The Case With Lagos Traffic

So I was on a bus enroute Volks to Iyana Oba and oh boy was that traffic crazy!!! And not just on one side of the road but on the two sides of the road…it was a complete no no. So anyways, looking at all the buses and cars, I suddenly wondered if it’s possible for anyone to live in Lagos for 6 months-1 year and pass through Lagos traffic every day and not have a single scratch on the body of your car. Obviously for yellow buses, the answer is no. Even the BRT buses now look like danfo buses. Personally, I don’t think it’s possible, no matter how careful a driver you are; there is always that one person who is going ask for your forgiveness.

Crazy Lagos Traffic…so guys, what do you think?

The Case With The Meeting

Oh my gosh! If you haven't seen this movie by now, you are totally missing out. I just recently watched this movie and its absolutely wonderful. The cast, the directing, everything was just so on point! That's the best I've seen Rita Dominic so far. Other cast of this amazing ensemble include Kate Henshaw, Nse Ipe Etim, Linda Ejiofor, Femi Jacobs, Jide Kosoko (we haven't seen him in a while) among others. And did i mention that this movie is comedy, so guys no dull moment.

The meeting has gotten great accolades including praise from the president himself. It also won Rita Dominic the Nollywood best actress award for 2013 and it had a host of other nominations including the African Academy Award nominations for which it won best makeup.
If you haven't seen it, you definitely need to see it. If you have, you need to see it again and own it.
And Guys, make sure you buy original! Let's fight piracy!

The Case With Internet Dating

So I read on Linda Ikeji’s blog recently about a marriage between a couple that met on Facebook. This got me thinking about internet dating… does it really work? I also have this friend, who tells me that she’s been getting date proposals on the internet. I’ve always thought internet dating is all sham and never works out. But now, I’m beginning to think there just might be something to it. I mean who’s to say when and where you find love? The point is finding it…right? I mean, at the end of the day, not all marriages proposed in the ‘appropriate’ manner actually works. At least, with internet, there’s Skype, where we can actually see the person we’re talking to. Unlike in the old days, where there were only letters.

So guys, internet dating, what do you think? 

The Case With Kids And Science

So I was surfing the net recently and I came across this really awesome science course for kids, it’s called the #kids starter: cool science course for kids. Kids need to know that there is life beyond the show biz and social media. Naturally, children have the curiosity to touch and manipulate their surroundings. It is the responsibility of their parents/guardians to nurture that curiosity in the right direction.

#Kidstarter is passionate about inspiring kids to explore through science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) at an early age. Through interactive instructor-led workshops, kids build an entire product from scratch and are introduced to DIY concepts and teamwork. Most of all, it is a fun, easy and safe environment where children feel comfortable to expose their inner geek.

The Case With DSTV

So DSTV decided to increase their subscription fee by 20% for no reason. And I say no reason because we all know ‘to serve you better’ is no reason.

So Nigerians aren’t buying the new HD decoder and money isn’t trooping in like they had envisioned.

Thanks to the two lawyers, Mr. Osasuyi Adebayo and Mr. Oluyinka Oyenui, that stood up to them.

Enough of the exploitation! How many actual foreign channels do we even watch? They are majorly South African channels including the many Mnet channels. There are only very few non South African channelss.

Just for exploitation, they decided to divide Mnet series into 5. And the more we pay, the more the Mnet stations we get to watch.

Why did I comment on BGT 2014 in 2015? Because DSTV decided to show us BGT 2014 in 2015! And now, we are just watching the amazing race season 23 that was aired last year. We are paying extra for stale shows!

The worst part is that they couldn’t even wait for people’s current subscription to actually end. They decided to cut them off.

Why?

Because we don’t have a voice?

Enough is Enough!

I’ve decided to switch and I encourage Nigerians to switch along with me.

The Case With Living

So I just got back home after all the Easter celebrations and I was not exactly excited to be back because my days at home can be very dull. I usually just sleep and read nouvels, which is a good thing but not exactly healthy, because I miss out on so many things I could be exploring and learning… So I’ve decided to live a little. Like Joel Osteen would say, I’ve decided to broaden my horizon. You know, go that extra mile to the other grocery store (baby steps), explore new places around me, walk along the other side of the road and other little steps that actually matter. Life is about choice. Either you brood about what you don’t have and feel sorry for yourself, or you take what you’ve got and use it to the fullest. We can’t have everything but at least we have some.

So try something you’ve always wanted to… no more dilly dally, no more procrastination.

Like me, take that bold step today!

