The Nigerian Immigrant

I am fuming with rage, anger, resentment, malice...(is there any other word to describe the fire that is threatening to erupt my very being?) I had a pretty rough day today, although this is not the reason i am this provoked. Well why should i? Why would anyone be angry if their youngest brother spends $100 from their credit card despite giving them the permission to spend $23! This matter was solved of course, however, this current state of mind is directed at Australia's retail giant Big W. Technological advancement is at its peak as we all know. In fact, it has gotten so good that I'm toying with the idea of buying me a sexy robot man if ever i become available :). Since Technology has become this unstoppable force, why is it that each time you leave a store, they ask to search your bag. This is the most humiliating aspect of shopping i must confess. I have the most horrible hand bag to look in you see, however, i just love the feeling of walking straight up to security and ...

You know what i find the most amazing about life? Well the fact we don't understand the importance of the things around us. The things we are able to do we simply do not acknowledge. The fact we are able to eat and swallow, that we can laugh, cry, use the loo, sing, love and tell someone we love them is so much looked down upon and disregarded. If only we'd realize there are people out there that'll give just about anything to have the opportunity we have, then maybe...just maybe we'll count our blessings. Today's documentary on obesity had a 600 pound morbidly obese man say he would give anything just to be able to walk down the streets again. Thinking about it, i just walked in from the shops and didn't give it a second thought...why should i? It's just something i should be able to do! (note: heavy sarcasm) Haiti has lost 100,000 people and counting from the earthquake that rocked the city of Port-au-Prince, Haiti's capital city. Imagine that numb...

I would always says that even if you lie about your deepest and truest feelings to everybody else around and pretend you don't give a rat's ass about the things that unfold around you, the one person you can never lie to, the person it'll be a crime to lie to, the one person you should never lie to is none other than yourself. One driving force in my life has always been the desire to be famous, be a household name you know, be rich and wealthy and influential just like Oprah. A very wise man once said "there is no smoke without fire", this desire to be rich, famous, blah blah blah was unleashed by the death of my father. I thought to myself "when i die i want the whole world to mourn my death". I didn't want to die like my father who had a quiet ceremony while the rest of the world went around their business oblivious to the passing of not just my father but the passing of a great man. Being ambitious isn't bad, we always hear about stars u...

On Christmas Day Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab a 23-year-old Nigerian attempted to blow up a US passenger plane by setting off a high explosive called PETN sewn into his underwear. A few people have called and messaged me regarding what i think about this very unfortunate incidence, except for a very special someone who would rather not hear me vent my anger (i seem to have so much of that recently...thanks to you Umar), he tries to shut me up each time i bring up this topic...not cool Cooley:). I decided what better way to start 2010 than shedding some more light on this very matter. Before i start writing about this topic i have to start by saying that i am deeply ashamed of his actions. He is a disgrace to Nigeria, he is a disgrace to Africa as a whole and he is a disgrace to the human race. The only time i get to read news online is at work for some reason. When I'm home I'd rather be on Facebook than log on to any news sites. To my credit i don't miss the news on tel...
