Hey, I promise this is the last time I rebrand. But seeing as we live in a society where you can change your brand identity at anytime, this is the new me.

If you have been following up with my blog loosely then you might know that I have been having difficulty having a place to stay in western Nigeria. Me and some friends got together and rented an apartment in Bodija Ashi Ibadan and I have to tell you, if you take away the fact that you have to be on your guard because of the security history if the place, you might not realise that the light here is also not perfect.

After investing $49 in an art course, my phen got unbeleivebly bad and now I struggle to stay relevant on Hive. Kind of reminds you of what the queen of hearts said to Alic in the wonderland when she spoke of her kingdom. To stay in one place you have to keep running.

I am doing just that, but I am also trying my best to run away from the idea that things won't get better, because, they just have to.

The theme

I like the theme for this week because it gave me the opportunity to revisit a song I have sang before with a piano and it is one of my favorite guitar songstitled motherland by Sound Soltan (RIP). I don't think this song is the best fit for the theme but watch me sing it like it is. I also added a song that had a similar progression. 1st 5th 6th 4th one of the most popular progressions.

Here are the Lyrics

how i wish... say... i fit reach u anywhere u de e
u de... eee
far away. ee e...
that one no say make u de bone area o
Motherland e oo (na your area)

Chinedu somebody borrow u ego

remember nnamdi sell him car
so u go go America
all these People wey been de raise u
still de stay for face me i face u
u promise say u no go fashi them
every other month u go de tachi them

Hillary wey u been promise to marry
still de wait, o' boy she don tarry
when she go see u, na inside ovation
u marry oyinbo from another nation.
use mago mago, get dough
now your oyinbo wife don know
next thing u know, she don go report u
Wetin u know, them don deport u

how i wish... say... i fit reach u anywhere u de e
u de... eee
far away. ee e...
that one no say make u de bone area o
Motherland e oo (na your area)

ajo o dabile ee
no matter where u go, make u try come back area o
area o o

na naija aa ah aa
ti ode ba ti le pada wale o
wale o oo uh o

u been say na 1 year
e come turn to 2 years
e don go for seven years
but u de serve eleven years
even when your papa die
plus the tears your mama cry

Bayo for Chicago, them de miss u for okoko o
Biodun for Canada
your mama still de wonder
igba wo lo tơ ma pada o
remember for naija, u get iyawo

ko da bi ile, ko da bi ile, ko da bi ile e, ko da bi ile, ko da bi ile e, ko da bi ile e, ajo o ma da bi ile e

how i wish... say... i fit reach u anywhere u de e
u de... eee

that one no say make u de bone area o
Motherland e oo (na your area)

ajo o dabile ee
no matter where u go, make u try come back area o
area o o

na naija aa ah aa
ti ode ba ti le pada wale o
wale o oo uh o

u say u go call e o
every body wait tire for your call
ote o, why u go like so o
from Germany... to carry coco enter yankee
but then coco burst for your be-le
rest in peace e o
fly away, i come wonder if one day u fit to come e o
your papa land, i understand say u de so far away

u gone a long long way from home, long long way from home, long long way from home, long long way e ei

Here is where I got the lyrics from.
