Awesome Wonder

Happy New Leap Year readers!! Feels good to be back despite the phase of life I am going through at the moment. I thank God for 2011 but I know 2012 will be better. There has been so much running through my mind, sometimes I don't know whether to voice it out, but really to who/whom?! If you have seen me these past days you don't need to read the frustration tattooed all over me my sister can testify to that.

In all things I still need to give thanks to God who has spared my life till this very moment, it is all by His mercy and grace. So many thoughts ran through my head today, from the aura of different male colognes which gave me a slight headache to the song "Awesome God" administered by the lovely choir in church. I had no inner-peace, my soul was perplexed with the current happenings of the nation and at the same time I envisioned the Awesomeness of the one and only great God.

It has gotten to an extent that I may have to disclaim my birth country but permit me to say I am a citizen of heaven sent by God to be ehnnnn *thinking* probably an agent of Nigeria x_x that should fit. At first I never wanted to air my views about this whole subsidy removal, at a certain point I was for Jonathan but as we speak I don't know if I am on the fence and indifferent about everything or yet again I am one of Jonathan's voltrons(twitter language- meaning to be against a person). I will try not to rant or chant away so my views can be understood.

Sunday 1st January, 2012 couldn't have been worse than waking up from a lovely siesta to see my social feeds with a tweet that PMS is now 141 naira O_O, this is the part you clean yours eyes and wonder if it is just a dream. The first thing that crossed my mind was WhyTheHell did I not fill my tank up yesterday, to me I was like I will buy the fuel like that. The next day I bought fuel only for me to realize the 1500 I just put was as good as 750naira my money had literally lost value, my savings in the bank was as good as half the value. I rained curses on Jonathan and his cabinet.

No infrastructures in place, corruption here and there, boko-haram shedding blood like its video gaming or one of those staged hollywood movies. All these made me a voltron of GEJ but I went on my own research to really see what the end meant if this subsidy is taken off once and for all since it has been a matter on the dining table for a very long time. In the long run the President actually meant well for his people or will I say subjects but really in summary it was the wrongest time for that move. Then again the word CABALOCRACY came into play.

Let's break down the word "cabal" the artifices and intrigues of a group of persons secretly united in a plot. I heard a cabal has been benefiting from this fuel subsidy or will I say they are a certain few behind closed doors enjoying the wealth available for the masses just to themselves. Let me put it in a lame man's language, they are the new generation mafia which existed in the 70's. They are absolutely untouchable that's what they feel, they feel they are gods and have forgotten they are men and dust will they return to. This reminds me of "oversight" in the tv series called nikita, the group of people who think they control the divisions op and Percy himself.

Cabalocracy is a government of the cabal, by the cabal, and for the cabal. Sometimes I just picture a group of people who have accumulated power and are at one side of a particular door while some other people are pushing this door from the other side trying to get to this room of the cabal and we the masses are watching and clapping our hands. These people have gotten us petrified for too long and enough is enough we are now fighting for REVOLUTION. I am an angry youth but I can't find myself going to ojota or freedom park with a placard of curses on it only to reach my destination to meet entertainers stealing the crowd really is that what #occupynigeria is about?! Anyway I don't know the best way to approach the situation because I don't expect the protesters to go there in a despondent manner.

Back to the Awesome wonder, I wish I could explain how I envision God, I wish I could draw it or just put it down somehow but how I see God seems it is meant to be in my head only. I know He is up there just watching and waiting for the right time to intervene. Today during sunday school in church we had a very interactive class with the caption "VENGEANCE" and the sect up north killing christians was the main focus. Different comments were voiced out whether it is time for christians to take their physical weapons and take the fight to these miscreants. They can't actually force God's children out of there, the bible says for the righteous shall inherit the earth, the same bible says wisdom is profitable to direct. In conclusion, the pastor rounded up by saying David sought the Lord and he was told pursue and you shall overtake. We can't just take laws into our hands since GEJ is feeding on 1billion naira worth of food and has forgotten his duties, he also said if he has a gun he will put it to use in the north defending himself, the time of slap left cheek I give you the right is over, once you are bombed there might never be another day to give the next cheek lol.

I wish I could just fully spit out my heart, the government is full of corruption infested leaders, we want them out but at the same time how are we sure the next generation to get into power wouldn't turn against the same people that voted them there. The people in power probably once thought I will get there and change Nigeria but they all got blinded by money :(. God owns this country and He is not asleep, soon He will fight for his own. In the words of Pastor E.A Adeboye in his prophecy for Nigeria in 2012 "It will be said All is well that ends well" for Nigeria. This too shall pass.

