Wow this time last year I hated july,it was the worst month ever in my life but as God has it His grace and favour on me this month was just too incredible,right from the first day to this particular day there has been a story to tell day in day out.

July 2nd:B.Eng Electrical & Electronics Engineering.
July 4th:A friends grad dinner @ oriental.
July 9th:My roomies book launch.
July 13th:My roomies book interview with John C. Maxwell
July 16th:Pizza @ debonairs with Banky.
July 21st:The movies
July 23rd:House party @ phase1
July 27th-29th:Work @ 1004

July 31st: Woke up to a bright sunny saturday and my stupid bis had gone off anyway had to quickly reload...let me spare all the story and go straight to the point. Today was His Excellency Governor of Delta state's daughter's 21st birthday and a surprise party was held for her by her friends and we her classmates from secondary school at elegushi beach. I got there very late so I missed the best part, I mean her expression, the shock, the surprise gesture on her face.

I am contemplating moving to abuja cause I don't know what hi-tech is up to, they are driving me crazy with all the traffic and traffic lights on this stretch of road. Got to elegushi with a big smile and warm wishes, I was happy for her at least I was once that age. There were old and new friends but I just decided to chill with my first ever girlfriend. We talked about so much I was actually asking myself within me "does she ever stop getting cuter" haha memories of secondary school. It all ended well wish I could give you all some sneakpix but permission might be needed from some of the individuals in the snapshot.

After driving in stress back home due to irritating traffic, it was war in my mind whether to go for the dinner party at the oriental but my sister and friend forced me to go, I had no choice people. Wow it was fun if you were not there you missed out big time. It was actually japanese we had, the governor,his wife and close friend were on a table, while the celebrant and other friends were on different tables. I can still remember her funny uncle who gave a toast of when she was born and now she is finally ready to marry.

After cutting the two beautiful cakes which had shoes on top it was time for pictures and after that everyone crept out one by one. Sorry as I said before the pictures need permission. I forgot to mention that I saw 2 classmates which I saw 5yrs ago on graduation day from school, wow everybody is finishing school turn by turn,wedding bells are coming soon. It was time to go home, was thinking about the traffic I was going to enter before the numerous mobile police outside the restaurant caught my site they were just so many of them but why???just unnecessary.

Please readers do not try what am about to say, its dangerous and many lose their lives due to it. There was once a time I abided by my mum's rule 100km/hr but these days its hard to flee from speed on a free road. My previous record was 140km/hr on the 3rd mainland bridge but I was stopped by my 2 younger sisters who kept ranting whether I wanted to kill them and myself but today the 150km/hr was hit on lekki road with only 30km/hr left on my speedometer it was mad a time of joy, my starring was vibrating I just had to hit my brakes. I am saving 160 for abuja haha somebody gat to stop me.

This has to EnD

Strolling makes a lot of sense, I will have to do this more often, it brings about the realities of life, so many thoughts come crowding your head wow fantastic.

Today started quite early due to the 5 instant threat messages from mtn to terminate my bis, what a way to start my best day of the week "friday". Mtn still terminated it for the moment, also got a message on ma bbm from a friend that she is going to school if I wanted to come along. I had no choice but to accept the offer, I need my transcript to prove my worth to any company.

I had to rush to meet up with the stated time we agreed to leave, cooked quickly, ate and showered, only to find out that the driver wanted to be used by her mum, anyway I had to restructure my day but I was definitely out of options, no ride, was not ready to go and face chevrons protocol to collect a car, tried to get back to sleep no way so I ended up on the laptop with some good movies.

I have started living the bachelor life, had to cook lunch I am finally improving on my skills anyway its in the genes, if all my sisters and both my parents can cook what makes me different from them, they aint got two heads. After a little rest just decided it was time for a little stroll.

Forgot actually to tell you my bis just came back like that after some sim swapping, the beeps started coming in, everything na God o. My first trip was to the atm which didn't read my current account, God knows how long I have been waiting for the cheques to clear and now no show. I decided to take a walk on the side of the road to gtb and memories started flooding, the buffet I had with two of them in protea hotel this time last year, can you imagine its already a year I am not getting younger. I also remembered the thoughts of my long walks back from civil building when I went to do my night jackings.

Next thing the road starts flooding with cars, everybody is rushing home another long weekend TGIF, travails are over they all need rest after the long week but its so funny on monday again they start the hustle and bustle just to survive and probably not go extinct lol. It dawned on me that I am actually jobless as I saw chevron buses carrying their staffs back home, God knows how much I love that life, free lunch free transport. She actually told me yesterday when we were chatting Ehi you are not trying hard enough, do u know the people you actually think will give you the least always come out with the best advice, I need more friends like you lord help me.

