♪ Omo see gobe, e wa ba mi ri gobe ♬ …that’s the sound coming off Bassment Africa on Channel O… ♫ her majesty the queen is in the booth, come to the dance floor, ♬…all my ladies nseghe, lekale, kukere, ♫
No, it’s not Davido ft DJ Zinhle & Iyanya silly, you must not have heard DJ Xclusive on one of his mixes, eish, in the time it took me to type this line, he’s slotted 20 other songs in.
So I’m on the couch, in between procrastinating for the umpteenth time and tryna complete this doc I’m long overdue to submit but I’m a card-carrying member of #LastMinuteDotCom, I see this tweet soliciting #the3six5-ers for posts and I give in.
I would normally be glued to my #BigBrotherAfrica channels, but this evening’s sobfest made me tune away from my staple for all of the 90days of the show, #NoApologies. Y’all don’t want me to regale you with details of the stories by Tanzanian Nando, Sierra Leonean Bassey and Nigerian Beverly in a bid to outdo one another to win the $300k moola via pity votes, the more bizarre the better. See I can safely write this cos I don’t know Bev, she don’t know me either, else any minute from now, my gist complete with my name could make continental TV. IT. IS. BAD!!! Her family and friends are holding their breaths cos no one knows who she gon cast next. *I’m sleep*
My alarm shrieks, indicating that PHCN has graced my abode with power supply for which I gladly hurl my #fatfam self to go turn off the over-worked, but still trudging on, generator.

I can teach you the delicate art of switching over from Gen to NEPA without breaking power supply for a lil fee. DSTV takes forever to scan and reconnect you see, I don’t wanna miss any part of this song.

Back to the couch…this doc won’t write itself even tho it should, it’s 2013 damnit.
