monday 28/07/08 (trying)

trying
trying to remove the clutter in my lifet
rying seriously hard to organise it
trying hard to make sense out of everything that happens
trying to understand why i just cant expect everyone to be truthhfu
ltrying but knowing i couldnt possibly get the perfect lady
trying not to be wanting
trying not to fall in love
trying really hard to be a success in business
trying to be confident and bold in the face of adversity

suNdAy 27/07/08 (Naeto C)








I've only bought two nigerian albums this year...
the 1st was Sasha's first lady: she's the queen of nigerian rap...

and rocked to Kini Big Deal...and i'm like ...what wld the album be like...lol

and by the way, its not a coincidence that they're both storm artists...
they seem to be doing something right.

I would like to proclaim Naeto my own Nigerian version of Jay Z...
The Swagger, Repertoire and Confidence in Lyrics

Here's what i think abt each track:

Tuesday 22nd July 2008 (1st Dates)

The Big Two

Okay so you finally got her number and you invited her out on a date...she just said yes and then what?

Every one knows about "The Big Two". These are the normal/safe dates. They aren't very creative, but they are universally accepted:

A Movie - Inviting someone to a movie is definitely safe. It is probably the #1 first date. One good way to make it a little interesting is to let your date choose the film, or put a bunch of movie names in a hat and pick one at random when you get together. If you choose a movie you won't have to say anything once the movie starts. That can be a real relief if you find you are both tongue-tied.And going to the movies costs an arm.lol

A nice dinner - Another classic. As mentioned above, dinner out means that you are going to have to think of something to talk about for an hour or two. Sometimes that can be hard, especially on the first date. One way to lessen that problem is to go on a double date. If you go out to dinner you will have to carry a conversation all night long. That can be tough sometimes, especially on the first date.

Every one knows i do my things differently...i’d want the event to be memorable...
So my own dates are usually:

Getting ice cream together, shey i told u i had a sweet tooth.

Travelling on very short notice.

I love going to the museum too, if she’s interested means she’ll prolly be intellectual.

Also going on volunteer activities together shows she’ll care for more than my money.

Once we went kart racing, i practically injured an instructor...it was great we cheering each other on.

If you cant think of anythingelse, just do THE BIG TWO

Friday 18*july*08 (added)

I have added a few more modifications to the service and this site
well thats if you noticed them sha...
For a period of time, i am going to be granting fellow bloggers
the opportunity to advertise their products and services on my site
(see examples on the right) and on my mobile dating service...
and yes its going to be free for a while...all you do is send a text
message with your blogger Id and the product or service you want to
advertise to me at kehindebadejo@yahoo.com or 08052472837...

Okay, the "18andabove"tshirts are going to be out soon...its only going
to be worn by folks that are single, so you can walk up to those people
and start a conversation cause,they are single lol...on each tshirt, you'll
also find the individuals's number...so if you're still shy enough to walk
up to them...u can copy their mobile phone numbers and call them later..
nice or not...BTW if u want the tshirts, u know who to cal...lol

Also i've gotten reports from users of the service that, their are folks
that are no longer active on the service...meaning

1. you're past 30 years...sorry,i've got an upgrade for you though

2. you're no longer single now...which is so so cool

3. You just dont want to use the service anymore...which is a pity
then you send "STOP" to 08052472837 and I'll bother you no more...

Cross my heart...lol

Thursday 080717 (blues)

Out of the blues, i receive an IM from bola...
i also met her online about 3 to 4 years ago and after a few dates
well if you call, she coming to my house 2 or 3 times, a date sha...
she just wanted to know how things are with me and stuff...

although i dont like that...as in when women from your past
that are still single check up on you...almost giving them a
"Gold digger" status...its the questions they ask...
Where do you work now?, Do you still leave with your parents?...etc

sha Bola,was or is different...she's blunt and usually says what she
means...

so what am i going to do, see if shes still interested in a relationship...
cause i think she's mentally prepared for one now...she was so shy,
always made me feel as if i was kidnapping her...lol
Or should i just let sleeping dogs lie?

Tuesday 15%07%08 (inconciveable)

it was really inconciveable that we could sell our service
we were suppossed to go out of business in the 1st few years
text/sms/mobile dating is a foreign thing and nigerians wouldnt key in
no one was suppossed to use our service...lol

funny thing is, if we had not tried, we wouldnt have known...
and we were crazy enough to try...lol

we are in nigeria, made up of more than a hundred million people...
and even using the 20/80 rule or my personal fav...the 1% rule...
we had a market...

anyways, in the early days, we advertised on Music Africa...
yeah that scrolling thing just beneath the videos,actually you're
suppossed to send shoutouts but we used it for adverts...lol

sha it helped alot.

