What's up Blog ville?
So I have decided to pay up all my debts… my pending debts. I never have piece of mind whenever I'm owing sleep. I'm also owing blogville several blogs. They're all up in my head, muddled up and I just figured the only way to get them out is to download as it comes close to the exit area of my head. My previous blog is a raw example. I hardly had to edit anything. This one is also as raw. A blog is just reading material right? Doesn't have to be planned like the blueprint of the construction of the fourth mainland bridge. So here's my unedited and uncensored fuck shit blog.
I have this colleague, he's a corper too. Dude cusses like he's had a live convo with the devil more than once. He doesn't even try to code it at all… he just fires off like "Can u imagine this fucking girl, fucking telling me to fucking come to her fucking house and fucking pick her up so that we can fucking go to the fucking cinemas to fucking see a fucking shit ass mo-fucking-vie?" He sits in an open office and NOPE! he doesn't whisper all these, he's yelling and cussing on the phone all the way.
I can as well just talk about my other dramatic colleague.
There's this IT boy, he looks IT but for some funny reason, everyone that meets him here on a first thought never thinks he is anywhere below the corper level. I'm not saying he acts matured. Infact he doesn't really act more matured than an IT student in my own opinion. But the thing with this dude is that he can talk over-confidently in the midst of his 'seniors' regardless of the fact that he's just a student intern and everyone else around him holds at least a B.Sc degree already. The first day I was introduced to him, I thought to myself that "wow! young looking man, already with a steady job", he shook my hand like a real gentleman and for some funny reason, I thought I could sense stupid money exuding from his whole body. Apparently, I was wrong… TOTALLY wrong!
But I like Isaac though, I'm just beat because I wound up totally wrong about all my assumptions about him. Every passing day, he just reveals certain traits that just confirm his relatively young age. *smh*. Omo kekere
Oh well, lemme stop here, my brain is saturated with too many stuff and I just myt go on rambling on and on about very random stuff till my blog makes much less sense than has shown right now.
Deuces!

My mind has no title at this point
I'm working hard for the friends I used to have, so that they can one day say that they at least knew me once upon a time. Trying to select the true ones out of the ones that seem to be my current friends. ANd as for the future friends, I will try as much as possible to make only friends that will have a great positive influence on me, not just selecting at random.
Friends come and go, no matter how much you try to change the theory. Even your siblings will eventually leave you at some point in time so how much more friends.
I have come to realize that friendship is like your skin… it grows on you, becomes a part of you, you maintain them by moisturizing and just normal skin hygiene routine; if u fail to cater for your skin, it will DRY up and maybe PEEL off. In addition, there are some times that irritations just come up for no particular reason and then after sometime, the outbreak settles back in and the skin goes back to it's smooth form. Also, a friendship like that of a pimpled face is not uncommon. There are some cases where the face is always rough with acne but when u're used to it, u find it easy to accept that it's just d way our skin is and u try to deal with the odds. In the case of many guys, skin bumps are bound to form while hair grows on their chin and around their neck. Some guys decide to study the trend and employ preventive measures against it, some guys don't wanna bother till it comes and then they deal with the skin situation accordingly. At times u try to treat your skin when there's really nothing wrong with it, probably because u see other people's skins looking glossy. Some people's skins are just SENSITIVE. If u liken all these scenarios to friendship, you'll see my point. And the key point to all of these is that you will eventually change your skin, no matter how long it takes, no matter how well u maintain it, no matter the weather.
It's just the way LIFE goes. So, if u find that you have a good skin right now, enjoy it to the maximum while u can because it wont last forever.
I am changing my SKIN now, for a fresher beginning!!! Whichever way u want to perceive it, suit yourself.

#TeamNYSC
Ok... I thot I was going to be able to keep up with d day counts but omo mehn... It's a different ball game from what I had in mind, right here. Like for instance, for some funny reason, my batt drains faster in this part of d country. I think I shld even research on why that happens, there shld be something scientific about it... Ok, maybe it's just my paranoia about this place. Batt power is a bigger luxury than credit, even tho I have to recharge to get both. Gerrit? Ok, enuff with the wordplay let's get to biznes...
