The whole world along with all the troubles seem to just not exist for those few minutes.<br />
<br />
WHOA!!!!!!<br />

The sensual, mellowness of the beats combined with the beautiful words ................<br />

I believe Aphrodisiac was Brandy's all time best album and the song FOCUS just gave me a new level of respect for her.<br />
<br />
Enjoy guys and am trying to get back in the blogging zone.<br />

<br />
So when I decided to go natural I honestly didn't envision any major issues (very naive I know!!!!) but I almost caved in this past week, so this is what happened................<br />
<br />
First it started when I decided to wash my hair, my hair has grown about 1 inch since I last checked, see pic below:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs9rWvPLD1KYJU_fPxevoqtzuTqV5CG9Q6Ozg45ATMXsrSrGX1HtZATzdRqCfq5VTm2kYFGBSpjHN9xTBh9L8dJt5RJXr0dW0rRVuq1b170ht9-wYTMIj7tpn7BF9bxCzFfnQ3JohAc_M/s1600/IMG01357-20101009-2145.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs9rWvPLD1KYJU_fPxevoqtzuTqV5CG9Q6Ozg45ATMXsrSrGX1HtZATzdRqCfq5VTm2kYFGBSpjHN9xTBh9L8dJt5RJXr0dW0rRVuq1b170ht9-wYTMIj7tpn7BF9bxCzFfnQ3JohAc_M/s320/IMG01357-20101009-2145.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I decided to start maintaining my hair on my own but I really hadn't done any major research on products to use and the entire process.<br />
<br />
After washing and conditioning with the worst possible products I didn't even dry my hair properly I just went to bed.<br />
<br />
When I woke up the next morning Alas!!!!! my hair was a huge mess, it was so hard I couldn't even put a comb though it and after struggling with the hair for about an hour I decided to go to the salon (the same stylist that almost destroyed my hair the last time), I left with a migraine and a deep sense of insecurity with regards to my decision to go natural.<br />
<br />
After the ordeal at the salon I came to a silent decision to relax my hair or at least straighten it.<br />
<br />
While having a chat with a friend, she suggested texturizing instead and prior to her telling me about it, I had never heard of a texturizer .<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUK4TRgFgM-OdsnlJFlETsz7ZteqtobqgwQHr9DkW6k8dSmx1p7qkpULZj-SwU3KrHDYxvqaf5rrzchoCJC728pzZ59fH1ghW5Ip1YxNaBH0ohTsnRe-D6AZKL5Hhg8rHT6gz4XXj2oGw/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUK4TRgFgM-OdsnlJFlETsz7ZteqtobqgwQHr9DkW6k8dSmx1p7qkpULZj-SwU3KrHDYxvqaf5rrzchoCJC728pzZ59fH1ghW5Ip1YxNaBH0ohTsnRe-D6AZKL5Hhg8rHT6gz4XXj2oGw/s1600/images.jpg" /></a></div><br />
I don't know maybe it was plain naivety or ignorance but I honestly wasn't sure what I was expecting when I went to the store and when I saw what it looked like (exactly like a relaxer) something in my head just snapped.<br />
<br />
I felt so disgusted with myself and remembered all the reasons why I wanted to go natural in the first place.<br />
<br />
I decided to do some intensive research via the internet on the transitioning process. Below are a few things I wish I knew earlier about the entire process:<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>DO NOT FOR ANY REASON GO TO A SALON WERE THEY ARE IGNORANT ABOUT MANGING NATURAL HAIR</b>: They would simply criticize you and make you feel less of a woman for making the decision to go natural.<br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>HAIR STYLES WHILE TRANSITIONING</b>: For those that would rather transition rather than chopping off the hair completely I would suggest: <b>Weaves</b>- this helped with respect to hair growth as the weaves protect your hair against heat. <b>Braiding</b>-braiding your hair consitently for at least the 1st year during your transition will also do as weaves above. <br />
Remember though that during either of the processes above, you must get regular trims to allow for the natural growth while getting rid of the permed tips. <br />
<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>DEEP-CONDITIONING AND CO-WASHING IS A MUST:</b> You need to understand that like any other part of your body your hair needs to be hydrated and moisturized as much as possible. <br />
<br />
<b>Deep-Conditioning</b>: this is an intensive means of ensuring that moisture penetrates to the roots of your hair. You can decide to purchase products specifically for the purpose like <b>ORGANICS OLIVE OIL DEEP CONDITIONER </b>or you can mix one with this <a href="http://blackhairinformation.com/hair-treatments-and-recipes/the-caramel-treatment-a-natural-hair-softener/">recipe</a>. <b> </b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNo6_J92ccJ444ZdA2vI6LDHGJldKSaI3g5kT-2KR6FQLLSGGGz0rBSo-y7QCEXkpt4IPldRrV_00Jpxq55rMI7UH6mt45u26cHRYYMAitau6r2ZRM-sax5NiORwOH_OykmOuHzvdTtQg/s1600/africas-best-organics-olive-oil-deep-conditioner-15oz_799232_raw.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNo6_J92ccJ444ZdA2vI6LDHGJldKSaI3g5kT-2KR6FQLLSGGGz0rBSo-y7QCEXkpt4IPldRrV_00Jpxq55rMI7UH6mt45u26cHRYYMAitau6r2ZRM-sax5NiORwOH_OykmOuHzvdTtQg/s200/africas-best-organics-olive-oil-deep-conditioner-15oz_799232_raw.jpg" width="200" /></a></div><b><br />
</b><br />
<b> Co-Washing:</b> this is a must due to the fact that most shampoos contain sulphate (causes them to lather) which strips off the hair of moisture.During co-washing, shampoos don't exist and the only product used is a conditioner (VO5) which you use to wash and condition, rinse off with water once your done. While the conditioner is on your hair, you should section and comb your hair with a wide tooth comb. <br />

