Can you just imagine this nonsense people

I got these pictures below today and i've been bringing fire out of my nose and ears since!!!


It's just so embarassing and quite annoying the state of so many things run by government in this country...


Just imagine this kind of sight being captured on cameraand the punks will be stopping people to ask for "fire extinguisher"


God help them if they come near me anytime soon to ask for any stupid documents or worse still "fire extinguisher"


Loud hiss....

Today.....

Today started off a bit "normal"



Normal in the sense that i woke up late as usual...



Stayed up late watching desperate housewives and arranging room and of course the after effects were quite expected. Traffic was quite "unusually" heavy and i was stuck in it for hours... Living in Lagos can be quite trying really!!!



These days i try to get to work early, it's just so difficult because the work conditions are not getting better and it's a real challenge making it through the day



I'm thankful for the job but seriously things could be better for me.



However in the spirit of being positive i say to myself as always "This job is a stepping stone to greater things. My situation will change very soon and i will find a job that best suits me and pays very well and i'll be happy to come to work daily" "Things can only get better for me, i choose to be unfazed by my immediate surroundings"



I got in and my Oga tried to grate on my last nerves, but i managed it well and kept my irritation to myself and table mates.



A few days ago, i found out that some ladies i had taken in confidence, gone the extra mile for on several occasions and in fact assumed to be my friends were gossiping about me and actually saying nasty and venomous stuff about me. I guess that's my punishment for being a gossip in my recent past!!!



Now i'm trying to sift through my associates and determine which ones have geninue friendship to offer....



This life....



So here I am sitting my desk and trying to work. But it's so difficult because it's raining and i wish i could get into my bed and watch Prison break or desperate housewives...



I'm so not excited today.



My "office romance" fizzled out as suddenly as it started. Guess i didn't quite handle it well and had high expectations or maybe I thought men were still as nice and geninue as in the days of Abraham and Sarah and King David and co.



It exploded right in my face and the sticky pieces are still hanging off me, i'm only just trying to recuperate...



So that's it.



That's how i'm feeling today!

I need to know!!!!!!!!!

My birthday is in two weeks and i'm trying to figure out these stuff:

What is most important to me?

What are my values?

What really motivates me?

What am I known for?

What do i want to be remembered for?

I feel it will help me on this my path to self discovery...

I feel like my life is about to be transformed

I wonder who/what I am about to metamorphose into;)

I feel like i've kept a lot of my treasures locked up on the inside for too long...

I've spent a greater part of my "adulthood" still being a child....

Things are definetely going to have to change around here....

Wash your "Golds"

This morning as always i observed the streets of Lagos and it's many "absurdities" on my way to work.

Firstly, I woke up from my wonderful and happy dream where i was able to buy petrol in my car and in like five jerry cans( there's a fuel scarcity in Lagos at the moment) and i had been quite traumatised by this (apparently) especially since the fuel tank in my car showed red yesterday evening on my way from work (lol)....

Anyway i spent the better half of my commute(i like that word sounds so European) i guess hustle is more "lagos like" ;) . Ok so, hustle reading my book and looking at inscriptions on buses!!!

Today i didn't see any extra ordinary ones, and was quite disappointed! However my moment came when i saw a sign across a stall, saying "IDERA JEWELERRIES" now i didn't mind that as i am used to the fact that around here people call jewellery- jewelleries... the part that totally cracked me up was " WASH YOUR GOLDS" lol...

Wash your golds indeed... ;)

Anyway i just got into the office and as usual needed to offload this before settling in...

Be right back blog ;)


These are the issues…..

  My parents got divorced long before I turned three ( I think I may even have been younger) my dad was a very difficult person as I got to ...
