MONDAY LUV

Hi!!!!
How are you all doing? Hope you had a great weekend.
I kinda wish my weekend didnt have to end! I really need a long holiday.
So I spent the weekend over with one of my best friends and on saturday morning she dragged me to the gym with her! I honestly dont know who sent me to do weightercise class with her. It basically involves carrying weights while exercising! Seriously my whole body hurts! I can barely move.
Was a very fun weekend tho.

WEEKEND LUV

Hi Everyone,
How is your week going? Mine has been good. It feels like it has gone by really fast!
Meanwhile, I have to tell you guys about this. I was about to take a flight last week, got to the airport quite early and was just waiting around.
Guess who was on my flight? Wole Soyinka! I am such a huge fan of his work, especially the plays. I chatted with him for a bit. He was very nice but honestly I don’t think I made much sense ‘cause I was soooo starstruck.
Veteran actress, Taiwo Ajayi Lycett was also on my flight as well.
Anyways, here is a short Weekend Luv

RUNDOWN - JULIUS AGWU + KOSIBAH + MORE

Hi Everyone!!
Yes, I know I have been MIA as usual.
It’s been crazy….
I’ve been out and about, here and there.
I can’t even complain though
What have you been up to?
I am soooo happy with the weather at the moment. Granted it was raining cats and dogs last week but at least it was still quite bright
Anyways, let me get along with blogging. It’s definitely been a while!

Congrats to comedian, Julius Agwu, he married his heartthrob of my years, Ibiere Maclayton in a ceremony in Port Harcount last week.
Julius and IB have been dating for quite a while but according to him, her Dad insisted that she completes her undergrad, NYSC and masters before the marriage. Now that she has graduated from her masters in Oil and Gas Engineering from Robert Gordon University, Scotland, the couple decided it was the right time. CONGRATS!! I love Julius, he’s so funny with an amazing sense of style as well!
According to Julius, “We are going to seven countries (for our honeymoon). We intend to go to Italy, Bahamas, Paris, Miami and other places.”

One of my fav Nigerian contemporary gospel artistes has released her first video, ‘Almighty God’. Love the song! Gogo was on the cover of True Love WA some months ago. I wish her continued success!
Almighty God