Yesterday seemed like an exception though, because of the almost natural state of my hair, my regular stylist was so clueless as to how to manage my hair. She kept tugging, pulling and basically putting my head through hell so I decided to do some research on how to manage my hair throughout my transition and have decided except I wanna fix a weave I am now my own personalized hair stylist.<br />
<br />
Did I mention I have become a <b>Mixtress</b>, started making homemade conditioning products to keep my hair soft and shiny, <a href="http://moptopmaven.blogspot.com/">MoptopMaven</a> inspired me to start mixing my own products and its been a very enlightening and exciting experience so far.<br />
<br />
In other news, had a lunch today at the incredible <b><a href="http://www.pattaya-thai-restaurants.com/">PATTAYA</a></b>; they make the best thai food in all of lagos and the prices are sooo freaking reasonable I totally recommend them.<br />
<br />
Hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead, <b>LES NUBIANS...............................</b><br />

<div><br />
</div><div>His music is a breath of fresh air, <b>Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</b> its no news that I am a huge fan of the Soul genre and what is more interesting is that he is <b>100% Nigerian, <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">he </span></b>is a phenomenal performer and the ease with which he strokes his guitar is pure magic.</div><div><br />
</div><div>I am a huge critic of Nigerian music since most people tend to praise the mediocrity that drives the industry,but he alongside his video producer, <b><a href="http://www.blogger.com/goog_1707794838"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;">Kemi Adetiba</span></a></b><a href="http://frannysquared.blogspot.com/2010/02/maga-no-need-pay.html"> </a>have been able to break the trend and its at times like this I am proud to say <b>I am Nigerian</b>.</div><div><br />
</div><div>Trust me its been on repeat all morning, and am anxiously anticipating the release of his album. </div><div><br />

