Whats happening peeps! Another interesting week huh? My week has been kinda dry ( as u will see from the blog)but i'll try and wet it up with some lies ( ha ha... nah i wont do that). Enjoy!
"My Mother, who sat and watch my infant head when sleeping on my cradle bed and tears of sweet affection shed, my mother"
How many of you remember this rhyme in school? some "ajebos" like me will ( ha ha... dont mind me). It was a good rhyme then and it still is. I remember singing that rhyme and huging myself. Dang the song used to make me sober. I also remember feeling sober whenever i;m asked to bring my parents to school for being naughty ( aka fighting) and mom will follow me with this sad look in her eyes... it was dreadful but i always felt better when she flogged me ( as it was better than her giving me the lecture). This, amongst other things have drawn me close to her and we gist and talk about everything. I pray that one day God would grant me the grace to get married and give her a grandchild someday ( hopefully her first) so she can fuss over the little girl or boy.. Amen.
Why am i talking about my mom this week? i just felt i had to dedicate this week to her and praise her for everything she has done for my sibblings and i. It hasnt been an easy route for her ( what getting married very early and only after three months of knowing my dad who was a soldier!... y'all who have soldiers for dads know what i'm talking about) but i'm glad she is reaping the fruit of her labour now and i will do anything for her. Mom was around for the week. She got me a couple of stuff from her trip and trust mom, first thing she did was cook! apart from making it for us ( brother and cousins), she had to eat as well and she even cleaned the house ( i wish she had washed some of my clothes, but ma will not do that) and i was grateful to her for these. She went back to Uyo to join her lovely "husby" ( cant wait for the day i'll be calling some lucky guy that)... a bit of a relief there becos, no matter how much u love your parents, they always seem to be crowding ur space ( complex init?)...oh well.
Contrary to the popular song by Elton John and Blue " Sorry seems to be the hardest word", i think "goodbye" is the hardest word especially when it is directed at a loved one ( someone u hold very dear to ur heart). That is y i hate goodbyes... i love "see u later" or "later" so y'all shouldn't be surprised whenever i say "later" instead of "goodbye". Anyway, my very good friend Temilola Aderogba nee Oyebanji ( hope the spelling is right) left the pension outfit of IBTC to join the bank. I was very happy when she got the job but i was sad that she was leaving me! I know she is leaving for the greater purpose that God has for her so i will just have to say " Later and see u at the top". We had a big Party for her, we all ate and enjoyed ourselves so it was cool. Also, our little darling " Adesuwa" left as well. She was such a darling and very hardworking... i just love the way she says " can i have some more schedules please?" with her lovely britico accent. She tamed all the wild boys in Fincon and Fund Admin with her lovely smile and beautiful eyes ( Olumide, Chike and Tolani... she is just a kid oh!). I will really miss her as well as Temmy. May God direct your paths and make u soar like the eagle to greater heights... i love you both with all my heart.
I wasnt going to leave without talking about Big Brother Africa! pple, dont grumble... u signed up to read about my life and this is part of it. Well, before i say anything, why are some guys players? i ask my brothers this question and they are always diplomatic when it comes to an answer. There is this dude called " Code" ( remember him? the guitar man i mentioned him in an earlier blog) i thot he was the coolest in the house but now i know he is a "slimy *****. I really think he likes Tatiana ( the half caste from Angola) but she is not giving him face. The only girl who even gave him face ( Maureen) told him she had a thing for him and he decided to take advantage of that by trying to have sex with her! on live TV! ha! the guy must be really horny... someone please get him outta there and get him a woman or a man so he can release the tension in his loins. Well, i'm so glad Maureen has learnt her lesson and next time she wont go looking for trouble... Nice guy my foot!
Anyway, i gotta go now. Have a beautiful week ahead and love u all.
Ciao!

LOVE, MARRIAGE AND THE BIG BROTHER
Hello y’all! Once again I’m really happy to be sending this week’s blog. Men, I feel like I’m writing for royalties to read…lol… believe me, y’all are royalties.
Ok, this week has been so so. A bit of fun and a bit of stress but u know me, I put the fun in the stress and turn it to “funstresstic”. However, I’m so happy that I was able to find time to write a few things. I know I would have stopped this blog thingy ages ago but y’all kept me writing especially Chike who before he opens his mailbox, askes if I have sent it… Thank you. Anyway, here’s this week’s blog enjoy!
What is love? I have asked that question over and over again, (in my mind and pple) I have even posted a scrap on my hi5 page so pple can respond to it. Is it when u have butterflies in your stomach whenever u see your love interest? Wild sex? Maybe it is when you sing or dance for no reason (I know a few people who do this… don’t worry I wont tell) but whatever it is, love means different things to different people and the reaction is quite different.
For some people, the reaction to love is “let’s get married and have children”! To some, “let’s make love to show our love” and some people just go plain crazy and cut up themselves and drink their blood or wear a vial of their blood (Angelina jolie and Billy bob Thornton).
Whatever the reaction, love must not be hurried. I recently heard an old song “ u cant hurry love, u just have to wait…” the song goes on to say that love does not come easy and it is a game of give and take. I absolutely believe this. I mean if it is not meant to happen, it would not happen. You cannot force someone to fall in love with you, u just have to wait for the right kind of love to come ur way and you are made.
I know a lot of you are wondering why Eke is talking about love. Is she in love? Well, I’ll leave y’all to ponder on that and maybe I’ll tell you for a little bribe… lol. Anyway, enough about me. I’m really talking about love because my good friend Henry got married on Saturday. I would love to say that it was a very beautiful wedding but I was not there and I’m sure I missed a lot. I remember when Henry started at Ipml, actually, I came back from NYSC camp and met him. First thot “ who is the cutie”? and today he is getting married… I guess my constant “no” to his advances pushed him to the arms of another woman ( just kidding)… lol. Anyway, Henry is a lovely guy and I wish him well. Ok fellas, Henry is gone (marriage wise) any of you need pointers on how to hook a babe like Henry’s wife, we can talk over a bottle of Vodka and trust me, u’ll be walking off with a total babe the next morning… lol get it?
Love and Big Brother… such a bad combination. A no no if u ask me. Some members of the house think they are falling in love. Y’all know I gas to talk about my Big bro (I’m loving the show and I find myself running home to go watch those housemates… yeah I know I’m boring but hey! That’s me. Anyway, back to my housemates. This chick Lerato thinks she is in love with this bloke called Maxwell (stupid sexist by the way) but the dude does not like her romantically. However, she is really trying to make things work and from the looks of things, it isn’t (u cant hurry love, mama says).
Ok guys, I don try. I wish you all a wonderful week ahead. Stay blessed and peace.
Ciao!

