blab-able. Not like I was drunk o. Tipsy and drunk to me is totally two different things.

Drunk, you have totally lost control and start vomiting and all that and expecting a mad hangover the next day.
Tipsy, you are just feeling the alcohol in your system, enjoying the feeling. You might lose a little bit of control but not total control, depends on the level of tipsy-ness.

So I was tipsy and since I am naturally blunt, it made me sharper and blunter, lol.
I just they fire my friends with insults. It was fun I swear. Enjoyed myself.

I did this post to explain the difference between tipsy and drunk from my own angle, for some peeps it might be different.

INFO OF THE DAY: Dipsomania
Dipsomania is an historical term describing a medical condition involving an uncontrollable craving for alcohol.http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=3999326711762319899#editor/target=post;postID=3113094167730150861
It was used in the 19th century to describe a variety of alcohol-related problems.

Over time, the term dipsomania became less common, replaced by newer ideas and terms concerning chronic and acute drunkenness and alcoholism.

I can just imagine if someone comes out in Nigeria to say he has Dipsomania, people go just shake head ask am why he dey try ganish the thing, that he is a drunkard.

Relationship Of Continence

This morning, while I was trying to think of what to blog about, a mail entered my box and its going to be my post.

Dear WAG,
Do you think a relationship can survive without sex? I am trying to try out something new with this cool guy I really love a lot and I told him we won't have sex. I don't know why I just took this decision, I guess its because I have been hurt in the past. Do you think I am making the right decision? Do relationships actually survive without sex these days?

Hmmm....I nor know wetin to talk o. This one pass me. Ok my reply here;
Dear WAG reader,
We are all different individuals. Sex is a thing of the mind. Nobody can make that decision for you. I hope you make the best decision and I sincerely hope the guy is worth it.

Oya over to you guys now, what do you think?

INFO OF THE DAY: Continence
This is the control of one's feeling, especially the desire to have sex. It is another word for sexual abstinence.

Wish For Twins

As a kid, I dreamt of having an identical partner-in-crime. And now, I wish to give birth to twins. Lately, I have been seeing pictures of twins and it woke my desire to have my own set of twins.

Giving birth to twins sha has an advantage, you go through one labour and push out two individuals, instead of two labour for two individuals.

Don't mind me joor, I'm still in my resting mood so I have time for some unserious thoughts.

I'm not the only one who has this twins thought. Most of my friends also admit that they wish to give birth to twins.

Now to a very funny question concerning twins. WAG readers, I have heard people say that in twins, one is usually very bright and the other very dull. Is this really true? I don't think so sha.

In conclusion, It would be nice to have twins 'WHEN I'M MARRIED' because some people can read upside down before dey say WAG don get belle.
I never get o. I am just dreaming #smiles#

INFO OF THE DAY: Yoruba Has The Highest Rate Of Twinning In The World
Nigeria has the highest rate of multiple births and more identical twins. The Yoruba has the highest rate of twinning in the world, at 45-50 twin sets (or 90-100 twins) per 1,000 live births, possibly because of high consumption of a specific type of yam containing a natural phytoestrogen which may stimulate the ovaries to release an egg from each side.

Yeah! I concur with the info, lots of Kehinde and Tawio/Taye.

*TWINNING
In biology and agriculture, its producing two offspring (i.e., twins) at a time, or having a tendency to do so.
Its also the pairing or union of two similar or identical objects.
In Mineralogy, its the formation of twin crystals.

I didn't even know the world 'twinning' until few seconds ago when I dug out that info.

He Regrets His Procrastination

A friend of mine has been getting on my nerves. Why? Because recently he started complaining and whining like a baby because of some chic he should have dated in the past who is now dating someone else.

He started saying things like "Omo, that babe been like me that year!"; "I should have dated that chic then."; "See the way that babe don over set!"; "Ha! WAG I sure say I go toast her again".

At least for school, dem teach us say,
A stitch in time save nine.
Opportunity comes but once.
Don't waste time collecting stones instead of diamond....

And my guy just did. He collected stones while his diamond was staring boldly at him. That chic was gaga for him. She could practically lick the floor he walked on then! Me sef dey vex for the babe that time say she dey do mumu follow the guy.

Its good for him. Next time he will sharpen up. In a way sha, I still feel sorry for him because I know that now, he regrets his procrastination with the girl.

INFO OF THE DAY: Attention Management
Attention management refers to models and tools for supporting the management of attention at the individual or at the collective level, and at the short-term (quasi real time) or at a longer term (over periods of weeks or months).

