<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">If you have ever driven at night
in Lagos, Nigeria; you can relate with this (or maybe not). <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">After a very long time, I decided to drive at night and could not help but notice the blinding lights of the
oncoming cars that ensured I could not see what was ahead of me; how dangerous
is that? One moment I had a relatively clear view of what was ahead of me and
the next; I was singing to Kanye’s <i>‘flashing
lights’. <o:p></o:p></i></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span lang="EN-GB">Even using my rear view mirror
was a problem, the bright lights from the car behind me must have been hell

sight. It happened time and time again after every few cars. That was one
loooooooooooooong car ride; 7 minutes long. The bottom of my car kissed one too many potholes that night and does so every night I have to drive (yes, my
car flirts too). But what do you care? You blinded me so you could drive
through. You don</span><span lang="EN-GB">’</span><span lang="EN-GB">t know me and

Most people immediately understood my frustrations but claimed to be guilty
parties and blamed it on lack of (working) street lights, PHCN, Government and
other things. I felt the urge to blame Government as well because I pay my road
tax (not totally true). I just bought my car so every time I delve into a pot hole it feels like a prick from a needle. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span lang="EN-GB">That blame culture has eaten
deep into the society. Our default mode is rapidly drifting to find someone to
blame rather than look within for matters arising. We use our full lights when
driving at night so we can get home safe to our families (I can</span><span lang="EN-GB">’</span><span lang="EN-GB">t begrudge you that) and care
less if the next man has an accident as a result of our actions. Hey, I thought

<span lang="EN-GB"><span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">So far, my worst experience has
been an oncoming driver blinding me with his full lights, switching over to my
lane (I guess to avoid a pot hole) and then approaching me head-on. Five

