is the land now green?

 October 1, 2020 - and this time Nigeria celebrates 60years of Independence from her colonial masters, Britain I simply want to know if the land is finally green... I want to know if the electricity is uninterrupted in 24 hours... Are roads with portholes a myth or fictional Wake me up when Nigeria stops celebrating an impoverished state of mind and embraces visions of what our heroes past had seen when they fought... to be regards as humans Nigerians ever so hopeful! Hello Blogger it has been more than a minute Happy Independence Day Nigeria!

its larger than the elephant in the room

My post is going to be all over the place. I have thought through how to ensure it makes sense but I have drawn so many blanks. Blanks that wasn't what Ahmaud Arbery got while he was jogging on the day his body was shot. His life cut short. After being killed, his assilants claim they were after a burglar and he fit the description. The best thing they could do was to shoot to death this young man, so that his side of the story would forever be silenced. What a calamity! I read an article on CNN saying some 'truth' will exonerate the assailants. These assailants who cannot undo the killing, they cannot bring back the boy.   Is life not precious any longer? or maybe the lives of people who look like me can't actually be termed precious. It isn't worth a pinch of salt maybe. It is ok to shoot, take a life especially the life of the person of African descent... I simply don't get it. Many people don't get it.

Many people seem to be taking things one day at a time, so many apps saving the days. There are a thousand and one ways to zoom that meeting. Fitness challenges are literally off the floor.

It's been way too long! I have procrastinated. My procrastination procrastinated, then that one procrastinated, then... You get the point tho! I have literally missed a whole year's post, I didn't even type my traditional birthday post, Christmas post or new year's. I haven't been so busy to be honest, in addition to the many other reasons why I have been MIA here I am just not pleased with blogger and google. That is story for another time and season! Today's tale is one of 2 other brands - Fossil and Swatch. After 20+ odd years wearing Swatch time pieces, I finally laid the straps to rest and moved on. I may never be looking back. The happiness took a downward spiral when I got my last watch, a couple of years ago. It's been real Swatch, like many things in this world some relationships have to end. I was prepared to be loyal till the grave but times changed, Fossil happened and may I say the last couple of weeks have been a really honeymoon. ...
