The man pictured above is dead.He was said to be a lover of bikes during his lifetime. So, his family decided to honour him while dead by placing him on a bike during wake keep. How incredible and wierd!
They call it wake keep, I call it waste of time. If you walk into a funeral and you saw this, what will you do?
Today, India marks its 66th independence anniversary. The major contact I’d had with Indians is their movie industry called bollywood. Here are some observations about that:
1. Every movie has the same storyline. In the old days, movies always involved the hot guy saving the hot girl from the villains. Now, the hot guy falls in love with the girl, but somehow they just can’t or don’t want to be together, so the movie is a series of events which makes
them fall for each other. Where is the originality?
2. There are so many issues in the world but a Bollywood film will always be a love story showing a middle aged actress falling in love with a hero who looks like her kid brother.
3. The singing and dancing. Every 20 minutes, the actor bursts into song and, instantly, all the village people/college students/people at the mall/wedding guests start singing and dancing in sync with each other. Haba! How did they get to know the dance steps/lyrics?
4. The sound effects accompanying the fake punches and kicks. The same sounds are used for every action sequence in every movie. Bullets are seemingly absorbed into the hero’s skin and he usually loses his shirt in the fracas.
5. The vulgarity. Was it really necessary for the heroine needs to strip down to a bikini just to dance?
6. Movies that deal with serious issues have at least one comedic character. The viewers don’t need some wannabe cowboy with a ditzy blonde for a girlfriend as comic relief.
7. The westernisation of Indian movies is really laughable, as if they’re trying to convince themselves that that’s what they really are. Which Indian family happily lets their daughter and sisters drive in top-open
cars, picking up their guy friends and going to dance clubs in locations which look strangely like Italy?
8. The songs. You know there’s something seriously wrong when you hear that someone’s 4-year-old daughter can sing that insane ‘Sheila’ song but still can’t recite the alphabet.
9. Their movies are too long. The song ‘Ab Tumhare Hawale Watan Saathiyon’ in the film by the same name is the longest Hindi film song. The length of this iconic song is 20 minutes and the song is featured in three installments in the film.
10. Never mind all these stories up there! Indian movies have good story-lines anyway! Among the most interesting knowledge-based ones (I can remember) I had seen are; Three Idiots, Every Child is Special (Like Stars on Earth), Robot, Game, Suriavansham and Players. What interests you about Indians?

It is true that food keeps the body in order and is a major source of our sustenance. However, when and how you take the food could bring negative consequences on your health.
Do you know?
• Any food you consume after 8 p.m. every day is could be poisonous to your body
• Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. If you must skip any meal, it shouldn’t be breakfast
• Excess of red meat consumption is very dangerous to your health?
• For every bottle of soft drink you consume, you have just taken 9 cubes of sugar, and it takes 7 days for it to wash off your body. This makes men increase their likelihood of having a heart attack by 20 percent.
• Fried meat is a killer. It is damaging your body.
• People who do not take breakfast risk having lower blood sugar level.
• Drinking water only when you are thirsty is obtaining a license to damage your liver.
• Adding salt into your food when it is already served is another way of slowly poisoning yourself and vital organs.
• Observing the routine of proper eating: Eat BREAKFAST like a KING, LUNCH like a PRINCE and DINNER like a BEGGAR would help you live longer. Please, take care of your health!
HEALTH IS WEALTH
Don’t my PIN
Lol! See this lady o! She is really being protective of her private property. The notion of keeping one’s PIN private is always the best. That is her own way of following instructions not disclose her ATM PIN to anybody. Take care of yours too so that one baboon would eat what your monkey worked and toiled for o!

Be Wise!
I recall dad telling me about a man in my Neighborhood who became popular for engaging in money rituals just to buy the 80’s edition Honda Prelude. Bet it with me, you wouldn’t buy that car for 50k today.
I remember as a kid, my whole street converged to watch a truck deliver a very large satellite dish to my neighbor’s house. Today a dish one tenth that size delivers 5 times the value and is in almost every poor man’s room (e.g. Startimes).
What about the Volkswagen Santana, Mercedes Benz
V booth, 505 cocaine, all overtaken by Camry,Honda discussions and Infinity? …. Vanity.
Back in 2002, a friend declared drinks (not hard ones o!) for the boys because he just launched the Nokia Communicator for over a hundred grand in 2002. Today, that phone would embarrass the owner and is a joke compared to the low cost and everyday phone (3310 etc). What about the MTN sim card that many people went extra miles before they bought for over 30k? Today, you will not buy it at N100.
People are still making the most amazing sacrifices over the ‘vainest’ of things, make enemies over worthless material things. What can I say? Look back at that one thing you want to kill or die for today and see what becomes of it tomorrow.
Slow down with the sense of attachment and blind
pursuit of things, for today’s ‘gold’ is tomorrow’s
‘copper’.
So be wise!

The travails of an entrepreneur
This is a portrayal of a typical entrepreneur in an part of the world. It is true that successful entrepreneurs are known for pursuing their strong visions and overcoming many obstacles on the way to achieving them. Many entrepreneurs face issues such as how to organise their succession planning in a suitable,
structured manner, while still allowing them to access their assets, thus enabling them to continue to pursue their entrepreneurial activities.
But a situation where government through its agencies are after you to pay various bills isn’t always an interesting thing to behold. In this picture, the entrepreneur is working while all those standing around him (labeled in the fashionable Nigerian tags) are waiting to collect their share.
All I can say is kudos to the successful entrepreneurs against the odds of these pests!
What’s your thought please?

As Muslims all over the world mark the end of the Ramadan fast with the Eid-el-Fitri today, I think it’s important to share this!
The man in this picture is purportedly crying over his inability to don the festive dressing on the day of eid. He had given the dress to his tailor who failed to meet up with the deadline. He is crying over the disappointment. If you were in his shoes, would you do the same?
If I were him, I wouldn’t be bothered by that. Afterall, there were many people that started the Ramadan but didn’t grace today. I would urge him to think of a family member or friend or member of the community he knew that died over the past year. Did they know that last year would be their last Ramadan and that they wouldn’t make it to this year’s Ramadan? What about those alive but had not means of buying the clothing?
Indeed, the month of Ramadan had taught us humility, perseverance, love, self-restraint among other virtues. Why not thank Allah for seeing you through this one! Did I hear you say ALHAMDULILLAH? Just be thankful in whatever condition you find yourself! Utilize every breath after Ramadan to keep living Ramadan.
Eid Mubarak!
Stop them whenever you see such happen elsewhere! It isn’t good a act. What if they get injured? What if the fence falls? Parents have to be watchful of where their wards go!
Take heed!
