I Found Him

On the 31st of December last year, I did a post about how I found you guys, my blogging family, you made my 2012.

This year I found someone bigger and greater, I found God.

I'm a born, baptised and confirmed Catholic so I can say I have known God all my life but year 2013 was a different experience with Him.

Survivor is what I call myself. I always say, "I can survive any situation" with God but truthfully then, I never really felt God. I just knew he was there, I was one of all those sha-sha people that usually say "God dey" just so far we done talk am.

This year 2013, I had a divine encounter with God. I felt his essence in my life. He is not just there, he lives in us.

At the beginning of the year, I went through a difficult phase, I think it's the most difficult phase I have ever experienced and I asked God the forbidden WHY question. I asked Him, "WHY you would do this to me?"

One particular sunday after Mass, I knelt at the altar in front of the Blessed Sacrament and I cried(I hardly cry, that one of my body function I don't understand. I don't tear up easily like others).

But this day I cried and asked for his help. From then on, it became a different story. I began to move to greater heights, in ways you can't imagine. Trivial things brought great results. It just kept on getting better for me from then on.

I felt the Essence of God. I know He is there and the drastic turn around in my life made 2013 a great year not just for me but for my family. Each member of my family has a great testimony to tell.

What more can I say than Oghene Doo! Osolobruvwe Wekobi ro! God I thank You!

Relax, I'm not throwing my jeweries, hairs and trousers away for puff hand blouses to form Depper Life Spirikoko. I'm still myself; playful WAG acknowledging the presence of God.

INFO OF THE DAY: December 31, 1879
Let there be light! On New Year's Eve 1879, Thomas Edison gives a public showing of his new invention, the electric incandescent lamp. The world has never been the same since.

May our light shine into the new year. 2014, Let's Go There!

How Silly Can A Man Be?

I took a stroll and decided to put a call across to someone special. While making the call, a Toyota Odyssey parked in front of me.

I continued walking down the pavement and as I walked towards the car, I saw the passenger side glass go down. I walked passed the car. The driver started horning but I kept on walking.

Obobe! The horn went on continuously and it was so loud like a fire alarm. Me, WAG I still kept strolling on.

What do you expect? I should stop and walk towards the car? Hell NO! If the guy wanted to talk to me, courtesy demanded he parked his car properly and walk up to me not him horning and me running towards the car like one mumu and he feels like one mega star. NO! I'm better than that.

I continued having a good time on the phone, I don even forget the car when suddenly the car pulled up to me and the guy shouted "FOOL"

I was amazed and I looked around to see the guys behind me laughing.
They said, "see Ekpa(fool in urhobo) dey call person fool". Omo babe you fall the guy hand. E pain am!"

Like seriously, how silly can a man be? Maybe that one get wife when dey wait for am for house and he dey road dey misbehave. Kai!

I really had a good laugh sha, thanks to the *Tupangar's behaviour. You know they say there is a reason for every thing, so I take this as a reason for me to blog this night. Indirectly, the Tupangar affected me positively because I dey nack the gist now #aprokotinz#

INFO OF THE DAY: TUPANGAR
A slang in Warri for someone who behaves silly or weird. This is different from mad or kolo. It can be defined as a name for a normal person who behaves abnormally in a normal situation. Inadequate use of common sense can also be linked to 'Tupangar'

A new slangs to your vocabulary guys, thanks to me ;)

A Shocker From Timaya

How many of you have heard Timaya's song titled "Sex Tape"? If you haven't, stop here...download the song, then come back to read the post.

I'm sure you were as shocked as I was when I heard the song. Like seriously?! Singing with all those words, well... "2mins man" and the rest.

I swear Timaya gave me a shocker with that song. The first time I heard about the song was from my friend Powei. I just saw "Timaya's Sex Tape" on her pm and I was like "Shooo! Timaya don turn Kim K when dey do ST, Nigerians sha! We like copy-copy."

She laughed and told me it was a song but e dey equivalent to Kim K own and she sent me the song.

When I listened to it, my ears almost exploded. Not all American artist can be bold to sing with those words Timaya used. I'm like, omo men! Timaya bold sha o, to sing this song. Funny enough the song is interesting, I won't lie. The beat and the flow of the lyrics to the beat is nice. If you didn't actually listen to the words at first you would say the song is nice.

Timaya has raised the bar for explicit lyrics for Nigerian artists. Hope they won't go and actually do a Sex Tape video one day o! Biko they shouldn't try it.