The Case With Good Friday

Ok so earlier today (in the morning), I was looking through my bbm recent updates, and I noticed that a few people on my contact, updated their statuses with “Happy Good Friday”, and I was wondering why anyone would wish another a HAPPY good Friday!.. I mean today is supposed to be a memorial of Christ’s Crucifixion… you’re not supposed to be happy… what is even good about Good Friday?

So I went to church, later today, for the Good Friday celebration and the homily today was titled ‘what is good about Good Friday’ which is a question as well as a statement.

Well the priest explained that today is a celebration of love. Today, Christ paid for our sins in full. There’s no stronger way to show your love for someone than to lay down your life for that person. And Christ did that for us and because of that, we have free access to God and we dare to call him Father.

So my friends, that is why today is good. And can I just say my favourite part in the good Friday celebration is the Venite Adoremus part… you know the part where the cross is slowly unveiled.
Good Friday!!!

The Case With Justin Bieber

So I was watching E news last night and it turns out Justin Bieber made an announcement to turn a new leaf which is now trending. I watched clips of the video message as well as interview clips on ellen show and he seems to be serious about it. It was also reported that he is now surrounding himself with responsible people. He recently turned 21 (legal age for drinking) and he’s looking really matured with his new look and he’s mode of talking (and can I just say that I love his new hair cut!). As usual, some people think it’s just another publicity stunt.

Justin’s Rap sheet ranges from egging a house to driving under the influence and resisting arrest.

Bieber’s first run in with the law was in 2012, when he was accused of reckless driving, but there was no arrest.

In March 2013, a neighbor confronted the pop icon about speeding down the streets in his Ferrari. Bieber allegedly spit in the neighbor’s face in retaliation (why would a normal human want to do that anyway? Doesn’t make sense to me!). Anyway he was exonerated of any criminal wrongdoing in October.

In June 2013, a paparazzo sued Bieber for assaulting him at a mall in Calabasas, Calif.

In November 2013, he was also caught leaving a brothel in Brazil according to the New York Post (a 19yr old paying for sex?!!).

However his real rap sheet began in January 2014, when Miami police arrested him for alleged drag racing and police said he told them he had been drinking, smoking marijuana and taking prescription drugs (like it’s an achievement…. #rolling my eyes).

With all these sins and more I didn’t bother to mention, (not enough space… for Justin I mean :D) Justin wants us to forgive him….Well his fans (wouldn’t consider myself a fan but I can say that I enjoy his music, even when I really don’t want to).

Well here’s a message to Justin: We do forgive you. We also hope that you now have a deflated ego and won’t go back to your childish delinquencies. 

Hopefully other child stars gone wrong like you (Miley Cyrus, Chris Brown and so on) also follow in your footsteps.

The Case With Drinking Water

Ok so my initial title for this post was ‘The Case With Staying Hydrated’ but I decided not to make it fancy because this is serious business! A lot of people do not know the need to staying hydrated nor the benefits of drinking water. People need to live healthy!

Why is staying hydrated so important?

Our bodies need water for proper functioning of the cells, tissues and organs.

Drinking water helps to maintain the balance of body fluids. Did you know that more than half of your body is composed of water? All this water helps with critical functions like maintaining body temperature, cushioning and protecting organs and aiding digestion. The body constantly loses water every day through sweat, urine and even when we breathe and not drinking water can interfere with the body’s necessary function.

Staying hydrated helps to remove toxic waste which is harmful to the body if allowed to remain in the body, as well as lubricate the joints.

Drinking water boots brain power. According to a new study published in the Journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, drinking water when you feel thirsty can help you think and act. So the next time you feel like you are reacting a bit slow to your friends’ jokes, try drinking some water!

Drinking water also helps with appetite control and gut health. Sometimes, thirst can be confused with hunger. Adequate intake of water regulates bowel movement whereas inadequate intake of water leads to constipation.

Staying hydrated also lowers the risk of heart attacks. A worsening of coronary disease can lead to a heart attack. One study in the American Journal of Epidemiology showed that drinking more water is associated with a decrease in the risk of coronary heart disease while drinking liquids other than water actually increased the chances of the disease.

Drinking water also helps to improve mood as well as lose weight. Lack of sleep isn’t the only cause of headaches, irritability and fatigue. Studies suggest that increasing your daily amount of water intake can reduce the intensity and duration of headaches.

It is recommended that we should take 6-8 (8-ounce) glasses of water each day.

Symptoms of dehydration include little or no urine, dark urine, confusion, headache, dry mouth and fatigue. People at higher risk of dehydration are people that exercise at high intensity, have certain medical conditions such as diarrhea.

If you are concerned that you are not drinking enough water, check your urine. If your urine is consistently colorless or light yellow, you are most likely staying hydrated. Dark yellow or amber coloured urine is a sign of dehydration.

And always remember guys, water is the best option for staying hydrated. It has no real substitute!

