THE GOOD OLD DAYS

THE GOOD OLD DAYS
Once again I'm forced to remember the richness of my past, a reality that, unfortunately is lost upon this generation. As a child I was drawn to the vast libraries of my uncles, filled with authors like Ian Fleming, Dilibe Onyeama and Sidney Sheldon.

 Nights without power were spent listening to mum's tales or dad's 'School of life' anecdotes. We grew up watching Sesame Street and Kidivision 101. We read Othello for fun and kicked footballs for lunch. We played checkers, chess, ludo, "whot", ayo and table soccer. The streets were our 100m tracks and the neighbourhood parking lot was our Wembley stadium. We went camping, killed snakes, raised pigeons, caught electric fish and marched on national holidays. We were Scouts, Brigadiers, Guides, school parents and super cyclists!
We knew our history, and were familiar with Mansa Musa, Shaka, Jaja and Kosoko. The blood of a thousand empires flowed through our veins.
We bought birthday cards....and if we couldn't afford them, we made them ourselves.
We cooked and cleaned, while Fela informed us that Water had no enemies and Majek was fleeing rainstorms

Tragically, the flood of information has watered down our ability to communicate, reducing the context of our conversations to abbreviations, emoticons and a jumble of letters. Nowadays we type 'HBD' for an annual event because typing the whole thing takes too much work.
Our grammer is atrocious, the musical hits of our time plumb new depths of mediocrity as each song is merely a celebration of ill gotten wealth or sensual prowess.
We are ignorant of our history and commit the greater sin of not wanting to learn. Our social lives are restricted to the sizes of our information devices, loved ones and friends reduced to mere contacts on a screen, greeted with the perfunctory 'lol' or the annoying 'kk'.
We seem to have traded the richness of life for the opportunity to hustle, and like Judas, given away what we were for what we are ashamed to be.

Invasion of the rodents & roaches? See what to do now

Every home has a tendency to face this problems. Rats  and cockroaches are very common in Nigerian homes and Lagos is no has a lot of this rodents living in most homes. Diseases you can get from rats range from  Boubonic plague, lass fever, cholera, Dysentry, e.t.c and roaches carry leprosy, food pathogens.

 SEE YOUR LAND LORD!

It can be embarrassing to  have visitors in your posh looking sitting room and then this Rats shows up right in front of your guests.

IS THIS YOUR KITCHEN TENANT?

 I went to visit a friend and after a nice meal, i took the dishes to his kitchen ,  what i saw almost made me vomited out all the food. there were cockroaches licking away on both the dirty dishes and clean dishes. That's right! what can you do?  

Do these pest rule your home?

you can get back control. I had to do some research, once you fumigate, your neighbor's pest will definitely migrate to your home.My home is sandwiched between two other houses. I can tell how stressful, to see rats come back after successfully using poisons( though some actually die in funny places)Yuck! the odor is horrid. Most fumigators do quick fixes i.e. fast sprays that will kill these pests but last than a week, they will reappear from nowhere.  I found one fumigating business in Lagos who have been impressive with the treatment.They use chemicals that odorless,bio-friendly and they are safety conscious. Their treatment chemicals was so effective, that i notice a strong decline in last in a week and no signs of rats after 6 months. O.D.

What is the best way to rest?

Happy workers day everyone! In 24 hours the day would be over and work continues day after tomorrow. What then? how does one rest for a day? Workers! is the concept of resting is very vague?

Great friends  can really get you pumped for the work  after the holidays. Don't hang out for too long. Its just 24 hours.

There is nothing like a good nap to soothes the rough edges away. Wake up late and tuck in early when on holidays

shopping at the mall can be relaxing. these outfits are great for the heat except for these winter boots.

How can your get your body to relax in 24 hours and feel fresh. I think a good long sleep might do the trick. Don't wake up so early, mid afternoon chill out with friends. I prefer to have a good meal, watch a movie, take a nap and hang out with friends ( very briefly of course) if i have  the time window shop.Ladies don't go out shopping unless its therapeutic for you. wink*  HAPPY WORKERS!

HEALTHY YOU!

 #Danielsdiet: Are you strong enough to do this?

Lagos is a busy place to live in but the worst of it, is the temptations to allow an unhealthy eating habit grow in you. In traffic, the only thing you would see, while you wait is; gala, La Casera,Coca Cola  and many frizzy sodas. On the streets there are all the deep fried foods with enough oil to kill you liver, if it misses your heart. How often do one take an orange or eat freshly prepared salad?
I asked a friend who works  on the Island, when was the last time he ate fresh fruit. He took a pretty long time to answer, to be honest he had not done so in  a longtime. So if you feel strong a enough,  i dare you to try #Danielsdiet, but as Nigerians we have to tweak it a bit (Nigerians are not good vegetarians).



For  a week Challenge, you need to drink on a daily basis
* 2 litres of water minimum
* Take fruits twice a day
* Eat freshly made salad at least twice a week
* No Coke, 7Up or Beer (no carbonated drinks nor wine, spirits)
* no cakes , fried plantain (Dodo)nor akara
* Take fermented Drinks at least once; Yorgurt, Ogi, Kunu
* your budget is N3500( that is in naira)
* take a picture of yourself before and after a week of this diet. lets your comment. We need to know if it was really a challenge or easy breezy!
Follow Nigerians join this challenge and I am told you will see the difference on your skin and you health will definitely improved!

Black, white or both? You decide.

 A little black , a little white or a bit of both. whats cooler for a hot sunny weather. No matter the style, the mono colour is still in vogue. Night time outfit of choice for any dinner date is of course the classic L.B.D.(little black dress), that look will set you apart but try black sequence with satin silk (thanks to MAKAY designs for all outfits on the display)

LBD: Black dress with sequence 

White silk dress with bright pink beaded neck piece

white lace with black and white details

Daytime outfit for the weekend is White silk with a bright colour embellished necklace or beads. the Word "Stunning" comes to mind, white will make you feel and look cool.

 A note of warning: NEVER wear any white dress through Lagos public buses! unless you have a shawl to wrap around you to cover the dress bottom and your shoulders before you sit down.
Just saying; not a good idea, stains will occur and if you are really lucky a tear here and there.

A blend of the two colours on silvery grey is another choice for you ladies who can't stand white nor black. A bit of lace with the both colours is smart!

"Remember fashion is not stress but don't look a mess" 

Beach ready? D-day who changes Lagos.

Today is hotter than ever! traffic is crazy. Panic in the  the air. Tomorrow Lagos will decide if change will come or not. Threats of Igbo's swimming by the Oba will be forgotten , maybe forgiven by everyone who felt insulted. I desire the beach right now if anything else to cool off.   In this heat, that  is the only thing that comes to mind. have a great day.