INFO OF THE DAY: Facts About Timaya
Timaya was a back-up singer for Eedris.
His other name The Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa means "The Peoples Town Crier"

So Timaya has blown our ears with this particular song but please I advise, always listen to this song with an ear piece...just in case your father is listening.

Stay Sharp,

Post For Malcolm

I should have done this post since but I couldn't due to my tight schedule.

Malcolm is my protege; the guy I taught how to blog. I did a post about him last year titled "Pay It Forward".

I still think back to when we got connected a year ago and he asked me questions about blogging. The first thing I asked him was what he wanted to blog about. I asked this because I wanted to teach someone that has a passion for writing/blogging, not someone who wanted to go into it because everyone does it or be a gossip blogger who copies and pastes gists a day after from Linda Ikeji(respect to the blogging Queen).

Gee(my teacher/ my Gift from Google), taught me because he saw I had a unique blog niche and so I wanted whoever I thought to be unique as well.

Malcolm is not just good, he is 100% unique and I'm proud of his write ups. Now I'm not just proud of his write ups, I'm proud of him and proud of myself because his blog got nominated for 'Nigerian Blog Awards 2013'!

His consistency since the day he started has been great. I was supposed to blog so we could vote for him but I was unable to which I feel sad about.

Malcolm didn't win but I'm happy he got this far.



To Malcolm, I love your write ups and you inspire me. Any time I see your link, I smile and say to myself so from 'Life of a Warri Girl' I have been able to impact someone else's life.
Somedays the traffic might be huge sometimes it might be low but just keep on writing, keep the fire burning and the sky is our limit.

Oooh! To the gist part, Guess what! You know I didn't know Malcolm until we connected online about blogging. His best friend happens to be a good friend/colleague of mine. This world na real small place.

To read Malcolm's write ups go to
Malcolm's Blog at www.saymalcolm.wordpress.com
 
Or

Malcolm The Storyteller at
www.malcolmthestoryteller.blogspot.com

See he has two blogs, like the Bible verse 'go ye and multiply'. My descendants are multiplying. Maybe the person Malcolm would teach would have four blogs. By then, I would be a blog grandmother,*winks*

Girl Code

There are some unwritten solidified girl's code and I'm going to talk about the main one.

The first one is the Girl Code Section 1(1) which states that on no condition, with or without your notice should your friend date your boyfriend.

Now this code is one that shouldn't be argued. It's straight to the point, na your boyfriend so make your friends stay clear. It's not a friendly polygamous relationship. Although we still get some girls that break this law and most of the time it results in huge penalties such as swollen eyes and acid burnt skin. Girls beware just abide by the above law of Girl hood and you and your besti would be fine.

The 2nd law in the Girl's constitution which is presently under review is;

Girl Code Section 1(2) which states that a girl's friend cannot date her ex-boyfriend.

Normally, this code has somehow been at the back of every girl's head. Not like your friend would kill you if you date her ex but we just feel it's a line not to be crossed.

By the power vested in me by myself as the Omote Kpako 1 of Warri; I, WAG the kpokish 1 has decided to take this code under review because of my friend DarkDiva.

DarkDiva has been pulling some stunts lately. She has been match making her friends with her exes. She is the first girl I know that openly says, she doesn't mind if her friend dates her ex. If it works out for them she would be happy, inshort one of her ex and friend have gotten married. Darkdiva was present wella in the wedding and even gave the toast.

Girls, what do you think? Should this unspoken code be reviewed.
WOULD YOU BE OK WITH YOUR FRIEND DATING YOUR EX?

I used "would you be ok" and not "would you allow" which I wanted to use initially but I changed my mind because if they mean to date, plus you minus you they would still date. The only thing is you would be distant from your friend.

So what do you ladies think. Is it ok for your friend to date your ex? And how would you feel?

INFO OF THE DAY: Uncoupling Theory
In 1976, sociologist Diane Vaughan proposed an "uncoupling theory," where there exists a "turning point" in the dynamics of relationship breakup - 'a precise moment when they "knew the relationship was over," when "everything went dead inside"' - followed by a transition period in which one partner unconsciously knows the relationship is going to end, but holds on to it for an extended period, even for years.

Never knew there was a theory like this until today. It is good to know that nor be only physics, chemistry and biology get theories, relationship get theory too.

