The Escape...

Pic credit: wordpress.com I held back my tears as we kissed for the last time. He held on, I held on. The longing in his eyes called out to my soul. It had being a sizzling week, a week of not being the boring attorney who had no life outside the walls of the courtroom, the frigid Mary who never had time for fun.   It was a week of being Paula Banks; the single, fun loving air hostess who was on vacation for the first time since she got her job. Paula who could walk down the beach of a glorious and romantic Island naked; the limitless Paula who danced all night, sang like a bird, hiked fiercely, loved softly and never got high from rounds of liquor with him; the stranger I met at the bar on my first night at the hotel. His name was Brian. A business man who needed a break from work. A work and life he was not eager to reveal to a Paula.

I fell in love again

Image
Soucre:thea.care I fell in love again but it was the hard way. That kick was different and precise. Our trip to the hospital the previous day was futile as the doctor had sent us back for reasons I could not understand. I rubbed my stomach as I tried to get up from our garden chair. Another kick and suddenly I felt a strange sensation running down my legs followed closely by another sharp pain. I screamed out for my husband. He rushed out and gave me the most disorientated look I had ever seen. He didn't know what to do with, to or for me. All the tutorial on how to assist your wife during labor flew out of his head. It felt like someone was twisting my guts and would not let go. Before I knew it, I was drowning in my own fluid. I screamed again, out of fear and grabbed my husband by the shirt. I can remember yelling at him; " Nnamdi what have you done to me! " A bang on the door distracted me and he slipped away. He came back with Mama Ejiro, our nosey, I

YES YES YES!

I said yes Nikky. I said yes yes yes to his proposal. We had friends in common and eventually became just friends. Somehow, he became my motivator, confidant, comedian, my fresh juice business sponsor and adviser (since I didn't have a job, he encouraged me to start something and I did). When his office transferred him to another city, he became my telephone pal and although I was forming no feelings because i knew he would never be mine, I still  couldn't help but trip for this remarkable gentleman.

My Movie Review

Image
Due to popular demand, here is a candid review of our favorite movie Chief Daddy Director: Niyi Akinmolayan Producers: Temidayo Abudu, Queen Martins See the cast here:  Full Cast The movie is a comedy that centers on Chief Beecroft (played by Taiwo Obileye) fondly called Chief Daddy (who in my opinion died too early in the movie) and the scramble for his wealth by his various dependents.  With the broadcast of the news of his death, we are dramatically exposed to the life of the generous Chief, his amorous past and affluence enjoyed by his immediate family, numerous mistresses and their children; domestic servants and extended family who swamped his mansion in their desperate attempt to secure a piece of his estate to the devastation of his surviving glamorous wife (played by Joke Silva) and rapper wannabe son (played by Falz; supposed heir to his fortune. His hit single in the movie would leave you reeking with laughter).  

CHIEF DADDY, CHIEF DADDY!!

Chief Daddy (Movie Review)

Image
Chief Daddy! Chief Daddy! That was how I went to see that movie oo. The lobby of the Cinema was filled with eager youths, parents and children. At first I thought it was a Crusade or a tournament...probably the super Eagles were playing a match. I was wondering;  "warris happening here?" I joined the very long queue and was feasting my eyes on all the nude and semi nude, the handsome and wannabe guys and girls when one hoarse voice said;  "NEXT! Welcome Madam." It was my turn to be attended to. I looked up and smiled at the frowning face of a smallie;  Why would a sales rep be frowning  like this? "Maybe them never pay am salary" I thought to myself. Oh well, he won't use his own to spoil my fine mood; "Chief daddy ticket for 2 please!"