Let's talk about the #TeamNYSC (pronounced Team Nice).
I'll start with the very first person I met, my camp gf (sadly, she's now d clique gf). Her name is JUMOKE, from University of Uyo. We met in the shuttle, well into the journey to Bauchi, infact we were just abt 15 mins away from Bauchi when we realised we were headed 4d same destination. She's cute if u ask me... Her smile's cute too. She's got a slight H-factor tho, the kind u can pretend u dint notice. She likes hanging out with the rest of the boys and she's d ONLY girl in my click. Apparently, she's an only girl in her family. She's in platoon 15
Then there's MALCOM, my friend/school fada/bunkie. He finished from FUTminna. He's a serious politician; as in he can tell u why OBJ was d best president ever n at d same tym give a paradoxical addition depicting why no other administration has ever succeeded at being worse than OBJ's admin. Yes he's dat versed in politics although he doesn't rily have money... atleast not yet. He's a very straight forward person and doesn't try to form or anything..., however, in all the forms he's been filling, I never see d name 'Malcom' in d name fields. There's something fishy. Malcom is also a social drinker. He's in platoon 13
LAMIDO is the fulani intl student that got posted to Bauchi afta specifically selecting Kano... Setup ryt? Whareva, that's his fat luck. Anyways, Lamido is a lanky 5'8" dude. Dark just like d north likes it. Has a nasty hybrid accent constituting malo intonation n a lil british sumtin. It's not so bad tho, but if we have to call a spade a spade, it's rather appalling. Lamido seems to know about everything that has 2do wit science and religion... It's weird but I mean, how d hell would u be able to tell dat it's a mule n not a horse... He also takes not of the exact manner a verse in d bible has been constructed: take for instance "nope! D bible dint say 'he was stinking by now' it said 'it must stink by now', it's a suggestive line".... Like WTH? He's got some bragadocio attitude in him too; "our house in lagos, when I drive past chevron, oh sorry I dint mention earlier, it's VGC" or "Fashola's doing a gud job, when I got to d airport from UK, I was sooo impressed"... And blah blah yada yada. Oh, and he can say this like 5 times each day, no jokes. I'm sure he'll say it 7tyms tmrw sef. Ok, have I said anything nice abt my guy Lamido? No? Well, I can't thnk of any ryt now but I'm sure he's cool anyway. He's also in platoon 15 always playing d attentive guy for Jumoke. I so wanna tell him I've got other babes to drool over (not in camp o).
GESH is from unilag... *whispering* (atleast that's wot he told me sha). He's some sorta fine boi n thinks we can form a strong alliance of unilag fine boiz on d camp (jst me n him). He's on a steady P wit some fyn ebony chic in our platoon (platoon 14). I thnk she likes me instead sha ;), but I'm a serious alan-poser here mehn, I always pretend not to be bothered abt any babes here. Gesh n I just started rolling proper 2day tho so I can't really say much abt him...he's cool too tho.
Mustapha Momodu aka BABA is a fine boi jor... Ahan... I dunno who has got more unilag swag in dis our camp btwn me and him...altho I seem rolling wit just guyz so his swag is more or less only noticed by the OSU dudes he hangs wit most of the tym. But he's cool too, correct unilag boi repping it good I Bauchi.
Then there's FUNKE! Cutest girl on camp(us). Always having her own white on white different... She would wear sleeveless or longsleeve when everyone's wearing d normal short sleeve. She's dark, She's cool too. I just myt snatch her from Gesh if care is not taken, because she clearly likes me :D. I'm only trying to respect the fact that he found her before me...
BELLO is her last name and it's wot she prefers everyone calling her. Her first name is Bilikis tho. Quite a talkative person, but she's fine.. I like her personality anyway...she musta been a happening Hadjia in UniIlorin. She's abt my height and is kinda fond of me... Who wouldn't be fond of Mr. Radeyo Endowed anyway? :D.
