At the Nwokemodo's I dos





If you're planning a wedding, and you have a large family and your intended also comes from family that's a village on its own , a lot of time and arrangements are needed. For instance, you might want to consider not inviting outsiders at all if you want a normal sized wedding as both your family members will merge into a little community of witnesses. But then in Nigeria what fun would that be?So, you already have one community down pat and then friends will come with their families and other friends who will bring their own friends and families as well....and of course 'mogbomoya'. By the time everyone has gathered, you might have a little challenge on your hands but luckily for you, you'll be at the high table and pass your time grinding your teeth, or biting your lips whatever means you can employ to let out frustration at some of the things you'll be seeing. But I love our weddings and so it was a beautiful day as my Nigerian half cast sister Oluchi Eno and her hunky gorgeous beau  Ejikeme Nwokemodo exchanged vows and 24TH August,2013 became permanently engraved in gold for them.

Big brother africa and The Dillish surprise.

The five big brother the chase finalists left the house that has been their home for ninety one days today in the following order: Beverly and Melvin from Nigeria,Elikem from Ghana, Cleo(Zambia) and Namibia's Dillish. That means that Dillish(the barbie doll) won the $300,000. Ok, for a starter, I haven't been a Dillish fan majorly because I'm not a huge fan of barbie dolls,never been ,probably a childhood issh maybe..., and because I thought she was extremely fake, can anyone be that perfect? as it turns out yes is the answer because Dillish kept up her act from day one till the end.
Something arrested me though the first time I listened to her diary room session; she told big brother that she wasn't going to be confrontational with anyone, she was going to let the big ones fight and ignore her and after ninety one days she was going to quietly take home her money. I thought she was too cocky and conceited as well, but then then there was a lot of wisdom in what she said as it turns out that the big and terrible ones fell before her.
Another amazing and striking thing about this surprise win is the fact that Dillish had never been a Head of house, never won the power of 'no!' , no bad girl shenanigan gigs and she was never confrontational and true to her words, she quietly with cute fine girl's tears took her money home. Food for deep thoughts.
