To many questions - little or no answers...
We're once again (it appears that this is some kind of favoured past time) thrown into mourning - another plane crash on another saturday... meaningless loss of life and limb and to what end or purpose?
How many students died, how many parents will spend the end of the year in mourning?
Why & what's happening to the record of aviation safety?
A weekend that's spent - for most crying amist tears...
I was recently accousted by area boys - the bane of Lagos, who relieved me of a substantial amount of money on a saturday (another black saturday) - I was lucky that they didn't rob me of my new handset I bought to replace the one that was lost between Ojuelegba and Yaba (notorious area)
i was molested & beaten (to a minor state of incapacitation). when I finally made it home it was 12:00 am of a still dark sunday morning...
Summary:
Lagos's a paradise and a hell - depends on your point of view... I find myself stuck in some kind of rut, concerning how to percieve Lagos and its environs...
i was born here and spent my formative years here but I sometimes wonder...
It's a gateway to adventure of every kind - if you catch my drift... but it is home...

Thoughts about the issues of living, thinking, eating, breathing and other unmentionable acts as "Chinedu"; a mortal hunk of flesh. I have a fascination for words - I think words have an ability, a power of their own to take on life and provide meaning, to cause action, change or destruction... On my beach - things are varied but there are always lessons to be learned and you can never really tell how far the rabbit hole goes. A soap opera of thoughts expressed as words...

a day of frustration, sweat and just generally wondering...
As I pound my fingers over the keyboard, the things that stay on my mind the most is how both easy and hard it is to make money.
You can taste it and almost touch it but it somewhat eludes you like the girl of your dreams... Just within reach but impossible to actually touch - or so we would believe...
If it doesn't kill me then it makes m stronger and that's my guiding principle... life's too short to waste on wishes.
We're forced to reevelaute our intitial roll out - from today to end of the weekend...
I'm hopeful that my high blood pressure will finally come down - plummeting like a shooting star..
Chude's the star of this venture - me, I'm here for the ride; if it doesn't kill me that is... Some days, I wake up feeling that I can acheiev the impossible - other days...
Well just needed to get some thots off my mind... that done, o to other matters...
shalom!

A weekend of ...
I'm more or less - working today...
I've been covered with dust, sweat and some other stuff I wouldn't dare mention - just incase my readers got sick with disgust or worse...
i went to ikeja - heart land of all that is, are computers and their related assesories... the sun did a jig on me and drained me literally - i also took the oppurtunity to make a replacement purchase for my lost or stolen fone
(RIP aka Obituary: A Nokia 3310 - faithful friend and companion for two years and some Month(s) - rest in...) - (Please, a moment of silence...)
I'm trying to setup a cybercafe somewhere in ebute metta (lagos) (LSDPC ESTATE, to be precise - which is to be managed and run by me until such a time as our primary area of business commences) and the process is full of curse words, blind swearing and a host of other descriptives that would make my mother blush with shame...
The process has its trying moments - such as when you expect your ISP (that for YOU(yes you), the uninitiated stands for Internet Service provider) to provide unINTERRUPTED service but alas - if wishes where horses in Nigeria - the beggers would never return them! Or NEPA(sorry, that was a slip of brain power) Power Holding Company of Nigeria (the irony of a name - same old wine in a new container), which has yielded the more or is it most frustration...
Finally, the icing on the cake - money or rather issues of money!
My job description: Manager but at the end of the day - the smell of sweat, grime and dust leave me feeling definitely lower... But I'm enjoying every God filled moment of heartbreak, heartache and ehm... let me see now...
We hope to commence activities by next week so here goes for all you fun loving folks...
Come one and definitely come all...
Just needed to share my thots - later dudes!
