BUNMILOFE'S MUSINGS

Good morning people, it's Tuesday already! Before we know it, it will be Friday. Now is the time to make this week count. I realised its been a while since I last brought you gist from my rendezvous with Lagos danfo busses and the associated drama. So I thought I'd serve you a fresh episode this bright Tuesday morning. I had just one plan for my ride to work this morning- sleep. I was going to get in a bus, get as comfortable as possible and snooze all the way to Falomo. And the plan was working out well. My position wasn't so bad, I could even recline without hurting my back. My legs were not complaining and my bag was firmly trapped on my laps. I closed my eyes, grateful for the moment and snoozed away.  For about five minutes.  Five minutes is all I got before the woman seated to my left decided the driver couldn't drive in peace. She wanted him on the fastest lane at all times and was ready to show him the way as a certified lane detector. The drive...

Trying to keep up with foreign policies and international politics(as I have dreams of being a big international investor soon), I researched into Brexit, considering the different sides to the story, the different schools of thoughts and all what not. I found a lot of interesting opinions but this conversation in the comment section of an article got me the most. Like seriously, what an analogy. Imagine calling a meeting of everyone you know or doing a press conference or open letter, announcing to them that you are no longer with your spouse and if they want to retain links with you, they must cut ties with them also. Too funny! On a lighter note though, imagine Brexit was Nigexit. Naija twitter-sphere would have exploded, memes everywhere. What about the blogs? Aunty Linda would probably make enough money to buy another mansion, this time in Wuse 2. Aunty Bella with all her informed 'commenters' would  have a filled day too, the comments will never end. Zikoko w...

You know that feeling when you have been hoping for something, looking forward to it and praying for it, then gbam, heaven sends you a smile and it happens. You feel on top of the world, certain that nothing can get in your way, the world looks good to you. For a few days, then you get used to that thing and want something new. Why are we like that? Why is our satisfaction threshold so limited. I remember the times I prayed for the things I have now, but amazingly, I sometimes catch myself complaining. Oh, this job is great but if only I didn't have to get up so early. Oh I love my husband but why does he have to watch so much football. Whoa, this car is the bomb, but it does not have a Bluetooth voice enhancer. Buts, buts, more buts. We always have buts. I do not totally think buts are terrible as I am a firm believer in the school of thought that you need a certain degree of dissatisfaction with your current situation to desire something better. And since no matter how g...

I saw this on Nigeriana today and I found it quite hilarious.  So, Durmet a Spanish company recently created the world's first ever cheater catching mattress that is capable of detecting unusual actions on the bed through installed censors and a contact zone detector. This means if your husband or wife executed some action while you are away, your bed will tell you when you return. Talk about technological aproko! I wonder if that thing will work in a place like Nigeria though. I mean, there are so many options to explore if you have cheating in your blood. What are the odds that you will take your cheating partner home to your matrimonial bed? We need some more personal detector that is probably attached to the person's body- a chip or something. A device that can tell you where your spouse is and what s/he is doing right now. Like a mobile CCTV installed on your spouse's body. That kind of thing.  It was just last week some lady on one of Jerry Springer...

You know how politicians and politically aware people eagerly await a new government’s 100 days in office? Publications highlighting the government’s achievements in the time frame, bearing assurances and fresh promises to silence wailing wailers flood the media. 100 days in office is usually a big deal. Since my husband is so into politics and so not into anniversaries, I decided to ignore our 3 months month-niversary and celebrate 100 days in marriage instead. Well, it didn’t quite work. And that’s perhaps where I should start. There are several things the bride does not hear before she becomes a wife. Many she is outrightly not told, others she is too happy or too busy to understand. Then she gets married and after the long awaited event, her ‘eyes clear’.  Sometimes, the giddy feeling lasts till the honeymoon is over, but when she returns home with her husband, reality hits. Even when the new wife has the most understanding husband and uninterested far-away in-...

The first time UncleBae saw Northwest filling station, he commented that a filling station sharing name with Kimye's first child can hardly mean any good. Turns out he was right. the filling station has become an addendum to an already bad situation. Usually, when you escape ajah traffic and drive to Ilaje, you breathe a sign of relief. Not any-more. Now, VGC is where the traffic is. Endless fuel queues traceable to Northwest are messing up the road. Sunday was a complete shut down, with people grounded for hours on the road. It's no better this early Monday morning too. As at 5:20, there was already traffic all the way to VGC, cest tres terrible. Ajahrians are calling on LASTMA and everyone who can help, please save us from Northwest oo. Of course, we are side-eyeing Kachikwu too, oga do something biko , this fuel scarcity has gone on for too long. As it is now, you have even more reason to pray before leaving home, that our leaders will find a way to make life easier ...
