So I can finally fit into a size 10 again. How many years has it been again.... God is really great... But i still have thunder thighs, aunty risika arms and my stomach is not victoria secret worthy... so i apparently have to go to the gym to tone up.... in celebration of my weightloss i devoured one packet of m and m's and another packet of minstrels (150g each) X_X.... i obviously have a problem.

Why do boys ask about my bra size. It is the sleaziest thing ever. Like i dont know you that well and even the guys I know well arent privy to my size and underwear preferences. The things people will ask you... pffft... It is just like me saying. Oh hi, how many inches is your D.... I like this the D thing people have started saying.

Is it just me?

Am I the only one that finds that nigerian men cry too much? By cry i mean general complaining, whinging and general bitchass behaviour.... Ugh I cant stand it. Be a man. If I say something you don't like. Tell me you don't like it, not go off on a stupid tangent. -_- talking about how girls are this and that.. My friend shut up your dirty mouth. We Girls are just managing you and you are still complaining. Nigeria is the kingdom of the blind, where the one eyed man reigns supreme and the 2 eyed men are hiding somewhere, waiting for a revolution that will never come if they dont suck it up, grow some balls and say ' hey, I am going to be different. I am not going to be a cheating , rat bastard'

The State of Things

Is the Fuel subsidy removal really the main problem? No it isn't. Because if our government was one that we were sure would use the money to improve the standard of living of the people. We would bear it because we know that at the end of the day it would be for our benefit.

But our government is not like that. They will embezzle the money and only enrich themselves. Not caring about the poor, or even the middle class(strangely enough no-one ever cares about the middle class. It is always the poor. Anyway that is for another day.) As I was telling my friend today our parents are the people that got us into this mess. So how do we get ourselves out so our own children won't be able to say the same about us.

Protests are springing up left, right and centre. I'm not saying protests won't work but it has to be " One People, One Voice". The other day I saw someone tweet something about " when will the protest come to lekki so I can join in" . I'm thinking so the people that drove to ikorodu to join in the protests are foolish abi. Lawyers have organised two different protests for today and tomorrow. Surely it doesn't speak well of our NBA that private individuals have to organise individual protests. Shouldn't there be a resounding trumpet call and all legal professionals will gather under one banner? I guess not.

And then these petitions the youths are signing. They are a waste of time. So when the petitions are signed then what. You hand them into the government?? Oga's secretary will squeeze it and throw it inside the bin before it gets to the governor or who ever.

*sigh*

I know I'm rambling but I have too many things to say on this issue.

Just venting since apparently venting on twitter may get you flayed. A follower said something about how she wishes the movement hadn't been named #OccupyNigeria and people started attacking her saying " does the name matter and what not" which is fine in itself. The name doesn't matter. Disagreeing with someone is part of life. We will never all agree. It is the tone of disagreement I have a problem with. At the end of the day her point is valid. This is not an occupy movement. We adopted a word without actually thinking about it. Why can't someone comment on that? The person is not belittling the movement in anyway so why attack like rabid dogs..

Oh yeah back to the protests.. *sigh* I don't know what to say. Our government does not care about us. That is the real truth. . They have no heartstrings which will be tugged. They will only see it as a small nuisance which the police can come and sort out with tear gas.

Big Massive Thank You to the Kano Protesters. What they did is amazing by any standards. And when this is over the state should erect some type of monument and get some type of reward because they have made history..

I remember suggesting an economic strike and I was shut down. The NLC suggests it and suddenly we are all on board. Things that the NLC have however not considered
- How will the poor feed : You cannot call an indefinite strike when people will go hungry. How about organising food drives first.
- How will you convince people not to go to work for the whole period. After the first couple of days I feel the market women and the cobblers and the meat sellers will go back to work. Why? Because they don't really understand why we are fighting. They may not understand the long term effects. For them as long as they can pass on the price increase to their customers they are fine..

What I believe in is a strategic economic plan. First of all infiltrate the houses of the governors and the presidential villa's. Convince the people who work there not to go to work. Trust me if GEJ had to go outside to put on his generator or cook his own food or buy his own Nepa credit then he will be willing to listen. As I see it, it will just be a waiting game which the government will win as they get free fuel and have stockpiles of food already at their command. Make them actually suffer and they will be more willing to negotiate.

Obviously I use these things as a representation. Once the government starts losing money because of an economic black out they will sit up and listen and it has to be one that will stand the test of time. For now what the NLC proposes might fail. I hope it doesn't because I would rather be told " I told you so" as opposed to saying it.
