Back again

Sorry people, I've been off the blogosphere for so long. Every time I try to blog, I somehow find a way to dodge the task. Maybe it's because work leaves me fatigued at the end of the day. Right now, I'm sitting hunched over my computer, and it's 1 o'clock in the morning. The things bloggers do. I'm trying to get my lazy fingers to cpmlete this post. Don't blame me if I spell everything backward.
A whole lot has happened in the short while that I've been away, with various people around me trying to outdo themselves with attention-grabbing and sometimes downright outrageous acts.

I don't even want to say anything about the state of affairs in the country right now, before I start to sound like one of those political journalists or whatever they are called. I heard Baba Iyabo was told to come and explain how he spent the Power Sector money, and he became "sick". Atiku Abubakar, on his own part, suddenly could not find a flight from Dubai to Nigeria in time for the hearing, and asked for another opportunity to make his case. Good for them.

I have some scintillating news though. A 22 year-old Nigerian was sentenced to 18 months in prison for hacking into a NASA employee's computer. I'll write more about that later in the day. Right now I'm too groggy to type any more.

Before I go, here's a nice pic to make your day. Pictures like this remind me of just how unique Naija is. The slippers are obviously owned by a very careful individual. Talk of maximum security, lol.

Blogging blues

I woke up this morning, and it felt just like a Saturday morning. Here I was at my laziest best, and getting on my feet was quite a hard task.
Now of all the tasks I had planned in the back of my mind to accomplish today, blogging definitely wasn't included in the list. There are days when blogging isn't so much fun (ask some of us). Sometimes it feels just great to read someone else's blog for a change and take a break from your own crazy ramblings.
To beat the early morning blog blues, all I did was get a cup of coffee, get on the computer and hop round the Nigerian blogosphere. It turned out to be quite an interesting trip, and I must say, a very rewarding one also. I ran across all sorts of Nigerian blogs, with various articles and flavours. Blogging actually seems to be catching on in this country of ours, and that's a nice development.

Now on to other things. There's not much Naija gist out there right now. There's some talk of the NFA giving Berti Vogts the sack, in the wake of his poor performance. Not that I care anyway, I'm tired of their antics.

Gotta run off now. Will be back to post more stuff later in the day.
