Hey people, how are you guys doing? sorry for the delay in this week's blog. But i'm glad i delayed it otherwise i wouldn't have thought about writing on this topic.
Proverbs 31:4 "It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings to drink wine; nor for princes strong drink"
The scripture in Proverbs 20:1 warns us what wine and strong drink can do to a man. Men can end up raging and brawling and doing things in a drunken stupor that are very unwise and that they will also regret. Some of are wondering why Eke is talking about drinking this week? I felt it was something to write about after witnessing (directly/non-directly) what alcohol can do.I will just give you a couple of scenarios to butress my point so enjoy!
The bible says that Noah began to be an husbandman, and he planted a vineyard: And he drank of the wine, and was drunken; and he was uncovered within his tent. Noah could not have become drunk by drinking grape juice, so we must assume he drank an alcoholic beverage made from the grapes of his vineyard (culled from an article by Bellview Baptist Church "What the bible says about drinking").
"You have not eaten all day, let's go to Mama Ify and eat Nkwobi" my friend Rita says. This was in 2005 and i have just been made to feel neglected by my man at the time... i mean, why wont he spend time with me instead of those "skinny girls". This was enough to put me off food... i mean, if i had to compete with those girls, i had to step up my game and be as skinny as they were init? (Thank God for opening my eyes). Rita has been a good friend and wanted me to eat something so she suggested we went to Mama Ify (a joint) to eat Nkwobi ( cow hoof salad) and drink something (which was usually Fanta for me...seeing i am not much of a drinker). On getting there, we discovered that Nkwobi was sold out and so we decided to drink instead. Bearing in mind that i have not eaten all day, i dicided to "live a little" and drank Gordon Sparks. The first bottle went down well with no hitch but after the second bottle, i was on the case of every man on this face of the earth (Rita can testify to this). A friend who came with us could not beleive i was the same calm and nice girl he sees in class...well, i didnt care and kept going on and on. After being dropped off, i went straight to my neigbour's house, sat on his doorstep and slept off (this was about 10pm!). I woke up about an hour later and went into my house. The first thing that came to my mind the next day was "what if i was raped while sleeping out there"? i also thought about all the rubbish i said in front of that guy and was hoping he would not dent my image by telling someone else or people (Of course i was armed with a story to deny all the allegations).
I told y'all last week that my sister was travelling to the US on sunday. Her flight was supposed to leave at 9:20 am and she called me at 9:30 to say she was on board and they were ready to leave. I bidded her a safe journey and asked her to call me when she gets there. So you can imagine my surprise when i leave church about some minutes past 1pm and see a missed call from her. I called back immediately (fingers shaking...relieved to hear her voice) and asked whats up? She told me they were about taking off when the Pilot turned back and announced that one of the flight crew was not feeling fine and so they have to replace him (one of the pilots was replaced). The first thing that came to mind "the pilot was drunk" (remember my mom telling me about a pilot that was caught drunk moments before he was to fly a plane). Anyway, we prayed and she was on her way. Guess what, later that night, we heard on radio that the pilot was drunk and was arrested...what! I dont even want to think about what would have happened if the pilot and co-pilot were unable to fly the plane and he had to take over (he was the third pilot u see). Thank God that my sister got to miami safely.
How many of you watched Bigbrother on Saturday? I didnt but i heard a lot happened. It was so bad that the video clips were not put online and Mnet issued a statement to that effect. To summarise the whole thing. Bigbrother gave the remaining four housemates a task which involved drinking alcohol (Fishing). Well they all got into the game and the next thing they started throwing up and things got a little heated when three people decided to have a "threesome" (i wont tell you the meaning, so find out yourself... just know there were two girls and a boy). It was so bad that Bigbrother had to send in the paramedics and Richard the only guy and married man in the house was locked up in the diary room...it was crazy. This dented the squeaky clean image of our Nigerian housemate and i kinda doubt she will be able to win the dollars now...but i'm still rooting for her sha. Maureen the Ugandan housemate was the last housemate (before the finals) to leave the house and i'm glad to see that our nigerian housemate is in the Final 3 and eligible to win the dollars. Despite the little snag on saturday, i still think she deserves the money of the three housemates remaining (i hope she wins).