I guess my friend needs to take a course in attention management.

Body nor be firewood o person must rest. I looked in the mirror 3days ago and I wan scream die. I black like charcoal. Kai! Warri sun don kill me finish.

So I decided to start a new covert operation called "Operation Pause Waka and Rest", lol.

Yes o, I want to stay indoors for a while and pamper my skin so that the glow can come back. Anyway I officially started my operation day before yesterday. On Monday it was cool, I enjoyed the rest.

By Tuesday, my feet started itching and getting restless. You see peeps I haven't stayed at home a full working day for the past 6months so it was kind of strange for me. But I shout for my legs, I said "common relax joor, let's chill at least for some few days because next week we would be back on the street to continue hustling"

Now today, Wednesday, while I'm still in my resting mood, I decided to do social media Aproko and everywhere its RIP. I was like God who don kpeme(die) again?

Then I saw it. Justus Esiri, Nollywood veteran actor, kicked the bucket last night. Another Nigerian legend has taken a bow. May his soul rest in peace, Amen.

Social media has overtaken pornography as the No. 1 activity on the web.

Network Problem

Hey Peeps,
I'm having serious network problem and its really pissing me off. For more than 24hours now, I haven't been able to browse. I don call the customer service center of my network provider tire so tey I'm sure that I know the names of all their customer care agents.

Its really annoying. This present day and time, internet is a necessity so I'm sure most of you can imagine how I'm feel right now
It took the Grace of God for me to do this post, I had to travel and cross broders to get to a friend's place and the network is equally bad here but atleast its manageable for me to be able to blog.

My service provider said they are trying to fix the problem and I should be patient with them. I hope they get it fixed on time. I have tried different networks before this present one and I have come to the conclusion that network problem is a normal issue with our telecommunication networks.

INFO OF THE DAY: Number of Active Mobile Subscripers in Nigeria

Like A Handshake

One of my guys told me that a girl once said, "sex is just like a handshake". There is no big deal about it. No too much emotions, you straf just the way you shake hands. You do it and the next moment its like it never happened.
So for her, she can straf anybody it doesn't bother her. She is socializing and exchanging pleasantries.

Hmmm....I didn't want to be judgmental here but I couldn't hold it, I just have to talk.

So even if its just like a handshake that you forget after you are done, does that mean you should shake everybody you see. So mad man sef, you go shake am shey?

Girly whoever you are, wise up o. Life is all about using sense and discretion. The Queen of England doesn't do normal handshake that is just like a pleasantly. Place your self well in the world.

INFO OF THE DAY: HIV Statistic
In 2011, an estimated 2.5 million people were newly infected with HIV.
Now more than 34 million people now live with HIV/AIDS.
3.3 million of them are under the age of 15.

So as you are giving your handshake know that some people's hands are dirty(are HIV infected).

Power Of A Powerful Phone

Recently, my friend gave me a confusing gist. She said she met a guy and they exchange numbers. Right there in her front, as the guy dialed her number on his phone, both her name and surname appeared.

My friend say fear catch her. How possible is that? A guy who you haven't met before having her name and surname on his phone?!

Na e my girl loyal. She quietly asked the guy "Please who are you? Have we had a previous meeting before now? How come my name and surname is appearing on your phone?"

The guy said that his phone does that a lot. He uses a Samsung Galaxy Note II.

Now, me madam analyser, I just started analysing the story because my friend said her number isn't on any social site like facebook or twitter, so she is very shocked at how her number appeared on the guy's phone when she was certain that she had never met the guy before. When the guy dialed her number, it didn't show like a contact. It just showed her names then after the call, it showed "Unsaved contact. Do you want to save contact?"

Shey u understand. Her name wasn't even saved in his phone then.

Please WAG readers, how possible is this?
Nor be say my friend send me message to ask but I just wan know o, so I can update my sharpness CV.

Is it really possible that Samsung Galaxy Note II can do that?

Since my friend and the guy swore with their lives that they haven't met before, I feel that my kolo friend don put her profile for one site and she nor fit remember because the guy said he has had this kind of encounter before with others.

Abi is there more to the guy? Did he Jazz his phone, so that no one can deceive him with a fake identity #crazyfunnythought#

Like I said before, I'm sure the kolo put her profile on one site and she has forgotten, so the phone picked it from there. That's the power of a powerful phone.


INFO OF THE DAY: History of Samsung Galaxy Note II
The Galaxy Note II was unveiled 29 August 2012 at the Berlin Radio Show, and finally released in multiple markets at the beginning of October 2012. Samsung sold more than 3 million units within the first 37 days and it crossed 5 million in two months of its release.

