NOLLYWOOD HAS COME AGAIN.

Nollywood has come again with their lack of creativity. They are copying a foreign super hero and this is the best they could do.
It's really a pity that time, energy, resources and brains are not invested in making a movie. What they are only after is the money they will make from whatever story they cook up.
Just look at the fat spider girl, lol. How will she be jumping from one wall to the other? Please please please, if you movie makers have to copy a foreign super hero, copy one that you can depict well.

Any way, in my mind am like................................................................

SEE GBEGE.

"When you buy 50 litres petrol at N200 per liter and your grandmother pours it away to fetch rainwater"

Saw this on social media, lol.

And some of this fuel was supposed to go into the car that he would have driven to his favourite shops for Black Friday shopping. Grandma, he has been planning for this shopping since January 1.
Now see what you have caused. 
Grandmaaaaaaaa.

HOW TO SURVIVE BLACK FRIDAY 2015.

It’s that time of the year that buyers like you and I have been waiting with bated breath.

Our wishlists have continuously lengthened and fingers have nervously twirled credit cards in anticipation to buy, buy and buy! Indeed Black Friday is here again!

Black Friday is an annual affair held after the American Thanksgiving. Slowly but surely, Black Friday is actually becoming a thing in Africa – the increase in the internet penetration rate and the boost in the number of online businesses scattered across Africa has garnered support and thus heightened anticipation of Black Friday in cities across Africa.

Typically, customers would wait for their favorite online stores to bring down the normal rates and then, they’d let their credit cards do the rest of the magic. Indeed, the power of the customer should never be underestimated. Jovago brings some tips for surviving the Black Friday flurry without breaking the bank.

Enjoy Jovago’s Black Friday starter pack.

1. Have a budget, a tight budget: Of course, the excitement about finally getting the items you have waited all year for is amazing, but it is quite important to have a budget for the spending you intend to do on Black Friday. Don’t spend so recklessly on Black Friday and end up broke on Christmas Day. Where’s the fun in that!? Creating a budget and attributing a worst-case scenario price range to the items you intend to get helps with ensuring that you don’t get plain broke.

2. Shop smart and have a smart list: Making a smart list of items that one needs is important before embarking in the Black Friday frenzy. This would ensure that buying is done within the parameters set in the list – discipline is needed to ensure that you stick to the list. Having a list also saves shopping time since you know exactly what you need and where to find it!

3. Have in mind your go-to stores: Definitely, we all have our favourite stores to shop from. Having go-to stores saves us unnecessary online surfing. It’s important to have a list of go-to stores you would normally shop from in order to round up the shopping as soon as possible.

4. Have a steady internet connection: We know that the internet connection is not the best in many parts of Africa, so try to have at least a back-up modem just in case your internet fails when you’re just about to check out. Keep in mind that if this happens, it could be a sign that you’re not to make the purchase.

WHAT A WAY TO START MY DAY.

I wasn't just in the mood to drive to work today because 1, I didn't want to encounter the crazy traffic in all its ramifications 2, I didn't want to compete for driving space with other road users who would also be rushing to work and 3, I didn't want to get to work with my body feeling sore from the hectic driving. 

So I decided to leave my car at home and take the bus. As I trekked to the bus stop the early morning breeze was just caressing my face, I got that feeling you get when you're taking an early morning walk. What's the word for it......cool, calm, at peace....you know, all those kain feelings. 

I had a good night's rest and woke up bright and strong.I had ironed my cloth with a very good brand of spray starch so my clothes just snuggled well on me. My shoes were on point and my perfume was divine. In fact, I got the inspiration that today was gonna be great! In fact, I was about to start singing that James Brown's song "I feel good, tarararararara" but I decided to hum it.

I got to my bus stop and met a few other passengers with whom I exchanged pleasantries and stood waiting for the bus to come along. The early morning sun was gradually rising so I brought out my designer shades and slipped them on. I even struck a slight pose and continued waiting for the bus. I couldn't help it but I was seriously forming ‘fine woman tins’. I stood there close to an hour and still no bus was forth coming. By this time I was already sweating from the beaming sun and I was no longer in the mood to strike a pose. I just stood with both hands on my hips with a deep frown that  made me look like a 75 old lady. My lips were pouting out in irritation and the fact that I would be late for work only made matters worse. Of course,  the few passengers I had met earlier on was now a crowd all waiting for the bus too.

Finally, we heard the loud honk from the bus. I didn't know when I rolled up the sleeves of my blouse, removed my shades and jacked up my skirt a bit in preparation for a mad rush for the bus. These same set of people that had earlier been nice suddenly turned hostile. You see what scarcity of anything can cause? Some people had already started running towards the bus. Everyone was elbowing and either pulling or pushing someone just to get on the bus. One fat woman then decided to retie her wrapper and blocked the bus door with her big bumbum! Nobody else could enter the bus till she was done. When she managed to heave her bulbous self in, the scramble began again. What amused me later on was that she occupied 3 seats and insisted on paying for one seat. Yes, she was that fat.

