Lynx:- wildcat found prowling the wilds of North America and Eurasia. Also: male body spray known to fell women(not in a good way) with its pungent aroma.
Lynxxx:- Sexy beast found on the Lagos music scene. Also: Panty-dropper extraordinaire known to fell women--in a very good way.
I know church going souls with nary a lustful thought who have dreams about this man. He hit the Nigerian music scene thanks to SYNDIK8 Records and his first single 'Change Your Parade' was an instant club banger, pumping through the speakers and melting women of all ages into puddles of charged hormones. His introduction of his signature word 'utunu' into the Nigerian lexicon (Does anyone know what the heck it means?) helped cement his position in the Nigerian music industry.
Gorgeousness aside, much of his music leaves me cold. His new single 'Ice Cream Factory' chronicles his romance at a girl he met at best ice-cream location in Lagos, and--dare I say it?--the country. He is smooth, delivers his line in a sexy, singsong cadence that is sure to drive the ladies wild. I'm sure it will be a hit as ladies love the man and has all the components for a hit, but its run-of-the-mill tune and blah lyrics leave me less than thrilled.
The video itself suffers from a truly terrible weave hairline (girl, you have got to LAY OFF the weave! It is hard but you'll be bald by the time you're 30 if you don't take your time) sported by the female vocal artist Mimi and some other guy called Enze who I can't quite identify in the song. Sorry. The director of the video, Tom Robson, went to very ordinary lengths to shoot an uninspiring video and it in no way tells any story we haven't seen before. They didn't even feature the actual ICF, even though they went to get permission to use the location. Creativity, people. We actually look forward to such in videos.
My rating 5/10
Check the video out for yourself and tell me what you think!

My World. Just. Ended.
I have certain... proclivities. Not a lot of Nigerians are into this sort of thing, though I know many would be if only they opened themselves up to the experience. It is somewhat foreign to us though. It can be dark, very sexy, and so innocent, all at the same time. Yup, you guessed it. I love foreign TV, movies & music. Korean to be precise.
In other, totally unrelated news--it really has no bearing on the previous paragraph whatsoever, because I for one would never, EVER, think of doing something that would harm big recording & film studios 'cos I'm a good girl, I am--
(PAUSE FOR A DEEP BREATH)
Megaupload, internet repository for illegal movies, TV series, games, books a ton of pornography and pretty much anything that can be stored on the internet (both legal and illegal), has been taken down by the FBI in America. Shoot me now.
PS
I forgot to mention that Swizz Beats--Alicia Keys baby daddy, philanderer and head of serial cheaters anonymous (not too sure about the last one)--is the CEO. Since the charges read like a mobsters rap sheet, it surprising to see that his name does not come up anywhere at all on the lists of arrests. It must be because he's a rich dude. He's the 1 black guy who got away. Or did he? In the meantime, enjoy...
A little Intro...
Hi,
So. It's taken me the whole day to track down my blogger password. Ods was yelling and I'm panicking because resetting my password will mean I would have to change it on four (yes, 4) different devices, not to mention all the other services that I signed up for. In other words, it would have been a serious(!) pain in the ass, a crap storm of epic proportions. I might have ended up looking like this:
(but a lot less sexy and a lot more insane) If I had not found it. But success! It is found and I can blog.
Ciao!
I'm Tolu BTW.

Where have I seen this before?
I wonder if my friends at LDA will agree?

Angelina vs Jennifer
No matter how unfair your life may be always count your lucky stars you are not Jennifer Aniston.
Seriously though, the insult is too much. Angelina is not by any means a normal mortal. Look at her glowing at the Golden globes. If I was Jennifer, I would find another planet to inhabit because for real IT IS TOO MUCH.
Anyone who knows me knows that Ms Aniston is on my list, in-between Beyonce (yes I know I am hating) and Penelope Cruz (simply because my boy fancies the pants off her).
The reason I hate her come from that coin toss thing they are always talking about. I used to love her in Friends obsessively. I bought the jewellery she was wearing and a famous pair of tartan trousers from Jane Norman, I loved that woman. I loved that show. Then she began to believe her own hype, the silly mare. Married Brad Pitt, arguably one of the hottest men on the planet, and pretended it 'aint no thing' grrrr.
"Have my babies" he said
"NNNOooo I wanna concentrate on my career"
We all know how well that went.
Meanwhile back at the ranch Angelina's star keeps on rising and she carting about the finest football team on the planet.
We salute you
Are we there yet?
Just like that. Press conference, Labour leaders say it all off. Petrol price brought down to 97 Naira per litre (which btw I suspect was going to happen anyway). Army hit the rds in force doing spot checks and dispersing any attempts to protest. CNN and BBC office raided by Nigerian secret service...no idea why they thought they could get away with that.
Schools not kicking off till Wednesday coz most people will be watching to see how tomorrow goes.