DAPO also finished from sys eng, Unilag. Very gentle and friendly guy... Not too much to write abt him but I tell u, it's only because I'm tired of typing... He's a cool dude too.
Aii, so my fellow readers, I will rest my fingers n battery power here. Too bad I couldn't keep up with the day counts but I'm surely going to do a countdown to my exit when the time is right.
Catch y'all later blogville, I'm out

Live Post
This is a test run...
You know that euphoria of watching a game, tv show, reality show as it is happening? i.e watching it LIVE...
Well, I am introducing it to Blogville. Yup yup! I am tweeting from my fone for the first tym. Did I say tweeting?
Oops! Blogging jare. Don't mind me. Yep. Since blogger.com is just a simple website that does not have d tym to be
tracing where a note is posted from, unlike them twitter and facebook, I have made it my duty to tell u myself. I
am not going to be with my laptop at d NYSC camp so this would be my sole means of blogging.
Anyways, as for the live updates... So far so good, network's been rily cool up north, I'm in a shuttle ryt now,
dunno how far away from bauchi camp I am, but I've been on the road for over an hour now. I'm quite excited
I'm pleased to see good roads. The weather's rily cool. The bus is really quiet inside but the engine is a lion's
roar. I'm very very hungry (can't believe I almost forgot to mention that). And it just occured to me that it's d
first tym I'll be travelling to an unknown region ALONE.
Well, this is really not supposed to be a blogpost that u may wanna enjoy (sorry for not making u realise this
earlier on :D). It's just something for ur bored-out mind to mess with. I wanna take a nap now. Camp Day1 post coming up NEXT

And it’s Camp Day Zero…
It’s camp day zero because it is the start of the program but since I’m not going to be there till tomorrow, I’ll rather iterate the days from ZERO. These days, blogging has been less challenging for me, although I have just posted a single blog since that one that’s about um-teen months ago. Ok lemme rephrase for grammar sake; blogging WILL be less challenging for me these next few 3weeks because I’m going to make it my camp journal and I hope to have enough fun stuff to yarn about at the camp.
So, the ultimate question now is, “Am I ready?”. Well, Yeah I’m ready… my mind is prepared, my bags are packed, yes I’m all set………………………except that I haven’t ironed what I’m going to wear to the airport, besides that, I’m ready. Oh and yeah, I haven’t taken any passport photographs, heard I’ll be needing lots of them, so I’ll do that with the photocopying of my documents that I’ll be taking to camp. Really don’t know why I’ve been procrastinating on that one sef. I’ll do it before noon. Shit! I haven’t had my haircut… my fingernails can pluck pawpaw as it is now. I heard the babes would be using all these little things, as assessment since we’ll all be wearing white and noone can know who is who. I’ll barb my hair in F-city jor (that’s what I like to call Abuja…as in FCT, gerrit? :D). As for the manicure, if I forget again, then I’ll use my teeth jor X_X. Don’t judge me o. I still haven’t bought mosquito net sha…Hmmm! Am I ready at all?
But these are just small details na… I have this friend that is actually just looking for the NYSC online registration scratch card to buy, *smh*. This is something that everyone has done and forgotten about, I can bet he hasn’t ironed his clothes for tomorrow, taken any passport photographs, made copies of his credentials, manicured, had his haircut… he probably hasn’t collected his call-up letter, who knows? Anyways, #IsItMyBusiness?