Anyway, as I was about to sit down I didn't see a piece of iron jutting out beside a chair and the next thing I heard was zzzzaaaaaa! Noooo, this can't be happening but it was happening. My skirt tore at the back! Hey Chineke!! What was I to do? The best I could do was to sit tight and figure out what to do when we got to my destination. I was so self conscious of my predicament that I couldn't think straight. When I got down, I looked like I had been in a cat fight. But I straightened my clothes, smoothed my hair,  held my head up and started walking towards the entrance of my office.

As I was walking the cleaner said, "Aunty, your skirt don tear for back o". Yes, I know but don't tell me about it. In the lift, a colleague tried to be polite and said, "Madam, there's something on your skirt. You might want to check it out". The look I gave him sure kept him mute for the rest of the ride in the lift. 

When I got off my floor, I didn't even say hi to anyone but maintained a look that screamed, "don't you dare speak to me about my torn skirt". They were all staring after me with some of them obviously amused. I wished the floor would open but I finally made it into my office and first heaved a huge sigh of relief then slumped into my chair and drank this very chilled glass of water. Just then, the office assistant popped in and before she could say hi I said, "before you say anything, help me borrow a scarf from anyone. I don't care if you have to go to a market and borrow from the market women there, just get me a scarf". Luckily for me, I got one within the office...whew!

I looked awkward tying a scarf around my waist, lol. Some people that didn't know my gist asked me why I was dressed like that but I simply told them that it was my fashion for the day. As for my boss, I had the true explanation for him.

PRAYING FOR FRANCE.

It is really unfortunate that some disgruntled fellows will see an error in praying for human beings of other climes. France has just been attacked by terrorists and some Nigerians prayed for them, including my humble self, while some others saw it as a complete waste of time.
The people we are talking about are human beings, not animals. And even if they were animals, there are decent ways of killing them. How can some twisted minds take pleasure in detonating bombs where people are just living their lives. They kill off men, women and children all in the name of whatever god they believe in. It is evil, condemnable in all its ramifications and very cowardly.
It's really heart breaking that some Nigerians have no sympathetic feelings towards those that lost their lives and towards the entire country as a whole. Some of them are so cynical in their responses that I begin to wonder if they have hearts in them at all. " Bombings are a frequent occurrence in Nigeria so what is the big deal if it happens in France." Really? No seriously, really? But you want to relocate with your entire family to their greener pastures. You rant all day of how life is easier in obodo oyibo and how you wish you were not born in Africa. Those that can afford it go there for vacations, now they need our prayers and all they can say is that Nigeria needs the prayers more and not them. You all are a pathetic bunch!
Yet Nigeria is claimed to be a very religious country. It is obvious that the religions stifle out human sympathy and neighbourliness in some people's way of thinking. Every Friday and Sunday and even mid-week, people troop to their various mosques and churches and do what they do there and majority pretend and form 'holier than thou' attitude. The minute they step out, their personalities revert back to what they really are. So what is the essence of attending such assemblies if it does not make one a better person?
On my own part, I will continue to remember people in my prayers, what about you?  

ALLEGED THIEF MADE TO UPLOAD HIS PICTURE ON FACEBOOK.

This is wickedness, because you caught some one stealing and next thing you can think of is to take his pictures and upload them on his Facebook profile.

It's like he was caught stealing, beaten blue black and forced to upload the photos.

He posted the photos along side some short videos on his Facebook timeline saying....

This is actually who I am "A THIEF" ...should in case you all don't know! ..sorry for disappointing you all

A close check on his Facebook profile shows that he stays in Lagos and is from Port Harcourt, I tried to get his phone number so that I can call him to confirm this but could not find any.

I call on the law enforcement agents to take up this case.  

http://www.jaybossng.com/2015/11/lagos-guy-uploads-photos-on-facebook.html

My take on this is that jungle justice is not the way forward at all. The crowd that caught him could have taken him to the nearest police station and not beat him up. Some of them don't have the facts of what actually happened, some may not have been there at the time the alleged thief was caught while the rest will be feasting on hearsay, 'them say them say'. When all these categories of people come together, their next conclusion would be to beat  up the person. 

But na wa for all these boys that decide to steal stuff. They wont find any other legitimate means to make money, but to steal. And when they are caught, they start reeling out one story or the other. This guy is lucky that they did not put a tyre round him and set him ablaze. A very horrible act! 

SOUTH AFRICAN TWINS MARRY THE SAME MAN.

26 year old twin sisters, Owami and Olwethu Mzazi from Vosloorus, South Africa recently got married to the same man, 51 year old Mzukiseni Mzazi.

When interviewed by a South African magazine, the sisters said they’d always known they’d marry same man as they have shared everything else together since they were born…
“We have always done everything together. We share everything. That is how our grandmother raised us. So when we decided to marry, we said any man that wants to marry one, will marry the other” Owami told Drum magazine.

http://www.informationng.com/2015/02/photo-meet-south-african-twin-sisters-who-married-the-same-man.html?

These twins believe that there is love in sharing including sharing a man. Good luck with that and good luck to them in their marriage but when their husband starts comparing one twin to the other, they shouldn't complain o.

