All-nighter #2

Bants.

[11:00 pm GMT]
-Ugh, the new Google logo, am not a fan.

-Shout out to this person with the bubble jacket laying out on the swivel chairs sleeping behind me, realest GNF's MVP! [took myself a quick nap too not too long ago, I don't blame you o jee]

-Had a mixture of "almost sick and I am about to go insane with stress" feels not too long ago, hence the nap. It was not a nice feeling, I do not wish it on my worst enemy. September 30, nibo lo wa.

-Breakouts are the worst. Especially when your face regimen was in tip-top shape. September 30 nibo lo wa.

-Ironically, I feel as if my brain cells have depleted as a result of this research (or maybe lack of sufficient sleep). September 30 nibo lo wa.


-Found out about the [Ibo] Osu today....sigh. I guess it is a bit parallel to the Yoruba 'abiku'.

-Nigerian accents ringing in m ears keeping me awake. Yes.


[2:18 am GMT]

-I'm not sure which it is I miss more.... [you.] or [my sanity]. Either way the feelings are concomitantly serving as my motivation to get this one and done.

-Orezi is the principal author of non-related lines when it comes to lyricism. I still bang with 'Shuperu' on a good day...or bad, like right now! Well, I actually cannot complain about today seeing how I am on the last stretch before the weekenditing (weekend x editing process).

-Ol' bubble jacket still has not woken up. I will express my sentiments in the next update if no change.


[5:10 am GMT]

O'boy is still sleeping ooo. My colleague has already jested him.

I am wide awake, thank you Lord for this divine metaphorical wind of alertness. Jah, luh.

I feel as if listening to Nigerian music while advancing in my professional pursuits in the form of this paper is incongruous and yields a two steps forward, one step back scenario. I need to desist during[ weekenditing].

Questions that still remain. How to boss.

If this Union should stand...

...we must fall.

Fall to our knees and pray for the forward-propelling of our youth that ensure the progress of our country...

Fall to newer depths of humility.

Fall on each other, invoking again the cultural narratives of our neighbours being our friends. Our backbone.

United we stand, divided we fall.

But if this Union should stand.... we have to fall.


An ode to Nigerian Independence.

Those Vibes.

Currently listening to a mix that is playing a track from Wizkid's Ayo (2014), and I am immediately mentally transported to last year autumn, specifically to that jam session night.


Yep, that night.

                                                                       Yep, those vibes.

I'm that person...

That can find a previously mainstream song more enjoyable when it becomes less mainstream & popular. Thinking I'm the only one that is enjoying the song at that moment in time, compared to a collective "that's my jam!" type sturv makes a huge difference with me & my receptivity to a particular song.

Ol' dude, Thank you.

thank you for the stumble upon that gives me the new lease of realising that the other is not the end-all be-all. Reminded of what I was doing this for.


Thank you, Lord.

Alll-Nighter #1

Bants.


- the Nigerian music industry is a truly unconventional telling that unrivalled talent in lyricism and music composition does not guarantee financial success nor even popularity at the least.



-SHUGA Naija returns September 13th ! That one NGO project that turned out to be commercial success. Kudos to the recruitment of Biyi Bandele et al. Native talent combined with the right  western resources ... cues Koker x Do Something (This song is finally getting the exposure it deserves....it takes a while for Nigerians, but once it hits, it hits).


- Is Davido running out of lyrics...?


- This is quite interesting, ambitious, inspiring (after deeper investigation)!: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/redorigins/red-origins-an-original-animated-series
[Support if this interests you in anyway!]


- [Try.be.] <---- I was doing 'packaging' testing with that. Nope, doesn't work too well, in my opinion.


-"Don't get too attached" - 'Line Manager x Ambiguous Loss' coping exercise. Ha!
