Maybe Not Teaming Up...Call it: INVESTING IN OTHERS!!!

Hey peops, in continuation of my post:teaming up, I got intelligent responses from Aloted , Myne Whitman , Enkay , Spesh(My World) , Leggy and GNG What I was made to understand is that as much as teaming up sounds nice, it may actually be a very dangerous and income wasting adventure... May be I called it the wrong name then 'cos what I meant was investing in another person's business ... for instance if my friend Jane has a great business idea and she's done the maths and it adds up to profit, if she needs money for this venture of hers, and I have it, then I will invest in her based on: 1.Integrity...what I mean is, I need to know how Jane's character is, will she swindle me at the last minute? Will she lie to me about the profit that has been made in other to reduce my dividend? ...When she says good morning is it actually 9pm by the clock? will she kill me?...okay that i s extreme but it happens...at least you get my drift? 2.Viability of the project/Business.

Teaming Up!!!

This post was inspired by a game and Favoured Girl ...babe you rock and the sky is not the Limit...it is the publisher's loss !!! I played a game that thought me most of the time,the fastest way out of the rat race is to "team up" with people to pull a deal through when the opportunity shows up...Especially when the opportunity is a big one...yes you guessed right, the name of the game is Cash Flow and it is so apt in explaining real life business(es) (I stand to be corrected). I know other factors come into play in real life but I believe they are factors/issues that can be ironed out without friction... All I'm trying to do is use this medium to say that if you have a great, rat race exiting,impact making,nation building,product/service generating,life/future changing idea, then team up!!! I'm totally game! PS What are the adverse effects of teaming up? Why do people shy away from teaming up? Are there unwritten rules about this? If teaming up is so effective

Mo Sope Temi!!! (I give thanks)!!!

Glory be to God in the highest...I testify that God is good all the time o! My people how una dey? life,work,business,school et al? E don tey wey I put this thankfulness post up o...but God knows I'm thankful from the depth of my heart...in fact over thankful dey worry me sef!!! I was on my way to some place outside London when I missed my train...kai I thought to myself...Jesu! not again!!! Then I told God there and then that I didn't want to pay a dime for charges upgrade or whatever they choose to call getting extra cash off me! I hollaed at some of my peops...to agree with me..FG you rock...thanks Rethot! And guess what? God showed up!I was overwhelmed people,actually overwhelmed is an understatement, my throat was constricting and I almost cried at God's faithfulness...All I did was speak His words to Him o and He honoured His words...I was amazed...I still am... This made me realise that if I can have mad faith for the little things, then I can up my game and have mad

Calling Me?...Dude Your Game Is Lame!!!

Day 1: Call @ 11:46p.m...chat about everything and nothing in particular...rush off the phone and say good bye :-). Day 2: Call me about the same time 11:45p.m...to apologise for sounding so sleepy yesterday, go on and on about nothing, then ease off the phone again almost like yesterday but a li'll bit slower... Day 3: I'm on to your game and guess what, your game is lame...is this what you call "softening her up"...well I'm afraid it is having the very opposite effect! lol...I no be small pikin so please up your game...I await your next move with much pleasure...let's see how you like it served...hot or cold? Calling me and telling me trash!!! What's with that? say what you have to say and leave me alone in peace... I went down this route a while back with this same you and got my nails(not fingers) burnt...thankfully they grew back! You really tried your best, but I'm sorry to burst your bubble, you didn't do any damage whatsoever...not because

You're Sovereign

Do you ever wonder what exactly God is up to in your life?...especially when you feel like barbecue chicken being turned in the grill...Well I'm feeling that way right now!!! I remember His words that says even when I pass through fire, He is with me. Sometimes I can't figure Him out but that makes Him sovereign...I guess it's true then that we know in part and prophesy in part. I feel like I am being pressed but not crushed,persecuted but not abandoned and struck down but not destroyed ... but the end is I WIN...head or tail!!!

