Just JUNE or is it my imagination...

Check - the half way mark of the year is here - the merry month of june!
Imagine my suprise and utter "delight!".
I will be 28 in a month's time and by God - i wonder what present the fates have in store...

My very good pal cum brother (no pun intended), Mr Daniel eze (yeap - the guy who got married last year) is now in lagos working...
It makes me happy and at the same time - it leaves me in a pool of cold sweat!

My parents are driving me up the edge slowly and I really hate my utter state of passivity in the whole issue... After all in Nigeria, if at at your age you still live in your parent's house - you should take anything that they dish at you (including the kitchen sink!)

In other news,

Nwanneka has finally gotten a job with IBTC chartered and she's beyond estatic... She can't wait to get out every morning. She's in marketing and that kinda makes me worried but if she's happy and can take the pressure - what can an unemployed billionaire like me do?

(that last line was from my mentor, who suggests that i replace words that connote a negative vibe with positive prophecies....)

The latest addition to the Koggu family is due for dedication on sunday and like a grudging uncle - I must support the family to the bitter end (who said anything about taste?)

Apart from that - things are damn swell - as shrek put it (couldn't be better!)

Later*&@

Am I my father's son?

Is this one of the most worrisome issues of family relationships...
How do fathers and sons relate on the issue of dominance? Especially as issues in life compound an already complex relationship.

Am i less of a man simply because i still live with my family and don't have a source of livelyhood?
If the answer bothers you as much as it bothers me then welcome to the:
I hate my life club of young men with itch feet and a need to earn cash...
Dreams of more money than the central bank

I guess that's why alot of young folks have that "I want my independence from the family" mentality...
There are times when I could swear that i dislike my folks... even worse than i hate myself...

All the hate and bile is finally getting to me ...
But i guess the saying: that's life comes to mind as easily - what else can someone say at this juncture of his life...

I feel extremely revenge oriented and by God, I will get my pound of flesh - in this life time or the next...

On to other matters before the bile I feel eats me alive...

Today is nigeria's democracy day... What ever context you decide to take this information is really your problem... For me its no different from any other day in the life of a man looking for a way to create a means of sustainance...

As I love to quote - life's a "beach"... (fish, water, sand and coconuts)

Later dudes...

Life's a perspective shared by everyone

As if you don't know...
The game plan for the average young person revolves around money - making it and of course, spending it... It is a generally accepted and widely held opinion that spending is so much easier than earning...

I went to one of those places that have the brand of shopping mall found abroad, located somewhere in Lekki - (the Palms, Game, Shoprite) and by God, it was one of those moments in your life when you realise that it doesn't pay you to be poor - whether in spirit or physically!

It was one of those places that makes Nigerians behave like polite society - I thought I was in LaLa land! A guy who was shopping bumped into us and was all apologies - that alone threw me for a loop and a curve!

Then, talk of the choice of Goods on display... My guy, the sight went to show me that Nigerians sabi good thing - na say crayfish don bend...

Anyway - I feel positive that if we find more people with the courage to invest in things like that - this country will most definitely be moving forward!

On a lighter note: it will get better!
