Bloggers Party + Aftermath = Arrival in Johannesburg

How una dey my people? I hope say una don jolly jolly well well for this festive season wey just pass? I want to start writting abit in "pigdin english" this year, but i just thought that some people might not understand the meaning of certain words, especially the non-nigerians and all those "oyibo-turned-nigerians".

Anyway, I wrote this piece on the flight from Lagos to Jhb, cos I was more than bored, and when I slept, I woke up almost immediately. I never thought I would board a Virgin Nigeria aircraft again, but then my decision of reviewing the airline to use next stil stands, I had to jump on this one cos it was a return ticket, so I'll still have to re-think wether to fy with them again. In a later post I'll explain with every details what went wrong between my humble self and the so called Virgin abi "Prostitute" Nigeria Airways. (i.e concerning my stolen and damaged luggages).

....Yes the bloggers party, I went .....well I also can be considered absent at same time, because I fall in both directions, because I did go, but the event "get-together" has ended and almost everyone was gone before my arrival. I only met about 5 - 6 bloggers, and thanks to both Tayo (d organizer) and the Lekki-V/Island terrible traffic. The event was suppose to kick off at 4:00pm and I gave Tayo a shout at 5:30pm........bad news, nobody has turned up......okay since I live on the Island as well, I decided to chill abit and then start leaving....I left the house at 6:00pm.......on a normal day, I should be in V/I at about 6:25 - 6:30, but guess what? I was at the venue (Number 10) few minutes after 8:00pm and I saw few bloggers outside leaving, only got to exchange greetings with them and with about 3 of them inside, I bounced into the venue....(i must say the venue is fantastic).......Oh! i'm forgetting something here...remember I mentioned previously that I might not go cos of car/transport issue.....well I asked my big brs for his ride ...which i should call his baby, and guess what?....he responded "you can take it, but dont stay out too late oohh!"...........It was like a miracle, because all the time i've been in that car, i've always been a passenger....so atleast I got to ride on it.

So where was I? I got into the venue....mehnnnnn!!!!! Okocha has taste...yes JJ. Okocha....he owns the Bar. Unique, but I must say expensive, but for that kind of luxury in Lagos, It should be expensive. I ended up having a few drinks there, and drove around V/I...and then back home.

.....Our plane got to Johannesburg,....the next thing, the Pilot says the visibility at the airport wasn't that clear and we wouls remain on air for about 30mins to an hour.....now its 45mins..gone.....another 30....and now he says he's gonna try and yes I was praying....I haven't seen my ******........and was even one of the reasons, I jumped on the plane so early back to SA......3 weeks apart...GRrrRrrrrrr!!!!!!...The longest APART!....Anyway we anded safely...and that was it....got home......dropped my luggages...Jumped into my car....Off to her house....IT WAS AN AWESOME MOMENT.....what a RE-UNION.

Now, its been 3 days I got back to SA...and so many dramas...more than I ever witnessed in my Life....I will give you a load-down next post....tho have to discuss the issue with ehr, before putting it up on the internet..... I am very grateful for God's blessings, Grace and Love upon my life for the whole of 2007 and this Splendid 2008 will be Wonderfula dn fantastic for me and all of you!........did I hear you say AMEN?......yes thats the spirit....For all is possible for only whom that Believeth...it is written.

My people...I go leave una for now....Did I mention that I, Ugo and Mr.Fineboy was featured on MADE Magazine, December 2007 issue? I turned instant celebrity.....LOL

+peace out+
