Rubys' Random.

Hello Lovers, Good to be here. I should tell you that I always write with a smile on my face. I will be sharing with you my first major experience in the media world. It might be a long read but I promise it will be an interesting one. Here... Young me, fresh out of school, after being delayed by Nigeria school witches and wizard. (Still being delayed. Its safe to say I've spent six years now.) I was waiting for NYSC so I sat at home rotting away. My godfather decided to throw me into his office. Through that, I got into AIT Programmes department. There, I did nothing other than resume work at 9am, watch TV, go for lunch, and go home when I wish. That was the daily routine but that wasn't what I anticipated. After three months, I left empty headed. Nothing changed. A month later, I decided to try radio and I told him. Radio was more strict. I had to apply. I had no result so I was told to apply for IT. I did that and was given three months. I was placed on shift and the ...

Hi Lover, Its been ages. I missed you. Sincerely, I did miss you from the very bottom of my heart. I was out of base for almost four months. I was still trying to write but the last straw that broke the camels back was having my laptop crash. Jeez!!! It disorganized me. I couldn’t do anything.   The only option available for me was jumping into and around cyber-cafes. I tried once and it wasn’t a nice experience. Their server was low and everything kept disappearing. I just walked out before it got to me. Long story short. I'm back to base. Ive not done anything to the laptop but my files are irrecoverable. I intend to sell it. Better that way for me. For now, I will be writing in trickles and try to settle back to my “oshofree” work. I promise there will be no more disappearing act. I will take proper permission before doing that. Thanks for reading and please leave a comment. Its your right and my joy. Ciao.

Today, I celebrate a great man, Kehinde 'Kenny' Ogungbe. He is the boss of Kennis Music, founded in the year 1998. The company which is known as "Africa's No1 Record Label" has churned out many talk of the town DJs, Artistes and Producers including Sound Sultan, Essence, Sir Shina Peters, 2Face, Joe-El, Late Goldie Harvey, and many others. It is safe to say that a lot of stars today, passed through the molding hands of Kenny Ogungbe who is a star himself. He is also the General Manager of Raypower FM which is Nigerias' No1 Independent Radio. Of course, RayPower can be found in other countries. This man has done so well for the world at large, his country, himself and individuals. In this light, I want to say Happy Belated Birthday to my boss, mentor and friend, Kenny 'keke' Ogungbe and his brother. Enjoy sir. 

 Over-Rated Sex.  Last Sunday, I hanged out with some friends and I was told the story of a friend of theirs. He picked a lady from the road side and they were gisting. The gist led into the lady giving him a blow-job while he was driving. After the pleasure giving experience, the lady requested he pulled over so she can spit out the sperm in her mouth. Of course, he had to. At that point, they were on third mainland bridge, Lagos. He pulled over and the lady dived into the sea with his sperm in her mouth. That was all. Five months after, a budding young and rich business man had been reduced to nothing. There is also "Tales from Gwags". In fellowship then, we had a very brilliant guy who was dating a lady in the fellowship too. We only knew after the guy died. The guy who used to attend lectures religiously stopped attending and was always sleeping during lecture hours. He will only wake up after lecture ends. During weekends, he is very agile. His wei...

Last week, I went to see a family friend. They have a three year old daughter who is so smart and can be very naughty. While i was having a chat with her parents, we noticed *Sammy going in and coming out, rubbing something on her body whenever she entered. The following conversation ensued. Dad- Sammy, what are you rubbing on your body? Sammy- Daddy, why do you want to know? Its my body. Her dad who is very strict became hard on her and made it known through his voice. Daddy- Common, will you answer me? What are you rubbing on your body? Sammy- (now sober) Daddy, it is special cream. Mum- Special cream? Where are you getting it from? Did Aunty Ruby bring any special cream for you? Sammy- No mummy. The one we have at home is not good enough to make my body shine. Dad- That's not my business. Just tell me where you are getting special cream from. Sammy- (no answer) Mum- Come, lemme smell your hand. Sammy- Okay mummy. I need to wash it first. Dad-So it is sp...

I don't do news but i have to do this today. Some notable news agencies and blogs in Nigeria including  http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/09/gunmen-rob-rape-frcn-training-school-students/ are reporting that students were raped in the last attack by robbers at FRCN training school in Shogunle, Lagos. You can read the detailed report on the site i made available. Unfortunately, that is false information. As a present student of the school, I can say with all boldness that truly, we were attacked by robbers at some minutes past 2am on Friday morning, no one was raped. That was the third time we were being attacked by robbers but that was the first time they were breaking into the female hostel. They broke into the first two rooms, collected phones and laptops and an iota of truth comes in where truly, a girl who is a sister to a prominent Lagosian was asked to strip. Obviously, she would have been raped but she was bold enough to dare the robbers by refusing to strip. When she refu...

'Lie down there'....Shawulu screamed. I laid down like a log, worn out and tired. I can't stand this pain again, Dear Lord, please, kill me. Unfortunately, death wouldn't come. I tried all I could but nothing worked. I felt Shawulus heavy body on mine. I turned my face and I saw the short black man. He just released his load into Amina while his friend was preparing to start. We were not only prisoners of war due to a non challant government; we were also sex slaves. 'Jesus'...I screamed as Shawulus' long unkempt finger dug into my flesh. He was pounding fast and he had been on for about three minutes. He did not look like he will climax soon. I was learning to use the 'I don't care' technique so I turned my face and saw a group of girls working. I caught Meinas' face with her already bulging stomach. A stream of tears ran down her face, with her eyes fixed on me. I did not know why she was cryinng. I made a mental note to as...

