It's a day, a great day, we appreciate someone's love, someone's strength, someone's prayers and dedication, we appreciate our mothers!

Mothers...... WONDERS!!!

Their strength makes us soar, their cries move mountains, their joy brings rain.
The pain,confusion and joy of bringing forth, well only the face of a mother could show! I am thankful for my mother, our mothers,who have been through difficult times and those great moments! Its amazing being a mother and so many of us the younger generation are left to feast on our imagination. I know young girls who can't wait, well, I wish them well and would gladly congratulate you this time next year.
It is well known how desperate some women get just to be called mothers, surgeries, voodoo just to name a few. The sacrifices mothers make, career wise,financially and emotionally for their children. Coming from a broken home, I cannot imagine what I must have put my mother through but am always greeted with a big smile on her face. I know I am nothing without my mother so on days like this, I appreciate my mother and so many other mother figures in my life. I love all my mothers and (((in rozay's voice))) Lord knows they love me more! Yes, I adopt mothers, I can't help it because so many have affected my life positively. I continuously thank God for my mother, and for those who have lost theirs, I know the memories shared can never be replaced.
It is not by right we have(had) mother figures, it is a privilege

My lil' Rant

And they say he sounds like Jay. Ok, if you said he is from Jaytown and that's why you will say so its ok.
I have been listening to music a while now, am opportuned to listen to some real feel good tracks and some of the realest wack you'll ever come across. Thank God most of them do not get uploaded if not na serious danger oh! Some are so bad you will never want to listen to music. So sad someone who calls himself Jaytown's best radio presenter makes it his job to bring such songs to limelight, well after they must have paid! I really don't know what to expect, have you really listened to his show?
Ehen, back to the wack tracks, there was a particular one sent to me all the way from Lagos. Omo if na just because your Papa get money you think you will blow in music at least sound like Davido nah! That 'bros' got swegg and he sounds really nice repeating the same lines, well, even Sonia would confirm that. It was so bad I cried. Yes, it was me literally forcing shit down my ears! You no get Producer abi na wetin? People were really wicked enough to tell you that you are 9ja's fastest rapper. You should have known nah. How come people do not get sarcasm, you can't be Sheldon nah.
The greatest amount of crap I heard sha was during Enigma, Henigmar was a classic sha. From Abeokuta to Zaria,even some stupid boys in Yankee could not make good use of their studio time. I love upcoming acts, well I do have so many friends as upcoming acts but if you no dey sound good, I must tell you oh, kissing arse is not a talent I'll get from staying in Jos. If it is not good, it should NOT be PROMOTED!!!
Thank God plenty wannabes now understand when you say 'I am very busy now'! Please, leave it in your room, a hidden file on your laptop and the beat, well if its any good, give it out to someone who can make use of it. Some of us go buy beat for others, some of us go hype, some of us go hate, its quite unfortunate but some of us go love Kwality! Some of us can also be D'banjs on a Rozay and Lil Issue's track. Meanwhile, its time you really listen to Kwality, he makes Speed and Vic O sound really cool.