The Pressure To Impress

Sometimes it is had to not want to impress...personally speaking, I contend with the pressure to impress in various aspects of my life!!! Especially with regards to family, the truth is whether you want to admit it or not, there are some people we seek validation and approval from in our lives. for instance, if a random human being tells me I will amount to nothing, I'll just look at the fellow in the eye and tel him he is chatting rubbish! but if a member of my nuclear family says the exact thing to me, I will take it on board and actually, think/wonder why a statement like that was made. I reckon the reason we all seek approval is because we've been created to be relational beings and there are some people in our circle of relationship who's opinion we hold very dear. Then there is the pressure to impress people like friends,neighbours etc. because we want to "keep up with the Joneses"...I personally think this is sheer stupidity especially when you're just

Blog savvy!

Okay this is a cry for help...in a way...I've been trying to spice up my blog I've tried a bit (even if I say so myself!)...but I think I can do more than my "comfort zone" Technically I'm an illiterate or a minor idiot(not permanent) when it comes to this things... 1.I want to change my template but I have no idea i.e I am clueless...to an extent. 2. I want to post audio blogs...but I have no idea whatsoever!!! 3. I would love to update my blog from my BB, is there a faster way of doing this apart from typing my post on memo pad, then copying and pasting it on my blog via BB browser? 4. I still don't get twitter...is it me...or are there bloggers in my shoes? 5. Let me know of other tech savvy ways to spice up my blog (pleeeease)...I want my blog to be hawtre like fire!!! You get me?...any ideas...thanks people!!!

Thankfulness...

It's been a while since I gave thanks on here...I'm always thankful regardless but I'm happy to put this up now!!! I am thankful: 1.To a God who looks beyond my occassional inconsistencies and unfaithfulness to bless me consistently and care for me faithfully. 2. GNG...you're an inspiration!!! Your consistency in giving thanks weekly is admirable and seriously motivating! 3.Trials of various kinds 'cos I know that the end is...I WIN!!! It is an opportunity for great joy...any witness in blogville? 4. A God that says what He means and means what He says.He is the only constant in a changing world. 5. This walk with Christ...it is a revealing journey...I tell you. I may fall several times but I will surely rise again. I don't understand how a Great God can love an undeserving mere man...I can't comprehend the depth of Your love,but I am just thankful 'cos without you I am nothing. 6.I am thankful for the forgiveness of my many sins!!! The legalistic devil

Naija for lyfe(2)

Happy Belated Birthday Nigeria, I am proud to be a citizen but I know we have work to do... Please stop the blame game, it sucks... I am not impressed and I know that many of the Nigerians home and abroad feel the same way. Why,When and how did we get to this point? Divorce is rife,electricity or lack of it is high and bribery and corruption has increased geometrically! Why are we like this,my heart aches for Nigeria and it hurts. We don't care about each other,it's a dog eat dog world out there. Politicians promise heaven and earth only to get to the seat of power to loot all they can get out of the nations purse. When two elephants fight,the grass suffers...and so it has been with ASUU and the government with the students bearing the brunt of it all. We criticize the government but we are not ready to do right ourselves. The government goes on and on about keeping the law and abiding by the rules,but they kill it themselves...question is are we falling into a state of anarchy

Intellectual Indolence!!!

Now I know what is wrong with me!!! :-) yeah it is the topic of this post...intellectual indolence...I have been mentally lazy...fabulously doing absolutely NOTHING!!! I pick up a small book that I should normally read within a couple of days and it stays in my bag for like a month or two. Thinking of writing a business plan makes me feel weary....I wonder what the actual writing will do to me!!! But I'm back now...I hope...I think I need to be "mentally flogged" out of this laziness....it is doing me no good!!! I hung out with Aloted and Fg and my oh my!!! Have I got word for you guys? those gals are loaded with wisdom...and I'm not even joking... Gals it was really wonderful spending time with y'all and we should definitely do that again... Now that my brain is coming alive again(can you imagine being "brain lazy" for such a long time and working around like a zombie? seriously can someone feel me on this?)...I intend to update regularly and read more!

