RANDOMIZING YOUR THURSDAY!

On the Top of the Morning show today Thursday, 27th August, 2009, things were really unpredictable as we started off with the AREA! show, where the only thing that gets you on the show is shouting AREA! and Tosyn, in true random Thursday style, asked callers to mention the people they can see in their neighbourhood; you might recall that we started “randomizing” our Thursdays a few weeks ago where we started with “read something jo!” and then we were talking about fears last week; we had pap sellers, breadsellers, agberos, and even the milk van and newspaper boy inside Bayo’s dreams from the United Streets of Amukoko (USA).lol. On PROVERBS LANE, where we usually have proverbs in any language other than English and then translate them into English, we had proverbs from isokoland, yorubaland, iboland, etc someone even gave us one proverb in English, Yoruba and Ibo. We then went ONLINE REALTIME where listeners sent in texts to let us know what they were doing online right then, many people were either facebooking, twitting or doing both, a lady was applying for jobs over the internet and I think she dropped some information for other job seekers on our facebook page, people were on eBay, YouTube, Yahoo!, someone was saying that she hadn’t gotten a reply to the email she sent to Tola Sunmonu of Harambee Nigeria.

Please note that the Harambee 2.0 annual conference takes place tomorrow, 28th, August at Shell hall, MUSON centre, Onikan by 8am, the theme of the conference is “Planting Seeds of Tomorrow” and Admission is Free. MI is expected to be there and lunch is served. To make reservations and for more details, check out www.hendeavor.org ,send a mail to harambeenigeria@yahoo.com or search for their facebook group.

On SING A STORY, our “randomizing” continued because everybody had a different story to sing, no two stories were the same; while someone sang “Glory, glory Lord...” someone else sang “Aye pogan...”, there was quite an amount of appreciation to God sha, from “wellu wellu” to “boundless love” to “sope tie” to “glory glory”, and as always, we had “loooots of love”, the most touching story today though, which actually brought tears to my eyes was the story of the man who lost his wife in childbirth over a year ago, though the child lived, and somehow, he was still able to find the strength to sing Sammie Okposo’s “wellu wellu”, we should all take a cue from him, he’s a man who views his cup as half-full rather than half-empty. We pray for more strength for him(it can never be too much now) and we also pray for the lady who lost her mother recently, we ask for strength and comfort for you.

That’s all for today. Till tomorrow. Stay blessed

Ciao