Big Brother ..... Big Trouble
Hi y'all! whats happening? After sending the last blog pretty late, ( or
should i say "fashionably late"... lol) i had to stay up late to write this
( you know i'll do anything for my fans... lol).
Anyway, it's been a pretty interesting week for me. Big Brother Africa 2
began and most of u know i'm a fan of the Big bro. Good choice of
housemates i must say. My favourite is CODE "the guitar man"... i could sit
with him all day and singing to his tunes ( i love a man who can play any
kind of instrument... hmm... hmm... hmm... anyone want me to sing to his
tune? just holla).
Big brother has been interesting (especially " shower hour"). I am sensing
a little romance building up between some of the housemates and frankly,
i'm kinda worried about the only married person in there ( Richard). Will
he be able to stay off the temptation of cheating on his wife with one of
the belles in the house (it will make good tv tho')? I hope he steers clear
of harm's way as this will mean " big trouble" for him. I wouldnt go into
the house if i was married ( too risky!).
Two of my very good friends celebrated their birthdays this month. I wasn't
there to celebrate with either of them but i'm sure they felt my
presence... lol ( for some reason, pple always do). Tundun and Mobola, you
know i love you. Anyway, i have asked my father to bless you with many more
years so you will see your grand children's children ( Amen).
Before i go, i just want to congratulate all y'all who recently got
promoted at IPML. This is just the beginning and it wont be long before you
start driving IBTC cars ( say Amen, cos i'm serious).
Anyways, i'm out. Remain blessed and keep trusting God to make all things
beautiful in His time.
Ciao.

Marriage Travel & Honeymoons
First of all, i want to apologise for the delay in sending this week's blog ( i can hear some of u saying " dang, thot she forgot"). I was having so much fun and actually forgot to send it. But here it is...Enjoy!
Marriage! a road " some" of us are looking forward to thread someday. Some of us cant wait while some are bidding their time ( u know ursef). I read an article in "True Love" (Nigerian Mag) the other day about us girls kinda looking for traces of our fathers in our spouses. I must admit this is true ( scary! but true) and i'm a culprit. I have watched my dad take care of my mom and treat her like the queen that she is for a number of years ( no, i havent seen them kiss or cuddle... yuck!) and this got me thinking and i have reached a conclusion that i really want a man like my father. Take for example, my mom just turned 50 and my dad is giving her a
treat ( i dont want to say what it is before all these men run away oh) and the woman is getting younger by the day from all these love and attention from daddy ( Isnt she lucky?). Anyway, i would love a romantic man who will give me a treat now and then, cuddle, send the kids to our parents so we can have lots of alone time ( if you know what i mean) but till then, i'll just focus on praying and being a good wife in waiting for that lucky man.
Tessy and Temmy just got married and they are now enjoying the the best part of marriage... cooking for their men ( rotten minds, what were u thinking?). I kinda envy them and cant wait for my turn. Henry is also on the road leading up there and i wish him God's grace as he takes this bold step ( i hail you bro... dont mind all these other guys. Married Man!)
I recently travelled to Abuja. It was really lovely. There was light 24/7 (y'all know how it is in lagos). I was so scared that i would be watching a very good programme and ... snap! the light's gone but i was amazed! i love abuja and i'm thinking of moving there ... what do you think? My trip was only exciting on the first day, i got to see all my friends and some school mates. My real reason for going to abuja was go get my US visa done ( i didnt get it ). They lady said something about wanting me to build my career and become financially independent... can u imagine that? i have lived on my own for almost two years without going to daddy for anything ( well, sometimes he gives me). I was not worried sha. Anyway, i spent the rest of the week watching reruns of "friends" ( i know i'm sad... lol)
Honeymoons are they best times and it is not only when you marry that you enjoy honeymoons. I love honeymoons. I remember the honeymoon stage of my working at IPML. I used to surf the internet a lot because there was nothing to do and i used to close early ( not now wey IBTC wan kill me with work). Tessy is back to work after enjoying ten very gooood days of honeymoon and Temmy is still honeymooning ( dang, i envy these two... someone please find me a husband!). Oh well, i will wait for that stage... i have a lot planned ( u know... oils, whips, strawberries, creams etc... lucky man i hear u say).
Oh well, i gotta leave u guys now and Henry, God's grace on your pending wedding, i wish you all the best and please enjoy ur honeymoon oh ( if ur wife needs pointers... i am available... lol).
Ciao!
