All you missed! Good luck to whoever reads this to the end..


Phewww! Our blog has become so dusty. it's been long since anyone visited. I'm sorry for my long and overdue absence. I wasn't totally absent anyway. I still function full time at www.360nobs.com. So while we're taking off all the dust and cobwebs, lets play catch up. I stopped writing here in march. At that time, I had returned from Ghana and gone right back to the hustle and bustle of living in Lagos and making it work. I went back to school, got a whack job(I didn't even know my Job description). So I was on Facebook one boring day and someone sent me a message saying he read my blog and he liked it(what was there to like?)
At first, I thought it was just another way of getting a girl to talk but then I remembered all girls aren't bloggers but you know guys of these days, they always have their ways. He went ahead to say his client needed a blogger, he dropped his contact and vanished.This was happening at the same time I wanted to leave the whack job.
At first I was scared to call but I made the call telling myself that his Jazz won’t work for me since I was calling from a strong nokia phone. We arranged a meeting, I met my bosses and I got the job. I guess it was at this point in my life that I realized that all my prayers to God for his grace hadn't gone up in vain. Not like it ever goes in vain but sometimes when you pray and nothing happens, you begin to feel like God has turned his back on you. Moving on.


Being a 360nobs minion hasn't been easy at all. I've learnt quite a lot of things. At a point, I wanted to just quit. You know, pick myself up, go home and just sit doing nothing. I consoled myself with saying that my brain needed to rest until my good friend told me “Sylvia, if you say your brain needs to rest, Dangote’s brain needs what then?” I hate being speechless. I remember telling my boss that I wanted to stop work and he said “sylvia, you have potential and no, I won’t find a replacement for you.” And then I’d go back and sit before my laptop staring at the 360nobs dashboard where everything that went on the site was cooked. I called Choox too and he said “ then what? After you quit the job, what next?”. Again, I hate being speechless. 
Sometimes, I’d go to the cinema and end up not seeing the movie I came for because I was looking at the screen but my mind wasn't. My mind was stuck in the future and in the things I needed to achieve within the short time I had given myself. It’s November now and I’m still pushing and I won’t stop today or even tomorrow.

In the midst of all that, I made a new family; Connection By Friendite. CBF for short. It was started by the friendite CEO and now it’s grown into something bigger and better. There's been fights, laughter, criticisms, insults, advises, photos etc. And we all still get along.


Not forgetting the “Guy” in my life. I have met guys and Guys. Its been zigzag-ish with them hence my “sisters over bros” decision. You meet a guy and he’s not even sure if he’s your man OR you meet a guy and he’s scared to commit to you or to a better relationship OR he’s still dragging past hurt from his previous relationship OR you meet a guy at 5:30pm and at 5:32pm, he wants you to be his woman because you’re the best thing that ever happened to him. Dude! Move! I'm not an ice-cream cone. I can't even decide in two minutes if I love something let along some


About my first love, I still sew.Very much. Can't stop. I made these two among others.

I still have one under construction. I'll show you when I'm done.
Hmmm…so I think that’s all in summary. I hope it didn't leave anything out? if I did, tell me. Gist me about yours. I’ll be waiting. Thanks for coming to this space after such a long time. Ife, Reginald, SINCLAIR, Joy, Tope, Kane, Choox, Stunner, Vivian, DonMay, CBF, etc..I'll be waiting to read from you. 

Here’s a little something for the first person to read to the end. 2321 3496 4109 That's MTN and Don’t forget to drop a comment saying you got the airtime. Bye!

    I dedicated by time to a few projects and saw it completed fully completed for the first time.
    i came to Lagos without telling anyone, but a couple of friends knew, then switched off my BBM, Whatsapp, Left Facebook and Email open,I just wanted to do something that i really wanted and i felt friends would distract me,but it wasnt exactly so, cos i felt so damn alone,and i felt a lil crazy tho,
    I have been following a politician and business men like Zinox Group Chairman and been doing Boy-Boy for them, You gats serve to get a seat with kings, so i just stepped out to fix alot of things about myself including money management and alot of other things,so thats whats been up with me lately, just tryna fix myself up.....properly

    1. Good-morning dear. I'm glad to hear from you. It's been ages. i called your friend to make sure you weren't dead. it's good to know you're making progress with things. yea, i saw in a book that you have to serve the kings to be able to sit with them someday. So gather as much knowledge as you can to prepare you for 'king-ship'. How's the fixing going? Next time you're about to go MIA, consider some people. take care.

  5. Wheww... Finally i arrive... sorry dear our keke broke down while enroute. Lol.
    Soo... I think this is a very transparent n open-minded summary (yet detailed) of what happens in the life of every ambitious, industrious n innovative person. Challenges n unforeseen circumstances re bound to always crawl up on u though the whole thing must have seemed so flawless and expressly workable while u were planning. But that's life...
    You may not be exactly where u wanna be in life yet buh when u look back, u'll discover you re a long way from whence u started; never relent.

    Life is a journey... "Remain ye on the path of righteousness" safe travel guys... ciao