This post is dedicated to the Christians who lost their lives to the forces of the devil in the north and also the military men who died in that plane crash many years ago.
Armed Forces Remembrance day!!

Day30 - Something I am Excited for

Finally the last but not the least in my 30 day challenge writing series. I know it took almost 3months but trust me I was going through a phase. Have you ever heard when they say God's time is the best, it is really the best "All good things come to those who wait". I am glad to tell you I tried spying into 2012 and all I could see was that it was 10 times better than 2011 that has been my best year ever.

I am so excited that I can't wait for 00:00am 01.01.2012 to come, I can't wait for the over flowing joy, I can't wait to start the best part of my life, I can't wait to hear happy new year, to receive the warmest hug of my life, I can't wait to look back and smh and say it was worth the wait. I am too excited to type, this December has been so sweet and a memorable one, forever in the sands of time. I know you can't wait to hear my story so stick with me, the good news is on the way so wait for it.

I want to thank you all who were there in one little way or the other for me, the last 363days have been fun with you all, there were the depressing days and the joyful days but you have not seen or read the headlines about me yet. I want to say HAPPY NEW YEAR in advance to you all and keep it at the back of your mind that in whatever you do "Don't stop believing" and in case I never come back to blogging, by God's grace we would all meet at the top. This is just the genesis of it all.........

Day29 - Five Weird Things About Me

1. I am Claustrophobic- I hate crowded places especially with people I know. If I am with people I don't know I can manage or cope but sometimes it still gets out of hand. Okay let me explain, if I am in a place with many people who know me, I lose my calm, I become uneasy, I lose composure and if it is for a very long time I start getting frustrated and sweaty. Trust me I hate reunions x_x.

2. I hate Onions- My mum claims maybe if I had been eating onions right from when I was young, I might have been fatter and healthier than I am. Please tell her heavenly yimu for me. I can't just stand the taste of onions, it runs blood in my veins faster than normal. For the first time in my life after so many years of cooking I sliced my 1st onion x_x trust me it felt good and also tasted good. I guess its the thought at the back of my mind that keeps me away from the root vegetable.

3. I hate Traditional Wear- Asin seriously m I Nigerian?! I hate everything about culture it pains me to the bone marrow n my parents dislike that about me. I always give a #notinterested look when it comes to all these cultural stuff. 2009 not one day did I not dress english wear, 2010 we can say not more than 10 times...2011 I improved at least 15 times and upwards. In fact I wore trad on tuesday this week and guess what I was referred to as "Sir" with my boyish looks *winks*. 2012 I am going to sew all the materials I have piling up in my room, I just need that respect :D

4. I hate the Rains- Any day it rains I am just like a girl in her period. Mood swings here and there. I don't hate the rain because back then in high school our environs had clayey soil, people stepped on the clay and brought footprints to the room, I don't hate the rain because I stay in lekki and my house and street always get flooded. I have hated the rain right from childhood, it just brings this dark unusual feeling that makes me angry. You don't want to meet me on a rainy day.

5. I hate Alcohol- The taste disgusts me, I know this is weird for a guy but I don't know why I dare to be different. I just drink ehrmmmmmm let's just say peer pressure and wanting to be a big boy that's the lucid truth, you can't expect me to go clubbing and start ordering malt or smirn-off. I know alcohol makes you stop thinking of the present and makes you so high that you forget your sorrows for the moment but trust me it just sucks up all the water in your dumb brain yes you m talking to you. Give me berry blast and I would kiss your feet I love that drink more than even #teamarsenal :D

Day28 - Somewhere I'D Like To Move To or Visit

Caller no.32 on the waiting list of Swift's customer care. Asin for real today of all days I decided to have pictures on my blog my internet connection aint working, please bear with me.

Thinking, where will I really want to move to or visit. Yeah finally I think I want to visit all the continents *dats greedy of me* well its my blog. I really want to go to Alaska, I have always had thoughts of dieing the first night I sleep there. Ask me why?! Well I heard its so cold there that you need a freezer so your food stuffs wouldn't freeze up. Its so funny how I sleep with my fan on and wake up with blocked nostrils talkless of using my a.c and I want to visit the North-Pole. My respiratory system is really that weak :( God dey.

Trinidad and Tobago one of the archipelagic states in the southern Caribbean should be my next stop. You know how I always day-dream of marrying a wife from that beautiful island and starting my family there, well that's me for you :p. Next I think I will make a brief stop in Brazil, I have heard stories about their ladies always half nude :D pleasant to the eyes mehn.....heheh please don't hate. I really need God to save me from me.