Hello People, My name is Lola, Lola Taiwo. I am new here and trying to find my way around things. I am a feminist. Did you just shut out? Nah... you should not do that. Wait till you see the type I am. While I try to find my way around, read and tell people about Rubies and Diamonds . I want to take over. Will write on things that affects us generally. Just do me a favour. Drop a comment. Its your right besides. Ciao.

I remember one morning. I went to Federal secretariat to record an episode of Peoples Parliament. My camera "woman" set up her equipments. I started recording and as usual, people were already milling around to get a chance to talk to AIT. Naturally, I could not attend to all of them immediately. All of a sudden, I felt someone slap and pinch my bombom*. Hian!!! I turned in shock sharpaly. The man stood looking at me mischievously. When he realized I did not find it funny, he said..... "All this AIT overused ashawo*, dem don tell you people wey you go answer abi. You don f**k them collect money to show their face on television bah..,mumu" Haba!!! Is life that difficult? I turned and said.."Oga, what's the meaning of all you just did? Are you normal?" People around that noticed what happened were throwing insults and he started apologizing. I just told him to disappear and never appear when I'm around there. Things we face doing ...

I am a Yoruba girl and I have the "H" factor like most other Yoruba people. Mine isn't just as terrible and noticeable as theirs because I have a good command of English.*Head swells. I no dey try form accent. I just pronounce words right. Most times, I get favor when I speak. To avoid the "H" thing, I either avoid words that begin with the letter or I try extra care but its usually when I'm being careful I goof. On one of my shifts, I was on night shift with MAQUIN of RayPower FM,Abuja and after he introduced himself, he had to introduce me. He was like..."There is one special, precious lady in the studio..." and after all the whining and head swelling description, he asked me to introduce myself. Maquin calls me "Lady L" on all his shows so after throwing jabs at Maquin, I was like..."Alright Abuja, its lady HEL in the house"...I added "HE" to the L. Oh Lord!!!...The ground refused to swallow me so I ...

Hello Lovers, Its great to be here today. Like I said in my last post, I've been thinking much about the blog and where I want it to be. One of my plans include exchange of guest posts with other bloggers but someone advised me against that. She said I should carve my own niche first and let my readers know who I am and what I'm about before I start bringing others into my blog. What do you all think about this? As usual, some of "us" will send our comments through pings. Ba wahala. Its just going to be lovely seeing your comments here. A big "SHOUT OUT" to my only and regular comment dropper here for now..."Ruthylicious". I write because I know you will comment. You are "awemazing". In your own words. Other plans for the blog include group writing projects, readers articles and interactions, blog quiz and book reviews much later. Most special plan is what I will call "Pleasure Job Hazards and Mistakes" and ...

I remember Kate today. She was a great friend though we were not too close. You know those friends that you can always call on and they will always answer you. She was such a friend. Soo precious. The age difference was clear and long but she did not care. She was still a friend. Kate was beautiful, had the African woman shape with a slim body so she could get any man she wanted. Anyways, Kate got into a toxic relationship. I remember there was this meeting Kate used to hold with her best friend every Sunday. It was a kind of get together. This guy, I dunno his name (I would have loved to use it)...started by putting her down in front of her best friend who used to manage to fight for her but how do you fight for someone who thinks she's always wrong. After a while, the guy stopped her from being friends with her best friend. He really used to beat her silly then. On one occasion, he beat her and she called *bestie to save her so they became friends again. She ...

Hello lovers.. I'm sorry for my long unannounced absence. I started a course in Lagos and i haven't settled down yet. Things been happening mehn... At the same time, I've been thinking much concerning the blog and i will share with you when i make a choice or when i need you to come in. I should have posted this since as it was in drafts but.... Anyways, here...  ***** Commenting is your right. Do so please. Yesterday, someone-*LADI, called my dad. She complained her landlord was giving her problems and she wants to move out. Dad dropped the call and mum having overheard the conversation said "I don't pity her. She should go back to her husbands house. I was angry in my spirit, body and soul at her comment. Apparently, *Ladi married *Chidi who is my church member. He is a rich guy with chains of business and he behaves nice. After marriage, *Chidi started beating *Ladi. He had a son outside marriage who is in secondary school and two brothers I know...

I thought it was easy. Back to the matter. I will complete last times post. Any poem lover in the house? Did i "hear" somebody wave those hands? There are some poems you just have to love. Ever heard of Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou ? ..... Yeah....Okay.., GREAT!!! I will highlight a stanza of the poem. For those who haven't read it before, i will write it here. Men themselves have wondered What they see in me. They try so much But they can't touch My inner mystery. When I try to show them They say they still can't see. I say, It's in the arch of my back, The sun of my smile, The ride of my breasts, The grace of my style. I'm a woman Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, That's me. Hmm...I know someone has seen enough. We all know there are men who ge...
