What’s
really good people?
It
is not even 48 hours into this MADDENING 2014 NCAA tournament and these college
boys are busting folk brackets left and right. I just knew I was fitna get that
Warren Buffet Quicken Loans money sha
ni. I tell you what though, seeing Duke getting knocked out in the first round
and watching the white boy hit da “NeNe dance” on that a** feels just as good
as winning a billion dollars. Whats really crazy is sometimes when I get to
actually catch some of the games I can’t believe my old but has been out of
school going on 15 years. Na Wa O!
SHOUT-OUTS

of the MY OMO NAIJA blogspot. Thank you for your continued support. Love iz

Ok
people; let me get focused…
This
week I want to touch on this phenomenon in the Afrikan community call the
INTERNET. Many of you have grown to refer to it as a global system of
interconnected computer networks that serve billions of users worldwide. To the
new Afrikan person on the continent that has now finally gained regular usage
of this tool, the internet to them is the modern day encyclopedia in which
nothing you can offer them is deemed legitimate or accurate if not publicized
on the IN-TER-NET.
While
I am on the topic of the internet let me quickly just state the obvious and
move past the easy or cache “419” or email solicitation jokes that so many of
you like to forward to my attention about how a relative of mine has asked you
to be the beneficiary of $200 million unclaimed in some beneficiary account
that does not exist. The funny thing about those emails to me are; 1) many of
those solicitations actually have no ties to Nigeria anymore and 2) Just
because you are of Nigerian decent those not mean you are not a target for this
old and tired scam.
Now
let me tell you what the latest trend is with Afrikans and their use of the
internet, I honestly am unable to keep count of how many times somebody back
home in Africa will inbox me to assist them with a purchase or the search of a
particular product all to turnaround and start to argue with you on how you are
trying to cheat them out of their money because the pricing they looked up did
not match what you presented to them as a cost. My favorite is the opening
statement of “I beg my friend don’t think say we don’t have internet here in
Africa o”? My typical response is “well if you have all this information in the
first place what you need me for then”??? Oh; throw in a couple of four letter
words at the end of the sentence to boot.
Another
habit all Afrikans have really going overboard with now is their excess
consumption of blogs and all the negative gossip that dominates so many of its
social media sites. As an individual that blogs as a means to bring Afrikans
across the diaspora together this wave of trash is a total waste of energy and
resources. I don’t care to know which nollywood actress is now sleeping with
some Nigerian music artist or who spent the most money on a wedding with public
money, etc.
