Hello Twam, lol Yes I have also been infected by twilingo.. Its so sad! I love twitter though! if you are on it, follow me. http://twitter.com/Lohi_O Anyways this is gonna be a very very random post. broken into parts

Firstly, we finally have a president, after almost 3months of Yaradua"being absent" on health related issues, Vice president Jonathan Good luck was appointed president on 02/10/2010. Maybe the new presidents name would bring us some luck... cos we need it badly!

In relation to Nigerians. So DC/MD based American-Nigerian artist Wale dropped a video for two of he's singles this week. And my twitter timeline, my facebook Updates, even blogger had all these folks screaming and shouting bout how great Wale is because he was repping Naija to the fullest and blah blah in the video/song. Well I beg to differ Mr Oluwale was on 106&park that night and premiered only he's Pretty girls video on there. however later that night @8ish via twitter, he did an online premiere for My sweetie. Now I am not mad at him for choosing one over the other(money maker over personal choice)but I am pissed at all the praise a very mediocre video if i might add is getting from the Nigerian community (at least online). I visit www.notjustok.com everyday right before I go to bed(weird) and you need to read some comments to understand were I am coming from.The venom and hatred with which some people on that site criticize Nigerian videos and music et el, is amazing. They forget to understand that Nigerian music and video's are done by novice's, with less opportunities and equipments available to them compared to alot of this yankee acts. But these same people were so quick to give Wale praise for he's fake ass video.. is it because he has been "endorsed" by the American crowd.. #EFFOUTTAHEREWITHTHAT!

also in relation to the maga no need pay video. (Yes I have to write my own two cents)I cant believe different people are trying to even justify 419 in this day and age. Please if you haven't, go on www.notjustok.com and read the comments under that video, and you would weep for Nigeria. If my generation is still thinking that way. writing things like "life is hard back home" and "do you know if these boys have tried looking for a job" as enough excuses to go into 419? then we have a very very long way to go. The day I read the comments I cried and officially gave up on Nigeria.

Sad News today The most amazing designer(IMHO)died today. (iLove twitter, with its up to the minute news.) I was very very sad. Its amazing how alot of very creative minds are always very troubled. I read he's mum passed away as well last week, so he was going through depression... Its a very sad day in the Fashion world.
