Wande Coal- Spring Break-Health Care
Its been a while since I last posted. Like a little over 2 weeks. I feel sort of strange, kinda like a student who has been absent from school for a while and has to catch up with the work they've missed. I've really missed blogsville sha.
anyway the wande coal concert was real good. I wasnt in any of the pics on linda ikeji's blog but I was in some pics on other websites, I think.
The venue: the place where they held the concert was in a warehouse looking place, just broke down and crazy looking ( to me at least) they call this "club" cpac ( lmao). The tickets were $40, and if ur a real big spender it was $60 PLUS $650 or $1,200 or $1,500 ( guess which one I paid for lol, im a college student o!) for these so called VIP tables with moet and nuevo. There were no seats for everyone who paided the regular fee, as in you were either standing around, taking pictures, in the restroom or doing a two-step. The place was PACKED.
The performances: They were just o.k. lots of jumping around talkin about "swagga swagga" y'know the whole spiel. There was a girl who sang, and she was really good, but everybody else was just ok . One girl even yelled out " abeg commot for stage, I didn't pay to come an see nonentities, commot for stage! idjiots!" she was MAD LOUD, but she spoke for the masses, forreal.
The Guys: were typical dudes...grind on anything with a skirt/dress and or heels.I dont why, but almost every guy was dressed like one of those 'cool' geeks, I guess thats what you would call it. Some kinda Kanye west/kid cudi thing going on...so annoying and also complete with mohawks and bowties.
The Girls: hmmmm....this wan is tough oh. Ok so let me put it like this: overexposure,overexposure,overexposure. To the max. Lots of shakara as well. Some girls really looked classy though complete with nice makeup and hair. Then there were girls at the opposite end of the spectrum. Bad weaves, makeup, everything.
At one point the Dj/host asked if everyone was having a good time, with which no one responded, lmao.
But when Wande Coal came out the place when WILD. One thing for sure is wande got BIG/fat.Like wow, talk about too much good food, can't blame the guy. E don grow, e no only grow omo e don blow, e no only blow omo e get dough. Theres too mush money in his agbada lol. Dbanj then came out ( his fashion sense, na wa o! i think almost everyone on stage at this point in time needed a stylist) and this dude started doing like some kind of kung fu, karate thing, his leg up and his hands doing some sort of twisting motion, my sister and my cousin looked at each other and nearly fell over with laughter. I felt bad for Wande,because once Dbanj came out, all the attention shifted to him, and Wande is the one with the real talent. When they played 'you bad' theres a part in the song where he says 'see dis lepa lepa too bad oh', they pointed at dbanj,and when the part that says ' orobo too bad oh' Dbanj points at Wande and Wande points to another fat guy on the stage. LMAO. Good times sha.
After the concert, you know naija ppl now, cops were outside to make sure everyone left, but Nigerians? hmmm everyone was playing one song or another in their cars while passing out invites to the timaya/bracket concert in April....it was raining and cold and the taxi ppl werent picking up...I guess my sister caught one guys eye because he said " i like the lady in the blue, do you need a ride?" this dude was drunk as all hell, just talking nonsense. We were freezing so we accepted. It took like 20mins or more just to get in the car because these guys had girl friends who they were suppose to give rides to. They kicked the girls out because of theirbad attitudes and we got in. Dude goes " you girls are very attractive, then goes on to say " the one in the middle ( my cousin) is beautiful, the one on the left and right (me and my friend) are jast gals"....lmho, thats all I could do o!! that was insult number 1. insult number 2 was directed at my friend " see dis imo girl, u don see as e dey bleach?" ( idk how he could tell she was from imo state) hmmm that whole car turned into a mild version of WW II. My sister was riding in another car with the cutest guy in the bunch ( who she later found out was from Edo state, i trust that girl,..she eventually got his number) the drunk guy eventually forgot about 'the lady in blue' and proceeded to get my cousins' number)
We got in at like 5:30 maybe 6, I quickly got ready and boarded a flight to Florida.( made me feel like a celebrity LOL) Spring break wasnt all that exciting ( the weather was quite cold)but I got to seem some friends and I even met Gloria Estefan @ the mcdonalds in Walmart!
The healthcare bill just passed. It could change things, but lets see how it goes
. Healthcare in America still sucks either way. But Obama did something that not many though he could do, so kudos to him.
That week, I had the most fun Ive ever had in months...maybe years. Up next: Timaya/Brackett....