I need to pack out of my fathers house quickly even though he has told me its already my house indirectly because all my sisters will get married and he is never coming to settle in lagos again. No I don't really want, I want to be an independent gentleman but I don't know how to hustle. Am I actually meant to go out on the streets with a folder containing my particulars under my arm looking for a job nahhh that is not the dream, all I need is God and the right contacts. She told me I have the brains so put it into use boy. I am actually going to try my best by putting in all my effort don't worry God is with me.

My thoughts came to a pause when I believe the worst thing that could ever happen to someone on a friday happened to me, wait for it.....are u still there? Ok actually the atm swallowed my card and it was already COB(close of business) so that makes it till monday. Gosh no money how will I survive I just have to let go of some pride and step up to my sis that's why she is called my big sis to help a bruv at least today is the last working day of the month salary suppose done enter her account. I wasn't discouraged I just plugged in my phone earphones turned the music up with bass boost so as to deafen myself to the worries of this world.

Hands on the JOB

Remelean @ work

This week took a better shape than the previous because I used my brain in the area of my field or better still my B.Eng Electrical and Electronics Engineering certificate was in practice.

It was a battle between theory and practicals, all I had crammed, poured and passed were nowhere to be found in my small hed buhh thick skull. I was feeling ashamed d@ I was a graduate of elect-elect chai c wahala o, I kept ranting C.U in my hed and the lecturers names respectively who tot about power rite from EIE321. Imagine ordinary RMU I didn't know d meaning after 5years o, anyway sed a lil prayer. It might be funny buhh cm to think of it the prayer worked o.
Ehi: O lord plz I need ur help more than eva b4, plz make me not carry last buh help me bcos ur d giver of knowledge amen.
I never wanted to practice power again buhh just tot I cld give it a shot, my friend from d 90's invited me to join his father's company as dey had bn awarded d contract of installing transformers in a section of wot used to be called 1004 or 1G4 housing estate now known as 1076 hope m rite o. Just took a trip der wiv d mind to play buhh I learnt from the workers wot can never be learnt in CU in d next 2yrs. For those out der who can help me pass d message to the school, help me tell dem practicals is needed o, excursion money is not for fun, even though its egbin power station take d kids sorry the students der.

Let me spare all d story, they had already removed the bad transformer b4 I got there, d@ transformer had bn der for over 30yrs bcos 1004 was commissioned during OBJ's tenure as a military president bk then in the late 70's. Anyway we had to couple some armoured cable, bolt it into the pry and sec Side of the transformer, we connected the phcn side, the side to the earthing transformer......d remaining details re in my writing pad and hed.

                                          Damaged Transformer

Transformer before full connection

The best part of work was my excursion round d estate, listen peeps its mad and I mean it, no wonder the 4bedroom goes for abt 49mill and the 2bedroom duplex flat goes for abt 27mill, hmm oil companies have bought almost every flat over, boiz its tym to sit up and get our apartment now....this is d dream a serviced apartment. Each flat has a touch screen cooker, heater, washing machine, well ventilated wiv split a.c's all around hmm @ dis rate re u sure I will not become an estate or house agent lol. There's a tennis court for each cluster, an entertainment arena for each cluster which has a large swimming pool a gym and many more. At the moment internet service is still bn installed, a working elevator, d rest com and find out by you I don tire.

Cluster A High rise

A Low rise

The scariest part of the day, our trip to the 7th floor which is d highest of d skyscraper, wow d place high o, even to take pictures wahala bcos u will think ur fone will drop from ur hand down to the ground. Anyway we were on the 7th floor of the C cluster, the aerial view from here is mad, we even saw d estates generating plant just very close to civic centre in Victoria-island. They generate their own power they don't need phcn to survive, u don't get me, they have their own electricity generating plant. With the help of the ring main unit(RMU) they tap all the way from an existing power station in falomo and also an existing line from eko hotels and suites....swoosh m moving der soon, they have a sewage plant, water works and 5 1000kva generators for back up. They must pay me o for advertising for dem, ppl have already started leaving der a few sha, very scanty & I still saw one Asian pricing one...Go and grab ur copy don’t say I dint warn u b4 its too l8.

Generating plant, sewage and water works.

The Female Gender

We have no other choice but to just love them despite wat they do whether right or wrong. For out of man was the woman made. I can't just help it but to live with their stress cos I have to see them everyday of my life. For instance I was given birth to my a female(hmmm I love my mummy) I have four sisters which i v lived with all d years of my life.

