Dear Fam,
It has been about 3 weeks since I last posted on
the blog and all I can say is “Ema binu jare, I wasn’t born this way!” A lot of
things happened within this period...the good, the bad and the not so ugly but
through it all, God has been at the top and yes, he is the Oga. It would take
another 3 weeks to tell the give you the whole gist, so i’ll just highlight the
few which stood out like a pot belly.
MY LAPTOP (The Testimony)
Hmmmn, I woke up one morning to discover my
laptop had run mad. It kept beeping continuously and annoyingly too (the kind
of alarm u didn’t set yourself and can’t stop either), some of the keys weren’t
working and just imagine Nigerian athletes running alongside Usain Bolt, that
is how slow the system had become. “Wetin
I go do?” I asked myself. At this point, all I could think of was what would
become of my blog. After trying to restart several times, the laptop finally went
into a coma. It miraculously came back to life after about 3 weeks and is
currently on life support. Brethen, join me in thanking the Lord. “The Lord who
has brought my laptop to life will give me a mark on my birthday in 2014.” Oya,
shout Amen!
MY BIRTHDAY
This life (not the T.V drama) can be so amazing.
I went to bed on the 2nd of March, only to wake up on the 3rd
and there’s a text message from Infidelity bank, trying to convince me that it
was my by-day (insert my Kaduna peeps). Several messages later, I still wasn’t
convinced as no family member had wished me a by-day as at noon. They always
forget and this leads me to ask, “family & friends, who suppose wish u
happy birthday first?”
I still didn’t break my personal record for the
number of gifts I receive on my birthday, each year. Just in case you are
wondering, i’ll put you out of your misery....na only two gifts. The gift of
life from God and then the gift of friendship, that is where y’ll come in!
Tanchu tanchu...for all the beautiful prayers/wishes!
THE INTERVIEW
Muddie finally made his Nollywood debut as he
starred in Blockbuster movie “The interview”.
Y’ll need to have seen the puzzled looked on my face when i walked in
and saw the crowd. “Oluwa
o! Are these
people here to watch a movie abi na the same interview we come for?” I asked
myself.
It was really awkward, having to sit in a room
with so many people waiting to be interviewed for the same job. I stared in
their faces one after another, Buju Banton’s “Destiny” playing in my head. Some
dressed like ogas at the top, a few speaking in locally acquired foreign
accents and others reading past interview questions & answers on their phones/ipads.
In that moment, na only me know wetin i follow God yarn because every time I
went for the next stage of the interview, the crowd was less, like God had a
way of convincing them to look elsewhere, say jobberman.com for other job opportunities.
THE SHOCKER
After three long weeks away from the blog, there
are no cobwebs on the blog, there were occasional visits. Now that’s a shocker.
For those who have forgotten the address of the site, in the now famous voice
of Lagos
Commandant of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corp (NSCDC), Mr Obafaiye
Shem, it is www.themuddiefactor
(*clears throat)....That’s all!
