DON'T FORGET IT'S CHRISTMAS!

 

This is wishing every viewer who believes in the "REASON" for the "SEASON" a very merry CHRISTMAS!

And in case you did forget why it is Christmas...

...then dwell on this...

mankind was given a gift it does not deserve...

...the gift of God made flesh...

...so that we may tell the greatest love story ever...

...with the hope that we are a part of that story...

...that must have a "happy ever after" ending!

JESUS IS BORN!

Definitely a cause for celebration.

But not an excuse for us to loose our heads in the course of our celebrating!

Once again....

And just so you know...

...alexzanda's O.P.i. eagerly awaits the new year.

SO MAKE SURE I SEE YOU ON THE OTHER SIDE IN ONE GOOD PIECE!  

MY COLLECTOR'S COLLECTION

WHY MODELS MUST WEAR CRASH HELMETS!

(VIDEO)

It's official!

My posts on Wednesdays would henceforth be from my collection of all things beautiful found on other blogs, videos, pictures, creative write ups and of course “my facebook collections” series among others things that are OF PARTICULAR INTEREST to me.

You know it's not just enough for one to have a collection of artistic works and not have it displayed.

  

So today, since I can’t help it when I’m in a good mood, I decided to share the fun and hope you do catch it.

This is a video of a model who…

…don’t let me spoil the fun!  

WATCH IT!

And thank you, Chidi, for this!

you are wicked!

CHINUA ACHEBE: A STORYTELLER TOLD OF STORIES TOLD

 

 

 

 

A STORYTELLER TOLD OF STORIES TOLD

 

Born to dare unknown battles

“Chinualumogu” became one of his titles

An invocation of God to his plight

Of battles he still dares to fight

He may not be “A Man of the People”

To make his thoughts a scribble

To have shed light to the “Heart of Darkness“

And made us see some likeness

 

 

 

 

In reminding us that “There was a country”

Of which some consider an effrontery

Even homemade honours were undesirable

A stand against abuse of honours undeniable

In this age, he still scribbles bold

The storyteller that is 82 years old

 

 

 

 

 

A storyteller that told of stories told

Of what mother and sister said of old

From which he dug and found gold

Chronicled with over 8 million copies sold

“Things Fall Apart,” a storyteller told

On this Edochie found his hold

 

 

 

 

 

As an “Ebubedike” in nollywood’s fold

In Okonkwo’s world of old

But 50 cent was too bold

 

 

 

To assume it was all about the gold

He should be forgiven and be told

That An Africa heritage is more than gold

A heritage of stories told

Of a storyteller that told of stories told

A storyteller that is 82 years old
