Hi guys
How is it going?
I am sitting at a cybercafe, listening to an album Banky insisted i must listen to, partly cos of CON.tra.diction. Who is CON.tra.diction? That is my music persona and i think quite a number of you know of her already, but not to worry, will tell you a little more about her soon!
The first time i saw OC UKEJE was on a stage where he was acting. I promptly asked him to marry me, and he promptly said no. I am persistent though. Ha. Ha. Ha.
It was therefore nice to see him win Amstel Malta Box Office 2. He is afterall, handsome, multi-faceted, and a great actor! But without that extra push, he might have stayed an underground genius.
It is why i like shows like AMBO, the ones that get it right and come at it from an original perspective.
I loved KACHI in the third instalment and was glad Seun Ajayi and himself made it to the top three. Bhaira McWizu, with one of the most expressive faces and deliveries in the industry won that instalment and i cannot wait to see what her movie will be!
(Remember, it was SITANDA for Aziza, the winner of the first instalment and WHITE WATERS for OC)
Wonder if they can shock me in one of these movies as Waka Pass?
No?
Okay!
Anyways!
The FOURTH instalment is here!
And it has a Royalty theme!
Registeration for auditions is now open so guys, let's begin supporting the movement!
Here's how it goes.
If you are a reality show junkie, then get ready for an exciting fourth instalment!
If you like to party and have a good time, then stay tuned,cos you just might win invites to eviction shows and parties
If you however, hate to always be the watcher and never the watchee (i don begin form words), then why don't you log on to http://www.amstelmaltaboxoffice.com/) and register?!
Think about it; those people who audition and participate don't have three heads, do they?
Registeration closes soon so the sooner the better!
And as for those of us who just want to watch and comment, then join the facebook group!
Please do not forget MAMA EKUNDAYO
I plan to go there second weekend in November, 8th and 9th November so, if you would like to come with me,or you just want to make a contribution, then hit me up for more info.
I have a dad, mum and sister. And if i had another sister, then it would be Osagie. So love you loads Osagie. Love you loooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaads!

Mama Ekundayo
It is not often i cry
Okay, thats not true, i do like to release pain, hurt, anger, fear, and sometimes, joy, through tears.
But today, as i sat in 'church' during the JUST US GIRLS event which featured Tara Durotoye, Funke Bucknor-Obruthe and aunty Adesuwa Oyenokwe, i cried a bit.
It was during TY Bello (nee Sokefun's) presentation.
You all know the album, and you must have heard the song featuring Olufunmi, the one titled, 'EKUNDAYO'?
Well, apparently, it is more than just a song. There is actually a story to the song, and it is one of the most touching stories ever.
So, Ekundayo is a tribute to a woman, a mother called Mama Ekundayo.
She is in Kogi State and she basically runs an orphanage where she takes care of all these children. There was the video, where TY got her to dress up and she had so much fun with the camera and in the studio, and then there was the documentary which was basically a Making The Video type thing, but with her story.
Mama Ekundayo is an old woman, she does not speak English, and she does not have the finest things in life. Yet she caters for children that seemingly, nooone else wants.
In the documentary, mama asked, 'How can i eat when my children have not eaten?'.
My heart wanted to break.
What are we doing?
We cry because the heel of our Jimmy Choos broke, and we scrimp and save to buy 7even for all Mankind jeans.
Abeg oh, material things are nice. Who no wan sit on comfy chairs and place their feet on plush rugs? Who wouldn't want a ride in fast cars?
But while we are striving to have the finest things in life, could we open our hearts, and also our purses?
There are orphans in Nigeria!
It is not a joke.
We laugh at Angelina Jolie for being 'Mama Adoption', but she is taking kids that are not her own, and taking care of them.
We are not all going to adopt although i urge you to consider it as an option. But please support orphanages. Please pray for people who are taking care of children that are not their own, and when you can, give them food, clothes and money.
As for me, right now, there is a fire burning and so we must work!
And what we will do is simple
- Raise funds for Mama Ekundayo and her children.
You know how we do now! Fundraiser time! We must do it!
And this should be a regular thing so please let me know if you ever want to raise funds for her.
Personally, i would like to raise some money and take it to her this year.
November to be exact!
Which brings us to the second thing we will do
- ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!
Road trip time!
We will take a flight (all na road trip) from Lagos to Kogi state, stay in a hotel, and then go to see Mama Ekundayo and her children and give her this money we have raised, plus food, clothes, entertainment, and anything else we can do!
This will be in November and it is a s.h.a.r.e Road Trip.
Come on people
Lets discover Nigeria, and hang out with other people while doing something good!
So remember, raising funds and visiting Mama Ekundayo in NOVEMBER
If you are down, say aye!
And lets go there!
Oh LORD, the fire burns, let us make this happen!
Love you all always
