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!!!

Day24 - Five Words/Phrases That Make Me Laugh

My birthday weekend is finally over I think it is high time I get back to the serious things of life. Anyway it was in fact the best I ever had, from partying (mad night) to hotel chilling to trying to lift some weights (bones snapped sha) to swimming. Ooops did I forget the buffet *me and food sha* the gifts also came rolling in, I never knew I was this loved even people I dint expect to remember that great day they all proved me wrong. Special thanks to God for keeping me alive to see another year and also making each year a better one for me because I am always on a higher level after every 365 days. I want to bless my family too, it aint easy having 4 sisters they would try their possible best to pamper and flood you with gifts and the gifts from my other friends it’s a big THANK YOU to you all, I have never felt this loved, looking forward to the next 361 days I can’t just wait.


This is the hardest topic in this challenge; I have been cracking my small skull to come up with something good o well!! I couldn’t so I can just say thank you for passing by. Heheheh don’t go anywhere yet, if 3 words were requested for it would have been too easy, if it was 5 words that get me annoyed it would have come rolling in a very long time ago anyway but here it goes. I wonder how many of you know Terry-G the ganja master (that’s what I think of him), he is so haggard looking, and sometimes I feel he is a mad man with a level of good sense. I wonder how much weed he takes into his system before he says all the rubbish that comes out of his mouth. Everything can be acting sha, he may not even be a weed master or a psycho he just wants people to talk or leave a comment. The 5 words that make me laugh are *you can stop guessing right about now* “MAKE I KNACK YOU APAKO”. I remember the first day I saw apako (pronounced akpako) on twitter, you wouldn’t believe I checked the dictionary, then a thought flooded my mind this word is too razz to be in oxford, forgive me I had not heard the song then, you know I am always carrying last when it comes to music.

Anyway the first person I asked the meaning was in my office and he was like its terry-g’s own slang, terry must have been high when he said it. It made me just take it as his personal phrase, you know now like Tubaba’s personal phrase is “NOTHING DEY HAPPEN”.I asked my very close friend and all that could come out of his dirty mind was “make I f*** you”, another person said it means “make I knack you stick”, another said “make I knack you stick” another friend thinks it’s a “BELL”…..this is going to be an endless controversy but as more replies come in I would feed it into this post. I leave you with this *now singing and dancing* make I knack am knack am knack am, make I knack you apako baby make I knack you apako…..lmao =D

Day23 - Something I Miss

Pardon me for my very long break, it wasn't really needed but it was necessary. It feels good to be back even though I am not really in the mood to write but I must complete my 30day challenge as promised. I am glad to tell you NYSC is over and my certificate is hanging in my room (jokes) its in one folder like that *one year gone so soon* anyway the real life has just begun.

The truth is that I miss my old self, let me put it this way, I miss growing up, I miss my childhood. Its not a life I want to go back neither is it one am so proud of. Growing up as a child for me wasn't easy, anytime I go back in time maybe after looking at my pictures a still small voice whispers in my ears so this fine cutie was a mumu boy.

I was one child in my own world, never allowed anybody carry me as a baby *only family* I would weep till the roofs came falling down. Nursery school you would drop me off in one spot that's the same place you would pick me up from. I hardly made friends, I was just into myself....it was a breakfast-school-lunch-dinner routine everyday. No extra-curricular activities, if my routine was broken like daddy telling me to go and play I would just leave the house pretend to play and come back.

Look at me now *in chris brown's voice* I am so different, people keep complaining Ehi you have so many friends, where do you know all these fine girls from. Actually I am not allergic to ugly girls but they don't just come my way. One thing I told myself when I graduated from secondary school was this: Ehi you really need to change, open up and if you think it hurts you can always change back to your old shy life after all I own myself. This has kept me going-on I can't even imagine still living that my old wretched life but I really do miss it. Life has thought me lessons, that you always have to believe in yourself no matter the situation. Low self esteem sucks,its not easy coming out of it but trust me giving everything a trial is worth it. I so love my life at the moment, with all humility I make sure I leave my foot steps on the sands of time, its almost impossible for you to have me as a good friend and when I am a distance away you wouldn't feel the impact that I am gone, you just have to miss me one way or the other :D

Day22 - My Academics

I have to say a very big thank you to God for making me who I am today. I can say the journey thus far wasn't an easy one, I can also say I wish I could go back in time and cross those T's and dot my I's.

My academics has been a very good one, sometimes I think so deep and I wonder where I got my wisdom and understanding from. I must confess its striving to do what is worth doing well that keeps me going. During the course of the week I was privileged to stumble across my seat partner in Class 5 and she reminded me how smart I used to be, I miss those days when I was focused, when fine girls where not the other of the day. Anytime I tell them(pry and high school friends) that I don't feel I was that smart they all yimu me and take me as a proud young man. Those days maths was the other of the day, as we speak now I have an online SHL test for a company I applied to but I am not in the mood to solve. I hate writing, I hate solving, I hate playing with figures, laziness has set in but from where?!

