Homies...

Today, I feel exhausted after two hours training and should be in my ever lonely bed sleeping but then I sat on the floor of my bathroom thinking. Cause I'm a thinker and I do this often whenever I took time to myself. So I got up to mirror next to me then I said to myself. Who among everyone I've met here and can refer to as my homie and what marks/effects they leave on me. I couldn't think of one thing precisely as everyone them has their own uniqueness and I'm convinced our meeting isn't by accident. But why are we friends and who would life have been without these people?

This gonna be hard but let me see how much I feel I know about these people I hang out with most times. What effects they do have and leave on others. Please I stand to be corrected constructively when my opinion says otherwise about anyone. It's entirely personal point of view. Now let's get going people...

First on my list was this man.
Dr. Ken Gadaffi
He's a jack of all trades and master of ALL. He's adviser to NOCC , Press Officer to BKFC and renown lecturer in one of  thCambodia's reputable University in PP. He's happily married with great kids and one of which is as tall as Dr. Ken. I couldn't think of anything much but I just realized I've got a lot in common with this man and I'm damn lucky to have him in my life today. He's the man I ran to when I'm running off ideas on certain pressing issues. Thanks for being an A+ effect in my life here.

Come next is...
  
                                   Shadrack and Bethany

Thinking way back, Shadrack and I used to be best pals. Hanging out and doing most things together. We argued and disagreed most times but def stick out for each other no matter what. Even thou we lived in different apartments but there was never a day of not cooking and eating together. We fight over food and clothes and not that we weren't having enough but we were just been boyz who refused to bow for each other. We have used one another to get to where we are today. This dude hails from my hood and there's a true brotherhood blood flowing in veins but two captains never sail in one boat. There come a point where we have to part ways to be captains on our own but love still wax stronger and better from distance. Today, he's  married to best woman in the world, Bethany. No doubt, she has been a huge positive impact in life of Shadrack. I love and respect them cause they 're pacesetters among us for being first marry. This two made me believe in my own saying "life begin properly when you find love and a true partner who would stand and support you in everything". Thanks guys for being you and I'm grateful for your friendship.

In da crew is...
Cathy
Well, this mixed babe from Mexico and America is no doubt a huge person in life today. When road was rough and tough and almost unbearable she was there for me. She's a smart and intelligent person. No wonder she's a wine GURU! She's the brain behind all our footage. Anyone who messes with her mess with me so guyz be warned :) Somehow she has assumed position of CEO of our intend entertainment production. Watch out PP. For all you've done, still doing and going to do, I say thank you Cathy and just so you know, I appreciate our friendship so much.

WAIT! Area.... Warri...
                                       Paris and Stella 
This man in his way is like Nelson Mandele. He leads from behind and he stands for what's right regardless of anything happening. He's married to a former coworker Ms. Stella and their union has been blessed with beautiful kid. Paris called me one day to say... Bro, your my OWN and forget what we do/say outside. we're family and will always remain as family. Thanks for your words and being there always. One love!

Pele boy...
                                              Kenny 
This dude is special to me. He has his way into me and see him as blood brother. I left shore of Naija with him and since then we have been great together. He has amazing charisma which I believe will take him far in life. Strong midfield player. He has played for bother for PPCFC, Nagaworld among others. 

Hmm....
                                              Apollo
This aboki here is the most sort after footballer in our group but no strength cause he would make sure he attend all functions in and around PP :) Bros is na I joke I dey ooh. Anyway, Apollo is the first hausa man I have as a friend from my dear country. And he made me believe not all Hausas carries dangga! He has a good heart and he's always himself. Man, you've earned my respect long time ago and appreciate our friendship.  

The marathon runner is next...
                                     Maggie and Cesar 
Maggie is my first Kenya friend ever. She's lovely and ever smiling lady. We met few years ago here in PP. She's a non stop hip pop dancer and of course Afro-beats. Her long term dude Cesar is my good friend too. This two are so adorable and I'm more than happy for having them as friends today. Thanks guys!

Brothers from same state...
                             Eazy, Kevwe and Zagaworld
These guys hails from same state as me. The big heart state. We disagree and agreed and brotherhood stands stronger each day. Kevwe is a good guy with a beautiful and caring lady as wife. He's kinda controversial sometimes but that's his way and I respect him. Zagaworld is the shortest man among the brothers and he likes BIG things :) I like him cause a hard fighter (working hard). He has a very weird dance step and if your not in family, sorry you can't see this. Damn, he's got big d*** between his legs. Eazy! This blunt and loud talker is a student studying Int'l Relations in a university. Kinda stubborn but only for a good cause. Their best hobby as I knowing is cooking and if i have to pick the best, I'll pick Eazy. He's cooking is way far than Igwe and Oshare. Thanks guyz for being there and ii appreciate all you have done for me here.

