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?

"Waffy, look, just bone up. You hear me? Fuck everything, you are strong, you can do this, bone up...you hear me?"

That was my sister.

"Waffy, toughen up, you have been through worse, you know where you are coming from, toughen up"

That was my friend, Emeka.

"Buckle up, my friend!"

That was my mother.

"You need a strategy"(strategy said with a french accent)

That was my brother.

"Abeg, life is not that hard"

My other sister.

"When I get a good job, you can get anything you want, as far as I can pay in installments"

My other brother.(Yes,it did make me feel better!)


Everything now seems hilarous to me(at the end of the day, the line is quite thin). I mean, sometimes life is so absurd that one do nothing but laugh about just how deliciously ridiculous things are.

Come on, there must be more to life than acting this role that I am expected to. I mean, who gave me that particular role anyway? I did not get any memo saying "waffy, this role has been made specifically to suit your character". I don't even know what this theatre show is about anyway, how am I expected to act my part?

Nahhhhhhhh, y'all just go ahead and have a good time. I'll observe from the sidelines and when I see a part that might suit me, I'll jump right in!

Until then, I intend to treat every thing as if it was meant to be laughed at.

I am all "boned up".

P.S: Don't bother making sense of this post, I can't either. But the point is , I am now "hard core"...you know, untouchable...

I am cool!

Okay, check this out. I am not weird, funny or strange....somebody actually thinks I am super cool! Okay, she did not say "super" but she did say I am cool! Thanks Sandrine.

If you know say u dey feel dis groove, somebody say OH YEAH!

Abeg, feel this groove...

(sorry oh, na only link i fit do, i no fit put up the video)

Okay, I dey update!

Catwalq, thank you for giving me topics to choose from because I swear to God, I no even know wetin I be wan write. So I choose "Obama is in!" and for your information, that post was written after a night of insomnia and not after a night of illegal organic substances....thanks for your faith in me. Okay, Okay, I lie...it was after a night of vodka, not as bad as you thought ehn?

Obama is in and all I could think about during the inauguration was how terribly sorry I am for my own country. I just felt ashamed for my county and...INSPIRED to do something about those rotten human beings that won't let us have our own obama. But not to worry, change is coming, I swear, if I no give speech like Obama, I no go rest. Haba! I must give speech. Just once, just once on a podium somewhere, even if na for my papa village, even if nobody dey understand wetin I dey yarn, I must give speech.

As you can see, I have absolutely nothing to write about. My life is at a standstill at the moment. I have now become one of those people you see who stares absent mindedly in bus stops and train stations. My phone ringing gives me high blood pressure and my mailbox makes me nervous.

My only joy these days is the thought of playing wii and thrashing all my opponents. Perhaps wii will give me back my joy in life? Who knows?

As for heart issue, Oh Lordy! Somebody give me a heart of stone cos my useless heart is not capable of behaving itself. It is a burden on my soul.

Hope you are all good?

Lots of love, jare.

Life must move on....hisssssssssssssssss!

It's alright!

Lovers or friends
Let loose or get close
I ain't got no where to go
I ain't got no one waiting
We can do it all night
or just for the moment
Get inspired for the day or forever
Anything you want, I am game
Play the game or do it right,
anything you want baby, it's alright!
