Happy weekend and lots of love!

Thanks so much to everybody that left something on my last post. I am grateful.

I hope you all had a good weekend. I spent my weekend listening to reggae and retreating into a world of books. Doing that and with all your prayers, thoughts, love and well wishes, I am now calmer and looking foward to better days.

Thank you all once again.

Lots of love,
Waffy

Oya, I give up...I need prayers...(anybody wey see this post must leave prayer here)

Oya, those of una wey dey come this blog....I need help. Make una leave prayers for this post. Anything wey una wan pray, make una pray. I don't care about the religion. Even if na small thing like "abeg, give waffy strength" whatever. The whole universe must enter this matter. Oya, make una begin pray....I don vex, my matter must reach somewhere today.

I guess a "waffy day" was bound to come up sooner or later!

Okay I really have to go...oops...I have got to get to the bathroom...why I am I so nervous? Lord, I am gonna miss my flight...okay, take it easy, no need to get so worked up over nothing. You are just going to get on a plane, that's all. Easy. Nothing to worry about, just take your time..SHIT! I have to go...SHIT! SHIT!!...Okay, lets move on. Laptop, "Eze goes to school bag"(why did I give my mum my brand new travelling bag? why did I volunteer?), phone, passport, extra money, uh huh, everything cool.

Okay, I can do this, one step at the time. Good. Bus is late. I can just relax, breathe in, breathe out, in, out, that's it..easy does it...FUCK! where is my Sim card? Fuck! Its on the table in the living room. I need that card. How am I supposed to live without a phone number? or should I burst it? I hate that fucking phone anyway, I have become a slave, phoning, texting, phoning...fucking crazy world. I had a such a peaceful life without that contraption...nasty piece of work...Damn! I need that card...Okay, my sister has run off to go get it...I bet you the moment she turns the corner, when I can't see her, she is gonna walk...I know...so lazy...I just know it..and here is the bus! Perfect!

Yeah, that's right old people, just get on the bus and don't feel pity for me. Yes, I am missing it, I'll get the next one...that's life for you. Nothing to feel sorry for here. Life sucks and that's it. Yep! and there is my sister strolling down without a care in the world! Yes, yes, I missed it.

Jeez! Its cold. I am gonna miss my flight. I hate Ryan air....I am never using it in my life. I rather use a bus! Oh...here is the bus. I can't feel my feet. Yeah, yeah, goodbye, I'll be fine. I'll just settle in, listen to some music, feel miserable. I am gonna miss my flight...fucking traffic. I swear I'll just go home and sleep. I won't even cry. I'll just say "So I missed it?, too bad" then I'll go home and sleep. Everybody will be shocked. They'll say "What happened?" and I'll say "That's life.So unreliable"

This is so messed up...I am gonna die...I am gonna die...yeah, where is that Ryan air woman? uh huh, check in at the machines...okay...now what? Sorry? You must be kidding me? this fucking long line? You must be kidding! and she is so happy to say that too...nah nah nah...something is wrong here...this can't be right...What? not this line? I knew it! Shit! I hate Ryan air, I really do. Okay, calm down, calm down, lets see if we can skip this line...what? you wanna get in front of me? your plane going? Shit! I can't really afford to be kind now..but do it, yeah, yeah, stand in front of me..and the rest people can all cry if they want...its my space and I say you can have it. Yes, that's right!

Okay, good. Bag dropped off...now let's see.....Oh dear! That's the customs thingy? I feel like going to toilet again...Jeez...Okay, we can do this...step by step...slowly, snail's pace...s-l-o-w-l-y...Oh Come on! You must be kidding. How slow can these people be? Remove belt, jacket, shoe, get laptop out....Come on!

Okay, now to find "gate"...yeah...last gate...great! I hate Ryan air...good...right on time with a minute to spare! I really have to go to toilet...



For those that do not know my "waffy days" you can see an example here

Make I go hustle first, I dey come, wey I finish, make wahala come. But for now, other things dey my mind.

SUPER PROUD!

My good friend Tolu Ogunlesi (and I can swear that he is an angel) just got short listed for the 2009 PEN/studzinsky Literary Award

I am still upset that he did not win the "Future Award" thingy. I mean I voted for him and all!

Well done Tolu!

A woman's worth...(For my sisters)

What the hell are you worth? Do you know your worth? Do you know just how great your heart is? Do you know just how beautiful your passion for life is? your laughter, your joy, your soul? Do you know how caring, how loving you are? Your pretty smile, the way you think of everybody else but yourself? Do you know how much you give of yourself, every single day? How much are you worth, you silly girl? Your wonderful mind, full of so many ideas, so many notions? Your strong hands, capable of holding the strong and the weak? How much are you worth my darling? If you knew your worth, you would hold your head high and smile. You would look at everybody around you and think how lucky they are that you, are on their side. If you knew your worth, you would know that your honesty, your dignity, your uncompromising principles, are worth more than gold.

Hold your head up high, my darling. The man that does not see your worth, is not worth you. For a real man, knows a real woman when he sees her.Hold your head up high!

P.S: WOMEN, WOMEN, WOMEN! COMPLEX CREATURES OF THE EARTH. NOBODY "CHOOSES" YOU, MY DARLINGS. NOBODY. IT IS TIME YOU START "CHOOSING". YEAH, THATS RIGHT. GET YOUR MINDS RIGHT.

If not now, then when?

If not now, then when?
If not today,
Then, why make your promises?
A love declared for days to come,
Is as good as none.

You can wait 'til morning comes.
You can wait for the new day.
You can wait and lose this heart.
You can wait and soon be sorry.

If not now, then when?
If not today,
Then, why make your promises?
A love declared for days to come,
Is as good as none.

Now love's the only thing that's free.
We must take it where it's found.
Pretty soon it may be costly.

'Cause if not now, then when?
If not today,
Then, why make your promises?
A love declared for days to come,
Is as good as none.

If not now, what then?
We all must live our lives.
Always feeling.
Always thinking.
The moment has arrived.

If not now, then when?
