AREAAAAA! Fellow Nigerians, una well done o! You people showed that Nigerians are very smart and resourceful today, because with the songs, texts and SHOUTOUTS our callers came up with, I was greatly impressed, from all possible genres, from reggae to rap, una try abeg. The VIP kids didn’t stop clapping throughout today, I’m sure their hands are really aching.
Many mothers’ ears must be ringing now, because so many people made SHOUT-OUTS to their mothers, Bukola from Surulere, made a SHOUT-OUT to her Grandfather to wish him happy birthday, I wonder how old he is, made me wish I still had a grandfather alive. Bayo from the USA ( i.e. United States of Amukoko) lol sent us a text that says ”this text that has both bad news and good news, the good news is that it has no cholesterol, additives or fat, the bad news is that it has so much sugar, it might make you diabetic...” I really liked that.
EXCERPTS OF TOP 9 MOMENTS WITH ARAMYDE
• Lagos state government adopts a policy that bans reeling out the names of dignitaries at public functions so as to save time. This Fashola government is really a Nigerian state government with a difference, this is good o, its surprising in Nigeria, considering the attitude of self-importance that our politicians generally adopt
• 6th edition of the Annual Abuja International Film and Video Festival holds in September.
• John Hughes, the Home Alone scriptwriter is dead, he is survived by his wife, two sons and four grandchildren.
• A homeless anonymous holocaust survivor left one hundred thousand dollars to the Hebrew University of Jerusalem even though she had no known connection to them
• A Chinese lady who wanted her name in the Guiness Book of world records has turned up for her wedding wearing a 2162metre long gown and 9999 red roses. I wonder what car was able to take all that, maybe a truck.lol
On WEEKEND PREVIEW, the Manchester United vs Chelsea match seemed to be on a lot of minds, including Tosyn's(Red Devil for life!!!). That means I'm wearing my Chelsea jersey on Sunday (Up Blues!!!). Our fingers are crossed, I wonder who'll win, I guess I can only wait.

Feel Good Friday
Thank God it is yet another Feel Good Friday on Top Morning with Tosyn Bucknor or Double 09 whose goal is to entertain us on every given Friday morning, as the weekend begins. But right before the entertainment and fun began; we received traffic updates from places like: Abule-Egba, Third Mainland Bridge, Sholuyi, Maryland, Ketu, Dopemu, Iju, Oko-Oba, Mile 2 and Akute. All these places were free. The traffic at Maza-MAza, Ojo, Barracks, Mangoro, Iyana-Ipaja, Ojota and Agege was quite light. The weather, as it had been for the rest of the week, was quite chilly.
Maroon 5 opened the floor as we listened to some Alternative songs in the Yarn-Free Zone this morning. Every Feel Good Friday is also a Shout Out Friday. So, the lines were opened for people to make loud shout-outs to their loved ones, and their ‘once-upon-a-loved-one’. That is, shouts outs were to be made to everyone who means something, nothing, everything and anything to everyone. This could also be done through text messages.
In Aramide’s world, during the Top 9 Moments, we found out that Bill Clinton and drugmakers- Pfizer and Matrix Laboratories Ltd have announced a deal to lower the cost of treatments for patients with drug-resistant forms of HIV/AIDS. Good news huh? Aliko Dangote has been announced as the new President of the Nigerian Stock Exchange by the NSE Council. We also hear that all is now set for the 6th edition of the annual Abuja International Film and Video Festival, holding from Sept 23rd to 25th, 2009, at the prestigious Shehu Musa Yardua Centre and Cyprian Ekwensi Cultural Centre both in Abuja. A Chinese bride, on Thursday has made a bid for the record books when she turned up for her wedding in a 2,162 metre-long gown. It was also in the news that the famed writer and director- John Hughes- has died at age 59.
After the Top 9 Moments, it was fun, funn and more phuhn, all the way as people gave a preview of what their weekends were going to be like. After these exclusive information, Tosyn signed out at a few minutes to 11.
Much love,
Ruthina Atinuke.