State of mind

And its that point when I do not know if it is too late to say happy new year or if na to troway face abi una no get calendar for house?
Its been ages, Yes, but boiz haff been hustling,ASUU is making life extra difficult sef,pocket money allocation has been scrapped by the "Federal government, and try complaining you'll hear "Sharaap, are you not at home? What have you done today? You have single handedly finished my food, look at my freezer....EMmmmPppty!!!" It haff do me jare. To think of it, its the time to occupy somewhere, anywhere! We can start from the kitchen to the Minister of Education's office, Some people go campaign finish occupy twitter sha! My class rep is somewhere washing nappies now sef, most likely he'll open a dry-cleaning agency if ASUU allows the strike to continue, call it diversifying.
House sef don tire me, the malls na same faces we dey see everyday, dude, na pictures you dey come snap? Thank God petrol is #97 if not I can not imagine how you jog from Karu to Central Area. I remember the first week of this year,even person wey dey work for Department of Petroleum Resources(DPR) dey complain because his wife wanted to show off their latest entry. "Honey, let us visit my family in Kaduna" woman,  my car has a V12 engine! As if she knows what a V12 engine is. Do not get me wrong, women know loads about cars but not this one! How person go call you honey, you reply with woman? Only JEG could do that. I am going to make sure I have nothing to say about JEG, that is a topic that would make sure you guys do not see me in a year or two... they will surely disconnect my Internet connection this time and send me back to my village to drink garri with fish and plenty palmwine. I will not complain because I am certain the Concert will come alive and he would be forced to bring me back thanks to my Pastor friend. Problem go dey sha because which roads would I pass through to keep me away from our Police infested roads (aka Highway Patrol), I might just be mistaken to be Kabiru Sokoto, collect better beating first then find myself in Abuja. My transport would have been subsidised by government. I might as well still benefit from subsidy or should I call this one a palliative? It is very funny how the Federal government has turned into Use of English lecturers giving us new words every semester! Ah, we can not complain, they do not strike!
  Thanks to everyone who reads this blog and have become part of my small family. I am trying to get the job of being the Chief Gardener in Aso Villa, I hope my resuscitating my little garden would help facilitate my cause. I dey diversify into grass farming sector,200 million no be beans.

PERFECT GIFT

No stars in the skies, most likely we'll have some heavy rainfall this night... I was rushing back home from visiting a friend. It was just a stone-throw from my place so I stepped  in, made myself comfortable and completely lost account of time! It had been a very long time since I visited so it was certain  I was not going to leave early,no matter the excuse. A nice movie on the television, loud music  and we were discussing in all that chaos. A few other friends had joined us so was much more fun, drinks,sure alcohol,snacks and no particular person was paying atention to anything! This was fun after a very busy week, the ups and downs of work was getting to me so why not unwind, besides tomorrow is Saturday, oh how I love the weekends. More sleep, time to have fun and catch up with my friends online.
Chilax, ah, lets have fun,I was gisting,dancing,games were coming up and well the time consciousness was completely forgotten. Besides my house is justa few blocks away and as it seemed I was more like amongst the Hosts now. It was getting quite late but no one really cared, maybe the alcohol's effect was setting in more than we thought... More noise, neighbours were complaining but who really cared, their turn is tommorrow,besides we won't stop you from joining us!!! Then NEPA striked, choi, why now and hisses was on virtually everyone's lips and then someone checked his watch.... 2AM!!!! JESUS,it cant be true, we've not been here for that long  nah,someone else confirmed then the rush began. Shit, where's my shoe, AH, hold-on abeg, lets walk together since we are on the same route, we'll keep each other company. Oga, abeg lock your door oh, we don dey go, rang in the air, was a nice outing but now my bed was all I could see! I had strolled for a while then I noticed I forgot my room keys in my friend's house so I had to rush back alone, I hope this guy has not slept off oh, where would I sllep now if he has, why didnt I just follow the bunch, surely there would be space somewhere for me to crash. GBA GBA GBAA GBAAA... SKILLZ open the gate oh,!!!  Dude you just got lucky, had almost slept off he said, gimme my key joor, I collected them and hurried off, was so dark seeing buildings was a problem, I could only navigate the path cos it was a road I was very familiar with.
Stop there, I said STOP, MOVE I SHOOT!!! Hian,which one be this oh, Mr Man, were you planning on running? the voice asked and seemed quite close.... From where? one question after the other,seemed he didnt care for reply, should I make a run for it? I sure do have a better knowledge of the scape so....but wait,he said shoot,does he have a gun,who knows, might be bow and an arrow or even catapult... this  was not the ideal weekend I forsaw minutes ago oh, where do I start explaining to this man that am a law-abiding citizen who lost account of time, then the giggle, oh shit, that's Tara, haba, were they also stopped, now Akin was laughing too,could that voice had been Tolu's,yeah, that's what they called him. They all emerged from behind the big rock by the path and screamed we got ya, happy birthday!!! Apparently, my key was removed from my jacket to ensure I went back to Skillz place and NEPA did not actually take the light, an Engineer was employed to throw the whole area into darkness........... AH, I should have known,how did I even forget it was my birthday?

