GETTING PAID WHILE LAUGHING !!

Hmmmm my people,

I ‘m really angry, sincerely I dey vex!! Ask me why? Life is a cheat…. a serious cheat o.
My blog people will wonder what is wrong with me this weekend. Okay, it’s the many questions of life ooo.

You don’t know what I am thinking …thinking, thinking, and thinking!!

Why is getting a good laugh suddenly becoming so expensive?
What is the definition of comedy in the literal sense in Naija? Pay me to make you laugh. (clapping!!)

Some years back I remember seeing two cheques mean't for Ali Baba (my guy) worth a handsome number and six figures by the side to perform in two shows for just 20-30 minutes each. Guess what?  I actually went for one of those shows with my friends and while everyone was enjoying their time. I was there counting 2 minutes...100,000 thousand, 4 minutes..200,000 thousand, 300,000 thousands, 400,000 thousand, 800,000 thousand, 1.. em, em!. My people within 20-30 minutes with people laughing at his jokes, “yepaaaa, money don finish oooo”! (Yoruba pidgin)

I was there shaking my head, telling myself “this people them no sabi anything” (pidgin). I saw bankers, telecoms gurus, advertising whiz kids and all the rest of them (book people). To my guy Ali B, every second in that room meant ego (money) and to us it was plenty work you know with some Sir's/Ma's in between and some heavy book titles like MSc, DDD, PDP, HDD etcetera etcetera…hmm!! . Everyday 5am to 9pm, driving back and forth o. (imagine!!!).

Then I watched AY recently performing his stunt in UK with everyone paying to watch his stunts. Okay, I know how hard it is for an average Iya Charlie (British Queen) friend of mine to let go off some notes of Iya Charlie (pounds sterling) without quickly browsing the exchange rate; they couldn’t resist AY stunts oooo. I remember being on the same flight from Port Harcourt with AY, my first time of seeing him in person. It struck me that AY was just a regular guy who knows how to make you laugh while emptying your pocket in the process.
Okay, so is life fair? Don’t ask me why I am angry again o …. Anyway, I rest my case but life is sweet!!!

My advice “Don’t be a comedian” but think twice next time your school teacher says.............. “what would you like to be when you grow up?” (lol).

Being a sharp Ajebo…….. I am already thinking, thinking and thinking!!! I know what to tell my teacher next time.. (laughing).

WHO WANTS TO BE A MILIONAIRE?


Hi everyone!


Okay its Sunday and I am thinking about being prosperous!

I bet everyman wants to be a Millionaire. Guess what, a Naija man is certainly an Oliver Twist and definately would not want to stop there until more zeros are added to hit the billion target which feels or definately sounds much much better. (lol!).

I reminisce on that popular American song “I wanna be a billionaire so freaking bad…..”(ego nmadu!!)

But today I’ll share this cool extract I got from a church comedy manual I found about a guy’s
conversation in the forest. The story goes………………

A man was walking through a forest pondering about life away from the busy streets to enjoy a
closer touch of nature and also feel closer to GOD away from the busy city life.

So while walking in the forest, he felt a little closer to GOD and felt God was actually listening
So he asked “God are you listening”
And a huge deep voice replied “Yes my son I am here”.

The man was a little convinced but still wondering if this voice was God’s and then pondering a little
with some curiosity he continued.

“God what is a million years to you?”
And then the voice replied “Well my son, a second to me is like a million years to you”

The guy continued walking and pondering on how he needed money so badly, looks up in the
sky and says “God what is a million dollars to you?’’.

And then the voice replied again “my son, a million dollars to me is like a penny. It has
 no value and to me that is so little.

The guy ( being an Ibo man) without thinking quickly looks up in the sky and said “God, can I have a million dollars please, since that is so little to you?’’.

And then the voice replied “wait just a second”.
The guy quickly recalling screams  ''a second, hope that ain’t a million years!!!!’’
(thinking deeply in his thoughts and saying to himself, "n nah man! this must be the devil ").

Muah!! I love Sundays, pretty cool day to have a swell time resting staying indoors, hanging out
or visiting the cinema’s whichever way you love it, enjoy the weekend....... (lol )

9JAAA AT FIFTY ONE !!!


Hey everyone (Smiles)

Waving the Flag (Green White green)
I would say it’s nice to be a patriotic citizen , hmmm!!!! if just for October 1st.  Even the Boko Haram guys were patriotic ‘cause I actually heard no news of bombing scenes around 9ja (lol).

Okay let’s recite the new national anthem. Stand up wherever you are……as long as you be NaijA.

Whether you have a Blue, Brown, Purple, Pink, Yellow, Wine, Grey, Green, Orange or Black passport (Afghanistan my version).

NATIONAL ANTHEM:

Arise o Compatriots,
Jonathan’s call Obey,
To chop our fatherland,
With Fork and Spoon and Knife.
The labours of our heroes past,
Shall bring us Ghana must go,
With love and for our own children’s life,
One nation bound with PDP,
Patience and Plenty foreign trips.

Hip Hip Hip, Huraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!!!! (lol!)

Hey it’s damn good to be fifty One. Reminiscing on what stories we heard while growing up , from civil wars,  military constant drama’s of coup d’état  to Moshood Abiola’s political tussle for his mandate and the rebirth of democracy. Kind of freaky what 9ja went through  and is still standing as a united nation( wow!).

Guess what!!!! Congratulations to all my national friends representing for 9ja wherever, making something great with what you’ve got, time...Celebrate our nation @ fifty One.( abi you get another one) lol.

Good People, Great Nation..( strictly 9ja!)