So I’ll be flying to the F-city in a few hours, then I’ll just take a straight bike to Bauchi. Was gonna go thru Jos but I changed my mind for some sensible reason… What? You want to know? I wonder why you really want to know d ‘sensible reason’ now. Must you know every?... Ok, it’s a simple reason; I found only one Gidi-JTown flight for 1:30, which means I’ll be landing there by 3pm and then I’ll get to camp latest 5:30, all things being equal. Note the clause at the end tho à ‘all things being equal’. Which brings us to the other part of the equation. If all things didn’t match up nko: then first things first, the flight will be delayed for atleast an hour… then my luggage will be hard to find when we land the airport at 4:30, this will then have me leaving the airport by 5pm. Since I don’t know Jos well, I wont get a means of transportation to Bauchi till about 5:45pm… then I will travel for another 2hrs to Bauchi, and 30 mins to my camp site at Ganjuwa L.G.A. (See me saying ‘my camp’ as if I’ve been there before).
Anyways, bottom line, I don’t want to get to camp late at night only to join a group of freshmen still suffering, trying to register.
So I’ll leave for Bauchi tomorrow in the morning. So that I can get to camp when it’s still bright. That’s my itinerary in a verbiage form. I just hope I meet a fellow Bauchi corper at the airport so we could get lost together while finding the place.
If u ask me… I’m prepared and I’m excited too… I’m READY!

JUNE 30th... The day I got shocked NYSCly!!!
The day started early; I woke up 6:00am. I was filled with some sort of anxiety as the guy that was supposed to fix my NYSC posting to Lagos had stopped taking calls; it was either his fone was switched off or he just won't answer. So at the back of my mind, I was settling for 3wks in ANY state just for the orientation camp. Yeah, I thot 'ANY' state would do. I was quite confident, or would I say I was seriously 'faith-having' that everything would go fine; "bad as e bad, I go just get kwara or sum'n"...that's what I thot. So I was getting ready to leave for school when a friend sent me a msg that she got posted to Ogun state. I didn't even think the postings had come out because I felt it was too early for them to paste on the board at d DSA's office (I was in school till evening the day before but the postings weren't pasted yet so I thought it could only be pasted in the evening d next day). I received d msg with an elevated level of excitement. I actually felt pity for d babe that she didn't get Lagos, lol. She told me my other friend got Osun. That was when it started to dawn on me that getting Lagos is like a 'pin in the haystack' search quest. So I moved that thought from d back of my mind, brought it to the forefront of it n started saying to myself "Deyo, u're going to have to redeploy to Lagos". I had accepted that my 'Lagos' won't click. So because I was really eager to know what NYSC felt abt the name 'Onamusi Moradeyo Kayode' n where d owner of the name should be thrown to, I tweeted my details so that any of my followers on twitter that was in school at the time could as well just break d news to me over twitter. I only had to wait for about 30mins then I got a DM (direct message) from a friend, it went "sorry bruv, urs is BAUCHI". Bauchi??? Like did I need runz for that? Bauchi is not my idea of 'ANY' state na. I was in shock for another 10mins and dat's when I got a confirmation msg from another friend; "urs is BA o". 'It has finished! I am finished' that's what I thought. The very first IM I got after dat was a PING! And with impulse I just typed 'bauchi' and sent it without really taking note of who I was chatting with.
'Bauchi' was now like in every 8 words I wrote or spoke...it was a reminder that there's actually a state like that in Nigeria. I think the last time I heard of it, it was during the 'state and capital' recitation in pry school. I've never even heard of any person that has served there before. It was just a huge shocker. Before I could even get ONE partner nko? Serious work! Like Unilag posted just d two of us to that state. I wish it was a fine girl I discovered sha. I still hope I will find a fine girl sha :D. Initially, I was thinking the only option I had was to do everything in my capacity to change camp, then after some time, reality started to set in n I started to put d option of actually going there for my orientation as my most viable one. I was done deceiving myself that I still had runz to fix it; I mean, if ur runz guy can only fix u in Bauchi, then ur best chance of changing camps is probably to Borno so I'd rather just chill. Although, I'm 'secretly' trying to do something about it sha ;).
