Naked truth!


 

What on earth is Deolu coming up with today? What is this? Well, I’m extremely sorry if it the picture offends you in any way, it’s there to do exactly what it has done, GRAB your attention! And please be true to yourself, don’t go off prentending on me, we come accross worse pictures on movies everyday, and we don’t go swearing and cursing. Today I want to shock you a bit with the naked truth, some of it will be doom and some of it will be boom, so listen on.

I want to talk frankly today, about some cold naked truths. We love to make each other happy, offend no one, decieve one another in the name of being diplomatic, shy away from what can be offensive. We do these things are lose the ability to connect with each other. We become so cosmetic, covered up and unatural. This was not so in the beginning. In the beginning, we were naked but not ashamed. We knew all there was to know, and there was no reason to hide. Today, we all wear masks, we hide behind our careers, hide behind our degrees, behind our accomodation, behind our busy schedules, behind status, property, toys and behind all sort of things. We don’t watch these types of films, we don’t listen to that type of music, we don’t do bridges, we don’t climb bikes, we are tush, cool and so unreal. Some of us have forgotten our roots, we have forgotten the tough times, the sleepless nights. Where we are going is far, but if we remember where we are coming from, we’ll face the future with humility and not with chips on both shoulders. Be true to yourself, and let’s together, face some cold facts about the future. Continue reading

Nigeria Bloggers Conference Vs 1


History was made today, as at the same time Nigerian Bloggers gathered together in Lagos, Nigeria on the possibility of collaborating and increasing the general knowledge of the community, a blog world and new media expo was taking place in Las Vegas. I was shocked to discover that this worldwide bloggers conference had 200 facilitators of repute and thousands of bloggers and tons of corporate sponsorship. We were about 80 in number today, and we had a fun time together. The room was decorated in with New Nigeria Club banners, and the ever supportive team of Generis staff (Emore Ogho, Abiola Akinyemi, Ola Daramola, Seun Afolabi, Temitope Akinyemi, Ekwu Osodi, David Bernad, Charles Ugbomeh, Mayowa Oloyede, Lolu Daniels) made the event an organizational success.

We had 5 facilitators, Anu Oluwadare, Gbenga Aijotan, Olumide Alabi, Gbenga Sesan and My humble self (Adeolu Akinyemi). We had brief intro’s on different topic areas, and somehow waltzed into and open ended question and answer session. I did the intro, explaining the motivation behind the meeting, while one facilitator after the other talked about different aspects of blogging and how we can better leverage on this tool, to create immense value for ourselves and our country. We all seemed unanimous in our desire for an industry with standard that represents all of us. We shared passionately about how we can move the industry forward and shared thoughts on logical next steps for the Nigerian Bloggosphere. We also spoke about an opportunity that is about to be unveiled shortly that will take blogging in Nigeria to the next level.

Here are snippets of blogging excerpts from within the event… Continue reading