Oh no!! I almost forgot Palm Island Grenadines, I remember the first time I heard about it, I hit my google button straight and I told God this is the place for our honey-moon if He tarries :D. Wow I am already tired of typing on this keypad well we r back to Europe and it is no other place but Paris ( I am still learning french sha), next flight to China, they are gradually overtaking the world if you can't beat them join them asap!! Anyway my main reason is that I really want to see how over-populated they are and still manage to be a great country no major reason.

In Africa if I were not Nigerian I would have wanted to visit this great nation to really see how third world they are. I guess the story I would have bn writing is: let me get to Nigeria and really experience what they mean by no constant supply of electricity. Well it is the other way round so south-africa here I come, its me Reme ur boy you have been waiting for. Last stop, let's quickly touch down Australia, hmmm heard Australasia is a magnificent continent I need to get ma footprints there. Okay let's stop the day dream, I think I need a trip to Accra for easter or maybe calabar here in Nigeria that should be fun.

By Gods grace 2012 will be fun, watch out!!!

Day27- A Quote I Try To Live By

Nisi Dominus Frustra pronounced nee-see daw-mee-news froo-stra. Okay before I go into the main post of the day I just want to say compliments of the season to all of you out there. I know I have been away for a while hmmm let's say about 3months but trust me before I left I was a sad man but right now I am so happy x_x don't know whether its because of the season or let's just blame it all on the Lord he alone is the source of my joy.

I remember the first time I came across "Nisi Dominus Frustra" I couldn't help but ping the owner of the personal message on bbm, usually I am not bothered by peoples pm or their status cos some peeps just update their whole life on bbm anyway this is not why we are here. He told me the latin phrase meant "unless the Lord we labour in vain" and it all made too much sense in fact it made brain #datisall.

Since then I have tried to live by it. It explains the 1st verse of Psalm 127....that reminds me I have been ordained as a worker in RCCG gigal parish (sunday school teacher/usher) heheheh I hear chants *preach on brother* lmao dnt mind me. Anyway Psalm 127 states and I quote "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain" KJV, this can be related to our everyday life without God in whatever we do, we all labour in vain.

So I need you all to take a deep breath after reading this and think if not for God where would I have been today...you can also steal it and make it ur most favourite quote *winks* I stole it so u can also steal it after all God is big enough for all.

HAPPY BOXING DAY!!!
Life without the Lord is in vain.

Day25 - Something I am Currently Worrying About

Plans sometimes change. Anyway it was expected but I have not given up yet, few days and I am out of this chilling town. My folks want me to stay back, a few old and new friends (sugar mummy) I just made also want me to stay but gidi is where my heart is. I miss gidi a lot especially that one special girl *stops typing and blushes a bit*. I told myself I would stop regretting but it is inevitable, I cannot force the employers of jobs to give me a job I blame the economy it is just fucked up (sorry for the swearing).


When I booked my ticket to come stay with my folks I told myself the only thing that would bring me back to gidi before my expected return is that sudden mail or phone call either for a job exam or an interview. I am tired of worrying, in fact I am done worrying. It is too early for me to start growing old due to worrying. During my stay here there was no one day my phone light blinked and I did not wish it was a heart-warming mail or my phone ring and I did not wish it was an HR member. Al is well *in my Indian accent*

I received so many gifts and even when I was asked what I wanted, I would say the best birthday gift I can wish for is a good paying job, I have not given up on God and I know he has not given up on me. I know my best friend stayed approximately 350days before he got a job but seriously I am tired of staying home, I am not the kind of person that likes seating in one place my body itches me a lot. My gift from God is still on the way I am trusting Him all out. I am too proud to ask daddy for money no I would not till things become too hard which I know would never get to that extent *I am so trying to smile* it is difficult right now.

Lagos here I come with 2 additional kg which I know I would shred in 2days, I am still laughing hard you wouldn’t believe what happened this night at our daily night devotion, daddy was the man of the moment he just came out of the shower which he was just observing for the first time of the day *if it is Reme now they would either murder me with the power or the tongue or wouldn’t allow me eat* and remixed not only 1, not only 2 but all the hymns we sang. I kept laughing hard but couldn’t be accompanied by mummy who was crashing, she really had a tough day, left the house by 7am for exercise then left for the market and didn’t return till 2pm. Let me leave my parents drama for now I am really going to miss them. Well I thought I wouldn’t be happy throughout this post but plans indeed change got to crash now, we leave for service by 6am and trust me you do not want to get an ex-military man late you would wish you were dead. Tkcr fellas Adios!!!