Monday 14/7/8 ( Business)

as someone in business is it a good to send business to your
competitors?...i think about that almost everytime...cause i
do it...
i figure there's enough competition already...my number one
competitor is you...yes, you...you introduce the babe to your
friend, or your uncle, or to a friend of a friend...or you
introduce the guy to your colleague in the office...eveyones
favourite pasttime apart from gossip...is matchmaking...if you're
not single...you're consciously matchmaking everyone u know...lol

sha i'm talking abt colleagues in this business...i send business
to people in other niches that my service doesnt provide for...
i realised from my start that i couldnt be the master of all,
thats why i cut out a very small niche for myself...

thats why i recommend that if you're above 30 and you dont believe
my service will cater for you....Go to Romeo&Juliet...its a good
albeit traditional way of matchmaking...

If you want to go for a speed dating event , there's that guy
on new dawn cant remember he's name now....I dont do speeddating...

If you want a flirting service, there are numerous ones in nigera now
tavia tech, think they got one at vibe downloads too...and you'll
just send a keyword to a shortcode...etc...and you pay

then there're also websites like...cant remember also but they're on
the blog too...just look to your right...

But if you want a free mobile/text/sms dating service for individuals
between 18 and 30...no forms, want instant matches, no complications
, no hassles
then there's 18andabove...lol

Friday 11th july 2008 (Good News)

Good news for you if you're Still Single and above 30...
"In Whispers" dont tell anyone yet o...lol
We have decided to relaunch PerfectMatch...yipee...
dont tell me you dont know how that works...

Anyways here goes...if you're a lady, you've got to be above 27
and if you're a guy, above 30...be based in Lagos and be ready to
Pay...yes so you know 1st hand o...its not free...
Yes...you've got to pay to meet this individuals cause they're
always so "busy" as "Ok" would say...lol and you've also got
to pay me for helping you to meet the man or woman of you dreams...

that said, all you do is call me on 016629614,
we meet over lunch or dinner...
and i set you up on 3 dates in 4 months...simple abi
if you dont like the guy on the 1st date...we give you another chance
with him on the next date...which technically still counts as one...
then you go on the next....guaranteed you'll meet someone you can
start a relationship with within that period...
Trust me....

Thursday 10/07/08 (Pacifist)

i am a pacifist in the mould of Ghandi, Martin Luther King, Mandela...
we'd rather be hurt rather than go to war....even when the bombs
drop close to home, we still give the militants another chance to
change for their sakes...

i'd go to prison rather than fight...
i'd stage protests rather than fight...
cause i believe in jaw jaw rather than war war...

but sometimes wouldnt be a peace maker pass for cawordice...
wouldnt be a gentle giant pass for fear...
wouldnt turning the other cheek be regarded as stupidity...
or maybe what we fear most is that if we erupt it would be more
disastrous?
and we know that after the war has be won or loss,
after all the lives have been lost...
after all properties have been destroyed...
it would still be back to the conference room...

I could count all the fights i have gotten into on one hand,
but i noticed that i was always more afraid of what i would do
to the guy than what he would do to me...
I was afraid i could kill and i'd be on the run for life...
and i count what a few more seconds of sanity would lead to.

there's always a tipping point though and i hope we has a country
would understand that...if you push us to the wall...if you hurt
my family, my friends, my colleagues...i will not cower in fear...
i will destroy all you hold dear...
i will wipe you off the face of the earth, if its the last thing i do...
You're not man enough thats why you hit me when i turn my back...
I will hunt you down like rats that you are...
This is isnt a threath, its a guarantee...
that said...."deep breaths"...
really Pacifist am I...

tHURSDAY 3-7-8 (10 Ways 2 Treat A Lady

Just like you are here reading my blog, I too take the time out to scan the blog scene. Some I tend to frequent more than others. Like I am over @ Blogxilla and I see an article too good not to post. Enough of me talking, read on!!

10. Oral sex is your get out of jail free card. Nice shoes & jewelry also work.

Going Down can change her mood… But make sure you give her the royal treatment I will be writing another how to eat p*ssy blog soon

9. If you f*cked things up and she seems cool with it. She’s not. (See directly above.)

get back to eating the coochie!!! Nuff Said. but be careful she might start faking being mad if your good enough at it… and that might not be a bad thing

8. She loves it when you tell her what on your mind, even if you don’t understand what you’re thinking.

Tell her what’s on your mind, we men like to feel like we can do it all ourselves but females are programmed to be supporters, listeners, etc let her know your master plan she may be able to help you get there quicker.

7. Surprises & gifts for Her = more loving.

Instead of giving your Extra dollars to TA-TA-LALISCOUS at Strokers stop by the mall and pick out something nice for your shorty. You might want to consult either her female Friends or your Female Friends before doing this. There are a lot of good sites out there that are not paying me to give them free promotion

6. You’re not her daddy so don’t tell her what to do.

Ask her if she can, or if she would mind instead of demanding she do something. Make her feel like it’s a democracy… wait our gov’t is a democracy right? Well scratch that!!! But give her an option.

5. If she is not feeling needed, she will start looking for love else where.

Tell her you love her, better yet prove it to her. You need to make sure she knows how you feel, and sometimes saying it isn’t enough walk up on her one day while she is doing something, washing dishes, cleaning the room, walking in the door, and just hug then drop to your knees.

