Exam Parolez..

Howdy y'all?

Sorry your boy hasn't been around for a while. I've been preparing for exams and it hasn't been exactly easy. Anyway, what's good? I've been getting a lot of feedback and really wonderful topics for review by us here at archieglaze.blogspot.com from you guys (my lovely readers). It's really wonderful to know that some of you guys actually take your time to read through the site, all previous posts and even use the search tab. I love you guys and I promise to return to the way we were right after my papers are done..xo

Can we have a moment of Silence?...

Howdy Y'all!

If you are reading this today, then you probably are doing it because you need something or someone(me) to take your mind off the fan ruckus, football tv presenters and VuvuZella blaring South Africans.

It is indeed a great day for everyone in the world. A dream come true for many(mostly South Africans who won't go to school or will have to work half day for a month because of the World Cup). The fight for freedom, equality and a chance to show that we can prove ourselves has finally paid off.

I'm particularly loving Shakira's performance from last night.It was a lot of fun to watch, really colourful and entertaining. As with all celebrations though, i always pity those who have to clean up the venue... that's so not my favourite job.

In the midst of all the excitement and making merry by all of us, the family of a South African pillar has been thrown into grief and mourning. The death of Nelson Mandela's great granddaughter Zenani Mandela in a car accident has indeed saddened many of us who do not believe in doing many wrong things in the name of football.

Johannesburg Metro police spokeswoman Edna Mamonyane said the driver of the car, a man, had been arrested and charged with drunk-driving. She said the driver, whom the police refused to name, could also face culpable homicide charges. “The Metro police found that he was drunk,” Mamonyane said. “He lost control of the vehicle and it collided with a barricade.”

Police spokesman Govindsamy Mariemuthoo, who earlier said the driver would appear in court for a preliminary hearing Friday, said that it had been postponed for more investigations, and that the driver was not being held. Mariemuthoo said that was not unusual...

May her gentle 13 year old soul rest in peace.

Primary School in Naija?... Confirm here pls.

Howdy y'all?

        Yes, I know I've been away for a while. Been working on my first book and all; Putting all the finishing touches to it and all. It will be out for purchase before the year runs out sha...

         Okay, to the business of the day. The law states that you have to go through primary school before you get qualified for secondary school and university. The experience that you have in a Nigerian elementary primary school cannot be equaled by any. The mumuish (lol) touch to primary education when you look back can be both funny and annoying.

        

               Playing 'catcher' and 'police and thief' during recess break time et al. Holding the babes (who happened to all be wearing singlets just like us) round the waists, chests and rolling in the sand. Fast forward to now and you have to be careful so you don't snap the bones in the Victoria Secret bras which may be holding Double D's that are probably saline or silicone... And about the holding, you are definitely risking getting slapped or stepped on with 11" heels.

          Shit does happen, but just for the nostalgia it brings. Check these original 9ja poems out...


Some have food but cannot eat, some can eat but have no food. We have food and we can eat. Glory be to thee o Lord. Amen.

Closing time in the afternoon:

Now the day is over, night is drawing nigh, shadows of the evening, still across the skies

Glory to the father, Glory to the son, And to thee blessed spirit, Whilst all ages run, Amen!
