Today...

...I woke up with a splitting headache, that funny enough affected me only on the right side half of my brain and with remnant memories of a dream that seemed like a puzzle I couldn't solve.




...is the annivesary of Fela's death and we never mourn this legend, today rather brings a celebration of his life, music and legacy. We all miss him. I do. I now many of our public officials a la Kalu, Nnamani, Turaki, Obasanjo, et al and not forgetting our errant men in black wouldn't have escaped the wrath of his tongue were he alive. Fela not only made good music, he spoke for the people in a manner that not even today's so called concious artist can dare replicate. Not even daring the daring 'Jaga Jaga' crooner.

...ten years after, Fela lives on.

Indomie Noodles....what Nutritional Value?

I love Indomie oh! I do. And I love their new ad campaign, the 'Feed your Heroes' ad on TV. Its nice, really nice. But lately I have been thinking 'what nutritional benefits are there in a meal of indomie?' Not that I'm the kind of person who is exactly meticulous about my food, but I wouldn't appreciate been served chaff and so I wondered if my much loved indomie noodles contains certain minerals, and vitamins or was it just about the taste.

But if there isn't, wouldnt it would help if the manufactures laced those noodles with some vitamins, minerals and all of that. Because all bournvita tells us is how many minerals and vitamins are contained in their beverage, Peak Milk too took on the strategy and even increased theirs to about 27 or so, and it became like a competition.

And some one please tell them, the size of Indomie has shrinked and we don't like it. They shouldnt forget that nolonger do they enjoy the monopoly they used to have. There is Chikki in the market now and a whole lot of others.


Indomitables sucks. Well, maybe not exactly. I just thought we were going to see them beat up the agbero's in Lagos. Superheroes who can do anything. Of what use are they?
