Friends, folks, colleagues and acquaintances had often commended my Afrcan prints pants fabrics. Some asked me who my plug is and here is another opportunity to clear the air. Mrs. Abíọ́lá Ọládùnjoyè @byola_fabrics on IG is the sure plug. It's her birthday today and she is always ready for your orders.

My earliest memories of the embodiment of the game of soccer is Edson Arantes do Nascimento. It is so sad that we have lost a great one; the man that single handedly brought the international attention to the United States of America as a footballing nation when he joined Cosmos. In spite of his humble beginning, he represented hope for the up and coming.

I had just seen a goid portion of @womankingmovie Was wondering why the English subtitle referred to the Agojie battle cry as 'undulating.' Would that not have been 'Ululation?' #thinkingoutloud #womanking #primevideo #oyo #dahomeh #nigeria #republiquedubenin #brazil #brasil #yoruba #english #portuguese #movie #subtitle #dm7th #dmajor7th (at Lagos, Nigeria) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmdjL8HN15p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Tag it unprecedented and you would have nailed it right where it matters. His Excellency, Ambassador Fransisco Carlos Soares Luz conferred with the title of JAGUNMÓLÚ ÀṢÀ OLÚ-ÒJÈ and his better half, Her Excellency Mrs. Ivana Panizzi Luz, YÈYÉ JAGUNMÓLÚ ÀṢÀ OLÚ-ÒJÉ. This pioneering act of foresight by a Yorùbá monarch brings HRM Ọba Adéyínká Adéṣínà Àkòfẹ́ Ọbáwálé; Arólú(I) Olú-Òjé Òjénpetu Yorùbá Community of Gadumọ Kingdom, to another kind of limelight among other royal fathers. During the conferment, he laid so much emphasis on the exceptional attention the veteran diplomat has been giving to all that concern culture. He has further strengthened and nurtured the earstwhile strong bond between the Yorùbá Community and the Federative Republic of Brazil and facilitated a greater traffic between the two countries. These were parts of the reason the title was conferred on him and his wife. The Cultural and Educational Attaché to the Consulate General of Brazil, Mr. Adéníran Arímọrọ̀ also got the title of Fàṣàgboyè Olú-Òjé in recognition of his tireless cultural exploits. Other chiefs that were honoured with a title were: Ọmọọba Chief Adésọjí Tàlàbí (MD/CEO Fritots Global Communications PTY Ltd.) - Mójútáṣà Olú-Òjé; Ms. Onome Ogo-Ovwigho (Onome Signature) - Àṣàáwùnmí Olú-Òjé and Ms. Mary Onete Kasim - Àṣàágbèmí Olú-Òjé. The monarch in company of his wife also conferred the titles of Àṣàáyẹ̀lú Olú-Òjé and Gbáṣàníyì Olú-Òjé on Messrs Ísíákà Ọláyínká Aìná (Easy Kampala) and Akíndiméjì Samuel Ọ̀násànyà respectively. Their Excellencies Ambassador Fransisco Carlos Soares Luz and his wife expressed their surprise, joy and appreciation to the monarch, his Olorì, his chiefs and community. Not leaving out the staffs and the facilitators of the historical event; FROSEA GLOBAL ASSOCIATED LIMITED for deeming it fit to expose his gentle exploits to the royalty. He promised to keep up the good work wherever he serves and to keep the Nigerian bond alive. Also present at the event were Reverend Sam Ikpea, National Chairman of the Nigeria Football Supporters Club; Barrister Rónkẹ́ Kọkú, founder and president of Doors Youths Empowerment initiative; members of the NFSC.

*The "Good" Side Don't Win All The Time.* Dunno why it took me this long before reading this; kudos to Mr. John Grisham for taking me through the path of reality.

