I LOVE THIS AND THAT...!

I believe someone out there has a solution. For months, a fellow, who lives in the United States has been calling to find out about every 'babe' on the blog.

He wants to ‘lay’ everybody. Normally, I am used to incessant calls from guys who are interested in ladies. Babes call too, to find out about guys they like. Ofcourse, I believe people can find their life partners anywhere...including public toilets! There are people who are genuinely interested in having a blissful relationship with people they admire
but this particular fellow has been giving me hell and I have been very polite. There was a time he phoned and said, “Niyi, I am damn crazy about Stella Damasus. I really need you to get me her contact. I am gonna show her that no man got to love her as much as I do. I really need her to be the mother of my kids”
The other day, it was a babe he saw on the 'THISDAY post'. Another time he called again, saying he wouldn’t mind dating Stephanie Okereke since she is no longer with her husband. When I posted the story on Remi Fagbohun, he called me again… "Niyi, I have made up my mind about Remi.She lives in the US and I live in the US. You know what me saying? We can hook up and start a blissful life together”

“Remi, who?” I asked.
“Remi Fagbohun”
“She is married, didn’t you read that?” I asked.
We dragged that for sometime until the guy stopped calling for a while. He resumed again few weeks back and he has been asking to date every babe again.

“That girl is out of this world man. I need to hook up with her” He said, referring me to the photograph of a lady that attended the Lagos International Polo Tournament. He even quoted the date. Some days ago, I was about leaving the office when he called again. After exchanging pleasantries, he asked for a 'favour'. I think the woman with the six kids (referring to the story on Lilian Ugboeke’s story http://niyitabiti.blogspot.com/2008/10/lilian-ugboeke-pretty-mother-of-six-set.html ) is actually amazing. She look chic and her body is just perfect. That is my kind of woman. I am sure she is Igbo. I don’t care what anyone says but I think I want her to be my wife? I have been trying her number I saw on the page.Niyi, can you connect us?”
Immediately he finished, something sparked on my head and I laughed uncontrollably.I also checked the number again to be sure that this person wasn’t calling me from a psychiatrist home (Yaba a pa osi) in Yankee!I think the guy's case is more of obsession than interest.Lets just pray he finds help with a dating site or someone who can 'load' words into his head!

IN REMEMBRANCE OF FELA ANIKULAPO KUTI:THE MOST INCREDIBLE MUSICIAN OF OUR TIME!

Story by Niyi Tabiti

Dead or alive, Fela Anikulapo Kuti remains the most enigmatic music phenomenon ever to come out of Nigeria. That is why his post humous birthday celebration has continued to attract thousands of people from all walks of life. This year’s edition is no exception as thousands of ardent music lovers who believe so much in ‘Fela-sophy’, music researchers and fans troop en masse to the new Afrikka Shrine (owned by his son, Femi Kuti) to pay ‘Baba 70’ homage even in death.Starting started on Tuesday 14 and ended on Sunday 19 October 2008.
Of course, it brought alive, the memories of the late ‘Abami Eda’ (The strange man) who lived and sang against corrupt practices in government. He was harassed by security agents, arrested and jailed at different times.So incredible was Fela that he would be remembered as the first Nigerian artiste who composed songs and openely berated military governments in power.Unknown Soldier, one of his popular songs was done after soldiers caused damages that led to his mother’s death durning the military regime of General Olusegun Obasanjo in the 70s.
Beyond Fela’s human rights activism, He was also known to have engaged in open display of ‘Indian hemp’ smoking.Perhaps, the reason why the Afrikka Shrine also went up in flames (lol) as young and old, rich and poor came to smoke that ‘thing’ that make them ‘high!’
He believed so much in African culture and tradition- the reason he changed his name his surname from Ransome-Kuti to 'Anikulapo' Kuti ( the one who has death in his pocket).He prroclaim the african worship of ifa divination and other gods as his own way of life.Known to have married 27 wives the same day before he divorced them in 1986, Fela died in 1997 due to what the family described as illness resulting from infection of the HIV/AIDS.
Today, Yeni, Femi and Seun the children he left behind seems to have taken his foot steps.Apparently, they are aware of the fact that they could only try but not wear the big shoe left behind by their father and mentor.
Dapo Oyebanjo, the Nigerian born musician popularly known as D'banj is one of the few entertainers in the world whose deft moves on stage anchor a similarity with that of Abami Eda but with a fusion of contemporary styles.
