RANDOM THOUGHTS

So Folks, the harmattan season is upon us. Harmattan is here…. And of a truth it happens to be my favorite time of the year, but for this runny nose, headache, incessant sneezing and eye itch, I’m here crying and praying for winter to just come and take over. I don’t want harmattan anymore. So while I write this post in not the best of moods and health, my dad has been giving me hot water and honey to drink, my mom has been giving me cappuccino with Ultima C and Vitamin C for sides, my sisters went to bring this capsule for me to take. As long as I feel better, ain’t no overdose fam. Moving on, I’ve drank and I’m still drinking, and nothing seems to work, so I’m on Google right now browsing on how to stop this ish. And I been seeing many medical jargons and stuffs, I’m going to share with you some of these useful tips tho, It might be helpful yunno. Meanwhile, I have put them in simple numbering format.

Dear Ebun, It’s been three weeks since I first saw you.... And I can't get the thoughts of you out of my head oh love....

IMAGE: ENEZE ADAVA "I'm dreaming of a White Christmas, just like the one I used to know, blah blah blah blah blah blah... And may all your Christmases be white..." I bet we all know that song.. CHRISTMAS IS COMING, and what do you want for Christmas? You know there's like the dream to all move overseas and do something worthwhile, but yo, nothing beats coming back with all the swag to see your homeboys and homegirls, I mean nothing beats Christmas in Nigeria.. Where else will you see Chinedu Manchester, Bayo Malay or Daniel Finland celebrating Christmas together? Or is it Abdul, God'sglory, and Ogunniyi all hanging out at the mall, different religions, one celebration..

S.I.O: TOBI BAMIDELE’S REVIEW The Theme: VIVID According to the ENGLISH dictionary that we download from Google Playstore which a planetary percentage of us have on our smartphones; VIVID means "A felt-tipped permanent marker, genericised from the brand". I tried in all honesty to relate this definition to the S.I.O spoken words concert and I couldn't make much sense from it. Then, I came across other meanings of VIVID like "Clear, Detailed, Powerful, Bright, Intense, Colourful" which is quite reasonable. However, I needed something deeper to vibe with and google is never far away. Google describes vivid as "giving powerful feelings or strong clear images in the mind, to evoke" and right there and then, I could feel the dots connecting.

Art by @oseikhuemen_aikpehae In my country, We have apples.. We have the largest Apple orchard in the World. People from far and near come for our Apples. But we don't eat our Apples For we are bound by chains of Corruption Our mouths pierced and locked by pot-bellied monsters We own the land and orchard But we're slaves in and to our Land Our leaders are on the tree They choose who and to whom the Apple feeds The worms feast on the ones that drop For we are locked out of our pride. The day will come when I'll burn down the land. The smokes that'll rise ll make the heavens cry And I'll laugh in hysteria. WELCOME TO NIGERIA - Tobi Bamidele

Few months ago, Which happens to be a year +, I took a break from blogs and writing to concentrate on a 9-5 job. And FAM, naah I was really not cut out for a 9-5.
