YANDI! The Evolution of e-Commerce

Image
The growing E-commerce space in Nigeria now has a truly indigenous platform following the launching of YANDI; a brain-work of a set of young Nigerian entrepreneurs out to revolutionize the experience of consumers. Yandi according to the initiators represents the phrase You & I (Y-AND-I), with the theme “connecting U and I to everything”. The soon to be launched platform (NOVEMBER 25TH 2016 - BLACK FRIDAY) is the first everything for everyone online platform that opens a larger inventory option to both buyers and sellers.

This Era

Image
There's very little that has not been said, very few that has not really heard, so small a number that has not seen and almost no one has not felt it. That we live in a very curious era...  A strange time...  The end of a season...  The last days as many who know would call it... But isn't it stranger that the number still acting oblivious to the subject is so great? How abashed I feel knowing that a large number care little for this matter? I'm often abased by my own ignoramus of the case as is.. We know that the times are changing... Foolishness is celebrated, evil is upheld, wickedness is the new wisdom, hatred is the new style, unforgiveness is the new swag, immorality is the latest trend. It is not fear or pity for my generation that provokes me to write as many have before me. It is rather a common awareness that even so, there would be a rising if a call is given. To those who still believe that sanity isn't foolishness To those who agree that santity isn...

Counting The Years

Been trying to pour this out and not offend anyone in the process But how can I be honest and say what I feel and not prick someone else’s feelings? It was easy to get offended and make up in front of a game as kids than it is now as adults Sometimes, the pressure of growing up makes me wish we never grew at all Destiny must be pursued, success must be attained, life must be fulfilled, death must come and judgment must be faced, all these things only makes living a stress we dressed and painted. But it’s better to feel pain than to never feel at all, so if this makes you hurt know you are living still First, to those that I loved but made the feeling a sting from hells’ kitchen and a meal to kill You lie, steal and cheat, and then you beg me from your knees, tell me you mean it this time You tear many holes in me, the once I can’t repair, but I still love you I don’t really care Second, to those who love me but never see me pay it back, you give your heart...

Special One

Do you remember how sad I once made you? How much you loved me and it seemed a waste? Many things should have crossed your mind? Many thought should have made you cry? Did you ever look up to the stars and wondered who cursed you? Where you ever told to give me up? Did you ask the question of where is the love? Do you remember the songs that filled your heart? What about thoughts of what could have made us special? Reasons you held on and not give me up? Those days I said goodbye because I wanted you gone for someone else to come Did you hate me for making you wait for me to be stupid and return even more stupid? Did you sit up all night wondering why I couldn’t feel or see your sweet heart bleed? Did you curse this world for being unfair and sending me your way? What about days that made us special and the nights I ruined for nothing but my pride? Did ever go to bed wishing the dawn wouldn’t come because you knew I’d be gone with the sun? Were you up all night...

Story Teller

I look around hoping to hear those voices again. I know they come from within but pretending it's someone else had always felt more sane And now, for no reason, my usually noisy head, decides to keep shut I know it's not calm and I can't get what's it's playing at with my heart I dig a hole in my mind and take a telescope with me, if I can't see the stars I might as well get a better view of the dirt. Nothing still, nothing else, nothing less or more than the wicked silence within I see the writings on the wall, they seem strange to me but I know I wrote them all. I'm chained down by this demented quietness in me, but my mind wonders about untamed. I think I'm looking for something in my head, I think I know what it is, I'm just not sure I can think right now. Story of my life, is the story for the gods, after eons with nothing to do, why not play a game with the mortals soul. They play strange music in my head, or my heart or my soul or m...

Confession of a Mad man

Image
I know what it is I'm waiting for, my silence and disappearance is all part of the show for a grand unveiling. But lying in wait here in the shadows have meddled with my mind, I do not remember my own plans but I haven't forgotten anything. I know the grand plan and the finishing, but all my pieces are gone from me, my cold sad mind creeps into the shade, my soul in itself begins to fade, my body dried up and drained, my watery heart tear up in sadness and drowns my organs I've been called many things of late, failure, fool, fraud, fake, freak, false, fowl, faun, fucked up, faded and finished, I never knew there were so many f' words used to demoralise a person I've ran from the law and from the wicked, I've been abused by friends and chastened by foes, frowned at by teachers and forsaking by mentors I never thought all these were part of the process, I never thought that my path would one day drag me down this abyss, I never knew that I'd hate and fear...

Salt Water

I now taste salt water, if i don't hold my breath i'd breathe it in. If I don't breathe I'd die here in vain, but what then would be the gain? I'd die just the same This is why i never wanted to dive in, shouldn't have trusted you with this I was captain of my sinking boat, now i'm drowning in the oceans you made We are starting up just where we left off hoping that I would have learnt to swim Pretty soon you'd be floating away while I sink into the flood I shouldn't have loved you the same, said it past, should have just kept going my way home I tried, you cried and lied, I dived and drowned and died, and you got my heart flooded tonight. I'd never trust you again, we would just stay friends, when this salt and sea goes dry. I still taste salt water, on my lips, felt your hips, been there. But couldn't stop myself from jumping into the ocean You knew just how to get me didn't you? Just a little salt water under your eyes and I...