I was going to drop my younger sister in school in d morning yesterday when I got a call from my cousin that's based in Kano...he was asking me to help him find out about d price of a Thuraya satellite fone in Lagos... His sister and her husband stay in some remote area in Yola. I just hope I won't have to be checking out prices for 2 instead of 1 now that I'm Bauchi-bound and I have no idea what d network situation is like over there (I wanna keep this blog live while I'm there)... All I'm sure about is that, God has a reason for everything, and for me all his reasons are always GOOD. I'm a Bauchi Corper by HIS grace. The runz for my redeployment has commenced.
...And I'm out!

#IsItTheirBlogpost?
#NowPlaying Whut you want - Modenine ft Mo'Cheddah
I've always preferred to keep my blog link open to only a few people. I studied my attitude towards the site and realized how flaky I will always be towards it; I don't wanna tell the whole world (not like I know a lot of people like that) about it and then fail to update regularly. So, the fewer people I disappoint, the better - disappointment is inescapable whichever way. However, I later on came to realize that that lack of the ability to keep blogs updated religiously is not a rarity after all. I read some blogs, some of which the links I found posted publicly on social networking sites and available to thousands to view, and boy! did I find some surprising 'irregularities' in some blog sites. I mean, this is what my 3rd post this year? It's really terrible compared to those that update at least once a week right? On the other hand, during my 'blog-reading research' I found that my inconsistency could not be matched for comparison against some other people's perpetual writer's-block. Some don't even remember they have something like that lying fallow on the web, although that was the case with me too till late last year when I decided to try to change things up a lil.
Even after I made a resolution to give my blog a better treatment this year, I still found it difficult to just come up here and ramble stuff…I felt it was not the way blogs should be updated. Then it hit me. This is my blog nau, not anyone else's. If anyone is reading this with some scrutinizing opinions, it's because they are entitled to it and that doesn't mean I'm going to be assessed for whatever. I mean, #IsItTheirBlogpost?
Paradoxically, I'm justifying and condemning my blogging irregularities.
Henceforth, I am going to treat this blog very randomly, in content and in frequency. I will write about any thing - I can make it my diary, I can post jokes, I can post journals, I will vent and lament on it if I need to, lol. Likewise, I can update it today, come back 5 hours and update it again and then go absent for 5 days, and maybe another 5 months, lol - just as I like it. Notin do me.
As far as I' m concerned a blog is any sort of verbiage that either makes sense or doesn't. I think what I have here is a blog so I'mma leave whoever it is reading this to start feeling good or bad about the few minutes spent here reading this post. It has been fun for me though, considering the fact that I've made things clear with my visitors and most especially myself, because frankly I never knew what to do with my blog until now. Alright, I have a low batt now, I need to post this before it drains out.
ENJOY!!!

Blank
It's just rather annoying that it's when you're away from the computer that the nicest stories and ideas to blog about come up in your head...and the moment you get on the laptop to put something down, you go BLANK. This has been like the main impedance to my blog MOJO for a very long time and writing about it might just be the irony that will spark the reversal.
Ok, it's rather embarrassing that I've had this blog link for years and I've got just about a dozen posts to show for it. Blogging frequently is not as easy as just putting up writings in a diary; in most cases, you'll be the only one to read your diary, however, scribbling a few hundreds of words into a blog post at least once every month, shouldn't be a big deal for me. Even if it's just a recap of how boring or exciting my month was, that should suffice.
So, enough of the procrastination! I have decided to put this post regardless of the absence of a solid coherent topic to choose. In case you havent noticed, no matter how lengthy this blog may appear to be, any information you are about gain from this post is not going to be more than what you already gained which is probably and most likely NOTHING.......err... ok, maybe you will learn that something will always come out of Nothing; I have drafted over a hundred words in my 'BLANK' blog. If you hope to find something that is worth reading in this blog then you may skip back to previous blog posts or just wait very patiently for my next blog if you've read the past posts already.
If my next blog comes in really delayed just bear with me, *in 9ice's voice* "e mi o raye", lol... just kidding, it would come in as pretty soon as possible. I just devised a means, in my head, by which I shall be updating my blog site more frequently. So stay tuned. I'm back again (oya true true, this time it's for the last time). God Bless You and have a wonderful Sunday.

