Posted in: , , , ,

I discovered a few months back that my husband slept with another lady. This was less than 2mths after our second child, and 2 months to our fourth year wedding anniversary.

Fine Lady - Lynxxx Ft Wizkid; Music Video Romance

Posted in: , , , ,

I'm not a big fan of either Lynxxx or Wizkid's music, but I loved this video. OK, let me qualify that. I like Lynxxx. Who can't help but crush on such a fine specimen of bobo nkiti?

But that's not the main reason I liked this video. Who can guess?

The guy has met a lot of the goals he set for himself during the last campaign, he has a vision for the four years he's asking for, and I like that he's such a community/grassroots person.