ELAN ON SUNDAYOk so am sure everyone is aware of my ongoing journey towards going Au Naturel with my hair, so I decided to write a post on it but work made it almost impossible to post it.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>Anyways long story short <b>234NEXT <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;">newspaper </span></b>decided to pick up the post/article and put it in this Sunday's edition of <a href="http://234next.com/csp/cms/sites/Next/ArtsandCulture/Elan/index.csp">Elan.</a></div><div><br />
</div><div>I honestly never thought of myself as a writer, though I have always been known as a strongly opinionated individual but this totally takes it to a new level all I can say is <b>WOW!!!!!!</b></div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div>Will put the article up on the blog after it has been published, did I mention I'm going to have it framed <b>LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</b></div><div><b><br />
</b></div><div>Anyways in other news the blog has been totally behind and I am soooooooo sorry about it, I know we keep using work as an excuse but we have both gotten to a new stage in our careers that it is getting harder to keep up, but be rest assured we are coming up with a better schedule.</div><div><br />
</div><div>And finally, I have a movie date this weekend to see <b><a href="http://frannysquared.blogspot.com/2009/11/movie-review-ije.html">IJE</a></b> (did a post on it last year) so am overly excited. </div><div><br />

<br />
So it started off with clogs and the Olsen's' obsession with them and the next thing you know they are everywhere.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="line-height: 14px;">Enjoy guys....................... check out his fb page (<a href="http://www.facebook.com/feladurotoye"> <span style="color: blue;">http://www.facebook.com/feladurotoye</span></a>)<br />
</span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 14px;">I want to say a huge “Thank you and God bless you” to everyone who made our Anniversary and my Birthday a special one.<br />
<br />
Thanks for all the messages, email, sms and phone calls and prayers. May God bless you in ways you’ve never imagined and as I always say, may my greatest achievement be your least! I’m sure you know that I mean those words.<br />
<br />
I was astounded to receive all the comments from readers of my “LOVE LETTER TO TARA”! At my last count, I had a total of 238 comments. That’s totally unprecedented for me!<br />
<br />
I also had a lot of messages from the ladies who seemed awed by the fact that “a Nigerian man” had a romantic gene! The guys were shocked by my “lyrics” to Tara, (guys feel free to use any of those lines, lol!)<br />
<br />
Quite a number of the ladies wanted to know how to find the right man for them as well, so this note is especially dedicated to every woman believing God for the right man.<br />
<br />
Don’t worry guys, I’ll have one for you.<br />
<br />
Ladies, why do you want to get married?<br />
<br />
Is it because you’ve fantasized about the wedding day, or is it because your friends are getting married, or could it be pressure from family and friends who constantly remind you of the ticking of your biological clock? I assure you that those are all the wrong reasons to get married.<br />
To many women fantasize about the WEDDING DAY, and don't prepare for the MARRIAGE.<br />
The truth is, the marriage begins when the wedding ends.<br />
<br />
So why then should you get married?<br />
<br />
Forget the fairy tales, marriage is a covenant of two imperfect people coming together, committing their lives together forever, to create a union under God.<br />
<br />
So what are the steps to getting the man of your dreams?<br />
<br />
Step 1: Be the right woman:<br />
<br />
What kind of wife would your dream husband be looking for?<br />
Single ladies; please remember that as a woman thinks in her heart, so she “is”; not will be. Simply put, your thoughts, values, habits and words can tell any man, the kind of wife that you “are”, even though you are not married yet.<br />
<br />
Step 2: Become a wife, while you’re waiting for a husband<br />
<br />
Ladies, please recognize that “guys DATE chics and then go on to MARRY wives”. If the truth be told, there are too many Christian chics and too few Christian wives (or “wife material”) in Church today. Ask yourself, “am I a chic or a wife?” Who must I BE to attract who I WANT. Sweetheart, the man of your dreams isn’t hanging around in a bar or at a club, so what are you doing there?<br />
<br />
Step 3: Who must be to attract who I want?<br />
<br />
Write down the list of qualities that you want your husband to have. Now look at that list carefully. What have you written? God fearing, Intelligent, Good Communicator, Gainfully employed, Clean, Fun, has a car, apartment, has money etc.<br />
<br />
Now, ask yourself, does your list consist more of “what he has” or “who he is”? If it’s driven by what he has, then, you may be driven by the external props and anybody can fake that. “Sharp” guys can borrow their friends’ cars, apartment, money etc, but the intangibles of “who he is” cannot be faked. Character, truth, integrity, passion can’t be faked.<br />
<br />
If you want a God fearing man, are you God fearing? If you want an intelligent man, can you hold up your end of a conversation? You want a man who's gainfully employed, do you have a job?<br />
<br />
When I began dating Tara, I was quick to inform her that I wasn’t looking for a girlfriend, but a wife. She thought that was the most unromantic thing I’d ever said, but she appreciated the fact that I was honest with her from the get go. Ladies, marry a man for “who he is”…even if the world hasn’t seen it yet; rather than for “what he has”, because what he has can be taken away from him, but who he is will be all that’s left.<br />
<br />
When Tara and I began dating, I was living in a small “one room, room” where I had to share a communal toilet and bathroom with several families (one of my cooks used to be my neighbor). All my property (TV, electronics fridge, and other appliances) had been sown by instruction to build a campus ministry in OAU, Ife, called Eden. All I had left was a cane dustbin, a mattress and a carpet with a hole in the middle (which the bed thankfully covered).<br />
<br />
But there was much more to me than what I didn’t seem to have. I was always talking about my vision, what our life would be, where I was taking her to and I was also TAKING ACTION STEPS to get us there. Ladies, beware of the man who only talks the talk, but doesn’t WALK THE WALK! He must have corresponding action with his words.<br />
<br />
Sometime ago, about 3 years ago, Tara and I were invited to a TV interview, and the host asked me what was imperative for women to look for in a man. I remember saying. “Don’t marry a man for his “television”, marry a man who has vision and one day; his vision will put you on television”!<br />
<br />
So ladies, please understand that there are 3 types of men:<br />
<br />
1. The Scavenger: The scavenger is a man who capitalizes on a “dead” and “lifeless” woman. Scavengers look for women with low self – esteem, filled with pity and act like victims of life. These men prefer ladies with no inner strength that are always begging for sympathy or for someone, anyone to love them. Scavengers enjoy “no resistance” as they ravage their victims. If you’re like me, I enjoy watching Discovery Channel and Animal Planet on DSTV. I’ve discovered that in the animal kingdom, scavengers include animals like the hyena and the vulture. If you notice, these scavengers often look for the weak, sick or young, helpless animals that offer the least resistance.<br />