enuff is enuff
So I decided to give this blog page a blog post with a 2010 date. I've been procrastinating on whether to update my blog when I have stories/gist to talk about but I've just come to conclude that my writing won't be just topic-based. Like now, I'm only free-styling what to blog about (like I always did in past posts). So enough of the delays; I'll be blogging randomly on a relatively frequent basis i.e compared to my 2-3yrs radio silence. Interesting blogs I've been coming accross these past few days have been my motivation to return.
Ok, so happy new year to y'all! Or rather, Happy new years, considering the fact that I've been away for years. I'ld like to thank Blogger for keeping my link intact; not shut down and stuff. It feels good to be back or black again...lol
Like I mentioned earlier, am blogging very randomly (for now). However, I would still like to draw out my views on the latest trending topics in our society (I'm Nigerian in case u dint know). These topics are "Umar Farouk Mutallab makes history" in a disastrous manner, and "the very whereabouts of our very-ill president" apparently he's had a brain damage problem now, it's the latest I heard (probably just a hoax).
Anyways, Frookie Mootie, like one of my friends would call him, is an exact paradigm of a brain-washed young man. This is my opinion because I rily do not see how a young guy, young rich guy, young rich educated guy, young rich educated handsome guy, young rich educated handsome Nigerian.... (ok lemme cut to the chase, u shud get my point by now). I just dont see how such a fortunate (well, now unfortunate) kid would try to do an underwear bombing, it's just crazy and absurd. I really can't reason with such a story like that if it involved a sane Nigerian. It'll have to be a mu-mu, a mutallab, one that has literally place his mind where he can never find it again, one that has had his brain soaked in izal and dettol and washed with omo, ariel and canoe, one that has left his brain under 50cents heavy timbaland boots, one that has literally taken out his brain and left a good vacuum in his head....... in essence, one that does not deserve to be human. Plus xmas day felt lyk d sexiest date to pull a terrorist attack... it's uber-depressing. Now travelling out of 9ja that has always been a big deal here is now almost as hard as trying to go to heaven just by flying... so much stuff on my mind but i jst dunno how to put them down into any other kind of writing other than what I've put down.
Maybe I rily cant rant to an ideally expressive extent about how I feel concerning Mutallab and the foolish act he tried to pull... maybe it's 'cause something else bothers me. I mean, is it me or the fact that our president has gone incommunicado for about 7 weeks is more disturbing than the mutallab case? Well, to me it is. In my own opinion, if Yar'Adua is still alive, which i really doubt, he's now a vegetable. He definitely is not capable of running 150 million Nigerians, he never was up to the task anyways. In the midst of all specualtions, it seems there's now a battle for Vice presidency seeing that Goodluck is very lykly to succeed the 'dead' man. I also heard that dis battle involves major artillery, guns like OBJ, IBB, Turai (former first lady, lol). It's just a shame that Obama couldn't find d president to atleast talk to when Mu-Mu tried to take 250-something flight passengers with him just by yanking his penis to set off a bomb, really embarassing stuvs mehn. Why wouldn't we enter their watchlist? Why would there be fuel for everyone to buy at any given place or time?
However, as sensitive as these cases myt seem, Nigerians are not sympathising with any of the Umars... instead, left to us, there's more to life than crying over a failed bombing and a failure president. We will find a way to stay surviving no matter what, just as we've always been doing. So, I'd like to add that if the US can not be rational enough in their thinking, they can go ahead to draw their disdainful conclusions on our country based on a 'one in a 150million' sample test, they can search our asses (no pun intended) for explosives if it's wot makes them sleep at night, one thing remains for sure; No one (except God) can ever take the Nigerian spirit out of us. Not lyk we use to receive respect from other 'developed' countries in the first place so it's really no big deal to us.
I'm feeling tired now, I think I've spent some energy on this and now I feel enervated... plus it's late... so I'll leave my lamentations at just that... Later blogville!
