Obama and LOVE

Hiiii...Long time. It's been a while. I've not blogged for over 3 weeks now - it's because I've been busy, y'know. Very busy. I have loads of stuff to write about but I pray I have time to write them. Let me use this opportunity to thank you all for your responses on my last post - It's Sacred, Yet Abused' - Thank you, thank you, thanks a million. I'll bring the part 2 soon...

A lot of bloggers have written what Obama's win means to them - even 'skypers' have sent theirs. I don't disagree with anyone, but I know what it means to me. Hmm! But what does it mean to me? Before I say what it means to me, let me congratulate the black race for this outstanding and life-time victory. It'll forever remain in our memory - we are black and we're strong; able to take the most powerful seat in the world... Here's what Obama's win means to me... I was sitting in my hotel room at Atlantis Palm Jumeirah, in Dubai at about 5am Dubai time (2am Nigeria time) and I saw whites and blacks who love Obama cast their vote. I saw people giving their all (energy, time etc) to see Obama win.

I watched live, how Mitchell's gaze was fixated to the TV before her husband was declared president elect. I saw how Jesse Jackson wept when Obama was declared president elect. I saw how Mitchell looked at her husband when they all came out for Obama to give his first speech after he was declared winner...I saw it all and I thought...This is LOVE at work.



You don't agree with me? Then listen. If the black race was not so loved, then when Obama made his intention known, they'd probably have assasinated him or discouraged him. If he was not assasinated or refused to be discouraged, then he wouldn't have all the support he had; and above all if he was not loved and supported by Mitchell (his wife), he'd have failed. It was love that kept me awake all night on the day of the election to see a black man take the powerful seat (LOL). When (MKO) Abiola's real wife (Simbi), according to reports, didn't support her husbands intention, did he not fail? Even at Simbi's death, Abiola still failed - because Simbi was not in support of his intentions...What am I saying? Love make things work for you. Period. When you're loved, then you'll have a good state of mind and you'll do things right. LOVE makes you a WINNER.



Now, now, hope you agree with me a little....

Why Did I Get Married?

Image
I really enjoy seeing African-Americans movies, and this particular film is no exception. In fact, I can’t stop watching it and I can’t wait to see ‘Why Did I Get Married too’ . Really, Tyler Perry got me hooked on this one, that after seeing it several times, I was able to sift one or more things from it and I’d like to share them here. Before I share what I learnt, let me give a synopsis of the movie…There are four couples who go on an annual one week vacation – more like a reunion. During this vacation, they reconnect, talk, pray, iron out issues and so on – but this vacation opened up secrets that they’ve all bottled up. Secrets that made them ask such question as ‘Why did I Get Married?’ I’m going to be looking at the couple one after the other… Mike & Sheila (Richard T. Jones & Jill Scott) The problem with this couple is Sheila’s stature. Sheila is on the fat side but Mike just couldn’t live with that! And so he insults her at every opportunity he

...For Mama

I feel since this blog is about relationships, writing about my family, friends, colleagues, etc...and expressing my love for them wouldn't be a crime.  Here's a poem for mama, who'll be a year older tomorrow (15th, September). And this poem is dedicated to all the mamas in the world...with love. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dearest Mama, I just write to let you know What's on my mind Bringing me to the world with groans I can imagine what it's like For the seeds of love you've sown You're one of a kind For the toughest times you've known It's fresh in my mind For the times I don't listen to you You love me still And the times that I trouble you You keep loving me Oh! and the times that I fell sick You knew no sleep Or the times that I weep You weep and weep And those times that I'm lost You are on your feet Even at times of failures You believe in me Fo

Things That Irritate Me

Image
I get easily irritated at times, and funny the things that irritate me could be classed as trivial - that is, minor. The truth is, once I let them out you might view me as 'duh, why should those irritate you?' but they do anyway. It just goes to show that I'm a unique being *wink wink*. Some months back I sat in a public bus on my way home, then I heard a guy, who sat behind me, make some sound with his mouth - teeth and tongue. The kind some people make when they are trying to remove a left over food or dirt from their teeth. The bad thing is, he didn't stop once, he made the sound till he alighted from the bus. Kai, I was pissed! Still in the same bus, someone was listening to a sport commentary on his phone. He put the phone on speaker and on the highest volume, as if the rest of us were interested in the boring tale. I wonder how he forgot that earphones are made for moments such as those.... How I almost shouted at him. The odd thing was that he hissed at th