Life Cut Short, RIP Goldie Harvey

She had it all; the fame, the money and the "beefers".
Goldie Harvey was one of the top celebrities in Nigeria.

Most people wished they could have a taste of her fun life. She had a good musicial career; she represented us at Big Brother Africa (where Nigerian's showed her lots of hatred), her reality show with her best friend, Derenle Edun was about to premier on TV and just a few days ago she was in Las Vegas for the Grammy awards.

She had everything; all the treats and flexing but now something we all dread has embraced her. She has been embraced by the cold arms of death.

I was really shocked yesterday to read that Goldie the skibobo singer(people cursed her for that skibobo song that she wore fake yansh) had passed on.
Few minutes after she arrived Nigeria from LA, she complained of head aches and was rushed to the hospital were she died. What a sad way to end Valentine's day.

Life! Every moment, every second counts. That we are alive now is a cause to thank God and celebrate.

Her admin tweeted this on her twitter handle, "This is Goldie's ADMIN WRITING. Please accept what has happened and pray for her soul. In death we are all equal no matter our beef"

Painful, that Goldie got more love dead than when she was alive. I just put the shocker of her death on my personal message and people wan ping my battery die with so many words of how "tragic", "pathetic", and "sad" the story of her death is. People are now using her for their dps and pms.

How many of these people actually loved her when she was alive? Goldie was trashed and insulted with talks about her performance at the BBA. Now she is gone, the haters and "beefers" are all showing love. So sad.

Life is too short for beef. Show love and be grateful for every second you have.

Ha! Goldie Harvey, the lady always on gold weaves won't walk on this earth ever again. What a short stay on planet earth. May her soul rest in perfect peace. Amen.

INFO OF THE DAY: Remains of Goldie
The remains of Oluwabimpe Susan a.k.a Goldie has been deposited at the mortuary of Lagos Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos State.
Adieu Goldie! RIP

Stop The Valentine Beef

Its Valentine, a day of love but I have been seeing some hateful or beefing status such as;
'Abeg make person hear word! After all, the val na still straf guy and girl go do'.
'If your boyfriend treats you special on a normal day no need for the valentine fuse'.
'There are 365 days in the calender, why the big deal of love over just one day'.
'Don't be carried away with the drama of Feb 14 because True Love isn't once in a year'.
'Val is for kids'.
'Valentine ko valentine ni, abeg make i hear word'.

Peeps, what's up with the beef? Na who nor get money na go say beer bitter.

I believe most of the people that are writing all this negative val statuses are the val-less ones or those who desperately need a val. That's their own way of consoling themselves.

Yesterday, I followed an Uncle of mine who went val shopping for his wife of over 15years and it was so lovely watching him take his time to get the perfect gift.

Please leave the love birds and let them enjoy their day. Stop the beef.

If you don't have a boyfriend/girlfriend to celebrate with, there is nothing wrong with that. You can celebrate it with you family and friends.

Don't be beefing people or wishing you had a Val. Take it like a normal day of fun. You can give yourself a treat, hang out with friends and have fun(that's what I'm gonna do).

INFO OF THE DAY: Quirkyalone and SAD Day
Started by a group of feminists, "Quirkyalone Day" is celebrated on February 14 as an alternative to Valentine's Day. It is geared toward people who "resist the tyranny of coupledom."
Another alternate Valentine's Day celebration is SAD (Single Awareness Day), which reminds people that they don't need to be in a relationship to celebrate life.

Quirkyalone Day ke! Abeg e, deep down in every individual, there is a wish to love and be loved.

Football is Cool Cash

The Super Eagles don hammer! Football is the new politics, the new quick money. But its still a lot better than our Nigerian politics because these guys actually worked for their money. Unlike those big pot-bellied politicians who just sit and do nothing but get money.

The team arrived back in Nigeria yesterday and were hosted to a banquet by the President at the Presidential Villa.

Cash donations of 10 million Naira was given to the Head Coach, Stephen Keshi and 5 million Naira each, to the assistant coaches and the twenty three players that took part in the tournament.

National honors were also conferred on the team. The honour of Commander of the Order of Niger (CON) was conferred on Coach Stephen Keshi while the assistant coaches and captain of the team, Joseph Yobo were conferred with Officer of the Order of Niger (OON). Other members of the team were conferred with Members of the Order of Niger, (MON).

The President announced the allocation of a plot of land in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, to each member of the team and the technical crew.