<br />
I rarely remember quotes but this one stands out for me ... and it's one of the few I quote frequently (mostly to encourage myself) - <b><i>You can only connect the dots looking backwards - Steve Jobs.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
From late 2009, I was dissatisfied with life and my contribution to it. During one of my prayer sessions, I remember saying '<i>God, if this laptop won't make me money, at least it will serve you'</i>. So after much thought,<a href="http://griptime.blogspot.com.ng/2010/01/beginning-of-beginning.html" target="_blank"> I decided to start a blog and on January 14, 2010 I did. </a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So I wrote and I wrote, and as with anything in life I got a bit better (I think) because I committed so much time to it. My joy was restored and I got a few pats on the back. I just kept at it and it seemed to change the way I viewed things. Every conversation, billboard, object, ANYTHING I came across became a working tool. All I could think of was how can this person, thing, song, place, event or whatever inspire my next post?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not long after, my laptop packed up and I didn't feel too bad, I got a new one and kept on blogging and kept feeling fulfilled. Recently, someone told me he used one of my old blog posts as an analogy about four years later and it gave me joy to know that a few people relate with the things I write enough to hold on to it for years to come. <b><i>(I'm waaaay up, I feel blessed - Big Sean's voice).</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Not long after, I was asked to overcome my shyness and perform poetry at a friend's event because they did not have enough artistes for the night. I did and a few people were blown away and I got a few gigs lined up after that. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While working at a call centre in Manchester, I found our customers very interesting and started a diary where I made notes on several phone call experiences. A few years later, I compiled it and created a fictional series on it which I titled <b><i><a href="http://yafri.ca/by-the-way-public-apology-pt-11/" target="_blank">'By the way'</a></i></b> (click and read) and I shared on Y! Africa platform. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In January 2014, I had a thought of making it a TV series and I shared the idea with another creative. He bought into it and took it to the next level. We worked night and day, day and night for several months to make it a reality. At some meetings, they will ask who is the writer and when I identified myself as the writer, it was a s good as kissing that opportunity goodbye. And honestly, I do't blame them, the first script I wrote was WOEFUL. It was on a word document and it was ....., yes it was woeful.<br />
<br />
My partner shared a script writing software with me and I went to the school of Google and read, watched everything I could on script writing. I learnt a bit and wrote the script. The actors <u>seemed</u> to like it and the people on the project buzzed about the script (of course they had to, we would have kicked them off; I'm joking). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On November 18, 2014 (a day after my birthday) we started shooting and when I got on set and saw people bringing to life lines I wrote in my bedroom - I felt emotional (I didn't shed a tear).<br />
<br />
And now my second laptop is bringing me money as I keep writing scripts with it. (People keep saying I need to change it because it is OLD). I've been involved in several writing projects and the buzz is different when I walk into a room now. I'm not saying I'm the ish ... but I'm the ish (in my head). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Two weeks ago, I walked into a room filled with people who had achieved so much and done so much for the movie industry. To be honest, I was intimidated. Then the convener said I'm the luckiest man he knows because there were several scripts from different writers but it was when he was going through mine that the rest of the team forced him to make a decision and he picked me. Of course I had everything he was looking for but I wasn't the only one.<br />
At that point, it clicked in my head again I'm favoured with men. You call it luck. So I spent the rest of the day developing a script with them and I'll say it again I'm blessed. I never dreamed of working with these people because I honestly never saw myself in this field - It just happened. Actually it didn't just happen. It's been at least five years in the making, I just didn't see it coming. I was living my life one day at a time but God is never myopic. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In addition to that, I've written songs that people have worshiped to and connected to God with and that is just ... humbling. Because I'm just that guy ... I'm just that guy. Sometimes in my quiet time, I forget lyrics to songs so just make them up as I go, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I'm not at the end of my journey but I am confident enough to know everything happens for a reason and I will connect the dots looking backwards. So the things that happen today that I don't understand ... I'll trust God and love Him because I know all things work together for my good ... for Lani who loves God. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>In the evening of my life, I will know how much God has blessed me. </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I hope my blogging becomes constant again. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div dir="ltr">
White, red, purple, blue<br />
Green, yellow, ring, hello <br />
I call on friends who sometimes don’t answer <br />
Before I call on You, You are there with options <br />
That is 50 shades of awesome </div>
<div dir="ltr">
You are not like man <br />
You don’t pick and choose and love some <br />
You don’t hold a grudge and loathe some <br />
I made You promises that I didn’t keep <br />
You anger for a moment but favor me for life <br />
That is 50 shades of awesome</div>
<div dir="ltr">
Beyond that which I can comprehend <br />
Without You I lose my confidence <br />
In me and mankind; when man is unkind <br />
The ones I call leaders make rules <br />
Then break the same rules but not You <br />
You exalted Your word above Your name <br />
That gives me confidence in The Living Truth <br />
That is 50 shades of awesome </div>
<div dir="ltr">
The man I call dad comes home late<br />
Smelling of cheap high but not You <br />
You are the most High <br />
And when we speak most nights <br />
I sense the 50 shades of awesome </div>
<div dir="ltr">
As a creative I’m quick to appreciate anything created <br />
Others can’t and are quick to criticize and debate it <br />
When I reflect and realize this whole place was void <br />
No roads, no stones, no songs, no poems<br />
No words, no beautiful colors like </div>
<div dir="ltr">
White, red, purple, blue <br />
Green, yellow .... </div>
<div dir="ltr">
And all the 50 shades of Awesome …<br />
That You are </div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
Being a youth; everyone older feels they have the right to play adult in
your life and throw advice your way. Hear them all but do not listen to everything.
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
It is a beautiful thing being a youth; it is where we go from thinking
<b><i>all</i></b>
things are possible to realizing <b><i>some</i></b> things are impossible. The
definition of <b><i>‘some’</i></b> depends on the ability to dream, strength of character
and focus. The world is full of dream killers and I am not talking about
enemies or haters even. People that love you genuinely will tell you certain
things cannot be done, certain achievements are not for children and certain
paths are too dangerous. Sometime it feels like they despise you but on the
contrary they love you deeply. They just do not know any better. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
In my early twenties, there wasn't any existent taxi service company
in my country so I was going to start one with a good friend. I mentioned it to
my family as they were the ones I trusted the most; hold on. Maybe the reason I
mentioned it was because they were going to be my financiers. Either way I told
them and they put up several good reasons why it would be best for me not to
plunge into that business; one of them being it would not be profitable. I
agreed with them. A few years later, while watching CNN with my family, they
interviewed the CEO of one of the many taxi service companies in my country and
someone turned to me and said ‘<b><i>that could have been you’</i></b>. I smiled
and I hurt inside. He went further to say he was wrong many ago. But ‘many
years ago’ is long gone. That is my story; one of them. What will yours be? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
I’ll hate for you to think this is me telling you to rebel against
family or discard the words of others; because it is not. On the contrary, you
need sound advice on your journey to greatness. This is me telling you that
while defining your <b><i>‘some’</i></b>; be strong, be careful and be fearless. As you encounter
that phase between childhood and maturity; know what you want and learn from
the experience of others. As long as you encounter people on a daily basis, you
will live a life of impact. It is entirely up to you to decide if that impact
will be negative or positive; I hope it is the latter. As clichés go, the world
is your oyster. To paraphrase Alicia Keys ‘<i>The
day will come when the risk it takes to remain tightly enclosed in a bud is
more painful than the risk it takes to bloom’</i>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
Most people cannot see past that which already exists. But you are not
most people. You are dreamer. Allow the dreamer in you blossom. The only thing
I ask of you is to … <b>wake up and live
the dream <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
If this all comes as advice to you, you know what to do with it - read
them all but do not listen to everything.<o:p></o:p></div>