Threading in the Dark

Aaaahhhh, Nepa!!!! Well how many times did you hear that today? If you its either you are presently not in Nigeria or you are not in 9ja! Yes not in 9ja means you are locked somewhere in which the tentacles of Nepa does not reach(my village) or you are stay in a an area where another means of eletricity is used! The funny thing is even when light goes off in your solar-powered building or wherever, the first thing that comes to mind NEPA!!! It is not certain, but Nepa might be amongst the first words most children in Nigeria get to learn. Nepa might be the only body who has changed its name but it continues being called Nepa maybe because we have learnt not to expect power always!

It is only in Nigeria that Law-makers will allocate funds for purchasing of torch-lights! Are you laughing? well Nokia too. That is the exact reason why torch-lite phones or Tee-series as I call them are bestsellers in Nigeria. Darkness will scare most people in other parts of the world but a true Nigerian will go through this without complaint considering even prisoners in civilised nations are not subdued to this! It is something we experience everyday so what is the big deal! Imagine,last week, a Nigerian act, Ikechukwu "Killz" tweeted that  the power supply in Washington went off (maybe because they were Nigerians having a Conference or was it a meeting? closeby.) Are we that attractive to darkness?

Light overcomes darkness, though the Power holders are trying so hard to prove that wrong! It is now so annoying all you see and hear on Commercials are Fridges that last longer with no light, other options of generating electricity etc. Our being called the Giant of Africa is more like a kick in the butt to the African Continent. Such a pity we are living far below the standards set by our Heroes past.

I am MAD!!!

Me mad,eh mad? Son of man has acceptedit.Yes, you guessed right! Well you made me say it. I said I am MAD! It is high time I let it out, some people will be happy am making this confession but I can't help it! I have held it in for so long so I better say it now! Nuelnonny is mad and happy, are you? I hear a "hater" saying amen and I echo that! I am mad not like most people but I have my special type of madness! I know some people are getting disappointed. Yes Nuelnonny is mad but only in the sense of "making a difference"!!
Ewo, haters are disappointed! Walahi I didn't know it was this bad. I am mad oh and am loving my madness! I never thought the day will come when I'll call my friend a madman but because he understands what being mad is, he will smile,give a high five and say,"we mad bruv"! Hehehe, being mad seems so cool! Our madness is not the common madness you might see everyday,unlike the madman you see on the road(the crazy one with the dreads which were forced upon him by nature) we are out to make a difference! The normal madness comes with a malfunction in the workings of the brain but we the "cool" madmen try to make use of as much of our brains as we can! Being mad like us is trying to make a difference in the little things we do! As a student,a worker, an entrepreneur, being mad is the way forward! A little madness separates my being promoted while others are complaining,my madness makes the contract being awarded to me, a little madness makes my boss give me that extra week off because he is sure when I resume I will cover up and even surpass what the ordinary next person in the office has done!
This madness sha didn't come easy! I only had to accept I am mad after getting into an encounter with a very ignorant bikeman! "You dey mad,talk I go just slap you,which one come be your own if I dey overtake wrongly" he uttered, I stared blankly at him trying as much as possible not to step out of the car in the hold-up and maybe get the hot slap he promised! Then it hit me, yes I am mad,I just made a difference,whether he likes it or not, the next time he wants to overtake, it will occur to him a madman told him there is a way to overtake. It took me madness to know madness! Madness saved my humiliation! I busted yes I am mad and am proud! The lady on the bike turned to stare, and me, fall my own hand? Godforbid, I retorted am mad because I am making a difference! She stared harder then it occurred to her,she was like yes you are mad,we smiled and the traffic warden waved us to pass. A new form of madness was born that moment! The madness we need so much at the moment.
Making a difference,being mad is all I would want to be known for! I hope our government and it's agencies,PHCN especially will go mad! I heard it, you uttered it! Well I hope you take up being mad today!
