I'm not sure what title

Ok, connections between eggs and men?

Hmm,
-They all start their lives as eggs [So do women but that's not the point here].
-They get spiced up as they grow through life experiences[Pepper, Curry, thyme, Vinegar, Nutmeg]
-Scrambled, Omelette, Hard boiled, Soft boiled, Sunny side up, Moon side down...depending on which one you have a taste for, they are all good.

So @ today's ranting: Fried eggs for me are not...oh shoot! It just felt good to put up that post girl. Plus Julia Roberts didn't help matters in Run Away Bride when she couldn't tell what kind of egg she liked the most.

Bottom line: Just like no egg type is bad, so no man's bad, well almost no man's bad...

God loves us all. Grin. And he made the eggs and gave woman the wisdom to either fry em, boil em, scramble em...ok now, I am ranting...Forgive me if it looks like i ain't making sense.

You guys, I think I got that job oh! I've been called for the final stage. I think it is an interview with the MD himself. But problem is, now I feel bad about leaving my office. They're a real pain most times but I must confess I've grown to love em...Anyway, I guess when I leave, they'd always find somebody to replace me; so there's no need feeling all puffed up thinking I am irreplaceable or something because the world always moves on.

What's this i hear about code of conduct in Lagos?

-If you beg for alms on the streets you're thrown into prison for a month
-If you encourage begging for alms you're locked up for a month
-If you expose any would or disformity for alms sake you're in jail for 3 months
-If you throw dirt on the street you're fined a 1000 naira
-If you don't have a dustbin in your car you're fined a 1000 naira

They forgot to add
"If you urinate here you're fined..."

Do you guys think it would work?
I'd be over at your blogs before you can say today's ranting...


I thought Yaradua was set to declare a state of emergency on our energy sector! How long does he need to set. PHCN is driving us all nuts.
Takia folks!!!!

I hope you get the job, sista.

I think this Lagos clean up is a very good idea and I hope it works for everyone's sake.

The Activist said...

Mi-love, PHCN is not only driving me crazy, it has changed my theory about living and dying in Naija

What is with you with this “egg theory”? (lol)

Congrats on your new job. I believe you have got it.

This Lagos conduct is too much wahala, it’s not realistic even though I am in support of drastic measures. But this one, is too baaaaaaaaaaaaadddddddddddddd

hallo ejura blogville idol 08 is back!check our blog for more details!tanx

ejura said...

@ 30+: Thanx! I hope this initiative would work. I really do. They could also bring it up north too what with the almajeris we have here.

@ musco: Don't mind me and the eggs. Was in an egg mood the day i posted it.
The final interview wasn't particularly fun but I hope i clinch the job. Reduce the population in Lagos? How do you reckon they go about that? Send some people back home, place immigration rules or send a hurricane or what? I have no idea.

@lg: I never resume work oh but i hope i do soon.I really pray.
As for Lag, na to wait see oh!

@naijalines:Yeah, I hope I get the job too. The Lag thing is a wonderful idea but I'm also thinking that it isn't just about creating codes but by changing people's mindset. I wonder how they can go about that...

@standtall: "it has changed my theory about living and dying in Naija"
LOL! I so agree with you on this. I totally agree.
Thanks about the new job but my fingas are still crossed.You're also sceptical about the Lag thing abi? Well, so am i but let's hope for the best.

@blogville idol: Pinkpeke productions at it again. Yummy.I look forward to it. Well done!

The Activist said...

Aijay said...

Congrats babes, all the best at the interview. I'm sure u'll be fine!

Lol @ getting a fine for not having a dustbin in ur car.
The code of conduct thing doesn't sound very practical to me.
Oh well, too early in the day to judge.

Chris Ogunlowo said...

All the best with the new job.

I'm sure we'll soon have a blogoparty in honour of the new job. Something tells me the Moolah is 3times better than your former job ;)

ejura said...

I've been trying to reply this comments for decades now. The server is xtrimly slow today.

@ standtall: Yep, we can only hope for the best cos Lag needs it badly.

@ afrobabe: Afro, you in Lag? Why didn't you say something? I'd be on the next flight to be with you before you can spell my first name! How can I ever think of abandoning you? How? Why? No vex ehn, biko...

@ wellsbaba: Thanx oh! The interview turned out wan kain sha. That Lag thing must work oh! Wetin you mean ehn? you want to be taking one way? 250,000 na small tin now especially for someone like you. Check out yr name now:
wells- when something is well; a well full of gold
Baba: The chief himself. Oga of wellness!

Rebirth said...

Flourishing Florida said...

congrats on d job n advance. u've got it n Jesus name! Amee o, amee o, amee o! it's well babe.

dat code of conduct doesn't seem pretty workable 2 me o. i mean, lagos is like d head-quarters of beggers. no cell na contain dem all.

as 4 moi, i hardly give 2 beggers. 4 most of dem, i just don't understand y they'd rather beg dan find some kind of trade or skill. but plenty pple i know give alms. they say they get blessings 4rm doing so. jolly 2 dem.

LG said...

Andrew F. Alalade said...

Heeeeey, Good stuff! Some more money is coming Ejura's way. So what do you do to ur egg? Do you boil, fry or swallow it raw?

naijaleta said...

Yay! At last, you put a comment on my blog! I was hoping you'd stop by one of these days. I love your analogies. By the way, let me know what picture of me you have in your head. I hope I'm as good looking in your head as you are in that picture of you on your blog.

@naijaleta: Thanks for the compliment. Back to you, what you look like.
Hmmm, let's see: You have the height of a fulani man, slim too. Your skin is as light as that of an igbo man-well toned. You have a lovely pointed nose and hair very curly. On your cheeks are the marks of an ijebu man-still they add to your Nigerian beauty creating curiosity in anyone who sees you...

So did i come close?lol!