Are you attracting scavengers? If you are, you need to shore up your self confidence and self esteem.<br />
<br />
2. The Hunter: The hunter seeks to trap a luscious “game”, with the sole intention of devouring her; with only a remnant of a carcass. He looks for a beautiful intelligent woman, whom he considers to be a prize possession. This guy isn’t in the hunt, just to fulfill his desires, no, he’s after what hunters regard as “BIG GAME”. He’s looking for the “Big 5”. These are the 5 most difficult animals to catch on foot. The collection consists of the lion, the African elephant, the African Buffalo, the leopard and the rhinoceros, either the black rhinoceros or the white rhinoceros. The members of the big five were chosen for the difficulty in hunting them.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-width: 0px; clear: both; line-height: 14px; padding: 0px;"> <div style="border-width: 0px; clear: none; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3977904&op=1&view=all&subj=380869352184&aid=-1&auser=0&oid=380869352184&id=47083793339" style="color: #3b5998; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs610.snc3/32126_395671363339_47083793339_3977904_1922171_n.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; display: block; margin: 0px; width: 460px;" /></a></div></div><br />
<br />
He’s inspired by the thrill of the chase. The more she runs, the more enticing she becomes. He only wants her as a prize. When the hunter overcomes his quarry, the first thing he does is to decapitate it. Once beheaded, it is skinned and dried and then placed as a trophy on his wall to brag about. Does this sound familiar? The hunter finally gets the girl, eliminates her self esteem and causes her to be a shadow of herself. He kills her dreams, business ideas and her passion. Do you know any hunters? They’re only in for the kill!<br />
<br />
3. The Gardener: Now, this is God’s intention for what a husband should be! This man sees his wife as a seed. He recognizes that a seed is a tree in disguise! His responsibility is to nurture and bring out the best from her. One of the things a gardener does is to create the right environment for the seed to grow.<br />
<br />
<div style="border-width: 0px; clear: both; line-height: 14px; padding: 0px;"> <div style="border-width: 0px; clear: none; line-height: 14px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;"> <a href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=3977906&op=1&view=all&subj=380869352184&aid=-1&auser=0&oid=380869352184&id=47083793339" style="color: #3b5998; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><img src="http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash1/hs550.ash1/32126_395671658339_47083793339_3977906_1626657_n.jpg" style="border-width: 0px; display: block; margin: 0px;" /></a></div></div><br />
<br />
He nurtures her in an environment of love and care. Next, after planting, he waters her. What that means is that he’s concerned about her dreams; he wants to know what makes her tick. He takes her dreams and gives them expression; he puts structure and substance to her ideas. When he talks about her dreams, he uses the plural of “we”. He takes personal responsibility for the accomplishment of her dreams. He also removes weeds around her. He gets rid of all negative associations that are around her.<br />
<br />
Another thing the gardener does is to prune her. Pruning means to “cut back”. So he cuts back her excesses. It reminds me of those wall plants that grow so long, over other fences and eventually becomes a nuisance to everyone. Sometimes, cutting back is a painful process to the plant, but it is necessary for the plant to develop the tenacity for explosive growth. He cuts excessive, improper behavior, value systems and friendships. But this in all is done in love with the aim to make her better. He enlightens and encourages her to be all that she can be, to do all that she can do and to enjoy all that she can have.<br />
<br />
The wife of a gardener is like the path of the righteous; she shines brighter and brighter. She never has a better last year. She’s always growing and glowing with new ideas, new projects and new levels. Her testimonies are full of promotion, profit and new experiences. Her life is every inch, the dream of other women.<br />
<br />
Clearly, what all these 3 kinds of men seek in their dreams is as far apart as the east is from the west. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think God created man to be a hunter or scavenger. My Bible tells me in the Book of Genesis that the man God created and formed was assigned to tend the GARDEN of Eden. This tells me that the first man was clearly designed and wired to be a gardener and it was that man God thought shouldn’t be alone.<br />
<br />
As far as I’m concerned, every hunter & scavenger deserves to be a bachelor until they change their values, desires and dreams. I certainly hope that I can speak for all gardeners in this article.<br />
<br />
The evidence of a good gardener is his GARDEN. Take a look at my garden – TARA, and you can tell if I am a good gardener. And even though I know there’s great room for improving my gardening skills.<br />
<br />
I hope this note helps you sort out the gardeners from the rest.<br />
<br />
I believe in you and I know you're going to make one lucky man very happy very soon<br />
<br />
Expecting your wedding invites soon.<br />

