YOU FIRST.

Work and its wahala continues but I have a different story for you today..

I have just come in contact with a childhood friend of mine.My childhood crush to be precise.I still remember that child-like laughter he had...He still has it.
But the thing is he doesn't remember me.How could he not remember me?

I was different.

When the other girls in class would carry pink "barbie" bags to school,I would carry my "freakazoid" bag because I loved it so.

When they would come to school with their fancy lunch boxs containing ice cream that would melt away by noon and indomie that would become cold and sticky by "break time",I would simply ask my sweet mother to pour my Mirinda or Goldspot or Krush into my water bottle and give me crackers biscuit because I knew I would throw up if I eat that cold indomie and I wasn't about to sacrifice my mother's hardwork or compromise who I was or my happiness and satisfaction just to be in the "indomie league".

I remember how the teacher would call me to her desk which was almost in front of the class to scold me for doing bad in the maths test and ask me why I can't apply the same good scores I have in English language to Mathematics..and I would stand there staring at the ground and revealing the ends of my "police cap" hairstyle.I didnt like mathematics...and I still don't know why it was hard for her to understand that.

I also remember how my class teacher would come in front of the noisy class and say;

"Silent!" And everywhere would be silent. "Am going for teachers' meeting.I don't want to come back and hear that my class was noisy". Using her right hand to pull her right ear. "Do you hear me?". Thinking that her words weren't sinking well into our heads,she would finish her short speech with "Infact,Ada,get me the names of noise makers.if you don't,I will flog you.

Now Ada the wanna be 'indomie girl' is forced to come up with a name or names.I always made her job easy.That moment when the teacher is absent is the only time I have to talk to my friends who were as different as I was.That list Ada was making never stopped me.

Daddy freeze of 96.9 Coolfm Lagos always said on air that he was a talkative and he always got flogged for it.Today,his talking too much has put him in a position that millions of people would wanna be in.

If you know what you do and if that thing makes you happy then go ahead.Don't change because someone doesn't like it.Don't compromise your happiness for anything because like I always say --In the end,its your life.Your happiness matter more than you think because it keeps you going.

Enjoy the rest of your day...ciao
