Sent From My BlackBerry: Only in Naija… And When A Star Dies…
One word for why Sent From My BlackBerry didn’t drop yesterday: ENEMIES. If you saw any tall man in a wrapper, rainboots and chewing stick in his mouth, at any Nigerian ISP’s office, yesterday screaming his lungs out about being billed not connected to the internet – That wasn’t me 😐
As I type this, I heave a huge sigh with tears in my eyes (And it’s not from writing Bleeding Tears). But because I’ve been through the hell that is “Everywhere You don’t want to Go” internet. If you are out there anywhere in the world and you can download a 4 minute song in 5 minutes or less, Please look to the sky and thank the Divine.
MOVING ON! >>
Last month was a fantastic one! I mean, a Nigerian Housemate won Big Brother (again) 😐
Congrats Karen!
So July was happy for the most part until towards the end when we lost Amy Winehouse. WAIT, you don’t know Amy Winehouse? Take a very short moment to click —> here and inform yourself. Now I’ll be very candid and say that I never heard/listened to any of her songs asides the ubiquitous Rehab (They want to make me go to Rehab/But I said No no no. Yeah that one). Regardless, may her soul rest in peace. Did you see how I came clean and I said I didn’t know her know her? Very good. Some people apparently didn’t get the memo. Here’s why I said that:
And the clincher of them all 🙁
I saw this picture last month :(:
Can you see the look of utter concentration on his face? Now this picture for me says MANY different things! I mean, how do you get to the point on the road when a question like this requires a measure of thought? HOW? Well sha, I can tell you for a fact that this guy went to this High School:
And this is where he has his lunch:
You imagine him eating Meat Piles and Roseted Meats, then washing it down with Ice Block. (-___-). You can’t argue it with me oh! And this was him as a baby….
Why else would he come full circle to Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
On to very serious issues. We hear that our dear President wants his tenure extended. What happened to the Electricity Reforms??? Like he should get it up, like yesterday! Our babies are taking it very P(ersonal)
What about the “Youths” without jobs?????
Nollywood Clipping of the Month
*No Words*
Music
We have it on good authority that Don Jazzy produced Lift Off on Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch The Throne album. So the day when this will happen is not so far off 😀
The Song of the Month would have been BRUNO MARS FEAT. WIZKID – SHEKPE STORE BLUES.
But Mr. Mars’ record label could not give Bella Naija permission to use such exclusive content till the song is released. However, I leave you with Speed Darlington. This is not a joke oh. IT IS REAL!
Special Thanks
Oh! This is special thanks to everyone of my friends and BlackBerry contacts that had me laughing through the month with Picture entries for Sent From My Blackberry. Sore, Folake Oyediran, Semirah Dosunmu, Seyi M.et.al and Laji D’wayem for letting me use his WESTern Connection artwork (You can view his blog here)