Sihanoukville connection follows...
                                            Abidayo
Abby and Dayo are from the states taking a break from work. So I met this wonderful couple traveling around Cambodia....on motor bike. They rode their way from Siem Reap to PP and then Sihanoukville where we first met. The amazing thing about their journey is that they never intend spending much time here but for love and care they have for us, they have been with us for months now and still going. 
There's one thing I learn from this two. Love and trust! Abby would talk to almost everyone in a bar and danced with strange faces without thinking of her man. Same goes with Dayo except that he sit/stand in a spot watching and interacting with people. I asked one time. Do you ever get worried  when your wife go missing in a crowd? His reply was NOPE! Cause at end of everything, they both head to get kitty Perry pizza on street 51 then out to complete last gig of the night at home. Thanks Abidayo for trusting on us and sharing kingdom of wonders with us. 

Please meet the Skelewu men!
                                   Tomasz aka Sankara
Sankara is very entertaining and fun to hang out with. When he's high he remove his underwear in front everyone then next thing is dancing. He's good looking dude and a ladies man. He speaks over five languages and that what I admire most about him. He also walks like someone with gonocaucus :) please ignore my words if you don't know what that means. Thanks dude for a friend.
                    Malachy aka Oduamadi alias Peter calabar
This one is someone i have a transferred love for. He's a kid brother to a very good friend who believe and trust me. This self proclaim wise man is a great cook too. I like him for just one thing. Never give up spirit. Keep it up man. Life's opening up for you gradually and your twin babies are close to be born into this amazing world. Congratulations to both of you and may God grant Kat safe delievry-Amen!

Meet the queen of feather from Nederland...
                                        Anouk Plan B
Creativity is something I'm crazy about and when I see anyone doing it, I feel challenged. This self proclaim "queen of Nederland" design ladies ear rings with feathers. They look good on her thou but here's what I first thought of her crazy fashion mind. Back in Africa, most people use and wear feathers only in festive period. They're kinda scaring and spiritual and everyone is afraid of them. They are known as Igbe people. They spray powder and horrible perfumes around just to intermediate. But after knowing Plan B more, I realized it's just her creativeness and no string attached. Except that she has snake as pet. Oyibo people self :)

Warri connection #1
                                      Fred aka Oshare
This man is a least person I expect to meet here. He's a big name from home. I used to watch him play from ground stand. He had it big then and meeting again was like WOW! Popularly known as Oshare, is a great brother. Regardless of age difference, this dude will make food in his apartment then bring it to my place cause he thought I'm not eating well as I should and he forbids me from eating what he call white people foods. According to him, those food do not produce enough energy for me. 
Fred has a very weird likes that I find really funny. He enjoy taking photos of himself often and even when in bathroom or toilet. His mobile phone is the busiest ever in PP. WTF! He has longest throwing in field of football with a very slow running pace.  He enjoys cooking and eating with brothers. 
To you I say thank you for all the good food you've been feeding me. One love bro.

                                Olisaemeka and Kingsley 
Olisa has long been a friend since I first got to PP. This HOT shoot shooter is peaceful and very attentive person. He has played football across SEA with his last stroll in Thailand till injury forced him outta game. Maybe we're gonna organize charity for him to perform long awaiting surgery :) 
Then Kayboy as his fondly call by friends. He has underground dancing steps. Something similar to popular Yoruba singer call Pasuma in Lagos. They dance only between the kneel and ground. He's a very prolific central forward and has placed for PPCFC.

Just a way of saying thank you and I really value my friendship and brotherhood with y'll and pray God to strengthen this bond than where we are now. There're more to life than we've all seen or experienced. Stay safe and God bless...

Your humble friend and brother,
Harry!   
 


ADD...

I can't sing but I'm gonna work hard for you to like me
Didn't dream cause if I failed then I might be 
What they say I was. Could I ever say I did?
Tell yay now that I'm 2nd to admit it's insecure.
I can't understand the application, if I applied myself
I guess there would be no situation...
But who teaches who? When everyday's a substitute
I tried to plant LOVE but it never took root.
My soul got weeds and the roots are too deep
The roots don't sail cause the roots are too deep
WAIT! ADD see my roots too deep. 
A kid too afraid to close his eyes and sleep.
Can't you hear me stutter every time I speak?
Fear, shame, disappointment and heartbreak said hello 
When SHE left me weak....
Loved me and left me with abandonment issues.
Pain's a secret but it illuminates in me then 
It creates a menu in and within me...
It puts sadness and disappointment on my plates.
You don't know till later how much ever I eat of it now.
I'm watching my weight. Will this be my hardest lesson?
But if it's not, then I'm on to the next one 
Hoping I might get lucky then erased all my sadness 
And broken heart stories. But then no giving up 
Even as fear of ever getting hurt again slowly settles in...
So I say hello FEAR, it's about time we speak.
I'm so gonna kick you outta my life and turn everything 
Around for good and redefined my LOVE life again.
It may take a while cause our roots runs deep...
But before you leave...

I want all those things you took from me back!


This is for someone I love and care about and can't have for some unreasonable facts.You know yourself! You'll always remain part of my life.

Let them say


Sometimes it's best we pay deaf ears to what people say or do

You saved me!


When everyone is gone away
I can always count on you to be right there
And when I felt like giving up
You were always there to push me on
And when I fell to the floor and no one cares
You stretched your hands out and pulled me up
You saved me and you were there when I called
You found me when I was lost
You gave me hope when there was none for me
You showed me what LOVE is when you saved me
You also showed me how to love when you saved me

Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!!
