I have left Coventry for good, I have moved to Birmingham!
Moving was hectic, in trying to be economical (I saved about 40 pounds), I had to make 3 trips from Coventry to Birmingham carrying about 5 heavy bags each time. but it would have been a lot harder without having my man Jude, drop me [...]
At the start of this year, I listed improving my writing skills as one of my goals of the year. Towards that end, I resolved to write about three blog posts a week. I started on a bright note (about 4 in the first 10 days) then I hit a sudden bump. The reason was [...]
Today is my 27th birthday and I feel too old. Too old not to have made a mark on this world yet.
Let me give a little background to my little rant.
My life’s vision is simple: To inspire a new generation of Nigerian Internet Entrepreneurs through education and mentoring. (It will be revised if the [...]
" If you live everyday like it was your last, one day you most certainly will be right"- Unknown, but I heard the quote from Steve Jobs Stanford speech.
Before I begin, I wish to answer the “God forbid”, “Watch what you” say peeps. I do not wish to die yet, same as the one [...]
If you want to know how short this year was, don’t look at Obama’s Inauguration. Can you believe it was in February Chris Brown beat Rihanna?
The year 2009 was interesting in many ways and started on a challenging note… though quite a lot happened this year but some things just stand out… in no order [...]
On the weekend of October 23rd, I had the pleasant opportunity to visit a British home as part of the HOST UK program. I heard about HOST UK relatively late into my course in the UK. It is essentially a program for foreign students to experience REAL British life by visiting a British home for a [...]
I am writing this open letter to you my dear flatmates, I just think it would be appropriate to do It on my last night here. Contrary to what I have said, I WILL miss you all. The reason is so simple, you are the guys I have lived with right from my first night [...]
How do you explain a trip to heaven? Well, that is the task set before me so expect it to be a bit mumbled up.
It all started with an innocent sounding (my normal ringtone) call from Chuka on Tue during the match between Arsenal and Liverpool. He told me that he won a prize sponsored [...]
I really looked forward to attending the conference with my Nigerian students. The thought of a weekend far away from this our exciting Coventry with my people reminded me of class trips back home. There was always only one outcome, FUN!!
As the postgrad rep and a point man for ICONS in Warwick, I excitedly [...]
Since I have been going through some tough times in my life and was lagging in the tasks I set forth for myself, I decided to take time out to re evaluate my life. I have always known that I have a lot of potential but potential must be converted to kinetic energy for it to be useful (Akpeks thanks for that yarn). I have not taken my school work as seriously as I should and I am very shamefully lagging in my project I thought I would have almost completed by now amongst many plans and projects occupying my little mind. Consequently, I decided to go on a retreat and I searched for places until I settled for Hartley Woods (they were kind enough to give me a discount).
Day One (15th April)
Being the Capricorn that I am, I sought to find the most economical way to get to Uttoxter (UTT). It was suppose to be cheaper by almost 30% if I connected through Wolverhampton that going to Uttoxter from Coventry directly. Well, the saying penny wise pound foolish (did using the actual currency play a role?) could not have been more on point.
