ROLLING IN THE DEEP (thoughts!)

WHO LOOKS HOTTER IN YELLOW? TIWA SAVAGE OR NIYOLA?

Adele is still in my Guinness book of records for the best female Vocalist for the year 2011 to 2012, then we can consider Emeli Sande, but there is another lady who has been around for a while now but was just with the wrong crew (yes! she was with trybes men), she is not an American but a Nigerian who sounds just as good as Beyonce I must say, lets hope she gives Tiwa Savage a run for her money, record deals and endorsement deal, don't forget about the sexy wardrobe change, loll, yes! I know, its Niyola, first lady of E.M.E records, oh gosh! what took her so long? I love this girl, check her song out, "Don't Delay Me" by NIYOLA.

I feel like I am sitting right at the top of the world! Wednesday service was awesome, I got the word I needed to wrap the year up with(hope I got that right?, or should it have been, wrap the year up with?, loll), I am still expectant, grater things are yet to happen and I will always let the joy in me shine right through, especially whenever I think of feeling blue, asides that awesome message, another good though sad thing happened, I finally went for a funeral after 14 years since my father passed away. Going for the Nzeribes father's funeral made me remember how gracious and kind God is to man, he gave us the gift of mortality and eternity for those who live and lived the good life at the same time, I will miss Mr. May Nzeribe, he truly was a kind man, and the painful part is we never got to really talk much but I loved him just as I did my Dad. Some clowns at the funeral who sat behind me kept laughing, I know it is a celebration of life ceremony but they should have at the least of all, respected the man in death, so sad at the behaviour of his staff members. Some had good stories to say, I did too, (we better cultivate the habit now of telling the ones who matter in our lives how much we love them and not just wait till their funeral before we let them know how wonderful the are!) but had no time to say it so I put it in writing at the signing and spoke to him while in his coffin(Mr. Yarns was right next to me, and at some point said I am acting coo coo(mad/ insane) because I spoke to the coffin.

THURSDAY
Should I spill the bean, loll? or just wait till Friday before I say  how I met your Mother? loll. I hope I am still on the right track? too many talk and no definite direction?, okay, okay, here's the 411 of what went down, through my eyes on Thursday. I am up now, just said my morning prayers, my good friend is leaving town for a bit today so this means a little bit of boredom, I have to be at 4 places today, I pray I make this day productive. Touch down, I am at Gbadada (location 1 for the day), waiting for my modelling agent to come so we can get some things done, I am at the counter and a total stranger walked up to me and asked if he could take a picture with me, well, it did scare me for a bit but later, I figured out why he wanted my picture.(guess its a thing he does on a regular basis, loll, men! some mothers do have them according to Frank Spenser), my agent is here now and we are done.

THE FACES BEHIND THE BRAND, NIGERIAN BREWRIES AT SKY FALL OO7 PREMIER IN LAGOS

Just board a cab now to Nigerian Brewries at Orile Iganmu Costain (second location for the day). Uncle Sam is looking great and young, guess it is in the family gene to always remain young, hmm.I am done now and need to go, the whole floor was literally staring at me! now I wish I took a picture while on my walk about town today, I ran out of the office in my heels, guess my uncle laughed right after I left(actually, I flew, loll).
 

J SNOW OF KOOL NAIJA PRODUCTIONS

Walking on the long road to get a bus to Ikeja Ogba(3rd location for the day), my shoes were so distracting that even I too couldn't think straight! I eventually took it off and put on my flats till I made my way yo Agege(by the way, at this point, its not a location for the day because I am officially lost! laughing real hard) a kind lady finally helped and put me on a bike to the right direction i was to go to. At the studio now and we just produced another hit track at kOOL-NAIJA STUDIO, get ready for me Lasgidi, my seamstress just popped in and my dresses are looking hot for my Red Carpet appearance on the Hair Fusion Party. Set for home and off I went with J snow. 
Just left church out door publicity meeting and it seems like gaining momentum is really going to be the biggest event for the beginning of the year at Davids Christian Centre. I can't wait for it too. At home now and I feel very drowsy even as I type now so, before i type what I should not, I will just respect my eyes and body and go to bed. See y' all later alligators, be kind to one another, oh by the way, enjoy this video of  R n B singer, Miss Kerri Hilson dancing our Nigerian tribe dance steps, laughing so hard that I almost broke my teeth again, she really is talented.
