Na'gaji

I haven't bothered to update this blog in quite some time. I've been using the other and my trusty spiral notebook to keep track of goings-on.

January was a busy month, with a big 2-day meeting taking place Jan. 24-25. Everyone was running around like a chicken with its head cut off, including yours truly (coo-coo-ka-cha!). Subsequently, everyone suffered from some form or other of burn-out. I've been feeling somewhat ill for over a week now. Should probably visit a doctor at some point.

Speaking of coming down with something, many people are suffering from a bad case of Nation's Cup fever. Nigeria's team, the Super Eagles, have moved forward and are on the way to the semi-finals. One of my close friends was pining over a Super Eagles' jersey the other day, but it was too costly. When it was suggested by a stranger that the oyinbo (meaning me) could buy it for him, I haughtily protested "I no ajebota" (pidgin English term meaning "one used to butter", that is, "a rich spoiled kid"). Everyone laughed. My friend's eyes nearly popped out of his head, "where did you learn that word?" I smiled and said "oh, I have my ways". That online Pidgin English dictionary really does come in handy some times :)

Anyhow, that's about all I've got to say for now. I'm tired. Until next time ....