Also, cash donations were announced by the President;
Mike Adenuga (Jnr) donated $1million to the players and $200,000 to Stephen Keshi.
Africa's richest man, Aliko Dangote donated 5million naira to each of the players.

Emeka Ofor, Jim Ovia and Tony Elumelu donated $500,000 each to the team.

Obobe! These boys don hammer die. Na the substitutes for the team naim I happy for pass. Some nor even play at all! Them just go mark present for attendance and in return they have millions in their account.

Good for the players; they worked hard for this.

INFO OF THE DAY: Some parts of the President's speech
"Not many people believed you could win. In spite of the skepticism, there was no despair.

"Your victory is a good indication that there is victory for us as we work hard to transform Nigeria. We will continue to give sports its pride of place. The major lesson of your victory is that no matter the number of people who doubt you, never doubt yourself".

For coach Stephen Keshi, the president told him " You have my full support" adding that the "qualification of the team for the 2014 world cup in Brazil is your next agenda and you must not fail".

I admit, at the beginning I was one of the people that had doubts about the Super Eagles but after their win over Cote'Divore, I come over believe the team.

So Keshi please I beg, don't break my heart. Give us another awesome performance at the World Cup 2014.

Love In 3mins / Keshi Withdraws Resignation

This morning has been hilarious so far. There was a transportation difficulty and I was running late. As I stood at the park praying for vehicles to come quickly, a guy walked up to me and asked where I was headed to?
"Effurun round-about.", I replied. He said he was headed that way and I could join him in his car.

Wow! I smiled and said to myself, "Thank you Baba God! You really know say your daughter gats to move".

I got into the guy's car and we exchange pleasantries and before I could say Jack, the guy don start serious toasting o.

"I was mesmerized when I first saw you that's why I walked up to you. I'm single and desperately searching for a wife. I know you are a decent girl and you are the kind of girl I would like to marry".

For my mind, I say see this one. WASHI! Abeg, who still dey use 'mesmerized' take toast girl? And again why do guys use the marriage line? They think by saying it, every girl would just gladly date them.

I didn't say one word. I just told myself "manage until you get to the round-about."

The guy just dey blab on, e nor gree stop. Me, sef I nor dey listen again but one particular line when he throw catch my attention. I say I don jam today.

He said, "I know I'm going to marry you because I love you so let's date for a while".
I was like, "Seriously?"
He said, "Yes baby, I'm head over heels in love with you".
I wan provoke frm inside, baby don join the talk now.

"How is it possible but you just met me about 3mins ago", I said.
He replied, "I loved what I saw 3mins ago my heart skipped a beat...."
Na I say, "please stop the wash"

It was like the guy was cursed with the spirit of talking. The wash I said just added petrol to the fire.
Na the guy start o, "that's why I don't like Warri people, anything you tell them, they would say na washi. Its even in the bible,'out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh', 'ask and you shall receive', God directed Jacob to his wife' ....

The guy just kept on blahing.
He was like, "Baby, you see why I'm saying my mind. I really want our relationship to start so we can marry quickly. Let's spend the weekend together".

I nor reply again. Thanks be to God we had gotten to the roundabout. I told him thanks and he asked for my number. I said, "Ok, give me your phone". I typed the wrong digits on the phone and quickly alighted.
As I was walking away, he said "Baby the number isn't connecting".
"My phone is off; battery down", I replied and kept on walking as fast as my feet could carry me.

Even as I type this post, I'm still laughing over the whole encounter. Some guys sha, they really need to go and see Dr. Hitch to learn how to toast a babe.

INFO OF THE DAY: Keshi Withdraws His Resignation
Yesterday news went viral of the Super Eagles Coach resignation but Vanguard news is says that report reaching them from South Africa says the glorious Super Eagles handler, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi has withdrawn his resignation, after a meeting with the Minister of Sports, Bolaji Abdullahi.

Keshi indeed resigned but it was verbal and not written. As soon as the news went viral, a series of emergency meetings were held and in the end, the 51-year-old made a u-turn and withdrew his resignation.

Like I said before, Yanga Tinz.

All Out Support

You all know how much I anticipated the AFCON 2013 final match and to God be the Glory, we won! My relief and joy knew no bounds because I went all out to support the Super Eagles.

I meant it when I said ‘All out’. I korlorbi-ed (took) my cousin’s Nigeria jersey on top the matter o. I was prepared and ready to support the Eagles.
At 7:00pm, my family know say the matter don pass be careful when dey saw me balance in front of the TV with Nigeria jersey.
My mumsy said “hmmmm….your own strong o! Nor be small. You really take this match serious o!”

