I guessed any reason is good enough to celebrate. Here is to 1,000 caught spam. I guess my blog is somehow popular, if only to spammers

ihoho is a little project I just started. It is meant to be a photoblog. Some pictures that I find fascinating will be posted there. Initially, I intended it for showcasing piictures of beautful nigerian ladies (which I will eventually convert it to), but for now, I’ll just show some pictures I find on the web.

The name “ihoho” is yoruba for Naked. The reason for the name is because I wanted to showcase the beauty of the nigerian female without any cosmetic hindrances. Hence, the reason for the “naked”. Sorry, no porn there.

Am pinging myself just to confirm that I am still alive. Need to finish up on some projects.

NigerianWeblogs.net is still on track?

Sunday morning, November 4 2007, 6am. I woke up and had this feeling that I was not going to go to church. I went back to sleep.

I woke up to hear my name is screamed. “What?”. “The landlord wants to see you”. “Not again? My generator is bad, so it can’t be that. My dogs did not make noise through out the night (or maybe they did). What could it be?”. Don’t blame me, this man only complains. He lives for it. And yes, I was right, it was a complaint. This time it was with regards to the water tank.

I heard some whispers, someone had died. My neighbours wife died over the night. He was called by his in-laws around some minutes past 12. She had been sick for months. Could not go to church.

Around 1pm, the burial was done (I did not attend). Around 3pm, her folks came to pack her belongings <- this is what I have issues with.  The lady is dead barely 15 hours and the family were already fighting over her property.

A statement made included “we do not want another woman to use her property”. Oh stuff it somewhere the sun don’t shine. The head of the “mob” was her immediate younger brother who was living with them uptill a while ago. I am on this man’s side even if he is wrong (though I do not see how). The lady had some expensive things, agreed, but she was not working. Meaning that this same man was the buying this things for her, yet her family would insult him over them.

The marriage is less than 2 years and they had no kids.

I have seen things that I do not understand.

Many folks are saying the guy should skip the mourning and go ahead with looking for a new wife. What is your view?
