A New Course In Technology

Over the years, aproko has taken a different turn from being oral and verbal to become digital and instant. Technology has aided the aproko business.

There is no need to save the gist for later when you can transmit it live by different instant messaging platforms.

This new means of aproko has made aproko to be one sided now. People no longer need to go about looking for a second party to gist with. All they have to do is become a registered Aproko Police and start monitoring other people's life on social media.

I can't blame the innocent people for sharing their lives on social media because I know the way the social media fire burns. It consumes you and most of the time you can't resist the urge to update.

Not like my hands are totally clean from Technological Aproko o but I believe I'm not so bad. Some people have B.Sc and even PhD certificate in this course and yet when they notice a situation of joy or sadness, they refuse to express their joy or condolences; they move immediately to the next fellow to monitor.

Personally I like people that notice my updates and talk to me about it, not the ones that notice, throwaway face and months later now make reference to it.

Like, a friend of mine met a friend of her's at the superstore about 4 months after she had a fatal accident and he was like, "Hey babe, how u doing? I saw u had an accident on your profile pic, I see you can walk around now, so you are better".
How annoying could that be, so he actually noticed she was involved in an accident and he didn't show concern then, if he hadn't ran into her that day, he would never had asked about her welfare.

Please people, don't just be monitoring spirit on other people's lives. Still try as much as possible to share in their joy and sadness and try to reduce the monitoring sha.

INFO OF THE DAY : Internet Access Statistic.
91% of mobile Internet access is for social activities with 73% of smartphone owners accessing social networks through apps at least once per day.

We are all guilty, aproko sweet die but please monitor with sense.

Stay Sharp,

Valentine Toasting

As far as you are in Warri, everyday is an experience. Early this morning, I jejely entered one keke to Enehren juntion, one guy entered after me and sat beside me.

This is what transpired between us,
Guy: Babe you make sense.

Me, I just lock up, face my phone. Which one be the you make sense this kain early morning. Then before I knew he threw another line.

Guy: How the valentine dey be na, make we align na. I like get your digits make we hook up tomorrow.

He brought his phone out and stretch it for me to input my number. I just replied, "sorry please I'm not interested".
Guy: I be single o! So nor fear (that's exactly what he said, I be single o, not I am single o)

I don't know if it is the refusal or the English I spoke that got the guy to continue pushing and talking. I still locked up and kept on scrolling through my phone, eventually I blocked out all he was saying out of my head. After a while he kept quiet.

Then the Keke driver turned on his radio and a Christian programme was airing. I didn't hear what the Pastor said but the next thing I heard was the Keke guy beside me shouting.
"Tell them Pastor, na true. All this girls of nowadays nor get sense, boy go toast dem, dey go dey form say e nor dress well, e nor reach, later dey go go church go pray, when God fit don already send them their husband for Keke".
He sighed after his exclamation.

For my mind I said, "see this one o, when dey toast just now don turn Christian because I bone am". Warri! they can change things on top someone's head, lol.

What I saw next was Enehren junction, I have never been so happy to see that junction. I quickly alighted and left the guy ranting.

Since I laugh a lot, the guy gave me a good experience to laugh about and share with you guys.

Valentine fever is in the air now, all the boutiques don turn Igbe(displaying red outfits) and some people are seriously eager to have a Val. Please relax, it's just a normal day like every other day, so you won't die if you are Val-less. If you have a Val, it is also cool and make sure you enjoy yourself tomorrow.

INFO OF THE DAY: Valentine City
There is a town in Texas called Valentine, but not for a romantic reason. The first train to arrive there happened to do so on February 14.

This is nice, it would be a lovely place to visit for val with your spouse. They really said money makes love sweeter. I'm not saying money is key in love o! but the truth is that only a financially comfortable guy can be able to fly his lady from 9ja to Texas for Val.

Happy Valentine my darling WAG readers, wherever you spend your day be happy atleast know that I love you all and send out my love. XX

Stay Sharp,
Warri Girl.

Love At 10 Years

My blog posts are usually made up of some funny proverbs with sensible meanings, like my post titled ‘Proverb’s Award'.

Of all the proverbs I know, there is one particular proverb that I didn’t really send and that is “Old firewood burns faster”. Today’s gist has made me see some light in this proverb.

The gist is about my very close friend Jumute who I also call my P.I.C (decode it).

Jumute is getting married today to the love of her life after 10 YEARS of dating.  Yes, you read right! 10 long years of relationship, and when I say 10years, I don’t mean 10years of break-up and make-up, I mean 10 years of consistently dating. Quarrel, yes they did but breakup never happened.

I met Jumute in 2007 in my 100level at Delsu and we were both jambitos trying to do our registration. One day during registration she introduced me to her boyfriend, Ikhide. Me in my aproko self I started oral questionnaire and she said they have dated for about 3years. I was surprised, see us in 100 level and she has already dated for 3 years when as at then I never even think to start dating. Then she shared their story with me, which I'm going to share with you guys.



Jumute and Ikhide met in 2004 at the University of Benin where they were both course mate pursuing a diploma in Law. After 2years of dating/Diploma program, they were unable to secure admission as direct entry so they fell back to JAMB and both came to Abraka. Jumute got admission to study Business Administration while Ikhide got  Theater Arts (in which he has done so well, as far as getting nominated for the African Magic Viewers Award 2012)

Now they continued their love through out their 4year degree program in Abraka, from there it was time for NYSC. In 2011, the love birds made sure they serve in the same state and as cupid would have it, they were both posted to River State.



Can you imagine, getting to do love with your boyfriend(real bf from outside camp not 3weeks NYSC bf) with short nicker alongside sandflies and mosquitoes.

Then came the call of PPA(place of primary assignment). They were posted to different Local Government Areas but love still found a way to work it back that they were finally posted not only to the same Local Government Area but also to the same school as their PPA.

POP(Passing out parade) came in 2012 and the job search began. Ikhide got a job in Port-Harcourt with one of the telecom giants alongside his acting career but insisted he should be transferred to Warri since Jumute was based in Warri.

Now its 2014, 10years after and they are getting married !

Picture Time, Enjoy!





They have been with me all the way. This picture was taken at Power Summit where I was a guest speaker as a blogger and they where there to support me.

INFO OF THE DAY: Firewood Seasoning
Firewood is split and aged for a certain amount of time to prepare it for burning. When first cut, wood is “green”, meaning it contains a lot of moisture and will not burn well. Green woods are carefully stack so that air can circulate, allow the wood to dry properly , prevent fungi and wood rot from attacking it. This process is called seasoning and usually takes about 6 months.Seasoned woods burns better and provides 20% more heat value than green wood.

This love journey is indeed a sample that ‘old firewood burns long’ because they have been seasoning for 10years, growing and enduring together, now the relationship is old and dry and their love ignites faster.

Transformation from 2004 – 2014


Happy married life to Jumute and Ikhide, my correcti* couple. It’s your wedding day, so be happy and rejoice!

N.B: There is no fixed rule in relationship, 10 years was successful for my friend but 5years may give another person heartbreak. So my dear WAG readers, live your life, fall in love but remain true to yourself don’t compare yourself with others.


Stay Sharp,
Warri Girl.