Me, WAG, I said “history isn't just going to go down today, I’m also going to have fun”. So my younger sister started taking me pictures at different stages of the match and it was indeed fun.

At the beginning, I prayed for the Super Eagles
prayer

I opened my eyes while praying to make sure the match hasn't started *winks*

After that, I sang the national anthem with the Super Eagles

The match started, I smiled having hopes

My smile was turned into a shout of joy as the winning goal was scored by Sunday Mba.

After that, I continued smiling, my mumsy was smiling as well. We had the upper hand, we were leading the game.

Then few minutes to the end of the game, anxiety set in. I couldn’t move. My eyes were fixed on the screen. I was scared of an equalizing goal from the Burkinabes. I just wanted to hear the final whistle to know it was over.

And we won.
After 19years...On a Sunday, the No.19 player whose name is Sunday gave us a win

INFO OF THE DAY: Keshi Made History
Super Eagle coach, Stephen Keshi made history as he became the 2nd African who has lifted the AFCON trophy both as a player and a coach.
Keshi won the AFCON cup as a player in 1994 when he captained of the Super Eagles.
Impressive! The only other African to have done this is the national coach of Egypt, El-Gohary.

Speaking of captains, I got some complains from readers about Joseph Yobo. They said he held on to the AFCON cup too strongly and refused to let it go. Abeg make una nor vex for am. Even as he played 2mins game, na still our captain so he wan try enjoy his moment while it lasts because the end time for him as a Super Eagle player is near.
It's almost time for him to step back and leave the field for them Emenike and Victor Moses to work their magic.

Tension And Hope: Nigeria vs Burkina Faso

Today, 10th of Feb 2013, history is about to go down. Its the AFCON finals.

Obobe! If you see the way I dey reason this match so, make I nor go injure myself o. The match time is still quite far but am just anticipating and being hopeful that the Cup will be ours.

Now I'm tensed up small due to the fact that our Super Champion, Emenike might not be playing today's final match due to a muscle tear he suffered in the last match against Mali.

But its a sign of relief to know that another Super Champion, Victor Moses is going to be in the game. Thank God say Moses dey confirm because at all, at all na winch o.

There has been so much predictions about the match. Most people are saying it would be Nigeria 2 - Burkina Faso 1.

If they like it should be Nigeria 16 - Burkina Faso 10, as long as Nigeria has the higher number of goals.

Anticipation is killing me. For once I want the weekend to fly by quickly so that evening fit reach make I watch the match.

INFO OF THE DAY: AFCON Facts Between Nigeria and Burkina Faso.
This is Nigeria's 7th appearance in the AFCON finals while its the 1st appearance for Burkina Faso. The Super Eagles were finalists in 1980, 1984, 1988, 1990, 1994 and 2000.
Nigeria have won the title twice in 1980 and 1994 while Burkina Faso have never won.

Nigeria have scored 10 goals and conceded 4 en route to the finals while Burkina Faso have scored 7 and conceded just two; an indication that today's battle will be between best defense and the best attack.
The two nations have met eight times with Nigeria still unbeaten after claiming five wins and three draws.

I'm anticipating a win for the Super Eagles.

Stay Sharp,
Warri Girl.

INFO OF THE DAY: Brymo
In 1999, while still attending high school, Brymo(born as Ashimi Olawale) wrote his first song, aged just 14. Pleased with his results, the young Brymo was inspired to pursue a career in music.

In 2002, while still attending secondary school, Brymo formed a band called Aliens with three friends. By 2005 the band broke up. It had not been particularly successful, and several of the members needed to return to school. Shortly after the disbanding of his group Aliens, Brymo moved into a solo career.

In 2008 Brymo released a hit single Shawdy, but he had his big break in 2010 when he meet M.I and was signed to Chocolate City record label along side Jesse Jagz and Ice Prince.

The Victor Moses Story

This story made wave yesterday and I received it from different people. Its a story about Nigerian football player Victor Moses. Its kind of like a short autobiography of him.

It reads;
This is the story of a young boy whose parents were murdered during 2002 riots in Kaduna. He was aged 11 years at the time. His parents, Mr. Austine and Mrs. Josephine Moses, were missionaries until they met their untimely death.

The boy left his house to play football but returned home to see that all his parents had laboured for had been razed down and he would never see his mother and father again.

He was taken to London by his uncle almost immediately after the incident. While in London, he began deploying his football skills. Though his parents were murdered, his passion for football was never killed. He played football for his school and later for a local Tandridge League club until Crystal Palace FC approached him. From that point, his career progressed in leaps and bounds.