Well people, you have seen and read the different scenarios of what alcohol can do to you. I will not tell you to stop drinking but it will be in your best interest if you are the type who cant handle their liquor! Enough said. I gotta go now but before i do, i want to thank Tayo Akinsanmi for my bible. I love it so much and it is teaching me how to be a leader...cheers! Y'all should have a glorious week, i love you all.
Ciao!

CHANGE IS DYNAMIC?
Hiya folks! whats been happening? hope y'all are having fun and being at peace with each other? Anyway, it is well, so say Amen. So my week was okay, not very interesting ( I'm begining to think i had more fun in Nigeria) which makes me a certified boring person (CBP). I mean i'd rather sit at home and watch re-runs of programmes i've seen ten times already, than go out there and 'have fun'. I'm working on this sha, a friend of mine is coming to Glasgow next weekend so we'll see how things work out.
So i was at my friend's this weekend, we had a ball and went out shopping and i got this lovely boots(I've now become a boot's freak...kinda collecting them). We took some pics and i must say, i was looking good as i always do and most especially since i had no jacket on to cover 'my assets' ( i was still paranoid about not having any but i had a shawl to tie around the waist occassionally). I promised to cook for my friend and she made sure i did just that ( she was going to send a mail to all u guys if i didnt...so u might say 'email blackmail'). The pasta bake was lovely and this has further proved my point that my husband will be a very lucky man ( is it easy to be 'calabar'). So the weekend ended on a sad note, my friend and i had a fight. We are ignoring ourselves a little for now but i know we'll sort ourselves out...we always do.
Daddy's coming to the UK this weekend. Though i wont see him (cos the cost of the trip to London is outrageous) but i cant wait for his arrival (I do miss him and i'm broke as well). My sis is also traveling to the US this weekend so i feel another pair of shoes screaming to be rescued from the shops ( u know me and shoes...i love them...can never have enough).
So today is my friend's Ify's birthday. I have sent a text to her and she has replied. Ify is a very nice person and beautiful as well. Most of you who do not know this, Ify is Nkechi's sister and if u think Nkechi is nice, then you'll understand why i love my darling Ify. I wish her well in everything she does and i know she will go places and we'll definately meet at the top.
Lectures have been going fine and i must confess, i am kinda behind in catching up. There is so much information to take in and it's so overwhelming. I was very good at understanding the whole law thingy but this HRM? different case. Sometimes i wonder if i made the right decision but i know i did and i'll work toward that. Anyway, i am putting all my effort into it because the course is not hard at all. I think it is the scottish accent or the fact that i have been out of school for too long. The Lord will help me, Amen.
So Code aka Mr Horny was booted out of the bigbrother house last night. The fool has a pregnant girlfriend and yet he was playing tongsy with Maureen in the house ( poor girl was devastated when he left). He has been trying to get the chick into bed but i'm really glad that she was not wavered by all his stupid excuses for them to have sex like 'i love you', he believes Maureen is emotionally blackmailing him and that he is taking a risk by getting involved with Maureen because he has a relationship outside the House and doesnt know what he'll face out there...what a guy! He is lucky his girlfriend even took him back after all that rubbish (i wont even let my man in the house in the first place). Well good riddance to bad rubbish! Now i'm ready for Africa to send Maureen home. She hasn't done anything wrong (apart from talking too much) but in the interest of keeping Ofunneka till the end.
Ok guys, i don try. I gotta go. Have to do a bit of studying before the next class at 1400hrs. Take care y'all.
Ciao!

PRIVACY PLEASE...!
