This is Lagos!

Right now, Lagos State is a city submerged in water. This is the outcome of the continuous rain pour experienced yesterday, Sunday 10, July 2011.

When I woke up this morning, I moved at a faster pace, so we would leave the house before the rush hour. By the time we drove out of the compound, we spent at least 40 minutes trying to get to the main road! As soon as we hit the road, I noticed it was exceptionally FREE! Where are all the vehicles? My brother called me, just to warn me not to dare attempt passing through Mile 2 (Apapa/Oshodi-Express road). I thanked him and told him we now drive through an alternative longer route!

Thankfully, I was in the office by 9.00am! Miracle!

I heard Apapa-Oshodi Express Road was a "no go" route. People have been trapped there for hours! I saw some pictures of the flood on line and some were even sent via MMS to phones. Mehn! The whole thing is devastatingly annoying! WHAT?!

One story brought tears to my eyes. It was the story about the little boy that died as a result of the flood. Read more here.

Here are some more pictures I saw online at  http://community.vanguardngr.com

 

The State Government declared today as a work free with a view to reducing the anticipated traffic jam! Well I heard the news while I was almost at work... Well, I really have no choice but to come to work sha

This is Lagos! Eko o ni baje o o o!

Christy Essien-Igbokwe moves on...

 Christy Essien-Igbokwe, also known as "Apena" (New Masquerade)  left this World yesterday morning.

Incidentally, after doing some Tweets with LADYGUIDE, re: #nametheartist yesterday, I just kept singing some of her songs. I was going down memory lane... So you can imagine my shock when I heard the news yesterday evening, that this wonderful woman died early yesterday morning. It only means, while I was singing her songs, she had left this plane...

Apart from "Omo mi seun re re" she also has some other hit songs such as "Give me a Chance" and "Time waits for no one". I remember her album, because the plate was the only LP with a green colour.

She will surely be remembered and missed. I pray that God grants her family the fortitude to bear the loss.

REST IN PEACE AUNTY CHRISTY!

Multiple/Dual Internet Identities!

In the medical field, a patient with multiple personality is said to be suffering from a medical disorder known as "dissociative disorder" In such a situation the patient alternates between two or more personalities.

I wonder what such would be called in the internet world of blogging? I'd appreciate a few suggestions here, if you please. 

Hmmm! I have been operating two different blogger accounts for the past 2-3 months! Confession time! I actually set up the other account to showcase one of my many "talents". My people, I must confess, it had not been easy! Sometimes, when I intend to sign in as Dee! I end up signing in as . . . the other account. This worried me so much because I felt I was not coming out straight. In an attempt to let this heavy load off my chest, I discussed (via chat) the issue with one of my many blogsville friends. Thank you "friend" you are appreciated! In the course of the chat I decided to delete/close the new account and maybe link the new blog to my old account. Whew!

There is an old famous saying that "a problem shared is a problem half solved". Yes, I believe and that is why I chose to do this post. I feel a lot better already!

Enjoy the remaining hours of your weekend!