This player played for England's under 16, 17, 19 and 21 teams between 2005 and 2010 scoring 11 goals for England during this period. He later moved to Wigan Athletic and now he plays for Chelsea. This footballer is called VICTOR MOSES.


His story is a touching one, I share his pains. I also share his courage. He had a choice not to step into Nigeria again but he didn't take that option.

When the call to serve his fatherland came, Moses dumped England and embraced Nigeria... That is patriotism!

Today, we see a Victor Moses bringing joy to every Nigerian including those who may have inspired his parent's death... That is Love!
On Sunday, Moses would stand for the National Anthem and pledge allegiance to a country that couldn't defend his parents... That is faith!

Moses would deliver the "African Cup of Nations" trophy to Nigeria not minding what had happened in the past... That is forgiveness! Moses rose through bitterness and despair to the limelight of hope and courage.
He never gave up on his country. He persevered... That is purpose!
If someone like Victor Moses, despite the bitter past, never gave up on Nigeria, then why should we....! ONE NIGERIA


WAG readers, doesn't this remind you  of another touching story that once captured the heart of almost every Nigerian. I'm talking about the story of 'I had no shoes'. The GEJ story.

I had to do some Google check to confirm this Victor Moses story because I nor ready post any gbogboyen nonsense(unreal fact) on my blog.

It turned out that the story was quite true. His parents were killed in the Kaduna crisis and a week later with the help of an uncle he was flown to London where he was registered as an asylum seeker.

Ok but the part of 'he went to play ball' when his parents were killed, I don't know how true that is but he was  lucky enough to be out of the house that day.

I have to say Victor Moses has a huge heart to come back and play for Nigeria when he could have made the England team.
Whoever wrote that autobiography, nice work.You made some people like me know about his past before he made our national team.

INFO OF THE DAY: Victor Moses Birthday
Victor Moses who plays for both Chelsea and the Super Eagles was born on the 12th of December, 1990.

Like seriously, how can this tough face be 22years old? Hmmm....football age sha!

Stay Sharp,

AFCON 2013 Semi Finals

If you missed yesterday's AFCON 2013 semi final matches, HA! I don't know what to say but you really missed.

Its either you watch the replay on Supersports or you go to Igbo market and ask the Igbo boys whether they have a recorded copy of the matches.

Yesterday's games were spellbinding.
First, the spectacular performance by the Super Awesome Eagles of Nigeria which got us a straight ticket to the finals; then the tension filled match between Burkina Faso and Ghana.

Nigeria was on fire; the Super Eagles were on fire with a 4-1 win over their Malian opponents.

A friend of mine said he had high hopes for the match so he was going to paint his face in our nation's colours. Thank God the painting wasn't in vain. I guess for the finals, he would paint his whole body.
Me I nor paint my face o but my gullet almost burst as I just dey shout GOAL!!!!

Twile for the Super Eagles! Twile for Stephen Keshi!! I think we Nigerians owe him a big apology because at the beginning of the competition, we didn't have hopes for the Super Eagles but now we do.

The last time we had so much enthusiasm for the Super Eagles was in Atlanta '96. Now, they have woken up that spirit and made up for the years of their sleeping football.

The finals is a case of 'the first shall be the last'. If you recall Nigeria Vs Burkina Faso was the opening match for Group C of the competition and now again its Nigeria Vs Burkina Faso at the finals on Sunday.

Nigeria is winning the AFCON 2013 cup, Emenike is winning highest goal scorer and Enyeama is winning keeper of the tournament.

My confidence in the Eagles is so great, more than 100%.
So I can proudly say, I am WAG - the Kpokish 1, a Nigerian and I need a Nigerian jersey.

INFO OF THE DAY: Keshi May Resign If Nigeria Wins
Stephen keshi shocked media men when he stated that he could resign as coach of the Super Eagles aftre the AFCON 2013.
"If I win the cup I may pack and leave, I'm a professional coach, Nigeria is where my heart is and if there's any more offer out there...," Keshi said.

Hmmm...Yanga Tinz. E reach for am to make yanga joor, after we don give the man serious heat because of the first two performances.

Relax Keshi, your job is secured. Your boys are in the finals.

Stay Sharp,
Warri Girl.

Heartbreak Turn Proposal

From my university days till date, my friend, Monica and I have always been referred to as sisters. People say there is a striking resemblance between us. We aren’t in the slightest bit related, we are just friends. Me, sha I don’t see the resemblance but maybe you might.