My phone developed a fault<br />
It can't be fixed<br />
I lost contacts<br />
I lost pictures<br />
I lost chats <br />
What hurt the most is;<br />
Lost voice notes<br />
Lost notes<br />
Is it bad?<br />
Is it bad I value my thoughts over people in my life?<br />
Maybe I have gone too far<br />
Maybe not<br />
Maybe I am being too harsh on me<br />
Truth is;<br />
The contacts can be regained<br />
But not my thoughts<br />
This is not my post<br />
My post was lost<br />
With my phone<br />

My bed calls me a stranger<br />
Your heart is my new home<br />
Alaba makes me a beggar<br />
My IP is their new gold<br />
I'm walking on tiptoes<br />
They are doing 60's on ring roads<br />
There are bomb blasts<br />
Wonder how long the burn lasts<br />
You see hope vapourize<br />
While the smoke thickens<br />
Pharoah could play hero<br />
While leaders play chicken<br />
I've heard grown men cry<br />
And little kids lie<br />
I've seen body parts fly<br />
While Authorities crawl<br />
I've heard fellow citizens talk<br />
And me! I just write<br />
<br />

Some want freedom<br />
Some want justice<br />
Some want both<br />
Is that a luxury?<br />
<br />
Some have beauty<br />
Some have brains<br />
Some have both<br />
Is God selfish?<br />
<br />
Some are beautiful<br />
Some are ugly<br />
Some are both<br />
Is that make up?<br />
<br />
Some love you<br />
Some do not<br />
Some both<br />
Is that confusion? <br />
<br />
Some drive cars<br />
Some drive you mad<br />
Some do both<br />
Is that your wife?<br />
<br />
Some laugh<br />
Some cry<br />
Some both<br />
Is that being human?<br />

