An Honourable Member
Yesterday was about my male best friend.Today’s candidate in my family and friend series is a lady of substance depending on how you look at it. She appears friendly and nice on first contact, first impressions really matters. This lady I have known for almost a life time, she is bold and beautiful. She is married with 6 children, 4 girls and 2 boys.
Nickname: “Lolo” that means a wife of a titled chief, okay anyone with money can actually buy a title to improve their social status. In fairness to her apart from being a Lolo through bought title she was a real princess by birth her dad was a well known and respected king. Dad is late now but mom is still alive.

Profession
This part is kind of tough; she is in the medical field, a lawyer, business owner, contractor and a politician. She is a trained medical officer who is very good at her job but because of greed, want to be a jack of all trade, thereby becoming a master of none. I don’t really have problem with someone doing many things at a time I am only concerned in how good they are at them. She was a medical officer before she got married at a tender age of 18; she was an intelligent smart student, who loves caring for sick patients. Was it marriage that changed her? She studied law after having 6 children; she was in school with 3 of her children although only 1 was in the same university and department with her. She wanted to become a lawyer in order to pursue her political career, I wonder where it is said that you have to become a lawyer before joining politics. Prior to this she had ventured into many businesses which failed, as far as I am concerned business is not for everybody. Business ventures such as: a wholesaler of some well known brand of soft drinks, supermarket, hotel and restaurant, drug store, estate management. All which collapsed after awhile due to poor management, I almost forgot she has 2 gas stations properly still functioning. She held the contract of supplying the state government house with their entire diesel. They later awarded her husband the contract of renovating the government house. She is one of the reasons I hate politics okay honestly I hated politics way back partly because of my father.

Political ambition:
She has been elected as one of the legislators’, I won’t say more than that but I can say that the election was rigged without which she wouldn’t stand a chance of winning. She wanted to win by all means it was her life; not that she had the interest of the masses at heart but just because of her own selfish aims. I don’t discuss politics or anything related to it in forums, but how can I when some of the bad eggs are people close to me. What difference will my opinion make since it won’t change them? So I see it as total waste of my time and energy. In my high and honest opinion; she doesn’t have anything worthwhile to contribute in the political arena.

Family life
As a wife and a mother she has failed woefully in that department, in her bid to acquire wealth she has neglected this important aspect of her being. She provided her kids with almost everything expect that one important thing every growing kid needs; a loving and warm environment. There are a lot of fighting and quarrelling in front of the children. Her family made marriage unattractive in my growing up years. Most of all I think she married the wrong man, they are happy only when they are apart. The husband chases after anything in skirt. It is a marriage made in hell.

“Success is not a key to happiness; happiness is a key to success”

What do we have in common?
We are women, we are married, we have children and we know each other.
Internet I live online, I doubt if she knows where that is. One of the reasons that I can write anything here; I can bet my last dime that there is no chance in this world she will be reading this post anytime in this century. I didn’t want to write a long post like this I promise to keep it short next time with the family and friends series. Please what do you think I was too harsh?

I didn’t intend to start my family and friend series with him, then why am I doing it? Yesterday was his birthday, he has reached that stage when men have mid life crisis, hopeful it won’t be that bad.
Nickname: “Mister 1 hour” I gave him that funny name because he spends an average of 1 hour in the bathroom every morning. I said average because it could be more or less.
Where we differ
1. His blood pressure rises when under stress or over stressed
Mine remains constant no matter the situation.
2. He is still sceptical about online shopping
It makes my life a lot easier.
3. Agitated under pressure
I am at my best under pressure calm and collected
4 He can go to bed by 9pm and sleeps through the night
If am in bed my 2am that will be early
5 He is a morning person
I am a night person
6 He is a perfectionist well good for him
At least I still do my stuff well
7 He is a man and I am a woman
I tried very hard to get it to 10 things

His Work:
He is happy in his area of specialisation as per his job. He has been on the same job for 14 years he started in the telecommunication section, then data communication before moving to the production control. He doesn’t play with his work although he goes to work late almost on regular basis He is a perfectionist which could be very annoying to me sometimes. He has a typical male brain which does not allow him to multitask; for instance he can’t put on his shoes or brush his hair while listening to news. This is where we are complete opposite; I can be watching my favourite soap opera, talking on the phone and be cooking at the same time.
Fashion sense:
He is a power dresser but wait it has not always been like that, one of the reasons why I didn’t connect with him when I first met him was his bad dress sense. Well I saw potentials; he has a body well carved to adorn clothes. He spends more money than some women in buying body care products.

What we have in common:
4 sons, happiness, laughter, love, marriage, we both love King’s woman, perfumes, trustworthy, kind, and dependable.We respects each others privacy,that way he won’t be checking everything i do with my money.Next will be one of my sisters or a friend ,you won’t want to miss that one.
My sweetheart.His best attribute is that he supports every of my dreams,both spiritually and of course financially.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY! You are my hero.

My blog posts are becoming too boring, so I thought that I should do some fun things to liven it up for you my friends. I don’t know if my friends and family are going to like what am about to do, that is if they get to read my blog.

“There comes a point in your life when you realize who really matters, who never did, and who always will.”

This idea came to me because of a discussion I had with husband 2 days ago. I went to make gold pendant in my friends names translated in Korean alphabets as a special gift from Korea. After ordering them I realised that I didn’t know one of my friends full name, getting home I told my best friend why I couldn’t make one for that particular friend of mine. He couldn’t understand how I will not know her full name somebody who has been friend for so long. Well that is the difference between me and so many other people that I have met. In honour to those my friends I am going to try to write what I can remember about them that made them so unique to be able to tolerate me. Should I start with friends or family? Should I mention names? Add their photos? You all know that I am blunt but I will try to be nice. I have met different types of people that became friends with me although we are not on the same page. I am going to tell you how and when I met each of them, I am so excited about this I do have some funny nicknames for most of them. I have to go to bed now so stay tuned to get the whole scoop. You might like to subscribe to my RSS on the right side of this page just under my photo,be the first to read about it in your email.

In our every day life,there are little things to make one laugh.It is very important for us to have a good laugh at things around us,at ourselves.My kids have funny ways of falling asleep,eating,saying things.I woke up this morning laughing to myself,I remembered last week Saturday my husband and I were trying to sneak out of the house to go the fish market.You might be wondering why we have to sneak out,well it was because of our son Kachi he is always on the look out for anyone going outside the house.On this faithful day as we were going out in our hurry my husband forgot to wear his shoes we didn’t notice it untill we were in the elevator already going down.I couldn’t believe my eyes when i looked down and saw his stockings legs without shoes.Luckily for us he always have a pair of sneakers in the car.When we got downstairs,coming out of the elevators we met some guys there,luck again was on his side because they were all men,in fact one of them was his colleague so he has to exchange greetings with him , while i was hoping the guys won’t look down and see his shoeless feet.I laughed at him till we got where we were going , trust me when i got home i told my first son Chinedu about it and we all had a good laugh.
Yesterday when we got back from a picnic,everybody was very tired I slept off in front of the computer;i didn’t hear when my husband came back and scared the hell out of me everyone busted out laughing.Poor Kachi see how he feel asleep while still holding a piece of unfinished cookie in his hand.

This one is my twins sleeping on each other.Everyday is fun and there are alot more to come,so come back to check them out.