Hey y'all, how have you been? sorry about the delay in sending this week's blog. You see, school has started in full force and i am really trying to concentrate and get all my assignments done in good time. I'll try and send the blogs every week as promised but it could be a little late (pele, ndo...)
So this week was same old same old, been eating a lot of olives and when i say a lot, i mean like two big jars in a week (not the kind of jars in nigeria...two of that as one...meaning i had four jars)Well, i guess my hair and skin is on the way to being beautiful and i cant wait for my body to become toned from all these my waka around school and i'm Halle again...lol
Speaking of body, we all need privacy sometimes because we do not want every Tom, Dick and Harry looking at us. Not because we are ashamed of our bodies, but because there are times u just want to let go and be at one with nature without any intrusion. The other day, my housemate wanted to check her mail on my laptop (she does that all the time) and i said yes (u know me, i cant say no). She checks her mails (reading every forwards and most of the junk mails) and goes on to read all the news available. I just finished taking my bath and i want to cream myself as well as dress up but the chick still stays. I mean y'all feel me when i say that after u take ur bath, u want to throw the towel aside and cream urself in all ur glory and not shifting the towel to one side and the other just to cream ur arm or ur back. I didnt find this funny and what kept running thru my mind while struggling to dress up with the towel tied around my body was "i wish i had any other housemate apart from a nigerian". People, dont get me wrong, i left the boarding house long ago and the only persons entitled to see me naked are close friends and family members and not strangers! I guess as time goes on, she will learn or even get her own pc because i will feel very embarrassed telling her to leave the room because i want to dress up.
So i had statistics on monday and i did very well with all the datas, formulars, plotting of histograms etc... i told u i was going to do well but the bad thing about having a good looking lecturer is that u spend most of the time staring at him and not listening. Thank God that i was able to concentrate (even though my mind wandered a few times). I am also starting on some of my courseworks, dont want to leave it for so long and then i'll start rushing. I pray i'll have excellent grades because i am known for not having grades above 60 percent in courseworks. Anyway, i've spoken to my Father about it and he said he has turned things around. So i know i'm fine.
Seun Ishie arrived Aberdeen during the weekend, havent seen her yet but she called (missed her call and she missed mine as well). Will get in touch with her and know how she is doing. Speaking of weekend, church was really cool. We had a guest speaker and he was so anointed (Thank God i didnt miss church). I know i walked off with enough anointing to last. This weekend, i'll be spending the weekend at my friend's place. I know we are going to have a ball and i cant wait to make my 'baked pasta' or 'baked potato' dish for her and her friend ( i don turn oyibo se?).
Kwaku aka black pimpernel (stupid name he gave himself) was the seventh housemate to leave the big brother house. He was the last of the "untouchables" who thought that they were the life of the house and there was no way they were going nowhere. Well, Africa proved to them that they were wrong and were most definately "touchable". I am just glad that the whole voting thing has been going my way. This week, Code the gossip and Richard the adulterer are up for eviction. In as much as i'm tired of watching Richard cheat on his wife with Tatiana (sickening) and would like to see him go, i really think that it is in the interest of Africa that Code should should leave as he has overstayed his welcome in the biggie house. My money is on Ofunneka to win and i'll see that it happens (i am connected...lol).
Ok, time now is 01:04hrs and it was my sister's birthday an hour ago. I called to wish her a happy birthday (like i always do) and now i'm sleepy want to go to bed. Y'all should take care and have a stress free week ahead.
Ciao!

I AM FALLING IN LOVE WITH A STRANGER
Hey peeps! whats happening? how is it going? i hope you all had a lovely weekend? My weekend was very long and i thot it would never end but i'm happy to be getting back into my normal routine of climbing around Glasgow.
So my flatmate moved in and she is NIGERIAN! dont get me wrong, i love my country and the peeps within but i didnt travel 10k miles from nigeria to be in nigeria. I have a mind of going to the accommodation office to give them a piece of my mind but i'm too matured for that. Anyway, the chick wastes electricity like mad. She turns on the heating in rooms we dont stay in. I love staying in my room and so i make it very comfortable for me...why would i want to stay in the kitchen? I think we r gonna have a talk about Electricity bills tonight. That out of the way, she is a nice person (not the sort of person i would hang out with) and she is a lawyer as well as a christain so i guess we will bond a little.