THIS AEROPLANE WAS CONSTRUCTED BY A YOUNG BOY IN ENUGU.

No doubt Nigeria has a lot of talents. Talents that can match their counterparts anywhere in the world. And its high time the Federal Government took bright minds like these and invest heavily in them. The developed worlds as we have it today developed themselves by picking sharp minds like these and bring out the best in them. That is why they keep developing keep moving forward. Once a new idea is introduced, they look into it and develop it further.
But here in Nigeria, the reverse is the case. They will consider the person's geo-political zone, his tribe, lineage and umunna, his religion and the list of considerations goes on and on. At the end of the day, politics will enter and the whole idea being proposed will be thrown into the dustbin. We can NEVER move forward as a nation if we claim that we want to.
Well, all the best to the young man and kudos to him.

EBONY STATE GOVERNMENT TO SLASH MONTHLY ALLOWANCE OF CORPER DOCTORS FROM N150,000 TO N15,000.

Whatever reasons that the Ebony State Government has to proffer for this insensitive move is irrelevant. I mean, this is most unfair and inconsiderate. Considering the economic situation in the country, their former pay was manageable but to now slash it down to N15,000? Haba!
This move is going to dampen their work attitude and the Government forgets that these corpers are dealing with human lives. It is not enough to just wake up one morning and pass laws, you need to consider the short term, mid term as well as the long term effect. If the Government is broke, which is the body language of the President, then a slight slash would have been pardonable not this.
A good pay is one of the incentives that motivates the earner to give his best at work. And in the case of these corper doctors, the Government has just opened an avenue for them to engage in sharp practices. Doctors please no carry vex and chook the wrong injection o.
Lest I forget, Pharmacists and Nurses who were earning N91,000 and N79,000 respectively are now to be paid N5,000. Funny but not funny.

SOME PEOPLE SEF.

This has happened to me like 3 times and I keep wondering why some people pull this stunt. I need directions and after you are done directing me, the next thing is to tell me that you are going my way and I should let you ride in my car. The other day i was in need of directions,and am actually half way to my destination but I got stuck. I cleared off the road and asked some people standing by the side of the road. As am getting the directions, one particular director said, "In fact, am going the same way. If you don't mind, let me enter your car so I can show you the road. You have a lot of turns to make and if you miss any turn, it will be very difficult for you to get back to the junction where you're supposed to enter. There's this turn that is difficult to locate and if you miss it, you will have to drive daaahn daaahn daaahn to make a U-turn. And you know you can't drive one-way because all those wickeding LASTMA officials will cash you if you do."
Am listening to the guy and am like so my route has suddenly become the same as yours, okwia? You didn't take a bus or cab to where you're going, na me go carry you go there. Nna mba o.
What if you pull a gun on me and rob me or do me chandum tins?
In my mind I said, "Hol' up! hol' up!. Thanks but no thanks. You can't hitch a ride with me, gerrarahia!" But I gave him a nice plastic smile and thanked him for his help.

WHO WANTS SOME PANCAKES?!

So today, I figured I'd share pancake recipe. It is a snack that can be enjoyed by everyone, young and old. A bite will have you begging for more. Yeah yeah, I know it's filled with some fattening stuff we don't want but hey! one relapse is not so bad, is it? Even if it is, we can always hit the gym work out and simply burn off some of those fat, yeah? *Grinning mischievously*
Moving on, I wanna start with the plain pancakes then share other varieties in subsequent posts.

So lets get down to it.
Baking flour.......4 cups
Sugar.................1 cup
Salt..................1 level tablespoon
Eggs.................2
Milk.................2 tablespoons
Nutmeg............like a pinch or two
Water
Vegetable oil or any cooking oil of your choice
Fine meshed sieve
Frying pan

OK! First sieve the flour to remove any unwanted substances in it. Measure in the sugar, salt, milk and eggs then add water. Mix them together to achieve a consistent paste. The paste should not be too thick or too watery. It should have the consistency of paint, you know, paint used for buildings. Be sure that there are no tiny tiny dry flour balls in it. To get rid of the balls take time so what I do is that once I achieve the desired consistency, I pour the paste into the sieve and all the tiny tiny dry balls dissolve. Voila! Then I add the nutmeg.
If you want to sieve the paste like I do, do not add the nutmeg before you do so. This is because some of the nutmeg particles are going to get caught in the sieve thereby costing you some of the nutmeg flavour so add it after you are done with sieving.
Pancakes are not fried with so much oil otherwise, it will get soggy and nobody wants to eat a soggy pancake. So pour in very little oil into the frying pan and move it round to cover the  base of the pan. Measure in some of the batter with a cooking spoon or a cup and move it round the pan so that it spreads out. Fry in medium heat for about 45 seconds and flip it over and fry till it turns golden brown in colour. However, you may want to leave it to darken a bit more if you like then remove it from the fire.
Pancakes can be served with honey, hotdogs, pap, tea, juice, peanut butter, fruits or whatever catches your fancy.
So there you have it, try it and testify!