I used to walk in a room and barely know two people<br />
Now I walk in a room and I'm trying to dodge people<br />
I can't say it enough, thanks for the love people<br />
I don't take it for granted, I count on your love people<br />
Lighters in the air for all those who lost people<br />
I'm praying for strength, for all of the Lord's people<br />
Who travel so far to bring back the lost people<br />
I'm hoping on hope for all of the young people<br />
My heart bleeds out for all of the lost people<br />
<div>
It happens time and again, it feels like we are cursed people </div>
Yet we always find new hope, that says a lot people<br />
Some in the bottle, that's false hope for drunk people<br />
We are stronger than most, some call us ox-people<br />
The truth simply is, we are just God's people<br />
Love is love, what's all the fuss people<br />
Don't give up on us, keep showing love people<br />

Christianity without love is mere religion<br />
Religion starts wars, wars kill sons<br />
Sons have visions, wars kill visions<br />
The rich fund wars, wars need guns<br />
Daughters get raped, bastards are born<br />
Wars breed bastards, homes get torn<br />
Hearts get cold, there's a new harvest<br />
The soil drinks blood, they don't use caskets<br />
Revenge won't end the rot, only love will<br />
Show a man how to love, you've shown him how to win<br />
Christianity is love, love is God<br />
If love is lost, your faith is dud<br />
If the love grows cold, then the love is vintage<br />
That's all too abstract, here is a love image<br />
To get to a lady's south, a man starts north<br />
So I hope we don't ignore the war going on up north<br />
Or they'll screw us<br />

Hope, lies and memories have nothing in common<br />
Till your hope lies in memories, I learnt that from Common<br />
Don't trade in your memories for silver and gold<br />
The market is slow, the returns are low<br />
You might feel out of place like KYI on IFM<br />
Like David Moyes on Man U's bench<br />
That's out of line, I apologise<br />
But never stand in line or you'll wait for life<br />
Life will pass you by, then you'll wait for nights<br />
So you can dream while they live on lies<br />
And they prey on I's and feed on You's<br />
I believe in I's, I believe in You's<br />
It'll happen, if it's late, you can blame Daniel Levy<br />
If you not a Yiddo, then you just can't get it<br />
If you don't get it, you didn't dare to dream<br />
If you don't dream, you are dead already<br />
<br />

I'm trying to grow in my Christian life so I decided to join the maturity class in my Church. Part of it includes working with the traffic controlling team. I actually enjoyed it. Usually, I use my hands to write the things you read... this time it was controlling traffic and for some weird reason got excited because people were following the orders of my hands.<br />
<br />
I remembered a really good performance on 'hands' by Sarah Kay (Def Jam Poetry) I watched a few years ago and thought I'll share . Please enjoy it below;<br />

You know all the fake Church ministers<br />
Who desire attention and feel like mini stars<br />
They may tell the girl not to wear that mini skirt<br />
But shut the door when they want to counsel (cancel) them<br />
Ssssssssssh, who am I to judge?<br />
I only went to bar to get some drinks<br />
I see this fine fine lady, I be trying to 'Lynxx'<br />
She got 6 inch heels and waist length hair<br />
She wants gin and juice, so less truth than dare<br />
We can hunt to together, but no shooting bears<br />
She don’t know me well, but she knows men like me<br />
And she knows this well, she don’t like men like me<br />
She has this friend called Melanie<br />
Who had a sex friend who got her an SUV<br />
Nice as pie but he had a wife<br />
She went to Church to change her life<br />
He was the pastor; and she can’t get past that<br />

<b><i><br /></i></b>
<b><i>How do I tell her;</i></b><br />
I noticed she stays longer in front of the mirror<br />
I noticed she smells like a perfume we never bought<br />
She smells like cigarettes even though she doesn't smoke<br />
She's always pinging even when I'm next to her<br />
She smiles at me when I didn't even tell a joke<br />
She smiles forcefully when I do tell a joke<br />
I saw the love note in her pocket<br />
She can't wait to get out of bed and go to work<br />
Everyday<br />
<br />
<b><i>How do I tell;</i></b><br />
If I'm being paranoid<br />
If I still love her<br />
If I'm right<br />
If I'm being insecure<br />
If I'm wrong<br />
<br />
<b><i>How do I;</i></b><br />
leave?<br />
not leave?<br />
<br />
<b><i>How do;</i></b><br />
you seat in front of your computer screen and judge me?<br />
judge us?<br />
judge her?<br />
<br />
<b><i>How? </i></b><br />

