Tins r happenin'

Alright!

So I have promised myself that I am not going to start with any lame promises about how I am back to blogsville for good and will post at least once every week and yada yada yada. I think I have proved to myself and to my one (or is it two sef) followers that I am incapable of keeping that promise. The exigencies or work crowd my plate and I barely have enough space for myself. Anyway, my work self has apologized to my blogging self for selfishly taking all of our time and my blogging self has graciously accepted the apology...lol! Abeg o!! I no fit shout!

So quite a lot has happened to me and to the world since the last time I was here. Michael Jackson passed on and I was amazed at the sheer outflow of emotions that trailed the passage of this man who was usually a victim of global villification for most of his life time. I mean, the last time I remember seeing people of all nations so unified in grief was after 9/11 when Osama bin Hiden's ( where the hell is that dude newayz?) goons brought down WTC.

Even my grand-aunt in the village heard of the passing of the legend and she was so sad she lost her appetite...lol. Even though M.J. has proved to be even more controversial in death than he was alive, I still mourn the passing of this mega-talented dude who in my opinion, was hounded out of life by the very people who are shedding crocodile tears now.

A moment of silence for Michael: May his soul rest in peace.

Another great guy that passed on during this time was my dad. Yep! He passed on at the ripe old age of 92. My first reaction when I heard of his death was: "My father cannot die!!!" Don't blame me. When you know a my father like I knew him, you just can't begin to conjure up images of him lying down lifeless. He was so full of life and verve...I'll dedicate my next blog entry to my father. He was a great guy. Another moment of silence: Rest in peace sir.

Oh yes!

There's been a major shake-up in the banking industry with some bank ogas who before now paraded squeaky clean credentials, thrown out of work and handed over to the corruption investigation agencies for alleged abuse of office. The charges are overwhelming and will be damning if proved as true at the end of the day. While good old cynical me says nothing will come out of all the drama at the end of the day, a larger part of me hopes that that the new CBN helmsman follows through on ensuring that these people face the law if found guilty.

Maybe then, we can start taking ourselves serious about fighting the hydra called corruption.

I say I dey come...
