Father Time


What’s really good people?

So three weeks later into the crazy sports white people play and I still don’t get the Winter Olympics O. I mean they already have the X-Games which nobody watches so what is the purpose of this one? I can understand how speed skating, figure skating with its (double axle, triple toe loop), skiing, etc. all of those events require endurance, strength, hand/eye coordination and balance which authenticates ones athleticism. Now all that other dare devil peanut butter & jelly you know what is some made up shittu a group of white kids in their privileged mormon community somewhere in Utah came up with one day during recess. And thanks USA Hockey for going 0-2 versus Canada this week, you really made me look good after all the banter my nephew and I exchanged all week.

(S/O) Looking forward to seeing my Old Man in the DMV in like 72 hrs.

Ok people; let me get focused…

So while I was away on donuts last week doing absolutely nothing productive whatsoever with myself, my cousin sent me this youtube prank video this Nigerian kid pulled on his dad. The video must have gone viral because I can count of the top of my head five different conversations in which people brought it up to my attention. The video was well done. (S/O) to the kid behind the project; it seems like nowadays everybody is uploading some type of Vine video on the internet on topics like growing up Afrikan, Afrikan parents, fast naija girls (You know who you are). 

Oh, you must have not yet received the memo, my Old Man is coming to the DMV to kick it with his namesake for a minute so we gonna do it B.I.G.

Now my pops aint like these stereotypical Afrikan parents you see or hear about as far as how he gets down. So this is my little quick play-by-play of how our reunion is going to go down in like 2 days;

  • When I arrive at the airport to pick him up his going to be very easy to spot; just check for the man with SWAG out da Roof! He gonna be in full native garb or he might even mess around and stunt on folks with his special custom 3 piece suite. Why because he gets his custom but you a CUSTOMER.
  • Till I die I must PROSTRATE ni o when first greeting my baba. That is the Yoruba custom. Now he might switch up on me and greet me back in Arabic, French, Portuguese, Spanish, even Old English self, it’s going to come down to which honey he trying to MACK in my presence. “IDMIU Keshi” as I fondly call him is an ambassador of the world. Lol.
  • Then am going to say dad how was your trip? Are you tired or hungry? His response would be something like a quick prayer for given the Most High all the Praise for reuniting us and then his standard response for everything will soon follow, “ANY-TIN” will do son.
  • Then we going to get on the road heading home from the airport and he will get into his stories like old times. And before you know it that 3 hour rush hour traffic gonna feel like a blur, why because I got the head & the patriarch riding SHUTGUN with P & there is no worries.

RESPECT & FEAR


What’s really good people?

So goes the end of the NFL season folks. Is the Super Bowl still playing? Because I sure could use another two or three hours of seeing Peyton “Big Headed” Manning getting his brains beat in on the world’s biggest stage by the Seattle Seahawk defense. I could have sworn I heard the Seahawk defensive players shouting out not (Omaha) but O-YA-MA-MA every time they got a sack or an interception and took it to the house on that stiff neck KAK.

Anybody up for a quick story; ok so like a dumb dumb and an idiot I messed around and got my whip all banged up against a column at my work garage yesterday. SMH. What’s funny was right before I jacked up my car I was just abusing the car in front of me for not knowing how to drive blah blah blah… And to make matters worse, why do people when they get into an accident with their vehicle the first thing they want to blame it on is the person sitting right next to them in the passenger seat for talking too much and being a distraction. SMH. And why is that person sitting next to you ALWAYS quiet as a church mouse after it all goes down. HILARIOUS

(S/O) CONGRATS my brother Jason Y. & family on the new addition. Looking forward to seeing little man put on the GREEN/WHITE for the SUPA Eagles & not Team USA

Ok people; let me get focused…

You know as I was watching this past Super Bowl I got to thinking, the man up above is no joke and not to be messed with. I mean if there was ever a teaching moment it had to be watching the invisible aka…“Mr. Da GREATEST” blah blah blah get reduced to a pedestrian at best quarterback in the biggest game of his career. I mean NOBODY saw that coming and for it to be so one-sided all I could surmise was one best not get on the wrong side of da G.O.D.

So when I shared my thoughts this week with family and friends I got mixed responses. Some took the position of “FEAR” and others took the stance of “RESPECT” when it comes to ALMIGHTY. Either one is cool and acceptable as far as am concerned. But what you better not be is them folks out there who insist that there is no higher being or “Man Upstairs” watching over us.

I know of such a person personally who falls in this category of there is no after life or GOD. An older gentleman too at that, the irony in his belief is whenever he starts to experience discomfort, serious health issues or is admitted in the hospital the first person he calls for to heal and strengthen him is guess who???? You got it da G.O.D. All of his pomposity (yeah yall liked that word huh) goes out the window quick. This week’s blog is just a little reminder that as much as we all think we got everything under our watch in our control or grasp we are just pawns on a chessboard.

Come Again?

What’s really good people?

Man where do we start this week? How about the city of ATL and its ICE disaster this entire week because of what two inches of snow? Na Wa O! Seeing that on the television reminded of only how bad Nigeria could suffer if we ever get snow someday. I mean what I want to know is how did those people in their cars make it past 12 plus hours without using restrooms and not running out of gas in their cars because keep in mind it is winter so it ain’t like you can just shut off your engine and go to sleep in a freezing car out in the cold. Oh and how can I forget our village idiot of a President Goodluck posing for pictures with actress Goldie Hawn this week at some international conference. One of the headlines actually referred to Jonathan as the Anti-Gay Nigerian President. SMH. Now that is HILARIOUS. Boy I tell you what the GAY MAFIA better not try to mess with NAIJA O. Una go hear “This is Africa” noni. Oshaaaaaaamo.

(S/O) To my peoples in the ATL be safe out there.

Ok people; let me get focused…

I had somebody tell me something this week and all I could do, think and say was COME AGAIN? I mean I know you all out there have experienced this, you know that thought you get in your head when somebody just says something just CRAZY or just so UNTHHINKABLE and you get that look in your face like “did this fool just say this s**t to me with a straight face”? I know many of you all get this everyday because I am the one saying it to your faces so deal with it and guess what am still gonna keeping talking all RECKLESS too. SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIT.

For some reason this week, I just heard one ratchet mess after another like there was something in the water. So this really got me to thinking, a lot of people got a serious case of the diarrhea of the mouth out here and it is only getting worst. I mean in my case I just say dumb things just to get a rise out of a person but I can’t say that is the same case for a lot of these yahooooooooos.

I mean what to do what to do. Ignore it and keep it moving or check that individual on the spot so such behaviors can be nipped in the bud early. Now this those not necessarily apply to family and friends because hey we are stuck with family and as for the friends you can always get a new one. This is more for that select group of individuals you never really got down with like that or people who think they cool enough with you to go that far.

Now I am not recommending that you go around checking people at your work, gym, department stores or anything like that. Actually, no you must check them folks at the gym and your workplace because it is that group of people who get way too comfortable with you like yall go way back or something. Now if you try and you still getting disrespected you best handle that playa.


What you goin’ do?

Na Wa O (NWO)!

Na Wa O! - is slang or a pidgin term used back home in Nigeria and other parts of Africa that simply illustrates something unbelievable, makes you speechless or leaves you flabbergasted.