Now that I'm turning 20 heres my list of 20 things I will start doing once I hit the big 2-0
1. Cleanse. I bought a book called the '3-day cleanse' it taught me a lot about how bad the American diet is ( mostly meat/dairy) and how the water bottles used in bottled waters have traces of harmful elements in it ( from the plastic) cleansing really helps with clearing the skin and helping people sleep better and getting rid of most ailments.
2. Pray more, I was brought up a christian and I'm losing touch with my faith
3. Get angry less
4. Go out more, not neccesarily to parties but just out more to different places that I've never been to
5. Travel more. This summer I've got lots of trips planned, hopefully I reach each destination
6. Study more. Nuff said
7.excersize
8.eat less junk
9.Scream less
10. Act a bit more mature
11.Do my own thing more often
12. go on a road trip
13.plan a family reunion...hahaha am i mad?
14.dont open up any more 'accounts'
15.accept things about my self I cant change: physical features
16.inspire and encourage others
17.look for an internship
18.explore a new city
19.keep my self 'up'
20.enjoy the rest of my 20's then make another list when im 30.
Have a wonderful week!

JOS* My 50th post*
Monday, March 8, 2010
coming to an end?
In Matthew 24:7, Jesus said, “There shall be famines, and pestilences [strange diseases], and earthquakes in diverse places.” Do we see famines today? Experts know that for many, chronic hunger is an ever present part of life and that 10,000 people a day, or more than 3.5 million people per year die of starvation. Do we see pestilences today, strange diseases running rampant? Some diseases are becoming resistant to antibiotics. And new diseases appear for which science has no cure, AIDS, Mad Cow disease, the Ebola virus. Do we see earth quakes today? Seismograph stations record 12,000 to 14,000 earthquakes per year or about 35 per day. Many earthquakes of disastrous magnitude peppered the century just closed. There’s a whole lot of shaking going on!-
4. SIGNS in the world of SOCIETY:
No signs are more obvious than those in the social world. Jesus plainly predicted in Matthew 24:37: “As the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark.” In Noah’s day, God’s standards were no longer accepted. And how is society’s moral fabric today? Living together outside of marriage is commonplace. Out-of-wedlock babies account for 30.1% of all births in America. The divorce rate quadrupled, from 4.3 million in 1970 to 18.3 million in 1996.
5.SIGNS of out of control Sex:
Again, Jesus Christ said, “Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot…Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed” Luke 17:28, 30. What was it like in Lot’s day before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah? Here’s the answer: “Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire” Jude 7. Thus “fornication” (sex outside of marriage), and “going after strange flesh” (homosexuality), were the primary sins of those ancient cities. It’s a no brainer that through television, Internet pornography, Playboy etc., our world is experiencing an unprecedented deluge of sexual perversion.
9. SIGNS in the world of POLITICS:
In Matthew 24:6-7, Jesus says, “You will hear of wars and rumors of wars ... For nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.” The 20th Century saw World War I, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Arab-Israeli Wars, the war in Bosnia, the Gulf War, Kosovo, southern and northern Ireland, wars all over Africa from Rwanda and Somalia to the Sudan and the Congo. One source estimates 180 million people have been killed in the last century; a total far greater than for any other century in history. Peace treaties, based on frail human promises, are signed one day and broken the next. Speaking of our time, the Apostle Paul declared in 1 Thessalonians 5:3, “When they say, ‘Peace and safety!’ then sudden destruction comes upon them ... And they shall not escape.”
Today the nuclear threat is greater than ever. Even though the U.S. has downsized our nuclear arsenal, Russia has not. In August of 1999, CBS’s 60 Minutes II aired a program about Russia’s Secret Cities continuing to produce plutonium—the key ingredient in nuclear weapons. When terrorists and rogue governments go to Russia seeking to buy plutonium to make nuclear bombs, scientists who have not been paid by Russia’s crumbling economy are sorely tempted to sell their precious commodity.
Revelation 11:18 puts it this way: “The nations were angry and Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged. And that You should reward your servants the prophets and the saints, ... and should destroy those who destroy the earth.” With unchecked nuclear weapons, we now have the capacity for self-destruction. This is certainly one of the greatest signs of Jesus’ Return, for never before in history has mankind had the capability to destroy all the earth.
8. SIGNS in the world of KNOWLEDGE:
The prophetic book of Daniel declares, “But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased” Daniel 12:4. This passage reveals planet Earth will enter its “time of the end” and then “knowledge shall be increased,” knowledge about Daniel’s prophecies and knowledge in general would increase. In our modern era, more than any time in recorded history, knowledge has increased beyond previous generations.
