KUWDA MAILS

Hello amazeballs,I know I’ve been MIA for weeks now,am really really sorry, it’s due to circumstances beyond my control. It is heartwarming to note though that despite being away, you all still visit the blog EVERDAY, probably keeping tabs to see if I’ve posted a story,lol, am really humbled by those acts of yours, that you didn’t turn your back on kuwda during these trying times [abi no be trying times? Lol]

 Also,my inbox is always overflowing with mails you guys send in,queries,questions,prayers,I really wish I could just screen-grab all of these as am wont to do as proofs of the overflowing mails I get from you all amazeballs daily as obviously I can’t post all questions on here,I say, thank you, thank you, thank you. To break my silence abit and keep the blog busy, I’ve decided to post some questions and mails I’ve gotten from fans to also serve as acknowledgement of the mails and not seem like a conscious diss, you all know I love you all my vibrant, amazing amazeballs right? :}.

As expected, my head is burstling with lots of things to say concerning events and happenings in my family, ranging from the comical to mundane and to the outright scandalous… Ugghh! My family though [shakes heads], keeping fingers crossed. Anyway, straight to the mailbox now,shall we?

So far on Keeping Up With D Adagiris

Keeping up with d adagiris started in 2009/2010, it follows in the footsteps of the kardashians but at the beginning, chronicles the lives of 3 brothers, Maj, Qatari and Hamz who live with their widowed mom, going through life with its attendant challenges, highs and lows, lovelives and extended family troubles. Their late father,who came from a prominent home in his hometown and quite rich in his own right left them a house and family inheritance which their paternal grandmother and matriarch of the Adagiri dynasty has under control,not releasing it to the brothers and their vast number of cousins from the brothers' uncles who are also late, the matriarch dominating over her daughters-in-law lives.

The moment mom walked in,she looked around at the shabbily and hurriedly arranged apartment which she had left tastefully furnished earlier that morning, without saying a word,she walked up to the dining room and dropped her purse on the table which immediately swerved to one side on impact and her purse fell off,that was when she noticed one leg of the dining table is broken,add this to her figurines being smashed,tea cups,broken,kitchen door gashed in the middle,decorations around the house destroyed,our persian curtains torn down!

Wow!

Karl opened his mouth to explain but mom held up her hand for him to shut it,she calmly picked up her phone and called someone to come over with his "gadgets" as soon as possible,my brothers and I shared worried glances,wondering who "he" is that is coming with his "gadgets", what could this all mean? She turned to face Hamz,a concerned look creeping into her face,she moved quickly to his side,her high heels clucking along on the hard,glassy tiles. She squatted lady-like,one knee on the ground to protect her modesty,her hand rested on the cushion beside Hamz who was splayed on the sofa, felt his body temperature and asked if he is still in a lot of pains and also if he had taken medication,Hamz nodded saying yes he had and that the pain was now minimal,only stinging when he tries to move,she smiled wryly and patted him on the head telling him he would be fine, she turned to face me and asked if her food is ready,I nodded in the affirmative,she sighed and asked me to serve it and bring it on a tray to her room and with the thumping gait of an amazon,marched gracefully to her room while I quickly waltzed into the kitchen and followed her bearing a yummy lunch and quickly came back to tackle my brothers

When two strong men engage in a physical combat in a family apartment...properties around them suffer- Maj 2014


A shirtless Karl roared like an injured lion when he pushed an equally shirtless QT so hard and violently that it sent QT flying in the air,his hands frantically trying to find support mid-air as he went down, landed with a heavy thud on the dining table,his hands pushing off the ceramic tea cups placed in a stainless steel tray on the table which were sent flying in different direction as they went down, smashing on the floor and catapulting broken glasses everywhere, QT struggled up quickly,blood trickling down from a cut sustained from one of the broken cups that slit his skin,he didn't even seem to notice or feel a thing,his face flushed with fury,rushed at Karl,strangling him by his neck who in turn dealt him with a jaw breaking blow that sent his saliva shooting all over !


I screamed at both of them to stop fighting as they seemed intent at killing each other while I retreated back for fear of having my teeth smashed off,in the face of the deadly punches I see them throwing at each other totally blinded by rage, they won't grow back if I loose them.

I AM MAJ...AND I AM MEE

I am Maj...and I am Mee...a guy who is soft-spoken with with taut skin,light-chocolate and even complexion,dreamy eyes,perfectly shaped nose,angelina jolie-esque shaped pouty lips,high cheek bones and sultry looks...I shouldn't be complaining right?

*scoffs* I wish.