Take a look at these pictures and tell me if you see any resemblance.
picmix-412013-135335
That’s me on the left and Monica on the right.

m&m1
This was taken in 2010 at Abraka Motel. Monica on the left this time and I’m with scarf on the right.
m&m2
See my mouth. I have always been an aproks Winking smile

Ok now to the aproko of the day, in relation to my post title ‘Heartbreak Turn Proposal’, Monica my darling rabbit has metamorphosed from the single stage to the engaged stage.
Monica got hooked. Yeah!

This is how it all went down;
Monica met her fiancee, Lulu, in March last year. They started dating a few months later and on Sunday the 2nd of Feb, 2013, he gave her the best present ever(na so she talk am o).

It’s a funny engagement story. On Saturday, Monica was home when Lulu called asking her to meet him up at someplace(I guess that was supposed to be the proposal venue) but she said she was feeling feverish and couldn’t go and meet him.
He tried persuading her to come out instead of him going over to her place but she refused. Naim the guy vex o, say in short the relationship is over, say e nor wan do again.

Come and see my friend wan turn mad woman. From fever e change to heartbreak, she just dey cry of heart ache, lol.
The next day, sharpadly my girl was on the move to Lulu’s house to start pleading with him and he asked her these, “Do you still want this relationship? Are you sure I’m truly what you want?”. Monica replied “Yes”

He walked away and she kept on staring, wondering what was going through his mind. Wondering if everything was back to normal between them. He came back and the next thing she saw was Lulu, one knee on the ground, with a small box and he asked the dream question “Would you marry me”.

My friend said she just kept on screaming and screaming YES. Lulu never intended to breakup with her, he only wanted the proposal to be a huge surprise and catch her off guard. That he did.

I’m so happy for my facial sister/friend. Wow!
Story ended….pictures continue;

Wedding bells are ringing for Monica and Lulu. Funnily, Monica just did a traditional makeup photo shoot for her sister who is a make up artist, so I have a sneak peak of how she is going to look on her traditional marriage day.

Beautiful isn’t it? Just that on the real day my Rab would be far more beautiful than this.

N.B: I think I had a dress mishap in 2010, shame on me for my bra showing in those pictures #eyesclosed#

Thanks to Monica, I didn’t undergo all that process of guys palming(touching) ass and breast all in the name of teaching a girl how to swim. She was the one who taught me how to swim.

Yeah the ring is on the 3rd finger instead of the 4th, e nor matter, so far e dey the hand.

INFO OF THE DAY: My No.1 Man’s Birthday.
Today is the birthday of my one and only, precious, darling father. The man has been my guild and pillar of support and hope through out all these years.

He was actually the aided the gingered which made me to start blogging. One day he asked me “what’s your talent?”. I didn’t precisely know what my talent was. I just knew I was smart, sharp, intelligent and I take note of little details that others ignore. That’s when I realized I could blog with that. I told him and he said,“go ahead, start and be good at it”.

Happy birthday Daddy, I love you so much and I’m grateful to God for bringing you this far. Many more years ahead for us.

Shout out to my pospy. Gbosa!!!
Today's post is obviously a post of joy.

Unbelievable Performance

Last night's performance by the Super Eagles was a shocker for Nigerians.

I can't still believe their wonderful performance. The Eagles played so well against The Elephants of Côte d'Ivoire. They brought their A game.
That was their best performance so far since the AFCON 2013 started.

E real clear say 'when you are faced with death, you do the unimaginable. Fence wen you nor fit jump on a normal day, you go jump am that day'.
The Super Eagles knew they were up against the giantic Elephants, who people regarded as the best team in Africa and 14th in the world.
So body real tell the Eagles say na death dem dey face so, and they did the unexpected and won with a clean 2-1 score line.

Thumbs up Super Eagles. You guys deserve a standing ovation.

I can confidently say AFCON 2013 finals here we come. Our next match is the semi-final game against Mali. With what I saw our team play yesterday, the semi-final match should be a leg(work)over for us.

INFO OF THE DAY: Drogba's Past in AFCON
Drogba was a part of the Côte d'Ivoire sides which reached the final of the Africa Cup of Nations in 2006 and 2012, but were beaten on penalties on both occasions.

Twice at the final and never wining the nations cup, Drogba had hopes for the cup this AFCON 2013 because this is probably his last appearance in AFCON.

Drogba be vexing now #Icanjustimagine#

The Disvirgin Covenant

It's mail time. Another mail has been sent in by a WAG reader.

The mail;
Who disvirgined you? Or The disvirgin covenant...