The Spirit leads on this terrestrial ball, Ever a source of mystery to all; Depth(s) of which provide(s) comprehension Only to the beneficiaries of the revelation. - ANATHEMA: The White Garment Experience. Midway into the 2nd decade of the 20th century, in the southern part of two freshly amalgamated protectorates in subsaharan Africa; God chose to reveal Himself in the most unusual and unprecedented manner. A drop in the ocean which ripples shall outlive even the dawning of the day. An apparently insignificant event that was poised to wrought a global significance beyond the scope of its origin. It was the official documentation of the very first African instituted Christian religious organisation headed by an itinerant preacher from Ìkàrẹ́ Àkókó in Òndó State. The seed of humble beginning which was sown like a praying band of Christians meeting for evensong went ahead to escalate beyond proportion with branches in almost every continents of the world. The consistency of the Spirit of the living God doing in individuals and group of people, what they ordinarily could not have done themselves is a perpetual reality in the first African instituted Christian religious organisation to the discomfiture of her established "senior colleagues." This was naturally accompanied by prejudice, attacks, cold wars in varying levels of brazenness towards the fast growing denomination. This was further aggravated by the practical demonstration and unprecedented affirmation of Mark 16:17-20 in the ministry birthed by God through the unusual vessel of St. Moses Orímọládé Túnọláṣe. The burden of proof may lie on the prosecutor in legal matters however, uninformed decision or conclusion is armful and its responsibility should equally be shared by both the party that shirks the responsibility of providing information and the other, of seeking information. In this wise, CHESER Media Incorporated has responded to the prodding of the Holy Spirit to tell the world the true story, in a language that is very familiar to all and sunder. - Akíndiméjì #anathema #white #garment #experience #documentary #story #music #reality #spirit #revelation #esoteric #cands #kands #celestial (at Cherubim and seraphim church St.Moses Orimolade) https://www.instagram.com/p/CkdF4w0NNre/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Irony Of Life. I've often listened intensely to the studio albums and a few live recordings Àyìnlá Ọmọwúrà the son of Yusuf Gbogbolòwò. On the road, very loud PA system, in transit, in the quiet of my room, even in my sleep. I got more curious when I was going to record Ọpẹ́ Olóore https://youtu.be/PPbW1dA0uWY for my birthday earlier in the year. I must say this here; the details of what happens under Àyìnlá's voice; Adéwọlé's drum and Tájù's ṣẹ̀kẹ̀rẹ̀ never sounded this clear even as I walk on the very busy Oweh Street, Jíbówú/Fádèyí. The low ended support from Aliu (the man on the Àkúbá) and his interplay with Adéwọlé Onílù Ọlà is simply fascinating. Ẹja Ló N'ibú Ẹ Ò Fura. Volume 8 https://youtu.be/KXB4P3PEFU0 exposes the artistic expertise of those that were considered (Ẹ̀mí Anígilájé) by the man that sat on 200 needles and was hurt by none. Adéwọlé Àlàó Onílù Ọlà Bádárù Àkànbí Ajíṣegírí Àrẹ̀mú Orífọ́gò Olúgbòde Àrẹ̀mú Àgídìgbo Aliu Àkúbà Tajudeen Ṣẹ̀kẹ̀rẹ̀ Oseni Èjìrẹ́ Oríadé Adisa Saubana Ẹ̀gi Dauda Àyìnlá Àgọ́ Ọ̀bà Ìṣọ̀lá Kudos to you all. #lagos #abeokuta #egba #Ayinla #apala #music #percussion #EMI #EmiMusic #food #fish #pizza #life #lifestyle #Fadeyi #jibowu #dm7th #dmajor7th #ontheroad #ontheroadagain (at Fadeyi Lagos) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjAvFDZtETb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I may choose to privately iron issues out with anyone who offends me, but will rather laud the laudable acts and attitude of people publicly. I got introduced to Nelson Latif by the office of the Consul General of Brazil in Lagos through the Cultural & Educational Attaché to my boss. I was told to liaise with him as his band, Trio Raiz would be headlining the Brazilian Bicentennial Independence Celebrations. From the first conversation we had, I knew this is not a regular "international star" musician. Fast-forward to Tuesday (a day prior to Sete de Setembro) I was having a late lunch at the restaurant beside the poolside when I recognised Mestre Tolomim a few tables from mine and called Nelson immediately. He picked and I said "I am right behind you." In spite of challenges we had with regards to logistics, visas, flights scheduling, etc., these amazing souls patiently and painstakingly took me through their music (Brazilian music can be dicey) on the same night at a corner of the Sky Restaurant with Marcelo laying out the songs and Nelson writing the changes. Many thanks to the Consulate for pulling this off; HE Francisco Soares Carlos Luz, HE Ivana Panizzi, HE Luisivan Vellar Strelow, the Consular staffs, FROSEA Global Associates, Brazilian Descendants Association, Eko Hotel & Suites, Nordic Hotel, Dotun Israel, FRITOTS Band Tayo Conga & the Tumbadora Band, Prime Qwest Band, Eko Samba Community, Eko Brass Band, Nigeria Football Supporters Club. What great souls you are Viviane, Mestre, Marcelo & Nelson. I so much appreciate the time, camaraderie and these lovely gifts of autographed CDs. I will surely cherish them all while we see again, pretty soon. Viva Republica Federativa do Brazil! Long live Lagos State!

