REFLECTIONS by BiliMaffy

I have been struggling with timing, I have so much so that, I sometimes wish I could add more to the twenty-four hours as it seems never to be enough. I have been constantly reminded why, I wouldn’t want the kind of job that would take me away from doing some other things I love, like writing for instance (in this case “Typing”; which I happen to enjoy as well). The major thing I know is stalling my Blog update is, the fact that, I have grown somewhat lazier in writing. These days, I often wonder if I can still write legibly (eyes rolling)! Hmm, maybe am being a little exaggerative there, of cause my handwriting’s still legible. I only have to remind myself that am writing something serious in order to write better than my self-devised wobbly handwriting. Now to serious matters. I lost an Uncle last Friday. No matter how old our loved ones grow, we still want them around for as long as possible. And it is in this spirit that I mourn the late Architect Remigius Adekoya-Ajayi. I had...

I would leave for Lagos , Nigeria , tomorrow, this time last year. It just reminded me of my granny, I had no idea I would be seeing her for the last time. But am grateful I saw her. I remember how excited I was, I had packed about two weeks before now, since we had to change the ticket twice. Whao! How time flies!

It doesn’t feel like it’s been a year already, the memories are still very fresh…But, as much as am homesick now, there’s no hope of traveling how anytime soon….Signing out for now!

If you asked me, I’d say I couldn’t care less what’s making headliners at the moment. After the long awaited, elegant wedding of Prince Williams and Kate made news around the globe, America felt the need to also  make a bigger headline by announcing the supposed death of Osama bin Laden. Who wouldn’t like to hear that the man that had sent shivers running through the files, screens, camps, hide outs, what not; of the CIA, and America as a nation, was not captured, but killed eventually? I mean, this man had been a bane to America and what better way to put the minds of America and the “world” at rest, than to kill Osama? At least there wouldn’t be further security measures to complain about, especially when it “invades” on people’s privacy as the citizens have been clamouring an end to the existing ones? How would America issue Visa to investors or grow its economy, when everyone’s afraid of an unsuspecting bomb blast? Who would want to keep coming to America for holidays, kno...