Unplanned Post

Don't know why I can't put my thoughts to paper regularly this days... There's so much to talk about yet I find it difficult to log on and just put a post up. I learnt that at the end of the day, opinions will always differ...we are not meant to be uniformed, we're meant to be united... I haven't really been faithful with regards to my resolutions for the year...*sighs*...nevertheless, I'm trudging on...I'm a soldier! Now that I finally sign in to put a post up,my brain is freezing on me...I'll sort that out. Anyways I know you're all doing well...have a brilliant week and stay focused! Oh that reminds me, I heard about the banking industry brouhaha and seriously...its been a long time coming...I can't explain how I feel about the whole thing but I know this is another case of "obedience being better than sacrifice"! Imagine all the embarrassment they could have avoided...anyways I'll leave that for now... BRB

Thankfulness and Koko Mansion

My week has been great and I'm looking forward to the weekend and Vera's show ...!!! Koko Mansion ends on Sunday and I've been an ardent viewer!!! Annnyways I'll leave that for now...back to my being thankful... I am thankful that God hasn't put a limit on me and my abilities... Man will always place a limit on me and my abilities but the truth is we've been created with NOLIMIT and you can take that to the bank! I am truly thankful that even when I say Lord I CAN'T... He says: with Me, ALL things are possible...isn't that wonderful...All things are possible with GOD! Now to KOKO MANSION Ok....Call it what you like 'cos you are entitled to your opinion of the show...and so am I!!! I've heard so much criticism of this show that at this point in time, I should just "shamefacedly" shut down and let

I've been watching Koko Mansion and I'm enjoying the show!!! Hee hee hee...I think I should put a post up on this...wht do you guys think? Anyways...please read on and thanks for coming to my blog!! Shalom Confessions of a London girl: Do you see yourself ever giving up blogging cos of someone else? In one word NEVER!!! If (and that is a serious If) I ever decide to give blogging up, it will be on my own terms! D.B...1.What would you do differently in your life if you had the chance to live it all over again and why? Can’t remember the person that said we don’t regret what we do, we only regret what we did not do I guess if I had the chance to live it all over again, I’ll get connected to God on time and party more!!! 2. Has your cover ever been blown and how did you consider reacting? Wel

Been A While...But I'm Still Thankful...

Hey blogfam...it's your gal NoLimit... here again!!!I presume you're all doing very well...may I use this opportunity to wish you all a happy new month,prosperous new quarter and a wonderful half year!!! It's amazing how life goes by so quickly...one second it was March and before I could say Jack Robinson, We're almost hitting the end of the year...awesome!!! There's so much to blog about and so little time to blog...*sighs* I should have posted the response to the questions y'all asked that I've been evading for a while now...it doesn't speak well of my integrity as an individual so I'm gonna do what is right and respond right after giving thanks to the Mighty Almighty who's unmerited favour keeps flowing my way 24/7 ! I am thankful for you guys for being ever so wonderful and for being there for me...you know yourselves...tag yourself accordingly!!! I am also thankful for God's mercies that endures forever...and is new every morning...but

9ja to the Core(2)

Abuja was the bomb...I've said this and I'll say it again...if there's any where I'll love to live in Naij, it is most definitely ABJ!!! I officially met Writefreak and it was awesome!!!She's a babe...as in B-A-B-E...lucky hubby :-) We went to wonderland together and that was MARd fun. I visited all my regular joints and was sure to check yahooza out for that special blend of kilishi they make like no other(yummy). All in all my trip was wonderful and yes my head is back from the clouds where it was stuck for a while. I kept hearing questions like No-Limit when are you coming back, aren't you coming back bladdy bladdy bla...well I will...in God's time abi? Right this second, I know I am where God wants me to be(yes seriously)...plus relocation involves major planning(No Kidding!!!)... I still love my Naija...btw a friend of mine told me I have blind love/loyalty for Nigeria, he is Nigerian and can't seem to understand why I always have something positi

9ja to the Core(1)

Greetings from the motherland...it was a highly successful trip and I'm glad everything went according to plan... The weddings,birthdays and various parties was worth my ticket fare...lol Well I really don't know where to start from, but I'll start from somewhere... Lagos Lagos was a pleasant surprise!!!no joke on that! I'll start from the airport...on previous occasions that I've landed at MM airport, the stale smell emanating from every corner would have made an able bodied man pass out...but to my delight...this was not so, instead it was cool breeze(air conditioner)...there and then, I knew I was in for a good time in Naija!!! I was meant to meet up with Stand Tall(I apologise sis I will call you) and Rethot(He disappeared into thing air!!!)...But ended up failing to do so...Next time I'm in lag...I will plan it better... Let me just put it this way...Lagos is more beautiful than I've seen it in ages...what ever strategy Fashola is using is working like