4. Discussion of ex-gf’s and ex-bf’s should be avoided at all times.

Don’t talk about your past, and don’t ask her about hers. No one wants to be constantly reminded or feel like they have to be better than someone.

3. She likes loves porn.

Not trashy porn but good porn… SO BIG BUTT BROOKLYN B!TCHES WIT BOOGERS GETTING BACKSHOTS may be out the question. Buy her a toy, Butterflies, ladybugs, and Dolphins will do the trick.

2. She owns a MARY J Blige CD, and is not afraid to use it.

You know you did something Questionable, and you hear I’m not going CRY. [Or Rihanna's Take A Bow] Go for a walk… or see number 10

1. She loves it when you hug her from behind and whisper in her ear.

Hold a whole conversation in this position. The heat could hinder this so make sure the air is on.

Contentment In Life

Being happy is equated to been contented, pleased and been fortunate according to the Oxford Dictionary. Been Happy in the Nigerian context- well to the average Nigerian is having his basic needs met i.e Food, Shelter, and Clothing. Also been happy is correlated to wealth, friends, spiritual consciousness and having a good job. But we know that been happy is dependent on the individual because what might satisfy you the reader might not even have any effect on me.

Nigeria has often been described as one of the happiest country in the world i.e the country with the most contented individuals.But we know this is at face value, the average Nigerian is "suffering and smiling" going about "jejeli" on his own with an "e go better" attitude. The worse the economy gets, the more we adapt to the situation.

Scientists have stated 10 parameters for Happiness.

1. Make the most of your genes...
Happiness has been adjudged to be influenced by half what is happening now and half set point
determined by our grandparents, meaning that if your grandparents were relatively happy "ceteris paribus" your parents would be relatively happy and you also would be happy.
Then it was found that Extroverts tend to be happier than introverts. that is, a socially interested indivisual is usually happier than a person who lives a solitary, lonely life. Hence there is really no harm in going to clubs, joining groups and even going to mama put joints to interact.

2.Get Married...
Although the economic situation might not allow marriages cause it has been estimated that even a small marriage costs about N1.5 million, more than what some individuals earn in 5 years. Hence this might not really work, but it has been discovered that happy people are more likely to get married and stay married especially if there is trust, love and sharing. The closest to this is been engaged or live-in-lovers.

3.Make Friends and Value Them...
Relating to people makes an individual happy because sharing some amount of trust is a factor.
Almost every person needs a shoulder to rely on and a listening ear.Been malicious usually makes us sad. Been appreciated is what we all crave.

4.Desire Less...
It is an economic fact that not all our needs can be met with our meagre resources hence been happy requires us to desire less. The essential needs i.e Shelter, Clothing and Food bring a large amount of happiness. Coveting what you dont have is bad for your peace of mind and the more people have, the more they want.

5.Find God (or a belief system)...
Most nigerians are religious especially when it comes to football, i remember how many people
prophesied that we would win the just concluded African Cup Of Nations.It has been found out that believing in God or an Afterlife can give people meaning and purpose and reduce the feeling of being in the world. The most fearful of death ( like all Nigerians are) are those who are unspecific, or uncommitted to any specific belief system.
It also brings social interaction and support.

6.Do Someone A Good Turn...
The bible says it is more blessed to give than to receive. The more voluntary work you do, the happier you get. People who provide support to others are better off themselves.
They even live longer.

7.Stop Comparing Your Looks With Others...
Everybody is beautifully and wonderfully created. We are all beautiful in our own little way.
Most of us are envious of our friends bodies,the guys want bigger biceps and triceps while the gals want fuller breasts.(i watch dr 90210,so i know) Studies have found out that Good looking people are much happier. Health and happiness go hand in hand and influence each other. It is
also said that a good laugh a day keeps the doctor and sorrow away. The remedy to appreciating your looks more is "believing you look great" and "appreciating your body for what it does rather tha how it looks". For example, Great defender Taribo West and prolific actor Segun Arinze.

8.Earn More Money (up to a point)...
As we all know,wealthier people are much happier. Although a good paying job doesnt necessarily lead to been happy. Moeny buys status and status makes you better off. Studies have shown that it would take #70,000 a year (about 14 million naira) to make a person happy!!! Enough said.

9.Grow Old Gracefully...
Elderly People are just as happy as the young but are more satisfied with their life. The secret to this is to focus on things that make you happy and let go of those that dont. The old also remember the "good old days" and try as much to forget the present times. why songs now dont make sense to them...lol

10.Dont Worry If You Arent A Genius...
From experience, Know-it-alls are not appreciated. Been very brilliant is not a criteria for happiness. Yo dont have to be Einstien, rather, been a little above average is okay. Social intelligience rather than "bookish" intelligience is the key to happiness.

Happiness is a state of mind shown on your face. So smile everytime cause it takes abot 15 muscles to smile while about 37 to frown.Frowning also discourages appreciation. As Lagbaja would say "Put a smile on your face, no matter condition, feyin e"