Once Again, It's Christmas

Merry Christmas WAG readers.

It's another year, another season of Christmas. Thanks be to God for making us see this day.

Ladies, yesterday I said today's post would be a question for you but I have decided to shift it to tomorrow. This I did so today would be focused on the birth of Jesu Christi (Jesus Christ in Urhobo), the Oshare 1 of the whole world, the King of Kings. So let's celebrate Jesus.

My yellow rabbit friend/makeup artist guru, Angel William put this on her status, "Merry Christmas everyone. It's CHRISTmas not Xmas, Jesus Christ is the reason for the season not your ex".

I saw this and laughed. I have read about different controversy concerning Christmas, like the Deeper Life General Overseer saying Christmas is Idolatrous but never have I seen someone talk about the word 'Christmas' and not 'Xmas' until Angel nack am yesterday.

Angela point seen! but I think the heart is what matters, as long as its sincere and pure the meaning is the same.

Our Christmas breakfast is ready, fried rice, chicken&salad (core course), pepper soup and some liquids. I wan go wack(eat) but before I go I would leave you with the advice I gave last year.

'Awuf dey run belle', this one when food brekete down for everywhere so, abeg eat with sense, make you nor go purge but if you must over eat make belle burst carry tetracyclin for pocket as back up.

Birthday Wishes: Happy birthday to Decn(Mrs). Christy Ejenavi and all the WAG readers born on the 25th of December, I wish you many more blissful years ahead.

INFO OF THE DAY: Rudolph's Nose
Norwegian scientists have hypothesized that Rudolph's red nose is probably the result of a parasitic infection of his respiratory system.

Oyibo people sha, there is nothing they don't study. If you don't know Rudolph the red nose reindeer then your kpako level is high, lol.

Once again, Merry Christmas my darlings and I wish you all a prosperous new year.

Stay Sharp,

Guys Do You Get Alert?

Yesterday, I forgot to declare the season of celebration, waka and fun open. My fun started yesterday, I went to chill with friends I haven't seen for months and as usual they were a source of gist.

We talked about guys and girls, exs and presents. From the gist I had ideas for two different post, one for guys the other for girls.

So today, my darling WAG guys I have a question for you.

DO YOU GET AN ALERT WHEN YOU GO DOWN THERE?

The question above is deduced from the store of various gists where I have heard different girls say their boyfriends would know if they cheat.

I'm totally against cheating, if you have one partner please try to be faithful it's all part of the 'Playing Safe' campaign and the defence against broken hearts. If you are tired, break-up and move on. Don't double date and hurt people.

So back to the question, guys how would you know? Do you get alert when you go down there to know that someone has trespassed?

My friend said her boyfriend specifically said he would know immediately he goes in, so he is warning her down not to try anything.

Please you guys should answer me o. Do you hear a tun-tun beep, saying "hey dude, this account has been accessed by another dude"? Don't mind me o, I'm just curious WAG wanting to know.

INFO OF THE DAY : Interesting STDs Fact
A Brazilian Web site lets people send their partners e-cards informing them they have an STD and that they should see a doctor.

Hmmmmm, that website is something else o, I doubt a site like that can work in Nigeria. Nobody go update, lol.

Ladies, it's going to be your topic tomorrow.

Stay Sharp,
Warri Girl.

DarkDiva, Road Trip and Suitors

Wafgidi Noni. I dey Warri.

I came in yesterday and I have to narrate the experience because something stood out for me, the thought of suitor/boyfriend/toaster.

At 7am, I was at the park to get a ticket and a bus. If you are wondering why I didn’t fly, it’s because I weighed my pocket Arik is the only airline that goes to Warri from Abuja and they don’t have weekend flights, FULLSTOP

I had some calls before the bus moved and the 1st friend I talked to asked, “what kind of people were in the bus, old or young? I didn’t see the need for the question but I just sha answer am say na young peeps.

Friend number 2 said, “any fine guy for the bus? You know say you be fine girl o! make they nor over toast you so just squeeze your face like deeper life”. I laughed and replied, “toasting is allowed, greeing is what you take under consideration”. Then my friend said, “sharp babe you know say Lokoja(the stop along the way where lots of stuffs are sold) dey front why you nor go talk say toasting is allowed”. lol

These two questions got me thinking, then it dawned on me. One wise person that I don’t know originated the quote “you can meet your future husband any where”. So that was it. My friends wanted to know if there were prospects in the bus. No prospects but I made some female friends, it was a very long trip and one thing with long trips is that you find yourself gisting with your fellow passengers which is fun.

