Misconception of "Swag" and how black men need to get it right.

Black men of this generation face all kinds of problems from high incarceration rates to high unemployment rates and while some of these problems are caused by the plans and systems that the "Man" has put in place to put us down; majority are of course by our own doing.  One of the issues that we created and we must fix asap is this new phenomenon called Swag.  Swag I guess is a man's persona, style or just the way he carries himself and presents himself to the world and also what make him cool.

I had to blog about this because i was having dinner with a young black woman who I had so much respect for until she told me that the one guy she had a crush on was Lil Wayne because he is the black dude with the most "Swag". I asked her what she meant by Lil Wayne having swag and she started rambling on and on about the way he dresses and what he says to women in his songs.  This dumb broad even went to say that she would sleep with Lil Wayne just because of the things he says?  Wow, the same dude that said "I wish I could fuck every girl in the world" and has like 5 baby mamas  and can't stay of drugs or out of prison.

Now to me Obama is a guy that has swag because for one he ain't never been to jail and has a nice job, dresses appropriately (no sagging here).

So dear brothers, instead of you sitting around and whining about the problems the society has poured on you, please know that how you present yourself to the world matters a lot and could be the key to you breaking that unemployment jinx or meeting people who can help get you to good places in life.

Some stupid hoes might have you believing that looking like wayne or Soulja boy is swag and may even give you some pum-pum for that but you have to choose between being a successful man in life or getting regular hood rat pum-pum.  

Kim Kardashian files for Divorce after 72 days. What a Nutcase!!

Okay so by now most who know me already know that I don't believe in marriage and I feel its just an old tradition that will eventually become extinct.  Majority of men nowadays will cheat on their spouses within a year of marriage so why do we even bother to go forward with the lavish weddings (a la Nigerians)?
I knew Kim's wedding was not going to last like the rest of the world also knew but even I did not think it would be over so quick.  This is going to be a big deal because how can you spend $10Million on wedding and then less than 3 months later, its over?  What were they thinking and why did they not take time to get to know one another before making a stupid mistake  jumping the broom?

How should the guest feel that a wedding that they took time out to plan for and spent money to get nice digs is already over before they can even say Congrats?  How should the sponsors feel after investing millions into this garbage of an event? Or how about Vera Wang who probably created an entire staff to attend to Kim's wedding dress project?  How should Kris's parents feel after inviting family and friends to share the joyous occasion with never mind the fact that they must have had to explain why their son is doing such a stupid thing anyway.

I mean seriously, what could have left them to come to such a decision so quick?  Word has it that Kris wanted to live in Minnesota and Kim wanted to live in LA which makes no sense at all because shouldn't they have had that convo within days of being together?

I had a friend in Nigeria who also had one of the most lavish weddings that I had ever seen in my life and within six months of marriage , we were out in Vegas together with girls all around us and yes he smashed a couple of them.  I am counting down to the divorce date on that marriage because it also has SCAM written all over it.

Obama the Messiah or Obama the 419?

I rarely cry in this life because quite frankly I am not an emotional dude but I will say that I cried twice because of the POTUS Obama; once when I was at that polling booth right after I voted for him and second the day he won the general elections and was giving his ever moving and motivational speech.  However, after the tears and hoopla has settled in, I am beginning to ask some questions about who really this dude is because all the promises that he gave during his campaign seem to be kinda empty now because for one, we are still in Iraq and Afghanistan and secondly the Big banks who got America into this mess were given hefty bail outs by the guy who was supposed to be against the financial special interest and lobbyists.

Politics by definition is a process whereby groups of people make collective decisions  but who are the group of people that are making decisions about America and the rest of the world.  Research the Bilderberg group and you will see who runs the world.  The Black man was just used as a pawn once again to be a puppet to calm down the revolution that was about to start.  They put him there so that he can continue their agenda of world domination and all that campaign rhetoric was nonsense.  Take a look at his cabinet and you will see the same people who ruined USA but he wants us to believe that the change will come from those same people?

So while we are happy and celebrating all over the world about having a black president, we must not forget that the world is still controlled and dominated by Anglophones and they just used a black man to calm the world down while their agenda continues.....

Occupy Nigeria NOW!!!

The new wave of occupy Wall street and other cities all over the globe has got me thinking why we as Nigerians who have been hoodwinked for years have not yet had Occupy Lagos or Occupy Abuja?  The protesters are protesting the way the rich keep getting richer and the poor keep getting poorer and is there any place more evident of that in the world than in Nigeria?

The band of Elitists that control most of Nigeria's resources and keep pummeling us into debt have had a free run for years and yet no student protests nor revolution has occurred.  Is this how we will continue to sit down and watch these bastards as they treat us like slaves?  Americans and Europeans have started their own revolution and we all saw what happened in the Arab nations with the likes of Ghadaffi; so when will we rise up and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH?

Should / Would you let a mate know that he / she is just a fling?

So I just got off the phone with my friend who recently relocated temporarily to Nigeria for business and while we were politicking (guy talk) he informed me that he is now prancing around in a Range Rover jeep and that the owner of the car is a girl he is dating / sleeping with.  That will be fine except for the fact that the dude is married here in the states.  What really caught my attention is when he said that the girl told him to please not hurt her and he said to me that he was thinking to himself that "abi she should not hurt herself" LMAO.  We laughed for a second and then after I realized that this is not funny as the poor girl has probably started telling friends and family that she has a new guy who just relocated from USA.

So my question is should one just keep it real and tell a new acquaintance that this here is just a fling and nothing long term will come from it?  Keep in mind that if he had kept it real, he probably won't be getting free dinner, sex and of course riding around in the range rover.
