Valentines day: LOL!!

Image
Don't overthink when I say that I had a great weekend. Surprisingly it was not even as a result of anything extraordinary or one of those expensive sit outs. The fact that I was eager to face a new day after the whole experience got me thinking and reaching out for my device to enable me put my thoughts down and gladly share it with you all.  NIB Special Valentine Season   Feel the Magic Here I have never given much thought to the adage: laughter is the best medicine. With Covid-19 refusing to leave us alone, the tradition of attending comedy events now seems like a suicide mission. Besides, laughing behind a face mask just no make sense. 

Nikky's Diary - 17 Again?

Image
Getting to where I am today took a lot of will power. Better still, I should say that the turn my life took is a surprise I am still trying to get used to. Some people might say; is it not Nikky? I know her story nah. My response will always be a Laugh out Loud (LOL). Nwanne you don't know nothing.

Nollywood and The New Thrill

Image
Today, I saw another gory news of a young girl dismembered by her teenage boyfriend and I asked myself; what is going on? How did we get to this stage? Our teenagers are now engaging in this false belief called "money making rituals"!!!  I am vexed and won't dwell on this issue. I won't go for the usual target; our near comatose government nor would I point accusing fingers at our failing family system. My focus will be on our dear Nollywood as a public educator. Research has shown that Television, and other media devices, influence children and in extension, the society. Children who constantly view violent programs, movies or clips have a tendency to become more insensitive, violent, aggressive and most times, depressed.

It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. Tony Robbins ________________________________ Location: Maurice's Compound “Maurice! Maurice, I know you can hear me!” Eric was flanked by a handful of his ferocious-looking squad, all clad in their usual red-and-black uniforms of various designs. It was nearly midnight, and they stood before a modern brick bungalow surrounded by neatly trimmed shrubs and flowers. Bright lights mounted on the exterior walls illuminated the grounds, casting enough glare for Eric to see through the open sliding windows that the house was occupied. Some of his men peeled off toward the backyard while others took up positions along the flanks, every one of them wielding clubs and machetes. Eric took in the compact building, which was clearly undergoing renovations judging by the sharp scent of fresh paint and the wet sheen on the front porch walls. A frown creased his brow as memory tugged at him—recalling the early days when they had f...

Christmas: How My First Career Ended

Image
Old Post I always look back with nostalgia to my teen years back in the 90s. Nikky Christmas was fun on another level back then especially because it was a time for eating delicious delicacies, wearing your Christmas cloth, enjoying a bottle of drink alone instead of sharing it with others, watching masquerades and dance troupes to exhibit their skills. My big dream was to join a masquerade group and get to be the masquerade. So i was excited when some boys in my class who also lived on my street decided to form a masquerade group and asked me to join them. My dream was coming true and I gladly became a member. We turned into designers and picked rafia from the bush, colored, sewed them together to make a garment for our masquerade.

Victory is always possible for the person who refuses to stop fighting. - Napoleon Hill. --------------------- Location: Chairman's Compound “Stranger? Yesterday? That's impossible. We’ve had none recently. Besides, my men would have informed me if anybody came into town.” “Are you trying to say that I'm lying?” “No, sir! You know I respect you a lot, but this info...” Eric faltered, but quickly recovered. “Everybody in this community knows I don’t joke with my job. We dey always know anything wey dey happen for this town! Nothing escapes us.”

My white Christmas tale

Image
Hello Nikky, I love the pictures you have been sharing with us this season. But I just want to share this my first experience Of White Christmas with you and everyone. As a teenager, I always loved watching or seeing Hollywood Christmas movies especially on Hallmark movies Channel. Its something I looked forward to every Christmas. The best part was always the part they play in the snow, build snow men or when I hear stuff like; "its white Christmas!" I remember I used to wish we had snow during Christmas in Naija. I would have given anything to convince God to change our yeye harmattan to winter.

The body says what words cannot.”           —  Martha Graham __________________________ Unknown Location Stanley reached out for her as his breath caught in his throat; she had no hair extensions or weaves, not as if she needed any of that fake stuff other women used, with hair so silky and magnificent. Its perfection was almost obliterated by the tiny sticks and leaves stuck in it, so he ran his fingers gently through the pitch-dark tangled tresses, freeing them of the debris and slowly massaging her scalp. Dapper’s bleary eyes widened briefly before snapping shut. Her trembling body ran cold, as if she had been dumped into the village lake very early in the morning at the peak of the harmattan season. She drew in a quick breath as a different level of fear gripped her stricken heart.