Occupy Nigeria 5
So I still did not have the liver to join the marching. Today we went foraging for an atm (you could have knocked me down with a feather when we hit the jackpot on our first go) and human contact.
Poolside at the Rad blu for something interesting to eat and a reason not to throw myself out of my ninth storey window.
So the rumours are flying fast and thick. Will they or wont they call off the strike by next week.
Thankfully I have discovered that Saturday and Sunday are going to be a protest free zone so I shall be making tracks to the shops. The boy ran out of shower gel a few days ago and has been bathing with a body scrub and Jo Malone bath oil concoction he created. Most importantly (God forgive me) I have just discovered that my salon is going to be open tomorrow so my butt is going to be in there having a mani pedi and hair treatment coz frankly I look hid at the moment.
Nothing has been resolved so nobody has further information on the situation.
What I know is that no resolution is going to mean even more strife for a people, who let’s face it, have learnt to smile under much adversity.

Occupy Nigeria day 4
Was supposed to post this yesterday but interner was kicking my ass
I am the most apolitical person one would ever find. On this though I think I have gots to agree with the people.
I don't think we are protesting about the subsidy in particular it's more like an ENOUGH already.
The average Nigerian is taxed to within an inch of his life in business and in the home. You have to be the provider of potable water, electricity (generator), security for your home. The mechanic is your best friend because your car spends so much time with him due to the deplorable state if the rds. I will not go on about the medical situation here nor can I hope to understand the full extent of the damage to my country the failed education system represents.
Upon all this "they" have come up with some trumped up reason for removing the fuel subsidy. Up until it was removed I have to admit I knew nothing about the whole thing (shame) but now I am tres upset about its removal, especially as I know for a fact that I am not going to see any improvement to my standard of living.
Basically it’s just taking the piss.
Now just to let you know how it has been for us on the ground.
It is very strange to be stuck at home all day every day. The roads are for the most parts empty. Traffic lights are off there is generally no noise coming from outside. Tres strange feeling basically.
My dad had a total go at me for not having enough provisions for the week. I am sure I was told the protest was just going to be for one day. So you can imagine my alarm on like Wednesday when we ran out of pancake syrup and soft drinks grrrrrr
I am one of the few who have not gone out to protest I must admit. Most of my friends, bless em, have been posting picture of themselves supporting the cause. Gotta admit I am tres impressed. I am afraid I probably have not had the liver because I still have not got enough trust in my fellow country man or the police. Unfortu too many tear gassed protestors on CNN have made an impression over the years.
So here I sit at home avec la familia, reading loads of rumours on my bb, watching the news in-between my addiction for Nickelodeons penguins of Madagascar and basically praying that my government is genuinely listening to the people.
We can't go on like this.
We are all exhausted.
It is time for change

Grrr the Kardashians
Mr Seacrest, I salute you. I don't know what the order of service is for others but this is how it's going down for us here in Lasgiddy.
We know Kim has separated from that funny looking chap she married. Seriously though he looks way too Neanderthal like for my liking, but love is blind or so I am told so...
Anyway we know it does not work out yet here we are watching the romance, with all the tell tale signs. I constantly find myself yelling "look behind you" coz seriously how did she not see he was a total fake.
Good old Khloe always the wise one and frankly my favourite of all the sister. Personally me thinks everyone should just listen to her.
I know what you are thinking, my whole country is on the verge of going down in a flaming ball of fire and I am busy waxing lyrical about the most irrelevant topic possible.
It’s all about the distraction men. Otherwise surely I would have to call it a day.

Happy New Year
I have no idea why I am writing this seeing as nobody really reads my blog but its New Year and for some reason I put this on my list.
I promised myself a few things, lemme list them for ya
1. Quit smoking
2. Get down to 9 1/2 stone (this involves going back to the gym and eating healthier)
3. Revive writing my blog
4. Register my company and behave like an adult and get back to work.
Some other boring tins I will not bore you with
I guess guilt got me whipping out my computer. The boy just came back with a calorie laden Indian takeout which I am struggling to digest as I write, I just came back from the balcony after a quick ciggie, so I figured, 3 days into my resolutions, I had better write something or I would have to consider myself a complete FAILURE.
Don't really have anything to say. I have been on my couch for the last 48 hours overwhelmed by the fact that somehow a whole year went by.
I have every intention of having many things to rant and rave about on this blog because at the very least I am going to be way more engaged in EVERYTHING.
