Random Pictures
All pictures taken with my camera phone, so pls. forgive the poor quality.
Nokia, take heed!
I got this cake delivered to my office on my birthday sometime in February.
First marriage birthday.
I wanted it low key or no-existent.
But no, J had something else in mind.
She surprised me with this and loads of small chops - samosa, hot buns, fried snails, suya meat, and drinks in my office.
'She don put me for high jump'
Her birthday comes up in a couple of months.
I need to start thinking.
Driving in Lagos stumbled me upon these 2 pictures:
This one was on 3rd Mainland bridge (longest bridge in Africa). At dusk.
Open van with Lord knows how many people on it.
This was an open house MI (Mr Incredible), mini show that J and I stumbled upon at the Silverbird Galleria a few weeks ago. I don't understand why ladies love this fella.
He good though he's just a short black guy. Any MI fans out there?
I was at the NEPA (PHCN - Power Corporation) office a few weeks ago to sort out the usual power problems and I stumbled on this bulletin stapled to their notice board.
Its not too clear off course, but I have transcribed below:
NATIONAL UNION OF ELECTRICITY WORKERS
PRAYER SESSION FOR ALL MEMBERS
In view of the recent developments in our sector, the National Secretariat based on pupular demand has considered various appeals for a prayer session to seek spiritual fortification in the battle against oppressive administration.
Consequently, Friday 27th March 2009 has been declared for prayers. In this prayer, we have to ask God for the following among others:
The Struggle Continues.
JOE AJAERO
General Secretary
Emphasis mine.

And this? Generator on the car trunk powering the huge speaker on the roof. This was a roving DJ and you do not want to know the type of sound the speakers were spewing!

Ok, Tobenna this can only be in Nigeria.
No end to wonders and I am particulary referring to the Car with Generator and speaker as well as the PHCN billboard...can't even laff.
As per J, how about you whisk her away for a romantic weekend in paris. Failing that turn your house /flat to Paris and serenade her.

That prayer is just something else. Lol. And those speakers AND GENERATOR!!! (As in if you didn't have a photo I'd have said you were lying) had me cracking up.
Happy belated birthday! When was it?
For J's birthday - I don't know if she's like some women who appreciate the simple things, but a picnic at one of the most secluded places you can find, would be beautiful. No one else, no phones, no internet, just both of you, a bottle of wine, and anything else you think is important.
(Geez men, I want to get married. Feel free to share this idea with the man I marry)

Thank God for good wives who love t give their husbands treats! so nice of her!
I like Q Money's idea or you could buy her as many cards as her age and fill them with your own words, leave them around the house for her and let them lead to each other..that is always a winner! lol
Take care!
