Once Upon a time...
"This bloody trip BETTER be worth it"....That was the thought going through my head as i struggled with my bags while going up the stairs of O'Jeez. Lord knows i had to answer 1 million questions from my Dad about this trip. I was sooo happy to be away for the weekend but wasnt sure if the trip would be worth it, little did i know......It was going to be more than worth it.
Lets start with how i met each unruly.....
The Unruliest one- We go waaaay back, as in over 10 years ago.....we met in sunday school, became friends and he started toasting me lol! He toasted me till i left the country and toasted when i came back......I guess all the toasting paid off lol!
Miss Delta- We met on a very popular naija website. some years back...we never really talked....she was quite popular on the site and used to put up a lot of pictures.....i thought she was vain or was really in love with her image.......fast forward to 2005/6 and i saw her on tv.....i gave her a call, invited her to an event i was hosting/co-ordinating.....we became friendlier....until we met again on the way to Ada. She's the one i would go to reminisce about school days....sorority stuff
Miss Singer/song writer/writer/- I always thought her locs were quite interesting looking. She knew lots of people...we knew OF each other but didnt KNOW each other that (really wasnt bovvered!) lol! Till the unruliest started to work with her, i got to know her a bit better......till we met again in Ada.....she totally opened up.....i never thought this one could even stomach a shot....she surprised me sha....and her love for Mo Hits......Out of this world...She's the one i would go to for professional advice...
Miss Prim & proper- Complete with the accent and all. She always accompanied Ms Delta to my events....Thought she was cool......quite serious.....so i didnt open my mouth to yarn anyhow with her cos i didnt know her that well...........till we met again on the way to ADA.....found that she was able to let loose.....cracked jokes.....and was ready to dance all night to any Mo Hits Song..She's the one i would most likely get into trouble or mischief with.
Dear Dolly- I came across this character at the nominees party, He was sitting next to me....or somewhere near me sha.......His Friend (Mr Lucky Housemate) was sitting near me as well and they kept gossiping in Ibo. It was quite amusing though.....didnt really get to know him until we boarded that bus.....he was totally uninhibited....cracked jokes,sang, danced, slept and even took horrible pictures of me sleeping! He kept saying "Dear Dolly....." I didnt get it at first..but when i did, i couldnt stop saying it, This lil fella is a sharp dresser, loves attention and really isnt bovvered if u dont like or understand him. He's the one i would most likely call to accompany me to an event...he's fun.
Mr Lucky housemate- really didnt meet him until the nominees party either......He called me by name and asked me a couple of questions.....i was pleasantly surprised cos i was like yay! he knows my name and we havent even been introduced yay! Im popular...lol! Silly i know...
He was quite jovial, laughed a lot and always had this air of "Im responsible" around him....you know....the kind of air prefects had in secondary school....I knew he was smart too cos i used to read his column all the time......I ran into him at the awards ceremony and we kept making faces and "claiming" the award.....(we were nominated in the same category).....I won ha ha!......This dude shocked me by loosening up and dancing with reckless abandon on the bus............when we got to ADA.....things started to get really interesting especially at the truth or dare table. He's the one whose column i dont miss....though i rarely talk to him about his columns
Uncle- Now the funny thing is i didnt even know who he was when i sat next to him in the bus. I just started to ask him questions and he would graciously answer....he was so mature....i was just happy to have someone who would listen to all my chit chat .....im sure the guy was tired of me talking at some point but he didnt show it and i didnt care.....i was really in the talking mood that day.....later at ADA....he opened up after the first bottle of Remy or was it Henessey(?) arrived......one minute he's prim, proper, intelligent....the next minute....he'll flip on you and yell "Areaaaaaaa". Uncle is the one i think i could turn to for advice..He's the wise one
I believe these people came into my life for a reason ....they are really supportive and im really grateful for that. I know we will be in each others lives for years and years to come....

Beaurriful Ada!
Beaurriful Ada brought eight peeps together who probably missed their high school days and decided to enact it in the remote location of Ada. maybe it was the 96 hour bus ride, or the 2am village runthroughs, or the fact that the P was just too mush, 8 capable, beautiful, hardworking, loving, talented, funny, intelligent, creative peeps formed a bond.