How did it start...this takes me back to class 3, I had this red evil maths textbook can't remember the name and trust me it is not ugo.c.ugo or understanding maths. Sums where so hard that I hid this book and told my parents it had been misplaced. They scolded me hard till I gave up my lies. One day out of 40questions I couldn't even solve one I ran away from the house forming I was going for choir practice. Unfortunately I never found my friend who I was to follow, I returned home to face the naval man's wrath he beat me so hard that I cried on my maths text. Guess what as the tears dropped on the page, it was like magic, I saw the answers, I solved in my brain, my little fingers wrote faster than my brain. Day in day out I mastered the act of mathematics, it became too easy. Pry 5 and Year 10 I ended up been the best maths student in my set.

Time flies you wouldn't believe that story just popped up in my head, how I remembered it only God knows. My academics has been a very graceful one I miss school, I miss education but along the line a girl always shows up. Its one more phase, one more mountain to cross for now at least my M.Eng in petroleum engineering that's all on my mind, I am even working on my essays so I can gain admission for my last academic stage of my life. I might still consider an MBA but till then my brain has been stretched but I must return back to school someday God sparing my life.

Day21 - How I hope my future to be like

The title of this post makes me smile over and over again...ask me why? Because if I start with my daydream about my Trinidad and Tobago wife with our son and daughter on our very own island you all would stone me with rotten eggs.
But really how do I want my future to be like? Do I want to be a working class man who is always travelling about with little or no time for the kids, or do I want to have my business so I can retire at an early age... These are the questions that bother me as I type this post.
I want to be comfortable enough, so I can get married to the right person before I am thirty years old, I want just two kids a girl and a guy, but if I get two of the same sexes concurrently I would try with another child then give up. I don't want to have a football team in my house crying and running helter skelter. I don't want a very proud future it has to be a lowkey one, I want to have a good job probably one in the oil and gas industry as this has been a dream for many years. I want to be a man who has made a little impact in my very own world someone who would leave footprints in the sands of time when I am gone. All these about my future has started a long time ago the plans are on ground and more scripts are added day in day out.
I Want to be so different from my dad, as generous as he is but still very different. By Gods grace I hope not to be in Nigeria but I am not saying if I find myself here I would kill myself, well man must survive but seriously even though my kids have their primary education here well after that they are out of this country shikena. I know God has plans for me and I am not ready to go out of his will for my life I just have to stick to the script without skipping scenes. I don't want a big house like my father, first of all I am not a guy that likes big things or let me put it like this big things come in small packages that's who I am. I would prefer go stay in a flat with 4 rooms, 1 for my wife and I, 2 for the kids and 1 for my guest. When I finally build or buy a house it must have more of land than the structure itself, there has to be more room for my lawn and parking of my different cars, a swimming pool and a mini-court. I think I am getting proud, anyway summer travelling around the world is a compulsory thing despite the country I finally settle down. I have so many big dreams that this white clipboard I am typing on cannot handle I think its better I leave my lips sealed and leave every other thing for God.
Time will actually tell don't go nowhere because your boy Remzay is actually heading for the moon and not the sky.

Day20 - My FEARS

I needed it badly, I couldn’t multitask, it was difficult but guess what I think I am back from my one week break. I am very sorry for not taking permission to go the break but trust me it was worth it. You know my NYSC us ending very soon so I took a break to work some things out.

Everyone has fears, even the richest man in the world is scared of tomorrow because he can die and leave everything, he may even be scared of losing his top position on the Forbes list. These are my fears;

I just have this feeling I wouldn’t marry a fine girl compared to those I have dated.

I am scared as we speak that I may change my mind and come back to this country when and if I finally escape.

I am scared that I could lose my life any moment from now without having to see lil Ehi.

I have this feeling I might not be as rich as I want.

I have this feeling that if I ask her out the answer is NO

I have this feeling I might not get the job I highly need at this moment

I have this feeling I may be this slim for life

I have this feeling that my stupidity or silliness may have increased from the last time it was measured.

I have this feeling she loves me but doesn’t want to make a mistake

I just have this feeling I may hit a girl some day even after 10years of abstaining

I have this feeling my best friend would not be my best man at my wedding

I have this feeling I may not make Heaven but God forbid.

I have this feeling that sometime soon this blog would be forgotten

I have this feeling arsenal might not win a cup even 5 years from now

I have this feeling that writing is not meant for me

I have this feeling that someday I would sleep and never wake up

I have this feeling I should never have written this post because my fears might actually come to pass K