Another round of laughter crackled derisively in the sitting room downstairs,obviously the kind of laughter that tells you it is mocking someone. Loud and irritating tidal wave of giggles sweeping forth towards me,tsunami-like from the sitting room downstairs and distracting me so much I couldn't hear myself think,I just couldn't take it no more,I was busy in my room doing some research online on my laptop and also typing an episode of kuwda while Hamz and his gang of friends were busy in the sitting room trading girlfriend and sex stories of bitches they had used and dumped as I shook my head in pity,wondering that in a not too distant years back,they were just babies.

Happy new month of August

This is wishing you a month of wonderful, amazing and beneficial august visitors and ofcourse, an ebola-free month,hehe. Happy new month Amazeballs!

Coming up on Keeping Up With D Adagiris!

Grim

" There was something almost beautiful about the white ribbons tied to stakes as they fluttered in the wind; some sitting amid a sea of golden sand, others poking from clusters of yellow and dull-green wild grasses.

But then you saw that these were the most macabre of markings, each one representing the final landing place for hundreds of human beings slaughtered in the sky for this is the grimmest of graveyards. Here on the gentle rolling hills of eastern basra in iraq, beside an abandoned Shiite-era poultry farm, lay the innocent people whose lives were extinguished so suddenly in an explosion at 33,000 feet on a monday afternoon



It had been a long and slow day,nothing spectacular happened,the day just drifted slowly till evening when after preparing dinner,I set the table thereafter I sat in my favourite couch,drafting the next episode of kuwda while my brothers howler,jumping all over the place playing a game of football on playstation...


...Mom's car horn blared from the gate and soon after screeched to a halt in the compound,she jumped out and quickly dashed into the house and towards the toilet,saying she was so pressed and that Hamz and i should go and bring in the yams she bought from the car boot



"I came across a little girl, maybe four or five, her uncovered corpse in its cute red top and a jalababa beside some bushes,nearby was a pink and white stuffed toy bear, a big smile stuck incongruously on its felt face, alongside a Winnie the Pooh.

Ramadan

It's exactly one week to the commencement of fasting and am feeling jittery,unlike my heavily built brothers,am slim and once the fasting starts,I would only reduce to an american size zero,it bothered me, (God forgive me)when I hear jingles and infomercials on television and on radio announcing the arrival of the holy month,it bothered me even more when an excited mom announced to me that we go stock up on food supplies before prices of food stuff skyrocket in the market

Since we would be buying food stuffs in bulk and heavy lifting is required,that's what we have muscle buffs in the house for,so my brothers slipped on their tank tops and I did same,ready to get into the car with mom and onwards to the market

"Maj..what's this you wearing?" Hamz asked,looking at me rather icily

"What does it look like dummy? Something like what you wearing" I retorted

First impressions

Standing in front of the imposing edifice of Standex enterprises,i let out a petrified exhale,pulling nervously at my tie,whispering a silent prayer to God to help me scale through the interview successfully...yeah! I came for an interview

Two weeks back,my friend tuby sent me a link to a job vacancy at this blue chip company with headquarters in abuja, I'd hesitatingly clicked it after much pressure from my friend because I didn't think I stood a chance clinching the slot

"My cv isn't rich enough" I moaned "not when there are candidates out there with such impressive cvs,extra-curricular slash internship slash masters slash everything cool that would make you cringe on sight" I said heaving a sigh

"Just go ok! There's no harm in trying" he urged me,I nodded,telling him I will but knowing in my mind that I won't but somehow he gets to know if I haven't done what he wants me to do,he backs me into a corner and gets me to agree to swear with the name of God that I have done what he asked and he knows I don't joke with God,so I would confess I haven't,so remembering that,I decided to click the link and submit my cv

"They most probably won't call me anyway" I concluded,so I sent in my application letter and attached my cv without any hope of a response.

As the queen bee looses her eggs

"I need a very chilled bottle of water majeed...do you think you can get the lady over there to give you a bottle?"

Mom demanded earnestly,pointing towards a well dressed lady dragging a sack of chilled bottled water along, fanning herself with her hand then craning her neck across the table towards me,trying to get her voice above the loud blasts of music coming from massive speakers in the hall where the reception between aunty ibukun and her hubby was taking place

"Am seriously parched" she shouted

Aunty ibukun is the daughter of one of our neighbors,chief ogundayo and his wife who are far along already in age,aunty ibukun is one of mom's friends in the street,this happened when she started to coach me and Hamz at home some years back after her youth service corp as mom's busy schedule doesn't allow her to mix much with people on the street but we have high regards for the ogundayos and though she's marrying quite late since she finished her service and most of her younger siblings are already married,we were all glad she was finally tying the knots,though my brothers declined attending,saying they couldn't imagine following our mom to weddings at their age..well,I was her last resort,I grudgingly agreed..with thoughts of the delicious rice I would eat coursing my mind from what I'd seen them preparing in their compound the day before when mom and I went to greet them