The week passed as quickly as it started and i was glad about that. Apart from a little tiff here and there, i pulled through. It turned out that my nigerian toaster is married! (shocked?) i was but i handled it well. How did i find out? i am a very smart person contrary to what some people think, i study people and can tell the kind of person someone is by just studying you...more than half the time, i'm always right (should have done psychology init?). Well, i just told the brother that i knew he was married and he fell for the bait! he started mumbling stuff like "we are divorced" etc. but later he came clean that they are still together and have a child! I was pissed, not because i have any sort of interest in him but because after 3 years of leaving this country... nigeria men here are still decieving women... very unfair. Well, that is a chapter of my life that is closed. The dude wants to be friends but i dont know how to be friends with someone like that (ladies, imagine that it is ur man chasing after some hot single girl... not pretty eh?). God will help us.
The more i am discovering glasgow, the more i'm falling in love with it. I cant beleive i never visited this place. It's much nicer than London or Swansea. It is not that quiet but something about it gives me the tingle. Well, i'll make the most of this place while i'm here. I led praise and worship on sunday. I was so nervous, i almost fainted but it was cool. had people come up to me to compliment my beautiful voice but i cant take the praises, it is all the Lord's doing! and i thank Him for that.
Big Brother has just been going the way i want. Bertha (aka Miss Smarty Pants) was out this week and she was so evasive on the questions she was asked... i must say, she is a good lawyer and that is cool. Now i cant wait for Kwaku to leave and let the real game begin. Ofunneka gets my vote and i know she is winning this.
Ok people, i gotta go. Professional skills is calling. Take care and enjoy the rest of the week.
Ciao!

OH THE LITTLE THINGS WE TAKE FOR GRANTED...
Hey hey hey! y'all thought i was done with boring you? no way, i take delight in doing that. First of all, Happy 47th Birthday to us all. I hope you all had a nice time resting and your are refreshed for today and the week ahead? I know i am... if i can catch my breath.
Surprisingly, Glasgow is warm and not cold at all or maybe it is because i walk everywhere and so my body heat goes thru the roof. I live in the heart of the city and my school is ten mins walk away. I was very happy when i realised i had to walk to school ( i mean i get to exercise twenty mins each day and also shop while at it...so many shops on the way) but what i didnt realise was that the school was up the hill ( just imagine climbing a mountain). The first day, i didnt know my way around, so after walking round (or would i say climbing around) the city centre for about 15 mins, i finally found where i thought i was going to, only to get there and i was told i had to climb back up to where i was coming from... my first reaction, was to find a nice spot on the ground, sit and cry... but it was cool, i handled it like a mature human being that i am... went back home to start again the next day. I finally got registered and decided to check out the library, u know check my mails and act serious... men, i did another set of hill climbing ( with my stilleto boots) and by the time i got there, i sweating like a christmas cow! i had to sit on one of those 'love seats' (the kind you find in love gardens all over naija unis... Tolani was a faithful visitor)to cool off. It was hilarous! pple around me were smoking to ease off the cold and here i was about taking off my clothes 'cos i was HOTT! Anyways, from there, i branched the next software shop on my way home and got me a laptop. I will only go to that library on saturdays when i dont care about sweating (exercise).
