I
can’t believe I just started this blog and I am missing days of not blogging
already. I apologise for not posting yesterday, I was very busy. Doing what I
hear you ask??…………………..watching Yoruba movies ni *hides face in shame again*
(by now, I bet you can tell I am one bush geh, your guess is right). Honestly,
Sundays are always chilled out days for me, I go to church and spend the rest
of the afternoon watching Yoruba movies on YouTube and Irokotv, God bless those
guys that upload them. I call them stress relievers because that's what they do
to me.(Please note I only watch from the guys licensed to do so, I want the
Yoruba movie industry to progress *straight face*). Apologies to nollywood
movies but honestly I can’t stand the fakeness (is there a word like that?)
Today I want to ask you guy’s a question, why are majority of oyibo people so patient? They are so patient that sometimes I want to fight for them sef. On Saturday, I jumped on the bus to go make my hair, I did my calculations and realised it was better than driving my fuel and paying for parking. If you like call me ijebu, I need it, I am a walking calculator and I save every penny saveable. How else can my money be complete on time and I can move back to my beloved homeland? Anyway, I was on the bus and we got to a bustop, two of my sisters stepped in (I heard them speaking Yoruba) and they stood in front of the driver and started searching their bags. Honestly, for close to two minutes, they were both searching their bags non challantly whilst speaking to each other in loud voices. It was so annoying. After, like three minutes they both looked up (as if planned) and told the driver they didn't have money. I nearly fainted on my sit. Two grownup women in the city of London could not produce £2 each and they kept us waiting for so long. Later these people will be telling people back home in Naija how sweet UK is. Shio!. To cut the long story short, the driver told them to get off. The koko of my story is that the bus driver was not even upset or angry, no one in the bus even noticed or looked impatient (except me na, I was already moving from side to side..lol) and we drove off. In my head, I pictured if this had happened in the city of Lagos, I trust the drivers, conductors and passengers, dem no dey fall hand at all. You can’t delay them for 2 seconds not to talk of 3minutes. I think the drivers in other states still have a higher patience threshold..Haahaha! E ko onibaje.
The week has started in earnest and the weather is still gloomy jare. Sebi I told you guys on Saturday that the sun was out but let me tell you a secret. If you see the sun shining in the UK and you dress like its summer, trust me you are on your own o. I was not deceived by the sunshine over the weekend at all and I dressed like I will normally dress in freezing temperatures. (At some point, I was sweating make I no lie, I over did the dressing warm as usual). I saw so many people dressed up like its warm weather, I was just doing #yinmu. All of a sudden, the weather changed, come and see people shaking...hahahaha. In my mind, I said are you a learner?? So u see small sun for UK you begin dress like say you dey hot county. This country has the most unstable weather in the whole world (my opinion). There is even a saying ‘as unpredictable as the British weather’. One of my long list of reasons why I love Naija jere. Do you know the 1st time I came here, I used to stand at the bustop and weep during winter, who send me message abi? God dey!
Guys have gotta go ..hehehe! That's me blowing fone o, you know its Monday now so I have switched to my phoney accent. Tomorrow I am going to vent about the issue of kids in this country, whoever came up with the idea of not spanking kids *confused* :-)L
Catch ya later
Love XX
