Just Norah......

Hello World!!!

I'm here with another Piece. (which is my second piece on this blog.. the unknown is the first check it out)

This Piece is a true story and not a fiction. 

It was written by a close friend of mine,

I have not edited this piece this is how "He" wrote it

and how I'm posing it. It is pure as the "extra virgin oil" you see any where(LoL)

I hope you enjoy reading it and the song.

We hope to receive feedback form every reader, it would be appreciated, and to know

 everyone's views and opinions and if they have ever been in a situation like this.

There's this girl

Her name's Norah

I'm sort of interested in her

I got her contact details

So I could text her..

We started talking', got a bit closer yet further...

She's bi sexual, she's got a partner..

Yet she finds me attractive, She opposes it..

She's so good at making me seem non-existent..

I try to imitate her, but I can't endure it

Not sure how I'm feeling'

I gotta put up with this girl for an academic year

I met her partner, we had a conversation...

She's with a girl and not with me…

I've been single for too long…

I don't have to search so far, Norah's around, but it's complicated...

At 21, I can't account for a decent girl in my life... Yet.

Why am I such a sucker for girls?

My lady friend said I'm only being "human".

I've got exams to worry about, but Norah's occupied my mind

Apparently she's good without me.. But is it all true?

Sought for advice, and I was told to "back off" since she ain't single... I should, but I don't want to... "Why not have us both?" I thought to myself...

I wish I never met her... I'd be better off if I hadn't...

I hate that I fall for her type... I want her in my life...

Because my love's being' faded...

Tick tock time's going' by too..

If I can't do it now, I'd be lucky to do it tomorrow...

Hope you enjoyed reading this 

:)

Positivity about Nigeria

When every body hears about Nigeria all that pops into every ones head including mine is the negativity.
We do not take out the time to think about positives things about it
which is sad. Nigeria is full with culture, fashion , cuisine , and so many more its just the bad government and people from less privilege back ground trying to survive (by doing the unthinkable) give it a bad reputation.
Nigeria is our fathers land and i still love it there. I must admit that there are times you hate it, and one is not proud to represent but U ARE WHO U ARE AND WHERE U COME FROM!!!! Embrace it <3
Here a video of Nigeria back in the days very beautiful and with Fela Kuti playing and the past imageries
this makes me proud makes me remember things that i ate and enjoyed :)
And Nigeria has and always will have its own edge.....we are not quitters :D

 For more info about that years Miss Nigeria go onto Linda Ikeji's blog(link below)
so sad to see a woman of beauty in such a state http://lindaikeji.blogspot.com/2011/12/miss-nigeria-1958-helen-anyamelune.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+blogspot%2FOqshX+%28Welcome+to+Linda+Ikeji%27s+Blog%29

FYI!!!
"The government should get a major life and fix up our country and stop stealing from the country and stop focusing on the gay people and live them alone(They are not God)...BIZZY BODIES.....MSCHEWWWWWWWW.......

So yes i made a kiwi pie in the early hours of this morning, I also made some changes to this version in the first version i didn't put sugar in the cream but i did in this one to make the cream have some taste to it, it made a huge amount of difference it was yumm i was licking the spoon all tru... x_x(i changed the spoon too each time :D... hygiene matters)
Reli simple to make and to add on some extra calories so.....ermmmm yea (exercise necessary to burn the calories off but its worth it.lol)

which is layered on the biscuit

* A can of condensed milk
* A  a tray of kiwi (the one u get in the supermarket or fruit market)
* Butter (one stick 125g melted)
* 2 cups of elmlea double cream

*process sugar
*melt butter
*add almost the whole pack of biscuit leaving behind some and melted butter

The Back Bone....

A year has been added to the very strong back bone of my family.
My mother the woman who natured me from the day I was conceived and till this day and still is going strong.
She is one in a million, the one I wouldn't trade for money (okay may be when she is being nice..lol joking.)


She has always put me and my siblings in the right direction weather or not we like it, she brought me to Christ and I will never go back(if go back sef the slap that awaits me I cant even contemplate it....hehe).


I will always compare her to a lioness who protects her cub's, because that what she has always done and I am  part of her cub and I'm proud to call her my Sweet Sweet Fierce Mother.
                 Iya Mi, Mama Olayemi and others (LOL)
                       Yours truly Ola of the "Ola" Blog
                                              :)
*My adapted Oriki, which i made for my Mum*

So glad to have you in my life (rather I'm glad to have you in my life)
I hope to be half as great as you ...

Some body call me name!!!!

Omigoshhh!!!!!! do you guys remember "Daddy Showkey"?

Well today our paths crossed again after many years one of his songs popped into my head
 and i couldn't remember the artist and I asked my sis and she said "Daddyy Showkey" at first it didn't make a big difference, in the sense that it was only one song I was searching for(still cant find the song may be its nOt by "DS" after all )  and then i came across guess...
Yes YOur right
"Somebody Calling My Name Showkey" i mean to me i this Man was one of the big artists b4 the likes of 2baba(African Queen) even tho the started getting know at almos the same time
because the song was so catchy i would reckon every one would know it
and I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<3

And an extra addition the 2nd song i was looking for was "Danfo Driver" by Mad Melons
But reli "Mad Melons"...................(I also had to goggle to find the artist for danfo driver)