Reporting live from Nigeria

I am proud to say that preparing for this trip is one of the few times I haven't ran around like a headless chicken plus I didn't miss my flight this time around...I would have gone ballistic on my self if I had...what am I even saying...I am now very time conscious thank you!!!... paying extra cash for a flight booked in advance does that to your psyche remember I said "I changed with a capital C" !!! Hello blogville and how have you all been? It's been a wonderful holiday for me...so far and I pray it remains so...I am happy to tell you that the Internet service is actually not as slow as the last time time I came to 9ja...you can tell I am totally thankful for that particular miracle...awesome!!! The first thing I did on landing on naija soil was to go to university of suya @ Allen avenue for loads of suya...hmmmm...tew delicious...and I've been visiting all the mama puts I can lay my eyes on...(highly recommended ones of course)... Did I tell you Lagos

Naija in a minute...

Hey Peops...this is as random as it gets...I am excited and high as a kite!!! I'll be off to naija in a minute and I am so looking forward to the sunshine and humid air!!!:-)... Well like you all know, internet in naija is as slow as they come so I may not be able to update "regularly"...(Like I've been faithful in that department of late...mscheeew)...anyways...I will update in a bit....ciao

Judging A Book By It's Cover

Image
Sometimes we meet people and assess them based on their outward appearance...to our own detriment!!! Yes our own detriment because this act in it's self is absolutely unwise..."pun intended"!!! Yours truly is guilty of this from time to time...We sometimes have the tendency to want to box people into compartments we've created for them in our minds... So a guy who's trousers refuses to cooperate with the force of gravity(lol) is not cool and when a girl wears a scandalous outfit, that makes her a slut.... Gibberish I say!!! Absolute nonsense...it does not work that way...trust me, I should know... A recent global case is that of the beautiful singer Susan Boyle ...I watched the clip on You Tube and when she said she wanted to be as famous as a well known singer,everyone right down to the judges snickered at her and thought she was just another joker...when she opened her mouth to sing, she became a HIT at the cute age of 47!!!(Another blog topic for another day...

The Art of Being Thankful...

Hey peops...how have we all been? hope you had a great weekend like I did...ish!!! Well I may have missed some weeks out on the thankfulness post, but I sure ain't gonna stop thanking...as usual, I have a host of sturves to be thankful and here we go...in no particular order... I am thankful for... My Naija Peops...I count myself highly blessed to have my naija connection...My friends and families who come around ever so often...They bring me all the 9ja sunshine,movies magazines,food and what have you...I am also able to touch base with Naija through them...from time to time...I'll be lying if I say they don't get on my last nerves atimes...but then, I love them to bits... Resurrection...I love this man called Jesus...this man overlooked my fault,ignored the scornful and angry fingers I pointed at him and went through the hell I should have gone through...even to the point of becoming a curse so that I NoLimit can be a blessing...Then He became poor that I may be rich...th

The King(Queen) that I am!

To be honest, Staying focused is not the easiest "feat" to perform!!! In the past 4-6 weeks, I've been struggling to stay on top of my game and I must be real with y'all...it's been extremely tough...with a capital T!!! Hello blogville...did I tell youl how much I've missed you?...Well I just did!!!...I totally heart you guys...back to my yarnz... You know how you just want to let go,let lose and stay under and just go with the flow and allow the current of life to take you wherever,whenever,however... (more like burying my head in the sand and just allowing opportunities and dangers to pass me by)... But when I think of the fact that great peops don't go with the flow(I stand to be corrected!), I just chin up and encourage me to keep afloat...but meeen...it is T-O-U-G-H!!! Who said the road will be easy anyways?(road to success that is...) Reminds me of the lyric in TD Jakes/Donnie McClurkin Collabo... There's a king(Queen) inside of me, S/He's th