I love traveling a lot whether by air, land or maybe someday sea but the best form of traveling is traveling with friends or family even if na the same okada two of una enter it’s still fun.

My best road trip is my previous trip back to Abuja with my senior friend/sister, Onome my DarkDiva. I, Onome, and another friend of ours, Onos were seated at the back of the Sienna vehicle. In front of us was a couple then the front-front part, a lady in the passenger seat and the driver.

Whenever you have girls, you have a constant G, where G = Gist. We gisted nor be small. From how there is an alleged crime of girls been drugged, one of their kidneys stolen and abandon in a hospital#kidneygiststillunderconfirmation# to how our mumsy prepare us to be suitor ready/wife material with house chores e.g pounding of banga.

Somewhere along the line, the couple joined in the discussion and they gave us their own gist about how they met, the husband was the guy all the girls flocked around, she was the sharp patient girlfriend turn wife and today they are still kicking it strong celebrating 20 years of marriage. They also gave us some suitor advice and some other advice like don’t bleach, play safe etc… The husband was a doctor so these were gidigba(strong) advice backed up with facts.

The most amazing part of this trip was watching the couple play love in Tokyo. The wife said “honey please massage my feet” and stretched out her legs for him. The husband obliged and said “this is why I paid for the whole middle seats, I really wanted her to be comfortable”. I, Onome and Onos were like “awww……see love o”.

Still on the trip, they gave us another love act.
Hubby: “You know even with all those many girlfriends back then, it’s been you I loved and always wanted to marry”
Wife: “I know but now you don’t say it often”.
Wife to Us: “I don’t know why he doesn’t say it o. My husband believes that I already know so there is no need for it to be said”
Hubby: “Ok, I LOVE YOU” (shey you see the way I typed I love you in caps na because the guy really emphasized it)
Us, 3 ladies of the backseat : Screaming! Shouting! Hailing!

That’s the way this couple were giving us scenes from their love movie then we had a flat tire so it had to be changed. When the change was done, I was struggling to open the door to enter and the hubby came up to me, “No!!! you are a lady don’t do that, please let me open the door for you”

Us, 3 ladies of the backseat : Screaming! Shouting! “Dr. B, please do you have a brother?”.

Yes o, we asked. The Statistic Department of Relation Gist Institute states that ‘the number of guys of this generation that open door for ladies is close to minus zero point something (-0….)’, so were amazed and just had to ask.

My eyes didn’t blink at all, as in sleep didn’t come knocking through out the trip.

In the spirit of BBM update, we took some pictures for DP before the journey began


Since it was an early mor-mor trip, I just packed my hair with no makeup ready to hit the road but Photographer Onos say make I free my hair say this simple look nor enter for Dp o.

So I let my hair lose


we shared a joke

and finally found the Perfect DP



I have been doing DarkDiva since, I think I should give you guys our brief history. I met her when I was 5years old, my family moved to the neighborhood and she gave me coconut candy since then I have been stuck on love with her. I’m still suspecting that she jazzed that candy o because I love her bad and she is older than me well but we have a strong bond and again she was my brother’s would I say first love*thinking* she was my brother’s ex girlfriend from secondary school.

That time there was no GSM. Na me be the GSM, na me they go send go call her, na me go call with landline say I want to talk to Onome and hand the phone over to my bro when she answers all this was so that her parents nor go code. Everybody still coded at the end even my parents sef.

Some years later, the love ended and the fact that there was no disconnection or anything was really good, our relationship wasn’t affected. We are still close, she and my brother they are like BFF. I tell both of them that it would make sense if they marry, they would say “abeg e, we know ourselves we are good as close friends”.

I just like their combo sha but whether they marry or nor marry themselves it’s non of my business na my own marriage go be my business and they would both remain my brother and sister in whom I love so much.

  
This picture was taken some 4-5years ago and that’s still like 5years after their breakup. I like this particular pic, I don’t know why. Whether it’s because of Onome’s smile or the back of my brother’s head, dunno #confused#

I have put up my bro before on the blog, somewhere in the post ‘The Match Story’, if you want to see him click HERE

Ok, now I sign off and run away because two friends are going to kill me, hahahahahaha.

Stay Sharp,
Warri Girl.
