Monday Uplift: DARE TO DREAM




For thousand years ago, the only people in the world were monkeys and they said,'We'll never walk' Erectus,We'll never talk, 'We'll never use tools and one monkey called the HOMOSAPIEN said 'Oh Yeah!,I'm walking and talking right now.... That monkey was DREAMER.

500years after, the Wright brothers decided to make a flying machine,'you fools,you idiots!What's your problem' , everyone shouted. 'That will never work because plywood weighs more than air'. 2weeks after, the Wright brothers responded  'No,it doesn't, this will work.'. The Wright Brothers were DREAMERS.

Vincent Vanghal, everyone told him 'you have only one year, you cannot be a great artist' and you know what he said,  'I can't hear you'. Vincent Vanghal was a DREAMER.

To Benjamin Franklin, people said 'you can't fly a plane in a rainstorm' and Benjamin said 'Yes,You can. If you have an electric kite'. He was a DREAMER too.

SO DARE TO DREAM, DREAM YOUR WILDEST DREAMS, YOU CAN CLIMB THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN, YOU CAN DROWN IN A TEACUP IF YOU FIND A BIG ENOUGH TEACUP AND IF SOMEBODY TELLS YOU YOU CAN'T DO SOMETHING, YOU SAY TO THEM 'YES I CAN BECAUSE I'M DOING IT RIGHT NOW. DARE TO DREAM.
 (Quote culled from a movie 'Dinner for Schmucks)

Have a great week people.


Live, Love and Learn.

Mummy North!

Guys, I have come again o!. This time, its about a certain Mummy North. I will gist you all that happened since yesterday till now. Imagine how just a few photographs can stir up the world. Power of Social Media or perhaps InstaMedia (Instagram) So I was told Mummy North was on her own when Paper magazine walked up to her, requesting that she'd be the cover girl for their #breaktheinternet issue. As a sharp 34 year old nursing mother of Armenian blood, such an offer must not pass her by. Considering the amount she was going to get from it which by now we know would be no chicken fee.  My very reliable sources say it was actually Mama North that suggested the nude photos to The Paper Magazine.  Even its director told us that Mummy North said 'if we are gonna do it, let's really go there'.  According to him, it was Mummy North's idea to take off her clothes and show more butt. She was willing to take off her clothes.... Hmmmm, things we watch on TV. She must have...

#DoubleHustle - Banking meets Hair Fashion

It seems like everyone in Nigeria is an entrepreneur these days. Could it be some sort of trend that will phase out after a while, the liberating and elevating feeling it gives to be addressed as a business owner and an employer of labour? Maybe it is an attempt to break even in the current economy reality we are experiencing, or perhaps an effort to change the stereotypical impression that only white collar jobs are the best.

LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY

Its been a minute yeah, I know and I've missed you. After a conversation with some friends, I finally got inspired to write about one of my Living in Lagos Chronicles. As much as every memory of this incident surprises me, I find a reason or two to laugh real hard and even consider acting...lol. The initial plan on this fateful morning was to go to work as usual but then that bad angel whispered evil thoughts of where I could go to and would have more fun (unholy) obviously, #imnosaint!. So I changed routes and headed to ........... story for another day. I had enough opportunities to change my mind because I was so unlucky from the very beginning. First, I had to sit in a bus for 2 good hours trying to wait for passengers and of course they never came. I got impatient, got off the bus and went to some other bus stop. Luckily I found one, it took me to Costain. At least I was a bit close to my destination, Surulere. Then I began to wait again at the Costain ...
