WRITER'S BLOG


It was not a self-imposed hiatus or voluntary exile, it was just Google.

 Try signing in from a secret location with a different laptop or freshly-bought Sunday Market secondhand phone and you'll have hell to pay.

 I was told that I could not log into my account so many times in the past few months I almost gave in. To be allowed access into my account, I had to remember one of those useless, irrelevant, silly-ass questions I was asked while signing up.

 1.Where did you first meet your ex girlfriend's uncle son?

 2.What is the name of the person who sold your dog to the dog-catchers?

 3.What is your first ever phone number?

 Usually, I (and probably millions of other people)make up answers to these questions. I mean how am I meant to remember my first phone number?Anyway, I had answered that question correctly.Lucky me.

 So after digging through the vaults, searching through almost two-decade-old chop-boxes and raiding grand mum's house, I found my 1999 diary.I found my first number in there.I knew it was in there(along with the numbers of a few of my friends)!So here I am.Just in time for Brazil 2014.

 Thank you Lord.

    Hahaha! How well of you to still have access to your first ever phone number. You surely have a thing for antiquity!

NASIR BEN OLU DARA JONES – One of the most prolific hip-hop artistes of our generation.   Nas A.K.A. God’s son has an obsession with the real God’s Son and God the Father in a way that could only be likened to Kanye West’s obsession with Michael Jackson. Thankfully, he has left out the Holy Ghost in his outrageous utterances. (Perhaps fully aware that blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is the only unpardonable sin in the scriptures . Truth! (Smart,innit?) Apparently, Nas has had flings with both Christianity and Islam i.e. practised either or both at one time or the other. It is as obvious as daylight that people take certain liberties with Christianity (that they won’t dare take with Islam), it therefore comes as no surprise that Nas targets the founder of

AFCON2013 HAIRSTYLE (S)HITLIST

The AFCON/CAN has always been a showcase for African footballers for good reasons and bad. Scouts from Azerbaijan to Zimbabwean cattle-grazing pitch leagues troop to the tournament in their numbers to scoop new talent on the cheap. So how does a footballer shine in the hope of bagging a purse-bursting big money move? Talent, I suppose. But in the CAN , sometimes just raw talent is not enough. Unless you’re one of the few who can spot a nit on a gnat’s nut from 50 yards, it’s sometimes impossible to tell one unfamiliar player from the next without seeing the numbers on their shirts. [ To preclude charges of racism, I’m blacker than night] The very kind African footballes love to make life easy for the scouts so they use their head oops I meant their hair . The players that turned up at this year’s AFCON2013 did not disappoint. Spotting spectacularly horrific hairstyles, some of the players made Mr T look like Archbishop Desmond Tutu. [And I say “horrific in a good way]. Ev