The Case With BGT 2014

It was sad to see the Light Balance crew leave in the semifinal in 2014’s British’s Got Talent, especially because they were not from Britain. It was sad because, I personally think that they were the best talent on the show for that season. I mean, if you do not want people from other countries to win, why make them eligible to apply? There is something called terms and conditions, you know. And the criticism on the last winners Attraction Shadow is just plain bizarre! They were obviously the best talent in that season.

There are so many platforms for singing competitions but not that many platforms for this kind of talent. It’s really sad. The world isn’t made up of only singers you know.

 Hopefully, this wouldn’t repeat itself again!

The Case With The New Etisalat Advert

Ok so I don’t really know if the ad is actually new, but I watched it recently and I couldn’t stop laughing! Literally! If you haven’t seen it, omg! You need to see it! Absolutely hilarious! I couldn’t find the ad anywhere online but as soon as I do, I’ll provide the link. It’s about a guy who gets a call in the night on his wife’s mobile phone and the man on the other end asks for where he could get recharge card! Can’t even remember what the ad was about because I was laughing the whole time! Plus I’ve seen it just once.

The Case With Keeping Fit

So I recently started jogging.

When I say jogging, I mean jogging around the parlour for 15 minutes… baby steps.

I’m tryna keep fit.

I mean does it really matter I jog outside? As long as it’s jogging…right?

Oh and I time myself by the way…that shows some atom of seriousness.

You see, I’m trying to lose this belly fat. Used to do sit ups but I noticed, I was pushing the fat to my under belly.

Anyways, I’m not just jogging to get rid of the belly fat…I’m also tryna keep fit.

 Yeah, I’m one of those people that get motivated to exercise once in a very long while. And that is a definition of an exercise lazy bum!

But this time, I want to take it seriously…so I’m going to remind you guys (especially exercise lazy bums like me) and myself, why REGULAR exercise is good for the body.

·         Exercise helps combat diseases such as heart disease as well as high blood pressure. It also improves cholesterol (HDL).

·         Exercise improves mood. Physical activities stimulates various brain chemicals that may leave you feeling happier and relaxed…it helps you blow off steam (like boxing :D).

·         It also helps to boost the immune system, which helps fight against diseases.

·         Regular exercise boosts energy. Exercise and physical activity deliver oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and helps cardiovascular system work more efficiently.

·         Exercise helps fight insomnia and promote better sleep…just don’t exercise too close to bed time!

·         It improves sex life. Regular physical activity can lead to enhanced arousal for women. Also, men who exercise regularly are less likely to have problems with erectile dysfunction than men who don’t exercise.

·         Regular exercise helps to lose weight and keep fit.

 I recommend jogging! 

Jogging is an all-round exercise. It affects all parts of the body. For more info on why you should jog, click on the link  http://yourdailyworkout.com/cardio-workout/7-benefits-of-jogging-that-you-didnt-know/

I watched an episode of BGT (British’s got talent), recently, and a chubby lady was pole dancing and she was good at it!

So you see, exercise isn’t just for fat/chubby people, skinny people need to exercise as well...no more excuses!

I hope that I have been able to motivate atleast one person today! 

The Case With Ignorance

So I called a friend of mine a nerd recently…

Nerd according to Google: a foolish or contemptible person who lacks social skills or is boringly studious.

You see, the thing is, I wasn't trying to insult my friend. I was only trying to call him a word for ‘a bookworm that uses glasses and like computers and stuff and has zero time for a social life’. 

The problem is, I watch of a lot of movies, TV shows, cartoons and people use ‘nerd’ all the time…it didn't sound like an insult to me. I just always thought it had the same meaning as studious…without the boring part. I just never bothered to look the word up in a dictionary or even if I did, memorize it!

I remember one I time I was going through my Facebook news feed, there was a picture of a friend of mine in this ‘dorky’ glasses and his caption on his own picture was ‘nerd’. Now I’m thinking… does this guy know that he was actually insulting himself?!

Often times, We go through life, not knowing about a lot of this and other times, not even caring that we don’t know those things either and in the process, hurting the people we care about both emotionally and physically.  

How many stuffs have we done out of ignorance, we wish we could take back?

So guys, the next time you use a word, or make a comment, double check the meaning first! And not make comments on something you’re not sure you really know!

 Be informed!

The Case With The Elections II

Its the Clash of the Titans! Transformation or Change, you decide!

The Case With The Elections

This is a picture of Chekwas Okorie. I bet you don’t even know who he is. Well let me establish or refresh your memory. He is the Nigerian presidential candidate for UPP party. I’m thinking you didn’t even know there was a party called UPP… I didn’t either until I watched the presidential debate last Sunday!

