That is how it was. I was jejely at my desk doing what I was employed to do
Now the shock wasnt like Japan or anything but me i thought it was the pre-shock to a major earthquake so my thought was get out fast so that building wont fall on me. Some thought it was a bomb and for where I work, that is a very feasible assumption. Anyway, we got out fine and we heard it was aftershock. I was already reminding God that He said that He can't lie to me so this is not how I am going to die. Well my God came through for me biko. Infact my co worker said when next there is a natural disaster he will follow me because the way I was clearing people from my way, o di kwa too impressive.
Now I don't know where we have hurricane and earthquake in the same week but here we are o. We haven't been told to evacuate (DC chilling *woop woop*) and the weather looks all peaches and cream this morning so I have faith it doesn't hit us too bad. God already answered my prayers of reducing the intensity so no shaking. to those who have to evacuate, please stay safe....THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO DO ODEISHI NWA NNEM.....poison no dey kill black man, hurrican irene does.
UN Bombing
I was so pissed off by the bombing yesterday of the UN building. when did this rubbish start in 9ja biko. I haven't checked who claimed the bombing but I suspect boko haram with their al qaeda connects cos i doubt boko is that sophisticated. Dis is wat we get when we deal with these ppl with kids gloves. well this got international attention so I guess this will put pressure on GEJ to act. Military should be fully deployed to these zones. or better still let MEND handle boko haram pls. A rogue will know a rogue. my prayers to the friends and families of those who lost their lives or got injured.
Mercy and Lovely
Lovely and Mercy J baby. Lovely, you kinda took your time to come out with your story o. their relationship was never really a secret to the public yet you waited till one month to their wedding to prove your case. to me that doesn't look like you are serious about the marriage. As for Mercy, if stuff hits the fan, you can't say you weren't warned. Happy Married or Marriage life (i forget how they say it) Mercy.
Real Housewives of New Jersey and back talking kids + basketball wives LA
So if you watch RHWNJ, you know Ashley. The over grown baby. I don't know where you get off talking to your parents like that. School you no wan go. Work you no wan work. And she cant even realistically use the single mum or broken family excuse or rationale here because all four parents have tried their best for her. I think she should spend a week in 9ja with my aunt. Even russian dolls (the new russian hrybrid between jersey shore and real housewives of NJ), the mum asks her a simple question and she calls her a B*tch. Well lets just say I will be whipping my kids to order. 9 Months aint no joke.
So you remember the chick in basketball wives miami whose sister supposedly slept with Shaq and made Shaunie divorce him. How she was all playing Mrs over secure home and she doesn't play all these petty games. well from the preview, she looks like she is the Evelyn of LA so I will def be watching...tune in monday at 8 or 9 or 10pm on VH1
Arsenal

And all the red cards dey have been given us this season. so far, a red in ever game.......we dey watch u o awon referees association, we can like to start anoda riot o.
And Madam Patience Dame GEJ has been MIA for a while so in dedication to her.........Jonathan, Jonathan, Jonathan ka ge so, o ne me me o na ma ma, Jonathan ka ge so......I am too lazy to find the video but use your mind imagine am. See you on your blogs and have a lovely weekend!
Wish you and the entire America the best as Hurricane Irene passes through. See you on the other side of the hurricane..
ReplyDeleteWow! Olori, pls stay safe oo!!
ReplyDeleteOn the UN bombing and Mercy, thou art so on point! Boko Haram claimed the bombing. I do hope GEJ decisively deals with this sect that might be Naija's undoing! I wish Mercy a happy married [take note Olori, its married..LOL] life. She wont ever claim she didnt get fair warning!
As for Arsenal, no comments. Take care of you for us, u hear? Mmwah!

About Mercy J, i think the wife took too much time joh. Hmmm there is def still more drama to come!
The UN bombing, *smh* no comment!
Nature doesn't want to give us a break. LOL at your reaction. Naija woman...lol.
ReplyDeleteI am tired of this terrorism in Naija. I hope the government will take tackle the problem now and nip it in the bud before we turn into the new Middle East.
Abt RHW of NJ, Ashley's behavior was one reason why I stopped watching the show.
I was just cracking up so much, your name for the earthquake, and the reaction too, lol...Glad you're safe from the Irene, too much wahala.
ReplyDeleteAs for the bombing in naija, only God will help us. Boko Haram has claimed the attack.
I have a post on Mercy/Lovely saga, no be small tori.
Now you mention Patience, it's true o, she's been silent for a while. Maybe she's taking finishing school courses to polish her up. hehehe...
lol @ your reaction to the earthquake. Anyway thank God it wasn't worse than that.
ReplyDeleteAs for the bombing, if nothing is done about this then they're going to take us for a ride in that country.

May God save me from not entering jail for abuse if i remain in this country and raise my kids. Mbanu.

Good day,
ReplyDeleteI'm studying a master in Digital Media at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and I'm writing you to ask for your permission to use the entry titled "Earthquake Okafor and Hurricane Irene plus other things", published on August 27, 2011 on the blog Olori's Place (http://olori-beautiful.blogspot.com/2011/08/earthquake-okafor-and-hurricane-irene.html).
My graduation project is an interactive map of stories about hurricane Irene. It's intended to motivate people at risk of disasters (such as hurricanes) to start thinking what to do about them now, instead of waiting until they are about to happen, which most people do. The project will show a map with the trajectory of hurricane Irene, and different search criteria to access stories within the map. Those stories can be annotated with comments from other users different than the author's story, in a similar way a blog entry can be commented. In my system though, the intent is to purposefully direct the discussed topic on how to handle disasters taking each story as a starting point.
One of my graduation requirements is to demo my project to my committee. For that purpose, I've built a database of blog-posts to fill in the system. I'd like to add your story to that database. I can provide an image of the interface if you want to have a better idea of what your story would look like if included in the system.
If you grant me permission, your entry will be used exclusively for non-commercial and educational purposes while the project remains in its demo phase. If this project is ever used for other purposes different than a demo, your blog-entry will not be included.
I'd really appreciate if you allowed me to use your experience from Hurricane Irene to make a better project, and potentially help other people in the future.
Thanks,

ReplyDeleteEarthquake is a natural occurrence while weather disturbance are caused by planet's temperature imbalance, which of course man-made such as deforestation.
