Most times we live our lives trying to imitate people who dont even think about us for a second not to talk of if we exist, all because we want validation and acceptance from the public. We live our lives trying to meet peoples expectation which on the long run deprives us from living our lives the way we want to live it. We go the extra mile of imitating everything and when I say everything,from speech,to mannerisms,hairstyles,dress code, etc
There is nothing wrong in having a mentor, most especially if we pick the right attitude from the person but it becomes absurd when we decide to relive the person's life by picking up everything,including bad habits
I did a little survey of what it feels like trying to imitate someone,and I was not surprised to discover that 99.9% of the people I interviewed are living a fake life, imitating one person or the other ,and when I asked why,I could not get a logical answer
What happened to originality? where did being unique disappear to ?
Most people seem to be living a fake life and as such have lost creativity. Allowing others to set the pace and we follow hook line sinker,accepting anything that is en vogue,mundane, sometimes vain and absurd.
The brain was not created to be inactive.
When we imitate people ,we render the brain to be more and more inactive ,and only functional when something new comes from the person we imitate.On a daily basis,we look at the covers of magazines,browse the website and watch the TV,for the latest
Imitation has killed the spirit of creativity.
If we all decide to be creative,we can find solutions to the many problems of our lives and that of the world.

GIRLS WAHALA 2a
I was chatting with a friend of mine this morning, after the general greetings ,I proceded to ask him about his girlfriend and he told me they had broken up, when I further asked why the break up,he told me the girl had been decieving him all along until his discovery
One day for the thief and another for the owner.........................
What was the gist
She was double dating...................
How is it that we girls are comfortable dating one,two,three,four,five,six.............................. and wanting to compete with Solomon the legend or may be get a spot in the Guiness book of records.
The next question that comes to my mind is what are the benefits of multiple dating because if I say double I am limiting it to just two guys.I mean multiple,and then we have to start with the Advantages. However only one or two advantages comes to my mind as regards this
1. More money in our pockets to spend without giving a thought
2.Having a spare partner incase one of the partners starts misbehaving,we have an extra tyre or tyres (partner) to fall back to,as the saying goes," Dont put all your eggs in one basket"
So far these are the only advantages I think of except there are other advantages you know of then you can tell me by sending your comments
The disadvantages far outweighs the advantages ,such that if one of the partners has HIV ,then you can complete the rest of the story.

GIRLS WAHALA 2

Today is world population day,and as I was listening to my radio this morning,was trying to make an analysis of the mortality ratio in the country.
something just came to my mind,and I started asking myself some questions which you can ask yourself as well
1.How many unmarried sisters do we have in Nigeria?
2.How many divorced women do we have in Nigeria?
3. How many widows are there in Nigeria?
4. How many single mums do we have in Nigeria?
5. How many pregnant teenagers are there in Nigeria?
6.How many mad women are there in Nigeria?
Then these questions are endless, of course one of them caught my fancy and your guess might be as good as mine if I tell you the particular question .
The first one of course....................................
How many unmarried sisters do we have in Nigeria?
I want to do my own census of single ladies starting with myself ,then my immediate family followed by the extended family ,and the counting continues from there to my clan,village ,local government,my state and the other states in Nigeria.

GIRLS WAHALA 1
Girls and their wahala sef,sometimes I just keep wandering how we girls think and see things. Always calculating,scheming, and x-raying the pockets of men we come across
Most times interested on how much we can milk from a guy and not interested in whatever gibberish the guy says.
Once he asks for a date, the next thing that comes to our mind is the latest fast food,restaurant,cinema,shopping mall,boutique,salon etc we had been dreaming of going to, all in the name of bragging to friends as well as draining his pockets thereafter.
Haba.............
It is too much ke.................
why can't we just for once take ourselves out, enjoy our own company,spend our own money without waiting for a guy.
The french man will say
"la vie est belle"
Yes sistas"la vie est belle" doesnt mean we should live our lives x-raying a man's pockets.

Dream Life or Real Life
Sometimes when I sleep and there are certain exciting events that happen in my dream and when someone wakes me up,I get angry with the person who interrupts the flow of my sweet dream,But if it is a nightmare, I just thank the person for saving me.
When I wake up in the morning ,I say my prayers and thank God for giving me the gift of life,It is not easy to sleep and wake up the next day,i just keep wondering how it is possible that when we dream at night we find ourselves in another world ,most times with known and unknown people,only to wake up to another day.
I had a friend,Anthony Ayodele (God bless his soul) we were colleagues, but very close pals. We were always saying naughty things to each other and teasing each other ,often times I would embarass him in public and get away with it,of course I could only do that because we were pals. He would say to me "when I become the richest man in the world I will employ you to clean my shoes" and I would get furious over such statements,but they were all jokes,we would sit down and start analyzing people often times it always ended with an argument and betting who would win the argument.
We ate together for the last time on the 20th of June 2007 and as usual I teased him of his bad eating manners,which resulted into an argument between us,I really embarassed him in front of everyone and being his usual self, he just smiled and told me the food was going to his legs to enable him stand tall and strong .
I left the office before him,because he had some things to sort out,If I was told that he would sleep for the last time and never wake up ,I would have told him not to sleep
My friend ,Anthony Ayodele, slept some minutes past midnight hale and hearty and did not wake up the following day.
He went to the great beyond via sleep,We tried to wake him up but he prefered to remain in his dream land and refused to wake up. I wonder what he saw that made him decide to remain in his dream land
Such is life.
We sleep and wake up while some sleep and prefer to remain in their dream land
Which of the lives do you prefer
