Keke Ogungbe is a joker!

Kehinde Ogungbe, is the brains behind Kennis Music and Prime Time Africa, an entertainment company that has done well in projecting Nigerian entertainment talents.

The amount of yabbing this guy has received is countless just for declaring that he does not shop where Nigerians shop and his cheapest pants costs $10. Here is the quote from an interview he had with NFC
"Do you ever shop in Nigeria?
No, I have never shopped in Nigeria because I buy for the future. I am a boy scout. That does not mean I disrespect Nigerian shops though. I like unique things. Even when I shop abroad, I don’t go to places where Nigerians go to buy. What I buy might look the same with other people’s own, but it is not that same texture."

He buys for the future, does that mean Nigerian shops has no future? lol, these rich people sha! It might be true for some shops but, give them some credit bro, there are SOME good shops and designers there now!

Is there a shop in the UK that Nigerians don't shop? I don't think so. Just name that shop, no matter how expensive it is, you will find Nigerians there unless the shop is in Jupiter where i live and i am a full blooded Nigerian.


Even Richard Dickinson, chief executive of New West End Company, which represents traders in Oxford Street, Regent Street and Bond Street, said sales to visitors from long-haul routes were 43 per cent higher than in December 2007.

And where are these people coming from?

Countries of origin included America, the United Arab Emirates and NIGERIA
This info is from daily mail o, so Keke abeg name the shops because me i want to know.

Placement!

I've had 2 good weeks at placement consecutively and i can't even believe it myself. Even though i work at the 3rd busiest Accident and emergency department in the UK, i am still happy, even though i come back home proper knackered, i still feel happy and eager to go the next day. I know its not normal cos i know a few of my colleagues have horrible experiences and horror stories to tell but its only God's mercies and favour that has kept me this far and i cant stop thanking Him.

I got the best report on my assessment last week from a radiographer that everyone knows is weird, people avoid her like plague and she knows it herself and even says it but she wrote me the best report ever on my assessment form and i was well impressed and pleased knowing it can only be God's favour.

Even though its been busy this week cos i had to travel outside town for placement and i was dreading working with the radiographer there cos i didn't know what her mood will be like even though i have prayed ( Oh ye of little faith). Well i got there on Monday and she wasn't there and wasn't due to be there till Thursday which was my last day so i only had one day with her, how cool is that! I was so happy and she was so cool and asked to do my assessment form again, but someone else did it already. I cant tell u how happy i am. Its just been a great week again.

Having said all that, i am proper tired, as in i'm tired. My legs hurts, my shoulders are painful from moving the xray tubes. Apparently its just my shoulders that hurt, my other colleagues are fine, so i must be doing something wrong. I need a serious full body massage.

Anyways i cant wait for this to be over and i can go home for summer break. At least see my family members again. I don't see any point in this last 7 weeks of placement after exams cos i just dont think its necessary, its just my opinion though. I know you get to practise more but having 1st, 2nd and 3rd years at the same time in placement, i am not sure that is good. There is loads of us there and not like there are more rooms, and its not like there are different stuffs that will present themselves that we havent seen before. They just like keeping us there and making us work without paying us.......Well what can we do, cant complain cos i aint paying for it, its free so be quiet girl!

I'm chilling tonight cos i am not going anywhere till later tomorrow, how cool is that, oh i better turn my alarm off cos i dont want it disturbing me in the morning.

Na nite people, i'm going to eat before i retire to bed.

Don't live in Halls of Residence!

Hi all! I can't believe how its been since i've posted something on here. I've been that busy, lectures has been so so tiring. Being on placement didnt make it any better. I have 4 assignments, 2 placement assessments and 1 exam. I could have finished my assignment but i have been on placement and the only thing i can do at the end of the days when i am placement is eat and sleep. I really can't do anything else. That is how tired i get.

Thank goodness i finished two of my assignments before i went home for Easter break. Now i've got the other two to finish and i've got less than 2 weeks as well as exam to revise for.....Did u ask what i am doing here? Well i needed a break from it all cos i 've been writing non stop for the past 3 hours and i just thought i need a break!

What has been happening to you guys? For me i cant even remember them all but i sure remember one, I'm going on holiday in august! I think i deserve it this time cos i havent been on any kind of holiday since last year april, more than a year now and yet i've been working hard, so i think i'm due one now dont u?

I'm counting down now. Everyone in my hall is moving out. They are all done for summer but NHS student are always the last ones to move out and 1st to move back in, how nice is that? Cos we dont pay tuition fees, they just make us work harder than any other student. I'll be finishing my exam and all academic stuffs in June and i have 6 weeks of clinical placement after that....how sad.

I was coming in from lectures today and i saw people dragging their travelling bags home and parents coming to pick their kids up from school.....i wish that could be me but no way is that happening till July....well i will survive, i always have.

There are some proper crazy people in my hall, my flat especially. They do steal bread, butter and marmalades from the fridge but i dont mind cos they put it back, well sometimes. Lately they've graduated from stealing stuffs like that to proper food. I Came in from placement about 2 weeks ago and my cooked beans was gone from the freezer and a few days before then, my 10kg bag of rice was gone. Now that was painful cos i really wanted to eat beans that day and rice was my main food. I eat it more than anything but now its gone. Out of annoyance, i mailed the management even though i knew they wont really do nothing. They acknowledged my email and sent the student warden to come and talk to me about it. Well i talked to him, told him what was happening but again there is nothing he can do about it, the deed has been done.
I'm over it now, been buying 1kg packs of rice since then as i cant afford another 10kg cos its nearly the end of session.

Yaradua is gone! Did u hear about that? I bet u did! Something tells me that he died long time ago, the recent publicity is just fake. How are we so sure that he is the one wrapped up in that cloth? I dont think so, there was no lying in state. Maybe its just be but i dont think he only just died, he died ages ago. Goodluck to acting president and i hope he leads Nigeria well.

David Cameron is now UK's new prime minister. It was a thug of war with their hung parliament during the election. I had no idea what it meant at that time but i knew God's plan will defo prevail. People are so scared that the conservatives will close the immigration borders but who ever is destined to come here will definitely come.

Neways, break time over, i better get back to work. I've got about 300 more words for one of my assignment and another 500 or so for the other one. I might not finish both of them tonight but at least i can try.
See ya all later