So tomorrow is the presidential elections. I’ve been half expecting INEC to postpone the elections again! But I guess this election thing is really on tomorrow. I’m not voting for two reasons

1.       You can only vote where you registered and

2.       If I were voting, I’d vote for neither PDP nor APC, so my vote wouldn’t count anyway.

So the election is really between PDP and APC. You see, the problem the current president has is that, most of the things he worked on are things we cannot perceive. Nigerians only acknowledge the things that can be seen… we are so superficial! If electricity was for instance the only and when I say only, I mean only thing the current government was able to tackle, He’d have the vote of all Nigerians. However, he didn’t give us electricity and APC on the other hand is promising us the world! Really? You’re going to give us electricity really? Cheap kerosene really? Tackle Boko Haram really? And how exactly are you going to do all of those? The absence of your presidential candidate in last Sunday’s debate was very conspicuous. Debate is democracy and you are not making things any easier for yourself, especially with your military background and I have a problem with all of these old ex-military men coming back to pose as Civilians. We should be moving forward!

The problem with Nigeria is that it should never have been amalgamated!

In any case, Vote Wisely!

The Case With Will Smith

So I recently watched the movie focus… the one that the cast includes Will Smith among others. On a scale of 1-10, I’ll rate the movie 6 because well for starters, I like Will Smith better when it’s not obvious he’s acting! What happened to funny man Will? I thought we had lost him forever… not until I watched his interview on the Graham Norton’s Show and I saw he’s still the same good ol’ funny man big Willy! So now, over to the directors! The movie is supposed to be a comedy… right? So why is Will’s face so serious even in the comedy parts of the movie? And I’m not talking serious funny either. Checking IMDB now and I see the movie is rated 6.8, so you see guys, I’m not far off and I also see here the directors were Glenn Ficarra and John Requa. Well Glenn and John, you guys need to refurbish your directing skills. I mean this movie could have easily been a 9! So please take note! And you too Will. That’s why we choose Steve Carell any day… he’s a funny man and he doesn't apologise for it!

A message to Will Smith: We like you better funny!

The Case With The Broken Glass

There is something about broken pieces that makes you think about life. You know, when you’re in a hurry and time seems to be running out, and then you try to lift something, maybe a bag, a shoe, a purse, and that glass flower vase breaks, or when you’re in a hurry and you are trying to prepare something really fast and you lift a tray or a plate and the other plate falls to the ground and shatters. You try to stop it, but you miss by just a fraction of a second. At that moment it feels like the worst had just happened because first of all, it’s going to delay you even more, you’ll have to clean up and then go back to what you were doing before it broke. The feeling of the shattering, especially if the stuff that broke is expensive or cherished. The process of the shattering, which usually happens within a blink of an eye and of course the aftermath. For a split moment, you just stand, and look at the mess you’ve made, not just with the glass but also with yourself and your life and they you realize that some things are just beyond your control. But there is also that soothing relief you get afterwards. You realize, the force with which you were in a hurry before has somehow dissipated. This relief I think you also get when something really annoying happens, like a husband cheating on a wife and the wife finds out and rushes home to smash fine Chinas on the wall…I think it’s the same relief but like alcohol, that relief is but for a moment and you still have to face the heap of broken Chinas. Then comes the regret part, when you get back from work (maybe that’s where you were rushing off to in the first place), your eyes darts off to that empty space where the flower vase should have been and still wish your purse hadn’t been close to the flower vase. Then you try to remember how you got the flower vase in the first place. Well people, you can do either of two things, continue to stare at the empty place where the flower vase should have been or go out to the store and get yourself a new flower vase… your choice!... and yes a broke something today.

The Case With Birdman

I decided that my 1^st doe rants post should be about Birdman! I know its old gist but I can’t get over the over-hype, the number of academy awards the movie was nominated for and the number of awards it actually won. That is the most outrageous thing the Oscars has ever done since the history of the academy awards! And I see the genre Comedy?! Really Comedy?! I wondered who actually laughed in any part of the movie for how extremely funny it was! I recently watched this ellen show where she interviewed Michael Keaton and honestly, you could see the look on her face when she said she and Portia enjoyed the movie! And…best picture? Really? Honestly I’m lost for words there… I would have known the Oscars had totally lost its mind if Michael Keaton had won best actor. The only people I could give props for were Emma Stone and Robert Norton… I think they played the roles they were given quite well particularly Robert Norton…he was really annoying in the movie and I think he was meant to be…

Hopefully, this error wouldn’t be repeated in the future! Organizers of the Oscars here’s a message for you… Nobody actually enjoyed Birdman… I literally slept and woke up while the movie was on! No more Birdmans please!
