Omaks' Speakers Corner Series Quote: Today i start a new initiative with a bit of trepidation. I am aiming to kickstart a trend that may proof popular with fellow forumites on NVS, or fall flat on it's face. Pure and simple, i want to recreate a 'Speakers' Corner' through my blogs.

I woke up this morning with a feeling of sickness, only i'm not really sick. Perhaps again i am sick, home sick that is. Oh yes i'm definitely home sick, and i've been for some months now. Every time now i see myself ruminating over the many happenings in my beloved country Nigeria. My thoughts are laced with all things Nigeria. My discussions are revolved around all things Nigeria. In fact, my choice of tv programmes are mostly Nigerian nowadays. Even my choice of drinks now are Nigerian. I'd rather...

My name is Noah,
I built an Arc,
I built it at home,
Not at the Park,
I brought animals and birds,
Some of them were Strong,

It's like a song,
And i could go on and on.

I woke up this morning to the question , 'How old are you dear'? I am sure at work this morning the question will be 'How old are you now'? Everyone will ask a similar question in different variants during the course of the day.

Yes i'm falling in love again,
With whom you might be thinking,
Myself i say to y'all.
Yes I'm falling in love with myself over again,
and all the people round me are better for it.
My love particularly has noticed a marked difference in the new me.
It's a season to be merry, but it's more like a whole new era of merriment for me and my sweetheart,
It's not borne out of selfishness,
rather i just didn't know how much i had...

When Paul didn't offer to buy breakfast this morning i knew something was amiss. Usually at work, we take turn to buy breakfast for the mob. The mob consists of 5 people, three women and two men (Myself and Paul)
Now there's an unwritten roster of who's turn it it to buy breakfast, and it's definitely Paul's turn. Niki bought breakfast yesterday, while i did the honours on Friday.
Anyway, Amanda must have been very hungry this morning 'cos seeing that Paul was not forthcoming...