Within the small circles I move around, I've often heard people say "guy, I'd call you whenever I'm in a fix regarding anything at all" and I'd be like "really?" Anyways, here's one of the entities that helped mould the man you now consider a go to person. Like most Idowus I've met, he's a no nonsense kinda man and would rather say it as it is & trash things out on the spot than keep a grudge till the next day. In addition to this, he is a go getter, goal oriented and I've never caught a glimpse of "impossible" in his vocab. I raise a tube of bubbly on your day and keep the hope alive that we shall traverse vaster lands and greater surmount greater challenges together.

We go way back from our Ojọta Primary School days and had seen ourselves on & off until about 7 years ago. Often referred to as Nlanla due to his physique, Hassan Abu is an embodiment of diligence, hard work & focus. It feels so good to see him again today. He’s here with his team working while I dropped by to unwind, celebrate the life of Bàbá Aládùúrà Ọláṣeéni Philip Adéyẹlé (Ọ̀PÁ) and enjoy some good music & jokes by Awesome Tones Band & Jimmy Jairo. #event #party #music #bouncer #egbe #nlanla #hassan #ojota #darefashola #jimmyjairo #yard158 #awesolaabbey #dmajor #dmajor7th https://www.instagram.com/p/CeYYbLjNRnq/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This weekend, I think we can talk about some not too serious areas of our Brazilian thoroughfare. International Women's Day (8th March) & one of the Mother's day (27th March) have come and gone (can't figure out why we have 2 in a year though) but this post shall mention a couple of them. Courtesy Pastor Kúnlé Ọláònípẹ̀kun, the Lagos to Doha hospitality aboard Qatar Airways was quickly dwarfed by the chunks of well prepared ragout we all had to munch on - sem vinho tinto - at Hamad International. 18 hours later, we switched to firewood smoked guinea fowl and the very best of garri Ìjẹ̀bú in the reserved 27th floor apartment of Praça Pedro Lessa 110 apartamento, Centro Histórico de São Paulo. Even when we men went shopping and brought home a bottle of vinegar instead of cooking oil, the ladies got a way round it and made us a great brunch before we set out for the 7 hours bus ride to Rio de Janeiro via Tietê. Our short stop at Guaratinguetá was one of the highpoints of the bus trips as we made new friends (women too); caused a stir on tiktok with the "Onitsha, Owerri, Aba" video; enjoyed some exceptional cuisine (quail egg was bae) and mentally prepared ourselves for the knackered mode that accompanied us to Campo Grande RJ, final destination. @onomystery1 @thebennybillschaperone muito obrigado.