Guilty As Charged

Hey peops...have missed you guys like crazy? I really and truly have missed blogville and blogging!!! Okay the usual excuse is "I've been busy" etc...but the truth is...I've been busy...but I really don't have any excuse to NOT blog!!! that makes me guilty...forgive me plz! shout out to GNG who woke me up from slumber...I will definitely respond to the questions you guys asked in the last post in a bit... I need to have a face off with some one in the next few hours...yes you read right...a face off... Been procrastinating for a while but truth be told, a girl has got to do what a girl has got to do! It is not a major issue, it is just an obstacle that needs to be cleared in the way of good friendship. My birthday was sometime last week and I had a fab time! Oh.. that is still not an excuse for not posting for 2 long weeks... It is year end around here and the accounts need to sorted..."sighs"...can't wait to see the end of it!!!

Ask Me A Question And I'll Tell You No Lie? + Thankfulness Post

Hey Peops, Like I said in my last post ,yesterday was my one year blogversary and 50th post... I asked for advice on what to do to celebrate this significant landmark and Buttershizzle and Danny Bagucci (the designer...okay his name sounds like one so he's one!) suggested I do what others have done before i.e blogference where you all get to ask any question you want to ask... Ermm please be nice to me...don't ask me questions that will make my face go purple and make my fingers hover on the keyboard for ever for lack of what to say/type!pls abeg!!! And as usual I'm a thankful child and I'm really thankful for: 1.The grace and ability given to keep this blog for a year plus...after all today makes it 1yr+1day!!!...And I'm going stronger! 2.My wonderful friend E.A who is getting married and starting a new life in a new place in a minute... 3.Progress for my friends O.L and A.E...this girls rock and they are moving on in their lives...they're moving to other gr

It is also my 50th post in blogville...haaa I've come a long way baby! :-) Starting the blog wasn't an easy task I must say...but it sure has been worth my while...I have been blessed by all your posts and comments especially when I was down...which is few and far between...even if I say so myself...yeah you got it...I'm a die hard optimist and it takes a whole lot to weigh me down...like this morning when I almost cried 'cos I have to go to work...hee hee hee...lazy bones you say!!! Back to my yarnz...I've met wonderful people around here and I am amazed at the intelligence and talent y'all have...Reading through other people's blog atimes is a kind of therapy for me and I am encouraged to know that I am "normal"...ha! Okay I'll explain myself...it means you feel what I feel a

As the title aptly describes it, my post is about stupid gaffes I've made in my bearriful life! People that know me well...know that I don't get embarrassed easily...after all *who you be*! but what I'm about to relay to you made me want to enter the ground at that point in time...I remember two scenarios vividly! Scenario one ... At a place north of the equator,I just made friends with a handful of people and we were all chatting on and on... Then some nerdy looking guy walks past and I was like..."oh that guy is such a nerd...with his thick glasses and uncombed hair...I think I said something about him looking like someone that spent the weekend in the LAB... Then a very nice girl in my crew said...ohhh that's my brother...need I say that I started stammering and looking for words to cover my obvious blunder!!! Well I got introduced to him and I confessed my sins to him...brilliant chap he was... Scenario 2... I was on the lift with a man and a woman...the man s

Words can't express how thankful I am...But I am...

I am multitasking @ the moment!!! Preparing to go to work (arggghhhhhh!!! and putting up a new post!)...Good day my fellow blogville citizens...hope you had a great weekend like I did!!! Went for a Greek party and it was fantastic!!!...At least they've got rhythm... I am really and truly thankful for loads of sturves and I'll put that down in a minute... Here we go... I am thankful for... 1.Direction:Y'all remember CP(Chauvinistic Pig) well the guy was at it again recently...trying to blacken my image...oh no I didn't take him out to lunch(bad move) 'cos I was advised against doing so...(*note to self* next time obey when the HS drops something in your heart). I was actually told not to talk to him and just let him be...in retrospect, I realise that was a foolish advice! Thank God I summoned up the: courage,patience and humility to do so...otherwise work would have been a war zone for me...After have the "brief chat" with him, I found out it was just pe

So What Do You Think?

