OLA SWEETEST:LETS ROCK TOGETHER

 Lets get it rolling again.I am Ola Sweetest!That is what my special friend call me.I have written a few article in the past. Some were published by my dear friend, Niyi the gistmaster himself!

 I have been in the corporate world for some years now but writing about real love stories, fashion and writing about the impact of digital technology is my real life. I love it!

If you have read through Ola's Diary, then you already know a bit about me. If not, i will post the last article i did on gistmaster below, but that's not all about me. I love me so much, i love you too.

As I looked through my window, I noticed that Dave was already at my gate. So there was no way I could turn him back. “I gave him once, now he wants more”, I told myself. I went to open the gate. He couldn’t look me straight in the eyes but he smiled and he held right in the waist as we walked into the sitting room (click here to read the first part of this story)
Before I could ask about the person he came to visit in the neighborhood, Dave held me on the chair and that was how we started the romance of our lives. I thought I could resist him, but something in me just proved weak.
I kissed him as much as he kissed me. He held my head one hand and uses the other one to raise my leg. We left the sofa and moved on the rug. My short skirt proved very easily for him to flip and get in as fast as possible. It was like a love scene in a movie, action packed as f***ed me on the rug. He was so much on me.
We did it, yes we did. He is my junior in the office, yes I know but this guy is good! Immediately we finished. I went to shower and he did the same too. Now, this is the reality. I need him in my life. As we enjoyed a meal together, I noticed that we didn’t even lock the door when we did it. Then the bombshell, he revealed to me that he would be resigning from the company because of another offer he got in France.
I am going to miss Dave. He knows how to take a woman to the zenith and now he is going to live in France. For me, its time to search for love, enough lust!

AREA FADA IDOL:CHARLY BOY DISCOVERS TALENT ON THE STREETS OF IKEJA

It was a spectacle never before seen under the bridge at Ikeja on Monday
October 7th as a crowd of onlookers - mainly commercial motorcycle
operators (*okada*) gathered to participate in what appeared to be a street
talent show. Seated at the judges' desk at a corner of the road and
shouting orders was none other than the 'Area Fada' himself, Charles
"Charly Boy" Oputa.

The Nigerian Idol judge was clearly in his elements as Area Fada as he
went in search of what he called the first ever Street Idol in honour of
"his people". He was not disappointed. There was no shortage of talent
waiting on the streets: from a dancing LAWMA official, to random singers
and rappers and even a stripper *Okada* rider.

In that atmosphere of non-stop entertainment for a large crowd of
onlookers, the down-to-earth star ensured that the crowd hailed every
single person that performed and then joined a few of the performances.
After making the first selection, Charly Boy let the crowd decide who the
winners of the competition were for the music and dancing categories
respectively. The three favourites in each of these categories received
$100 (per category) from him as cheers went up among the crowd. True to
form, after the unusual show, Mr. Oputa blazed off in dusty glory to cheers
of 'Area Fada!

Charly Boy was in Lagos as one of the judges on Season II of Nigerian
Idol. Alongside Yinka Davies and international choreographer and artiste
Jeffrey Daniels, they reviewed the thousands of young eager talent in an
incredibly long line at the Dream Studios in Lagos.

WHICH NIGERIAN BANK LEAST APPEAL TO YOU?

In Nigeria, there are banks and there are BANKS. I am sure that you guys will agree that despite the recapitalization and confidence reposed in bank customers by the Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, the Governor of Central Bank, Nigerians still want government to do more.
  The other time, gistmaster asked some friends "Which Nigerian bank appeal to you the least and why?" Some of them were quick to mention Fidelity Bank, Unity Bank, Wema Bank and guess what? Most people don't even know that Afribank has changed name to Mainstreet Bank???
 You can hardly find Wema Bank or their ATM anywhere near you, one said.
