FIRST POST

 My  name is Tai-Osagbemi Boma , 

welcome to the maiden post of my blog

WAR AGAINST NEPA/PHCN (wotever!)

Nija will always be home....

Home is where the heart is  they say, but i ask , na heart we go chop ? 

 The conditions in country are way beyond unbearable, stifling the creativity  and innovativeness of the average individual , those who dare climb against this trend find it an arduous up ‘mountain’ struggle.  But there is hope.

Somewhere  at the top of  ‘our’ seven point agenda is the issue of power generation -and 6000MW) but that's a story for another day .

 You see, i live in one of the GRA-ish areas of  the Kaduna metropolis and as at now (the time of typing this)  there is no PHCN/NEPA  and yes, i’m going to tell you why .

You see, somehow towards the end of the year(every year), PHCN shows up saying the community has to contribute the sum of  N150,000  with the clam that the  “oil” in the transformer  has been stolen.

So this year the same sharp guys came in their blue overalls and whiteish-brownish  pickup truck.

well this everyone decided to use the money to fuel their generators  . 
We just  ‘celebrated ’ our THREE MONTHS of ‘‘lightlessness’’  HURRAY !!

MOVIES

IRON MAN 2 is due for release  on the 7th may of  2010...omo i saw the trailer and a couple of scenes on youtube. With the impressive star studded cast (Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Mickey Rourke as Whiplash, Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Sam Rockwell as Justin Hammer, and Don Cheadle as Rhodey) . i can’t wait  for May 

So.... i was watching the , third season of Tim Kring’s HEROES out of sheer boredom(addicts please do not send me death threats or hate mail ). Then the Indian dude in an ‘outro’ to one of the episodes said something that made me smile. It was a quote made popular by the
 Nigerian born literary king,

 Chinua Achebe’s first book,

 Things Fall Apart’ 

'Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world'

Conversely , i saw  the pilot episode of BURN NOTICE which is sort of  a cross between  ‘dumb and dumber’  and  James bond .  As the lead character  said  ‘Nigeria is the gun running capital of Africa’  with all the muscles in my face contracting , i ask myself, does this  dude even know what a  Somalia is ? ’
