Lagos is my new home apparently...

To keep away from a theraputic meduim like www. blogger.com felt like I had forgotten to take my heart medication... I really missed the chance to write the most recent happenings, which incidentally has pilled up into a two week absence...
I left abuja at the end of my contract. An offer was made by another organisation but I declined out of a sense of moral duty (who am I fooling?)

Current Appraisal:

I'm in lagos - new environment, new circumstances... New job, new oppurtunities...
I'm still trying to make adjustments... I've left three years of Abuja behind and I'm wondering where this new boat ride will take me... my friend must be wondering what sort of person I am - I've made no attempt to call anyone who I left in abuja and It makes me wonder about myself...

I'm in a new business partnership - we are to launch a web portal and a host of other services by next year. I'm commited but I would like to be thoroughly obssessed by it. I would want it to take over my waking and sleeping moments - consume me from inside out until it is virtually all I can think about and it (my vision) becomes a success.

I'm reading a book by Napoleon hill, the title: Think & Grow Rich!
Very ambitious but very practical and laudable... We actually need books with such thinking - for a book published in the 1960's it must have created quite a stir.
It appears hard at first to fathom the books logic but slowly your thinking and perceptions begin to gradually change... afterall, as human beings - we're shaped by our environment, society and the things which we interact with constantly and consistently....

We're still in th beginning stages but my vision for where we will to be very soon - just glazes the mind, mine at least.

I'm looking for partners who share the need to empower themselves economically - are you interested?

By the way, november ends today - 2005 almost out of the window...

What next?

The twilight zone - blurry and unclear...

I survived a week that had me sick with wait for this one: Stress! I never envisioned that the doctor would end up giving me that kind of prognosis - a young, vibrant and enterprising man - (Enough with the self-praise already...)
I ended up the week getting an offer to work in one of those companies that I would have salivated over a couple of years back but on a temporary basis and the pay was somewhat non inspiring but I would have gone for it if not for my commitment with CHUDE! (The conscience is a pain in the butt, but on a lighter note where would one be without it....)

I had a headache that was worry some - it started ordinarily and progressed into a kind of cranial pounding the likes of which I have never quite witnessed before, combined with my cold and later cough - I was worried that I had come down with the FLU...
The Left frontal lobe of my brain was doing a gentle dance that got progressively worse - then it goes to some point in my neck and back again like some yo-yo plus my near lack of sleep...
I was truly worried until the kind doctor questioned my work habits and made some healthy comments that I was expected to take full hilt - no questions asked...

I have been ordered to rest and I'm trying to do just that - three injections later, my ass feels kind of normal and I'm nursing my self back to full strength...

I'm also relocating (temporary in my mind of course) to Lagos - my friend, who happens to be the comntrolling partner of a company he wants me to manage on his behalf because of his job, sounded pissed with me on the fone and I do not truly and honestly blame the poor fellow...

I feel odd in a business relationship where I have no financial might to contribute and in Nigeria the business climate respects those who have a financially contributed something... Hence the reason for dragging my feet - maybe I feel that I lack the ability to manage someone's business - (No Guts, No Glory!)

Back in town - what's the status of my Game?

I just got in from the east - my brain is dizzy with the need to rest (better term is: fall asleep). I left on wednesday the 2nd of november - made enugu where I dropped off a message and then chanced a drop in at our family house at Ogui Road - my uncle reggie's around and I wanted to see him...

I didn't get that chance because he had gone out for his happy fun hour - Enugu's like a home to him - I spent maybe an hour or more then made for the bus park - destination Awka.

My Girlfriend's birthday was incidentally on the same 2nd of november so the trip was really all about her - a suprise that I gave away on my way to the east... I made awka finally by past seven in the evening and went about doing all those things that people acting -in-love (did I just use that word?) do...

I want to believe that the excitement was somewhat too much for me beacuse by the next day - I was feeling the strains of my wanderings very keenly - I had been having signs of FLU and by thursday, I felt totally wrecked...

Anyway, I go to Enugu on friday morning and hang out with my uncle and some of my cousins who showed up as an added bonus... So the trip in the long run was really worth it!

I'm back to tidy up and get the hell out of Abuja before tuesday...
Just wanted to check in and relate...
Nigerians are finally moving on with their lives after the double tragedy - the insurance companies are paying the families of the passengers who where onboard the ill fated flight $10,000 each (x 117 passengers) - quite a lumpy sum of money... Probably cause some in fighting within the families as to who has rights to the cash...