Hey peops, hope your week has been groovy!...I'm loving my new template,what do you think? Been thinking of blogging in pidgin for a while...and I think I may do just that in the next thankfulness post...what do you think? You know how people say naija is corrupt bladdy bladdy bla...I carried out a brief survey and asked some people what they'll do if their uncle,aunt,sister,brother,friend becomes a big shot in government....responses ranged from I'll relocate back to naija to be near the "seat of power" to "I'll go get me some contract" to "I'll make sure I get him/her to sort me out".... Then I remind them of what they said about naija being corrupt in the first place and they are speechless for a while before they start defending their action... Anyways I'm not knocking/judging or condemning anybody o...bottom line is...if you know you won't do better if you had the choice,then kindly "mechionu"* and stop proclaimin

I'm Still Thankful...

Hey peops, Here I am again with my thankfulness post...and I am glad I am finally able to update since Saturday...been a bit under the weather...just a bit...but I'm back now!!! Here we go: I am thankful for: 1.Journey Mercies: Like I said earlier, I went off to Paris and came back back in one piece!(In my mind I said:"duh were you meant to come back in disjointed pieces)...but y'all know all these planes and the way they crash or crash land!!!..no hitch whatsoever...I am thankful for that!!! 2.The opportunity to help:I also talked about helping out a random cute dude...there's just something about helping others(not because they are cute o!) that gives you this satisfaction...I can't explain it with words...especially when you're helping out on your own terms...I guess that's how God feels when He helps us on His own terms!!!...I'm my father's daughter after all ~wink~wink~ 3. Provision: Imagine I was d-e-d broke and didn't have a brass farthin

Randomness before the thankfulness plus the evil twin called procrastination and laziness!!!

Hola...long time no see y'all...I've missed y'all to pieces!!! Well... the reason for my AWOL on thankful Saturday is because your gurl was live in Paris over the weekend...proper short trip though...silly French consulate peops wouldn't give me more than 3days 'cos that was all my travel insurance covered!!! can you imagine...I paid about 60quid to get a 3day visa...MSCHEEEEWW(loooong hisss)! Paris was cool and I loved every second of it...but I must tell you it wasn't a very interesting start...which brings me to the twin evil(procrastination and laziness....) GNG I'm not kidding, I give procrastination a whole new meaning...or used to...cos after my experience on Saturday, I " changed " with a capital C !!! It all started on Saturday morning,I was good to go to the airport but decided to look for some inconsequential rubbish...seriously I can't even open my mouth to tell you what I spent over 20minutes to search for ...flight was some minut

Thankful Saturday V6

Hey peops, hope you all had a beautiful valentine's day...can't wait to hear from you guys on your hot and not so hot dates!:-) Was meant to put this up yesterday but couldn't 'cos NoLimit was busy soaking all the fun in the world up..."no dulling" at all!!!London was agog over this so called Valentine's day celebration!!!...People were busy exchanging spit(borrowing Verastic Vera's term) all over the place...some just needed to get a room men!*sniff*sniff* not that I'm beefing them o...:-)...but seriously I am still amazed that 50% of marriages in the UK end in divorce...yet people show so much PDA(Public Display of Affection)...God help us all! This thankfulness post has really helped me to see God in a new light...I am more conscious of happenings around me...by the way I just had a feeling of dejavu!!!...I think I've typed this before!lol ignore me... Yeah...where was I?...I am more conscious of my environment...I need to keep thanking Him

This Kain Snow!!!

I dressed up to go to work o! On my way I saw some kids building a snowman, I so longed to join them, I even saw a dog I thought was stuck in the snow!Only for me to perform my "James Bond to the rescue act" and the dog started running away from moi...pshewww it was enjoying the snow too...imagine and there I was going to work all kitted up for the weather...I was jealous of the stupid dog o! Anyways I decided to take the train and then the overground at the next station,found out on arriving at the next station that "severe delays" were reported on the overground...then I decided to go take the bus...quickly got coffee at star bucks to warm up my insides for the journey...only for me to discover that the bus services has been suspended for the day...I quickly racked my brain to check if I had any deadline...but thankfully I don't...quickly called the office to let them know work ain't happening but I'm "working from home" ...hee hee hee...you
