Did You Miss Me?
There is a reason for everything, that's what people say. So due to the fact that I couldn't blog for two days, I decided to convert the circumstances beyond my control to an experiment.

As you can see I never kpeme(die) but I knew somewhere deep down in the bottomest bottom of myself, that those days weren't totally complete because I didn't have a post.
Omo my people the matter too many for me to start to dey put the tory. The random thoughts when I store for my brain for this past two days be say 'everything actually happens for a reason', 'life na just experiment of self discovery' and 'you can never tell what the future holds'

Who Is The Bride?
Initially, a thought ran through my mind that maybe the lady on braids was the bride, and the other lady on short weavon was the one who made the book, then I looked at the bottom and saw courtesy the couple.

Local Government Elections, Curfew And Wedding
No movement at all at all. I sleep, I wake up, I sleep again I wake up. That was just the order of my day, and thanks to PHCN they made it more boring for not giving us light. Today of all days, when dey ask people make dem sit down house naim we suppose get 24hours light, so that person nor go feel like prisoner inside house.
My complain is even small compared to that of one of my friends, who came for a wedding only to be told that there wasn't going to be movement. The wedding was then shifted from morning to 5pm in the evening and reception by 8pm.
In short the reception may still be going on. I hope the couple get a good turnover of guests. Anyway this is Abuja, people move at all hours of the day. If na for some other places, fear nor go make guests go for 8pm wedding o, make dey nor go thief their cars.
I am happy for the couple. Plus election, minus election, they were still joined together as husband and wife.

People Affected By 'My Oga At The Top'
Not only were t-shirts made, an #myogaatthetop twitter group was created, a 'my oga at the top' facebook page was also created. Then there were different songs released for 'my oga at the top'. They are all hilarious but the most shocking of the all is that someone has purchased the domain name of 'my oga at the top'.
The site isn't fully operational now but the domain name www.myogaatthetop.com has been bought and taken.
There are two people who have been affected by this 'my oga at the top' trend.
In first place we have AKPOS. You all know how akpos don suffer for curse and joke matter. Now AKPOS can breath because 'my oga at the top' has taken the spotlight.
The 2nd is Mr. Obafaiye Shem, the Lagos State Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC) who got nationwide fame by yaning gbagaun(speaking wrongly) on TV.
Ha! Na wa o! How this man take reach the position of State Commandant?

1st Or 2nd To Last
All my life, when people ask what position I am among the children, I usually say 3rd born or '2nd to the last'.
This night someone just corrected me that it isn't '2nd to the last', it should be '1st to the last' because looking at it literally, '2nd to the last' means there is one more child after me before the last born whereas '1st to the last' means I am the 1st person before the last born.
My friend claimed to have been making the same mistake as well until recently when he was corrected.
I was so surprised to know that '2nd to the last' may not be correct. This is something I have heard often from alot of people. Anyway we learn everyday.
So before I take this correction, I want to do a survey to know what you guys think. Is it supposed to be '2nd to the last' or '1st to the last'?
INFO OF THE DAY: Children Have Loud Voices.

Out Of Town But Still Made In Warri
I have something important to share with you guys. I have left Warri City. I can't say precisely when I would be back. I would be returning once once sha but for now my base has changed.
Change, the only constant thing in life, has happened to me. Presently now, I am breathing the same air with President Goodluck Jonathan. Hopefully maybe a piece of the national cake go reach my side, lol.
With the whole relocation abi change of environment stuff, my friends have being asking me what I am going to do about my blog? Since I am out of Warri now, Am I going to change my blog name? Am I going to quit blogging totally?
No! I am not quitting blogging and I am not changing my blog name. Oba nor dey go transfer but he fit go visitation or vacation. That's the way it is for me, I am out of the town doesn't mean I am not WAG. You can take me out of the town but you can't take the town spirit out of me.
Now the only problem is that my schedule has gotten tighter, so I don't think I can continue with the every morning post. Still thinking do I post daily? Or once in two days? Or post anytime I get inspiration.
After much deliberation, I have decided to still continue blogging daily but instead of mornings, I would be posting every EVENING for now. Better still, you can subscribe to my blog via email so as not to miss any post.
So that's that. I would see you guys tomorrow evening. I still remain WAG, the Kpokish one, with more interesting gist about my experiences and adaptation in Abuja.

Child Abuse Or Not?
I don't think those boys must have finished secondary school. They were really young. I looked at my watch and it was 11:30pm, I was like WHAT? Why are they out performing in a joint at this hour? Aren't they suppose to be studying?
I was still reasoning those questions when a bigger bomb was thrown. The youngest member of the group was introduced; a 4year old boy and he danced very, very well. He could do every step - Azonto, Etighi, Twisting, Gala and Co.
I was complaining of the older ones whom I assumed to be in secondary school. For this 4year old boy, I couldn't talk.
The little boy thrilled the crowd. Come and see spraying, as in that child must have taken nothing less than 50k home last night. The MC insisted that since he was so young, the least amount to spray him with was 1000 naira, and people were spraying.
Some one sitting behind me then made a statement. "This is child abuse using this young boy to make money at this hour. If it was during the day it would have been fine but at almost midnight, nah! Its child abuse."
I guess I wasn't the only one who found it strange to see children performing so late in the night.
WAG readers, is it child abuse or not? What do you guys think.
One thing I know for sure be say, if to say by MISTAKE(I know sha I won't allow my baby perform so late at night for people drinking and smoking), na my pikin be that. I would jejely sit beside the stage and be watching the money. In short, na me go personally pick the money before one stage manager come give me story say na 100 naira dey spray, Lol.