*********************************************<br />
Newcomer rapper <b>Yesi</b> (aka<i> Kabiyesi</i>) recently had a launch party at Comix Club in New York City for his debut album, <b>Coronation</b>, which officially comes out on May 25th, and we were there!<br />
<br />
The event was very well organized, and well attended, with a young diverse crowd. <b>Chris Akinyemi</b>, another upcoming nigerian artist opened the show with a few songs, playing the guitar.<br />
Then YESI took the stage and commanded the crowd...nice energy, and the crowd was def feeling him.<br />
There were also some free giveaways of mixtape CDs and YESI t-shirts...all in all, great way to spend a Saturday night in the city!<br />
<br />
The album <i>Coronation</i> can be downloaded off iTunes, Amazon etc...so support Naija music :)<br />
*********************************************<br />
A few pictures from the event below...<br />
*********************************************<br />
<i>The hiphop artist reps Naija to the fullest -- born & raised in Ibadan, but currently based in New York City. His music is a fusion of English, Yoruba and Pidgin, and aims to relate to the average young Nigerian. </i><br />
<i>Two singles off the album, G.R.A and Aura are up and playing on popular Nigerian blogsites. </i><br />
<i>For more information on <b>Yesi</b>, check out his website, </i><a href="http://www.yesimusic.com/"><i>www.yesimusic.com</i></a><i>, follow him on twitter </i><a href="http://www.twitter.com/yesimusic"><i>@yesimusic</i></a><i>, or join the </i><a href="http://www.facebook.com/yesimusic"><i>Facebook fanpage</i></a><i>!</i><br />