Thursday
Every Thursday on Top Moring with Area Mama is another day to travel on the proverbial lane and surf the internet live on the show. The show started at 6:00 am as usual and people started sending in their updates at about the same time.
The traffic updates from: Ajangbadi, Ojo, Barracks, Maza Maza, Akute, Alagbole and Mangoro revealed that there was a heavy traffic in these places. However, the traffic at places like: Lagos-Ibadan expressway, Surulere, Sholuyi, Abule-Egba, Ketu, Ikotun, Oko-Oba, and Third Mainland Bridge was quite light. The weather in all these places was quite breezy. As people sent in their traffic updates, they were also asked to mention their favorite days of the week. Several people mentioned Sunday- for obvious reasons- they get to rest and make out time to worship God. Some other people chose Fridays because they say it puts them in the mood to have some fun during the weekend. Still, some others picked Saturday because they say it’s the time they have to do other things than work. Some other days of the week were mentioned as well.
For the Yarn-Free Zone today, we listened to songs from the likes of: Eagle Eye, Cranberry and Natasha Beddingfield. They were all expressing their love in different ways. After this, Tosyn surfed the internet for interesting sites, and encouraged everyone to do the same and share their findings with everyone. She also shared the latest news she found on Twitter, Facebook, msn, hi 5 and some other interesting sites she came across. Some other people also shared their findings on topics ranging from sports to entertainment.
After this, we had the Top 9 Moments with Aramide. The first findings she came up with was about the results of a study that showed that TV viewing and screen time are associated with elevated blood pressure independent of body composition in children. The next bit of information was that Columbia Pictures has solidified its plans to bring a Michael Jackson film- complete with footage of his final rehearsals in preparation for a comeback tour. There was also something in the news about Chris Brown’s assault of Rihanna. The case was scheduled for a hearing yesterday has been rescheduled for August 27. Finally, on the sports scene, there was news about Liverpool being poised to complete a deal to bring Roma mid-fielder Alberto Aduilani to Anfield.
To cap it all, we travelled down proverbs lane. This is the segment of the show where people got to recite proverbs in various languages other than English. It was phuhn!
At a few minutes to 11, Tosyn signed out on the show.

Zainab says she loves Seun, and Awoyemi proved that sometimes, when the stakes are high enough, even men can multitask, he said he was facebooking, drinking coffee and checking out videos on YouTube, all at once. It was reported that at MSN.com, Brad Pitt responded to some rumours flying in the air, dunno what he said, but u can find out on MSN.com, one of our 'stablest' people, Edoyak said he was having trouble writing on our facebook wall, but he eventually sorted things out sha.

• MJ: Michael Jackson film in the works, to be done by Columbia Pictures.

THE WEATHER REPORT
Early morning wind-chill conditions will give way to some warmth from midday. It is a partly cloudy day with scattered thunderstorms in parts of Lagos. The sun rose at 6:41am and will set at 7:03pm. Maximum temperature is 31degree Celsius, minimum temperature and overnight low is 23 degree Celsius.
On PROVERBS LANE today, we had a lot of proverbs in Ibo. Peter gave us a proverb in Ibo, which translates to mean, they don't use what they use to clean ear to clean mouth, there was a Yoruba proverb that hit me, it says, “tí òré bá kú, ogún òré ò lè kani”, which means, according to our caller, whatever you want to do for a friend, do it on time, preferably sometime before that friend dies (that last part was my, ehm, additional interpretation)
On SING A STORY, Usman Bashir sang “Lagimo” for PHCN, he says they’ve been trying recently, my brother I think I shall sing along with you because, yes they have been trying, at least we had light two days ago.lol. Thank God o. Funny enough, someone from Akute said the exact opposite, so he said we should sing “Imagine that” for PHCN. We also reach out to Mayowa, who said she lost her boyfriend two weeks ago in a car crash, we ask for strength for you and his family, to be able to bear this loss and come out strong.
That is all for today. See you tomorrow