All these climbings and walking around, makes me miss nigeria... i mean i just have to drive to where i'm going to and if i dont have a car, i'll use Okada ( i think i have to suggest that to the british govt... a lot of pple will thank me for it). My class consists of 33 over serious pple and for some reason, the lecturers all come in various shapes and sizes but there is this cute lecturer from canada, (kinda reminds me of the cute Public Law lecturer i had in my first year... needles to say, that was the only course i passed with a grade above 50% in my first year) i kinda have a feeling that i will make a distinction in his class (Statistics!). The department organised lunch for us ( when u hear lunch, you think of rice, spaghetti, ofada stew etc.) which consisted of the different types of sandwiches you can imagine. I was like "what is this?" i miss nigeria. Speaking of Nigeria, I met this Nigerian guy from Delta State (Chike ur kporakpo) in my class and he is so smitten by me (who wouldn't be... no be wetin trip Roddick?) he took me out for lunch. He is cool but at the moment, i'm not searching so no more lunch as i feel guilty not returning anything for the lunch.
Met up with Ebele last week when i went to Aberdeen, we just took a stroll a long Union street doing nothing in particular. Maybe, we will organise a proper meeting with Bimpe and we will hang out in Aberdeen, glasgow or even take a trip to France... dont worry, we'll send pics (IPML Reunion 07).
More on Big brother, Lerato became the fifth housemate to leave the big brother house. Frankly, i wont miss her. I mean the girl was a B#$&%h! she felt she was so pretty and so it! (wow, i just described myself...but there is a difference, i am pretty and so it!). Oh well, the bed wetter is gone and i'm so ready to send Bertha out, then Kwaku, Code etc... i have a feeling that Ofunneka will win this.
Anyway, i gotta now, i'm trying to read up on what Statistics is all about so i do not dissapoint my cute canadian lecturer ( dont want him thinking i'm stupid). And oh before i go, i passed my first stage of interview with the Royal Bank of Scotland ( cool bank) and i cant wait for the second stage then the job is mine by God's Grace ( y'all should include me in ur prayers). Also, i'm leading Praise and Worship in church on sunday... how cool is this? i'm loving it!
Y'all have a great week ahead.

All these climbings and walking around, makes me miss nigeria... i mean i just have to drive to where i'm going to and if i dont have a car, i'll use Okada ( i think i have to suggest that to the british govt... a lot of pple will thank me for it). My class consists of 33 over serious pple and for some reason, the lecturers all come in various shapes and sizes but there is this cute lecturer from canada, (kinda reminds me of the cute Public Law lecturer i had in my first year... needles to say, that was the only course i passed with a grade above 50% in my first year) i kinda have a feeling that i will make a distinction in his class (Statistics!). The department organised lunch for us ( when u hear lunch, you think of rice, spaghetti, ofada stew etc.) which consisted of the different types of sandwiches you can imagine. I was like "what is this?" i miss nigeria. Speaking of Nigeria, I met this Nigerian guy from Delta State (Chike ur kporakpo) in my class and he is so smitten by me (who wouldn't be... no be wetin trip Roddick?) he took me out for lunch. He is cool but at the moment, i'm not searching so no more lunch as i feel guilty not returning anything for the lunch.
Met up with Ebele last week when i went to Aberdeen, we just took a stroll a long Union street doing nothing in particular. Maybe, we will organise a proper meeting with Bimpe and we will hang out in Aberdeen, glasgow or even take a trip to France... dont worry, we'll send pics (IPML Reunion 07).
More on Big brother, Lerato became the fifth housemate to leave the big brother house. Frankly, i wont miss her. I mean the girl was a B#$&%h! she felt she was so pretty and so it! (wow, i just described myself...but there is a difference, i am pretty and so it!). Oh well, the bed wetter is gone and i'm so ready to send Bertha out, then Kwaku, Code etc... i have a feeling that Ofunneka will win this.
Anyway, i gotta now, i'm trying to read up on what Statistics is all about so i do not dissapoint my cute canadian lecturer ( dont want him thinking i'm stupid). And oh before i go, i passed my first stage of interview with the Royal Bank of Scotland ( cool bank) and i cant wait for the second stage then the job is mine by God's Grace ( y'all should include me in ur prayers). Also, i'm leading Praise and Worship in church on sunday... how cool is this? i'm loving it!
Y'all have a great week ahead.
