My Weekend in Pictures (and words)

Monday thru Thursday

Had an Interview with on the 'Working Radio' show with Toolz on the Beat 99.9fm!


Tari & Toolz Oniru

The show is produced by Jobberman...a Job Search and Recruitment Agency. We spoke about opportunities in the Creative Industry here in Nigeria, with special emphasis on my craft, Writing.


Simi & Lekan of Jobberman with Tari

Met the most delightful person EVER!! And she's a TARIERE reader toooooo!! *now feeling like someone who has cool people reading her blog*


Kemi Olu-okun, Beat FM Web Administrator & I

Inspired by a good friend of mine, I went in search of some quality Catfish in a certain Barracks here in Ikoyi!!

The place is nothing fancy; in fact I almost caused a scene as I demanded for the Waitress to clean the area where I was going to be seated, before I graced the chair with my bum-bum (Yes! The Diva was officially in the building!!)

But the Catfish is an expedition on it's own...



It was soooo good, my friend whom I went with kept acting like hewas drunk on fish the entire time!! I would never have forgiven myself if I didn't take some back home for Prof. Mummy who is a real Waterside woman that loves her fish!!

I was right...she loved it!! I love my Prof. Mummy!! *now dancing excitedly*

Wednesday: Went to the Spa to..err...it has something to do with South America sha!! My darling Aisha came to show me moral support and from there we went to hang out with a friend of her's.


Aisha Ibrahim

At Aisha's friend's house, I proved once again why my name should probably be changed to Shakira or something...



As in seriously, how could I have drank this entire bottle of Rose all by myself?!

It's actually not my fault, it's LAGOS!! The Bestie, my sister and I actually had a conversation about the fact that practically everyone in Lagos is an Alchie!!

Like really, there's hardly anything to do in this town that doesn't involve booze!! God help us all...say AMEN!!

So on Thursday, like a true Lagos Alchie, I trooped over to Zamunda (yeah..named after Eddie Murphy's kingdom in 'Coming to America') to enjoy the asun (peppered goat-meat), Live Band and ...Booze!!

I'm sorry oh...but where I come from, you are trained never to say NO to FREE Booze!!


Caesario


Ada & Singer, Waje

Shout-out to Caesario and the rest of the Zamunda crew for inviting me and giving me a GREAT time!!



Me

Note that through this entire week, I had been struggling with Malaria!! It finally kicked in mightily on Thursday-Friday and so I had to fight back...



Yeah..I had to take all those drugs!! *sad face* But I've been a good girl and consistently tool ALL!! Not forgetting the Blood of Jesus which Prof. Mummy and Miss Natural soaked me in to be healed!!

Friday

Was all drugged-out through the day...felt better in the evening and went to Hotel Bon Voyage for the usual Friday Live Band & Grill by the Waterfront!!

It was even more exciting as Key-tarist, JAIYE, was performing with the Band!! I was soooooo NOT disappointed!!

Went to hook up with The Kingpin afterwards...had no clue I was going for a Halloween Party, but was pleasantly surprised when I got there...



Yes...this guy came as a White Garment Prophet, complete with his bell which he kept ringing in people's faces!! Lol...it was sooo funny!!



Was also loving the Bartenders, Bouncers and Waiters costumes and make-up!!



..and my Henny glass too!!

Haven't hung out with my Tones recetly, so was super-excited when I bumped into her Man!!


L'erin Davis & I

Made me feel like she was there!!

I love papping the Paparazzi *wicked grin*...


Kola Oshalusi - Event Photographer



Introducing: Water Martini

I tricked The Kingpin into having a sip...when he found out it was water, he told me I just spoilt his entire taste buds by giving him water to drink...Lmao..freaking Alchie!!

The Kingpin has beautiful feet!!

Saturday

Had an Amala craving yet again so went to get some...



When the lady serving the Amala begins to jump up and hug you when you arrive...you know there is trouble!!

May curiosity not kill Tari one day!! I saw this in the pot and asked the lady what it was...she told me and even though I was shocked, I decided to brave it and asked her to give me!!


Goat Heart

Even though we are brutal carnivores in this country, something just felt absolutely WRONG about eating the heart of another of God's creatures!!

That just gives new meaning to the phrase 'Eat your heart out'...as in the poor goat probably had dreams and a future, never imagining that one day, it's heart would be on the menu!!

I couldn't go through with it...Queen (house-maid) gladly did me the honors!!


Greta Timbuktu

This Greta can like to fall my hand!! I always have to remind her to sit proper...



Then once I'm not looking, she goes right back to it!!

I haven't spoken about the Timbuktu's much recently, this is because they've been going through a rather difficult time as a family and I felt it would be intrusive to give you Live Updates!!

But their holding up well, and once all is sorted (soon I hope), I'll give you the Lowdown!!

Sunday

Re-discovered one of my old Secret Places!! Gosh I treally loved (and apparently still do) that place!!

I used to work out of there like on the regular..it was soooo peaceful and inspiring!! I wrote some of my really great work there!

Had a delicious breakfast there which amazingly enough, cost just N500!!





My friend decided to pap me while we were there...



Later went for the Fashion Show by Ugonna Omerua's House of Nwocha line at the Four Points Sheraton...


Ugonna Omerua & 'Debayo Oke-Lawal

(Live from House of Nwocha Show..coming soon)