My elder sis just seems to frustrate me once in awhile, she ruined my weekend, she will not allow me have my car neither will she allow me drive the house car. Imagine her "daddy he doesn't need a car he is too irresponsible" chai c wahala o which 1 is ur biz in father & son gift, as far as I am concerned who is she to call me irresponsible, d@ is a harsh word. Where was she wen I struggled to go for classes when der was nothing to lose(resultwise) where was she wen I took hours in the library to study, where was she when I did overnight jacking, where was she when I earned good grades??? Jst bcos I got stuck in traffik mayb 2,3 hmmm up to 10 tyms and didn't come early enof to pick her up from work, or bcos I can't save my money she thinks I am a liability, hmmm she could be jealous I am the only son. Anyway this is bcos I missed a party, she took the car and didn't return early and her office is just a kilometer from the house. I didn't just ansa her when she returned, like my bruv sed ders no use of bringin up unresolved issues just leave those females to feel on top cos we ALL LIVE TO DIE ANODA DAY.

Wow I have this new friend, she is just so lovely but yet the naughtiest gurl I v ever come across anyway shez a female they just have to be one of a kind. Actually the first tyme I saw her I neva imagined we were goin to get so close, the way we met was so funny, just about a month ago, mysef and my ex-roomie sat close to her and he jst kept doubting that she was in d graduating class lol dat day was so funny bcos she had to take our numbers by fire and by force. We seem to be gettin closer as daiz go by which is fun anyway the story aint over yet.....

Behind every successful man there is a woman....lol don't worry I am alredy successful whether you like it or not. But mine is not a woman, asin I mean m not in a relationship @ the moment but I have this crush on this lil gurl which I can't just kill, I wonder why anyway if its real its hard to die, o I see it means my last gurlfriend it wasn't so real that's y all died so easily phew mehn m tired of typing. I have tried so many tymes to give up on this runs but there just seems to be hope or maybe its d@ shining lite I c @ the end of the road. Its been really a long tym since I saw her last but goddamn it shez so sweet, cute and wat have u, but please can somebody tell her to stop callin me d@ name lol. No matter whether you stay on the oda side of the city one day is one day and u will surely see me in your environs.

I hope no one takes offence in any of these.

The Brain

I just hav to pour it all out...a lot has been goin tru ma brain box probably bcos I am recklessly jobless,its becoming a do or die affair,its becoming permit me to say anywhere belle face, I am redy for any job, I dnt wnt to be deported 2 abj i Iove ma home, buh I really smell an end to this joblessness.

Back to my brain box and thinkin a lot which is really needed to exercise the brain. One of my professors once said we need to exercise the brain, cram a little but I have also added think a lil or a lot, my friends it helps. Due to the influence of my friend I have a big writing pad where I put down everythin d@ comes strait to my hed or anything I hear from somebody which makes @ least sense.

Buhh please wateva u do don't over think o , like the oda day thinking while drivin I made an illegal u-turn(y will LASTMA nt jst close d@ place up) and b4 I could blink I saw 2 of dem wavin me to slow down, I alredy started hittin the brakes b4 I remembad arrrr dey don see mugu,2ce in less than a month dem wan make money, I hit my accelerator and continued my journey lookin at my rear view if they were comin for me, I was redy to brk the core value integrity and deny mor dan thrice lol.

The job hunt has not been easy, m on google almst 24hours, I talk to almost evrybody bcos u neva know where help is coming from. B4 this gets too long again I better get back to sleep cos today I m operating on d oda side of d clock, I just had to break my rule and do mid9te call, anyway I was exercising the brain pouring out thots to her..hahah!!!

My Faithful Bed

M vry sorry but most of my writings are goin to be in short hand plz bear with me,its cos I m using a handheld device...

Anyway where do I start from,let me say it feels gud to be back @ dis again and I mean BLOGGING,I actually read from ma ex-roomate's book "what's d big deal" side of life. You and your write-ups better still thots will die someday and you wil ve not added to any1, so I guess I just have to put something down even though its not everyday.

Right now I am on my ever faithful bed which has helped me so mch, the times when I was sick, the tymes of siesta, the tymes of boredom and I just want to think my bed is always der, the times phcn are on strike ma bed is always der. My friends keep asking me Ehi go out and have fun re u not tired of d@ bed, the truth is d@ I am tired but when I think of d@ lekki traffik and how I suffered intenship days it is actually really better if ders nothin of high priority out der to be indoors and do some thinking. Pertaining to the thinkin part or will I call it daydreamin(I will still get to d moon) I heard a song and keyed into it, I also made it my bbm status once "I wnt to b a billionaire, I want to be on forbes mag" the truth is where do I start from?

Am so bored I need a job, money is finishing, I will soon run back too mummy and daddy when all fails, because really how m I meant to survive no constant pocket money, no source of income arrrrr man no fit die like d@ o. I just wish I knew how to hustle, der r still many more daiz of fun ahed, fun cannot be everyday. I actually have this big writing pad on ma room table where I have been putting down all d@ comes to my head. I guess I shud just go and settle for cert exams, GRE, CCNP, atleast its something to do, not jst being idle and looking for fun around.

Its alredy gettin too long for one post I just have to stop, but please do not go to far away from ma blog because something MEGA is abt to explode and I promise you will be the first to hear.