Ever heard the story of<br />
Pharaoh and the slaves, Egypt and the plagues<br />
It's more or less the same, even though we're speaking change<br />
The blind lead the unblind, we'll never get there on time<br />
when the unblind take pole position, they lose their vision<br />
aaaargh, it's a vicious cycle<br />
Family matters, they don't see me; Steven Urkle<br />
Stampedes, earthquakes and missing airplanes<br />
I hope now you see God, you missing answers<br />
Same streets, different faces<br />
Same kicks, different laces<br />
Same kicks, different paces<br />
Same rhymes, but nothing's changing<br />
In this cold, cold world, where dog eat dog<br />
What's cats gonna do? huh<br />
These are hard, hard times and it's testing my faith<br />
What's a man gotta do? huh<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just over a year ago, I got introduced to Nosa when I heard his song <i>'I will always pray for you'</i>. I was thrilled and still am. Good tune, different message, quality content and I'd say an evergreen. Another individual doing gospel music the way non Christians will be attracted to it without diluting his message. BIG UPs. So I watched the video as well and I was well impressed; </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
At this point, I also want to shout out to the mayor, Audu Maikori and his team, Chocolate City for signing a gospel artiste and promoting him. I wonder if Nosa got the same criticisms Mali Music got when he linked up with Akon. I loved his response with his song - GO. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
What you cannot deny is he has had access to greater platforms and more resources. And judging by the overall quality of content on the album - no Word dilution; BIG UPs to them all. </div>

This is where I call home, sweet home and<br />
at night, this is where I lay my head and<br />
It's here I thought to breed my eggs and<br />
It's where I met my girl and<br />
I broke her heart here too<br />
and I, broke every promise that I promised ever to adhere to<br />
I took a trip down the road and<br />
that's when we grew apart and<br />
memories linger on in my own apartment<br />
I got Akon's ghetto on replay<br />
heart on my sleeve, no tatts on display<br />
what I see with my eyes and hear with my ears<br />
Is nothing that I'll like my young tots to say<br />
my next line could be cliche<br />
so scrap that<br />
this is homecoming, touche!<br />
How's that?<br />

Where was
you when I … <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Got my first
kicks, they stole my first kicks <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Jumped on
the track, flopped on my first kicks <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Played it to
my friends, I got some phresh diss <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Told my girl
I tried, she made a fresh dish <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Did some
things later I can’t put in the song <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Cos she’s
done moved on, popped out a son <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I missed the
first hole, you missed my first low <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
If it’s not
real gold, then that’s a false glo <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Tell Mike I
lost men, I need a new friend <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
I can handle
the truth, a few good men <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Our own LXG,
a new legacy <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
All dogs go
to heaven, what about the ticks? <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Can’t forget
my ol’ dawgs, who taught me old tricks <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Take a bus
ride then a minute cab to the club <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Those are
dawg terms that you went a screwed up <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
Swapping the
fun times in search of ‘star times’ <o:p></o:p></div>
That’s cheap
…<br />

This is my 16 bars for the streets<br />
For the 16 boys from the streets<br />
I'll never meet and never know<br />
But got me feeling for 16 magas overseas<br />
Who mortgaged their future on their greed<br />
Not really an issue if it's based on belief<br />
Now there lies the issue<br />
Where you basing your issues on certain non issues<br />
See they heard Blackmagic<br />
And went and did blackmagic<br />
From fear to habit<br />
And now they addicts<br />
That's 16 boys from 16 moms<br />
Weak like fish limbs with sick schemes<br />
Want big things by 16<br />
So got 16 moms sleeping less every night<br />