Covenants are bonds. Easy to initiate but not too easy to disassociate. True? How do we retrieve those words we ones spat out from our mouth to a friend, an ex, a hooker or may be our God or god?

"Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh..." I hope I am correct on that quote?
We must have said a lot of things to your first love and got a lovely reply from him/her too. We must have kissed so deep and made a lot of vows which we never gave a second thought at that point.
To the guys: Before she finally allowed you drill down her green resource bottom hole property (wildcat* drilling: Disvirgin* things), she reminded you about the vow which you didn't mind because you needed to conserve the energy for a wildcat drilling ahead.

Seriously, she said "I have vowed to myself before now that any man who first see my nakedness would be my hubby" and you were like "together forever" and she smiled and said "you are the lucky one". You both had a good time and enjoyed the relationship while it lasted. Few years later, she wanted to "move-on" or may be you wanted to try "something new". With just a few quarrels here and there, both of you had parted ways.

What happens to those vows? Can they really be for real? Do they work? Is It possible one has already bonded him/her self unknowingly? Can we link any of those small small vows to our present situation?

I have heard talks about sex being a spiritual bond with your partner. In your own private moment, you start wondering if its really true and how it has affected your present life situation.

Me, WAG, I say 'it's Life, shit happens. You deal with it and move on'.
Our success is based on how we handle our failures.

INFO OF THE DAY: Lisa Sparks
Lisa Sparks (born October 6, 1977) , a porn star, had intercourse with 919 men in 24 hours, setting a new world record in 2004.
Lisa Sparks

*Shocked*surprised*unbelievable*

Omo things dey happen for this word o. So if truly there is a spiritual bond during intercourse, this babe just allowed 919 spirits into her in one day.
She is a world record holder for strafing so, Na wa o!

Office Of The First Lady

The Office of the First Lady!

Like play, like play the First Lady is gradually shifting from been a ceremonial office to an Executive Office. This isn't right.

For crying out loud, the office of the First Lady isn't known in the constitution. So why is there a N4billion vote in the 2013 budget of the Federal Capital Territory for the First Lady's Mission, which is Dame Patience Jonathan's mission. The N4billion is for building a mission office for the first lady.

Senators who reviewed the FCT budget yesterday kicked against the expenditure; Senator Babajide Omoworare said:
The Women Development Centre is there for the use of the First Lady to do anything she wants to do and I'm not aware that there's a First Ladies Mission in the US where we copied the presidential system of government. There's no such building in South Africa or Ghana that is our neighbour.

Why do we copy and not copy with sense in this country. The thing dey pain person. Have you ever heard of the American government allocating billions to the First Lady to build mission house? Kai! The thing dey pain person. See the kain big money self, 4billion not million o.

What is the First Lady's project all about sef? Let's assume its a project to help Nigerians, maybe to help the poor. So if the mission house is built with N4billion naira, how much would be left to carry out the so called project. That N4billion alone can go a long way in helping some Nigerias.

9ja! Hope we won't soon see Office of The First Daughter, The First Son, The First Uncle and The First Aunty.

INFO OF THE DAY: The Proposed Budget of FCTA
The budget of the FCTA totaling N253.199billion, of which N48.034billion is for personnel cost; N49.504billion is for overhead, while the balance of N155.66billion is for capital projects for the service of the FCT.

Investigation In Delta

'We dey watch am, E dey enta! Odidigboyibo!'
This was the song which was sang for Ibori when he won a case in court in which he was accused of being an ex-convict. The case was thrown out of court and it was ruled that the so called ex-convict wasn't Chief James Onanefe Ibori, who was Govenor of Delta State as at that time.

The way the Odidigboyibo was sang hen, you go reason say Ibori was untouchable but God pass am. See where he is now, serving jail term.

His case brings Delta State to mind when an issue of government fraud is brought up.

Now there is another reason to investigate in Delta State.
The Economic and Financial Crime Commission(EFCC) has decided to investigate the Asaba International Airport.

Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, on Wednesday, spoke on the investigation of Asaba International Airport by the EFCC, insisting that he was prudent in the airport construction, which had a contract value of N27.7 billion. He said it was the cheapest airport constructed anywhere in the country.

EFCC carry on with your investigation and tell us your findings. We dey wait.

There is a final judge in our lives and that is God. Nobody pass am.

INFO OF THE DAY: 100meters Gone
Today is a new day of a new month. We just crossed the first 100meters of the 1200meters race in 2013. Welcome to the 200meters, welcome to the second month of the year, welcome to February.

Happy New month darlings.