In order of appearance:
It was the last day of camp or something like that i can't really remember. My camp peeps were all heading to "the island" which really was my first indication that if you live on the mainland you're on a "long tin". anyhoo, so my friend was like a friend of hers lives in ikeja maybe she can give me a ride. So I walk and Aunty was standing there like she was pissed as F and just generally ready to get the hell out, and who the hell was this walking towards her anyway? So I just knew we'd get along lol! and we have, from fushures, to barcelos dinners to....
Sweet Gal. I was with Aunty and she was like there's this Media Chick thingie and i don't really want to go by myself wanna come? so me being the ants in her pants type was like sure! even though i'm nowhere near media chick-ish lol. So we get there and everyone was just chatting and laughing and having a good time. Sweet Gal kinda took it upon herself to be the coordinator and was just too super nice to everyone. Even though i wasn't part of the celebrity clique, Sweet Gal sent me a text for the next meeting making me feel special (lol...) and we just started talking from there. And then together with Aunty started coordinating meeting times for events like the fushures.....
Jolly Giant came in late into the Rubbing Minds room. I hadn't watched his stardomness bloom so I had absolutely no impressions lol. Everyone in the room were strangers! except for Aunty (who is featuring a lot isn't she?). He came in with a group of peeps (one of whom was later christened "The Jerk" by me ...) and was cool, and said some surprisingly intelligent things...i guess can't really remember but i'm sure he didn't sound stupid sha...later when mingling Aunty was like he's kinda cute, and tall, and smells nice...LOL (Aunty don't kill me o!) and i was like yeah. and the rest is history (after them both playing stush and omoboy/girl)! And then Ada came about and Jolly Giant turned out to be nice and unassuming, which is a good thing for his stardomness.
I'm sure I met Energizer at some fushures function. What a burst of energy was my first impression!!! So cool. She can't come into a room and not go through it (on most days). Wild, eccentric, unapologetic, bubble of fun.....yay!!!! We never really talked though, just hi and bye. Then Ada and she was late and I think she defended a certain annoying media guy but then she kinda ditched them and joined the unruly side officially! And then we shared some girl talk in Ada and all was well! She's one unruly I truly miss when she's not around!
Dennis (as in Menace)....there's no word to describe oh! Only Dennis would sit down on the carpet, take off his shoes, and unbutton his shirt, all in the lobby of a posh golf resort! Dennis also wanted to turn the SMVAs into the SOURCE Awards, a la no violence! I liked when Dennis came along to an event cuz it just turned out the stuffiness element. In fact, I think he's a big unruly part of the Unrulies. Now what are the chances Dennis will actually read this blog?!?!?! not very high, not very high at all....lol! He's out being Dennis the Sura.
who next? uhm ok. Nominee parry for fushures at WAKA Bar, this is where our paths crossed Becks (as in Beckham, as in every woman's desire....gerrit? i'm so witty!). Although I had gotten a facebook add and the person saying he was a fellow Nominee and all that which i thought was really nice but I don't think I added him cuz i don't know him! Come to think of it now, he prolly just wanted to size everyone up to wonder how in the world the fushures team could EVEN nominate other peeps with him. I mean, really.......And then at the event proper I said hello and then asked Sweet Gal to tell him to move his head cuz he was blocking the KOKO and i couldn't take a pic(my my how far we've come...anyway). And then my house parry when he took me to a certain place and of course, after that he was my DAWG! lol.....ok, but really Becks is such a wonderful friend outside all the......"unruliness", loyal, dependable, helpful, etc. We all want to be like Becks when we grow up.
Last but not least we have Kiwi!!!!!!!!!! Kiwi apparently had been to many of the same events as I but I never saw him....maybe he blended into the night! And then we sat down at that table in O'Jez and really..............we got to know more about him then we woulda liked didn't we? lol.....he and Becks successfully traumatized me and convinced me of two things: 1) thank GOD i didn't go to boarding house and 2)my child will never go to University in naij. But i got an impression that evening. I loved the openness and his un-apologetic manner. "only the weak always feel they have to prove themselves" and Kiwi certainly wasn't weak. And then I told him he had a beautiful color (which was just me lying to make him feel berra cuz really, how many people woulda told him that before? lol) and he blushed. Cut to a few Hennessys lerra and i'm thinking "Kiwi is smart o!"
Whew! and me? i'm just chill. :o)!