As you turn on your computer, remember; ours is an age truly exploding with knowledge. Looking to our daily newspaper for hope, we find only despair. Looking to the Bible in despair, we find hope. Fulfilled prophecies are all around us, Jesus is coming soon!

Wasting your youth
.Youth.
Don't Waste Your Youth Being Foolish, For When You Are Old You Will Realize What You Could've, Would've, And Should've Done....
A lot of times I think the youth of today often take it for granted, and by 'it' I mean being young.I know I sometimes do. We don't use our youth to our advantage. Instead we lump around the house, on the couch sitting there doing nothing. Or we abuse our bodies to no end. When I was younger I use to write down lists of 'accomplishments' that I thought I might get around to doing before I hit the big 2-0. I wanted to make a difference as a teen and not look back when I'm 30 and say I wish I took the opportunity to do something I wouldn't get an opportunity to do or take a trip I probably wouldn't get the opportunity to take otherwise. Its all about capturing today and seizing the moment/opportunity because being young is not a 'forever' kind of thing oh! We are young only ONE time, and ONE time only..why do you think our parents are always saying: ( well atleast mine lol)" hmmm if I was 25 again ehn?" they enjoyed being 25 because of all that came with it: independence, having fun with friends,trying new things, going to new places, and not having a worry or care in the world!! So if you want to model do it NOW, if you want to try out for American Idol do it NOW ( even if you don't win,at least you had the experience) if you want to travel to Spain,Egypt or Jamaica do it NOW, take advantage of being young and being single.
Ok, I'm done with that whole spiel...on to more important things...french! yea I just embarrazzed the sugar.honey.ice.tea out of myself in french class today...she gave us an oral quiz or something and she asked me in french, 'what do you wear to class'? or 'what are you wearing right now'?....omo, my mind just went BLANK. I was giggling like pee-wee herman or somebody...i couldnt remember most of the vocabulary!!I wanted to roll under a desk...
Things with Azumi are going pretty well. He's nice to look at but theres a lot more to him & I've noticed that he:
He smiles A LOT and he has dimples
His hair is wavy yet curly in some areas
Is really really intelligent & he can carry on a convo on just about anything
He looks at me, in that-sort-of-way..I catch him, but I pretend not to notice.
We are still on that 'friend' status...I don't feel ready to move it up a notch...I'm still trying to observe him and I don't want to be 'tied' down just yet ;-)
Anyway, i've completed most of my applications...just need about 2 more which are due next month and in June.I really hope I get accepted and most importantly I hope they give me money...I've heard that at Howard, some international students pay $7,000 per semester yet many citizens pay twice that amount or more than twice that amount...hmmm and I thought HBCUs were known to be cheap! I need to get into a school and get this thing going if know I want to go to Nigeria and help 'quell' the brain drain...
Y'know something that really gets on my nerves is Nigerians who have lived most of their lives in Nigeria, who all of sudden come to the US/Canada/Uk for maybe about a yr or 2 (maybe 3-4) and all of suddden feel too high & mighty to go back to Nigeria and live. They feel like it is impossible. They also feel as though they are mr/ms know-it-all-im-too-good-for-that-...arghhhh!!! Then they act like they cant even remember the little things about a country they left just ONLY a year ago.
How is the weather in Nigeria around June?
ANSWER:uuuhhh I don't know, its been long since I left!
How much is 50 naira?
ANSWER: I'm not sure nah, you now i left Naija almost 2 yrs ago
Where are you from in Nigeria?
ANSWER: ummm....u know like the south south area...no, actually I'm from the western part. (what?)
Its always funny to meet another Nigerian , they go from surprised to uninterested completely.
Me: where are you from?
Them: Nigeria, what about you?
Me: I'm Nigerian too! ( now, i'm getting excited)
Them: Oh really ( they don't seem too excited)
Them: thats nice to know, where are you from? ( still not very enthusiastic)
Me: *I just say any random state* (me, i no fit... so i don't even bother) then they proceed to ask me "where you born here or...? because you look like an akata"... I just answer yes and stop talking altogether...d convo no dey interest me again sef.
Sometimes they don't even ask where I'm from, they just get aloof and they get kinda surprised and stop talking...kinda like they didn't expect another Nigerian to be around or like they didn't want any other person knowing that they are Nigerian..this happened one time at a party..they just say 'oh really', and move on lmao...not that they should be jumping up and down for joy, but y'know...
shouts out to neefemi blessings outlet butterflies & myne and andrea!!!
and where is mouth of naija?!
HAPPY NEW MONTH!
I'm off this till next time! xo
btw is anyone going to the Wande Coal thingy in NYC( more specifically Brooklyn) next week ( 13th)??
