| This is her properly. She's lovely. |
| Can you tell that I'm his favourite person in all the world? You can't? Look harder. He's my bestie!! I should feel ashamed, but there is no shame in the madman's game, so there!! |
| Sunshades. I guess it's safe to say that they're trending right? If you haven't got a pair, go to your nearest mallam. |
| Here they are again. How happy they look. I met Jenny at fashion week, and I met Zed-Eye through a mutual friend of ours. |

| Yes, that's the traditional snow show. |

| I also ran into Honey of Honey's cupcakes. She's a new friend that'll soon be an old one. She saw me and she screamed, "Hey!" |
![]() |
| That's him and Teezee from DRB Lasgidi. I can't really tell you know? I think I shall have to carry a tape measure about with me, so I can prove my hypothesis. |
@zedeye was the scarf you wore to the @gidiculturefest an Alexander McQueen one?

| The t-shirt's, the Hausa bad guy t by Allen and Fifth. It's sold on gidimint if you're in Nigeria and on the Allen and Fifth website if you're not. I quite like it. He's certainly a good model for them. I want the t shirt now, and I didn't want it before. I suppose this is the importance of decent imagery. He looks like a Hausa bad guy as well. |

| This is a shot of him and his back up dancers. I'm crying here. I'm laughing so hard that I cannot breathe. I was thoroughly entertained by them on stage. How could I not be? Has anyone ever found a ludicrous stupendous spectacle dull? |
![]() |
| And this a picture of Ozzy Bosco and co rehearsing. |
![]() |
| And this is Ozzy Bosco performing. He's literally the cutest thing. He's just as cute as Ted. I mean he's cute, but at the same time what he's doing isn't all that cute. It might have been cuter if he performed like a 6 year old child. You know? If he stood on stage in a three piece suit and a bow tie and just sang. |

| Here we've got Kamar. He's signed to aristocrat records and he's got a new single out; Darling, Darling. I quite like it. I shall do a bread review of it soon. He's obviously incredibly dapper. That leopard print shirt is dope. |
![]() |
| He looked like a famous person so I took his pisho. When I'm doing this, I don't really think in terms of fame. I'm more keen on my familiarity with them and our chemistry. #justsaying |

| The next time these two girls see me, they'll run far far far away. Errr maw Gerrd. They were not ready for me to get all up in them the way I did. The guru on the left wants to cut me, and the one on the right's looking at me the same way she looks at a dog before she kicks it, but none of that matters because I got the picture!!! |
![]() |
| I love, love, love, love this. It's giving me all kinds of life right now. I'll work on it on photoshop later. It's such a cool image. Am I the only one that sees this? I don't mind if I am. I'm crazy and stuff. Meh. |
![]() |
| And here's Kamar again! Lawd someone cleaned this dude up. I remember him from Project Fame. If he looked like this then, he'd probably have won. |
![]() |
| And again. Even though you can't see his face, I dig it. I think I dig it because you can't see his face. |
![]() |
| He's meant to be funny right? He's like the Nigerian Chris Brown and it's awesome. He made me smile. I really like his trainers. |
![]() |
| Here's another one of him. He's got such a great sense of humour! He's a musician, and I know that I know his name. I mean I'm sure that I know it, but it's escaped me. Famzers help me out! Don't let your fave down!! #famzersforthewin |

| :-). She's selling that bag so well!! She's selling those braids so well. Whoever she is she should quit her job and become... A MARKETER. I'll buy whatever it is that she's selling. |
![]() |
| He was dressed similarly to how I was dressed so I took his picture. He did look disappointed when I told him that the picture was only going on the good old blog, but I didn't give a damn. If you haven't noticed, I like running around with a camera, getting shots of people and meeting them. The satisfaction is in the work. |

| Here, we've got my old friend Denrele Edun telling me hi. He's obviously madder than I am. |
![]() |
| And here he's telling me bye. |

| Aha! Remember Zinna? She was one of the hotties in the picture where everyone was a hottie. She changed her clothes. I didn't think to do this but I should have. For her ingenuity in the face of adversity I proclaim Zinna Anumudu the winner of the Gidi Culture Fest 2014. Zinna when I see you next, the champagne's on you. I am a cheapskate. I am not ashamed. There's no shame in the NYSC HAS NOT PAID MY SALARY FOR THREE MONTHS game. I bet you didn't see that one coming. Boo yah!! |

| How great is this shot? Fun times! Oh my God! Becky, look at her bum. It is so big... I mean, her butt, is just so big. I can't believe it's just so round, it's like out there. I mean - gross. Look! She's just so... black! I like big butts and I cannot lie. You other brothers can't deny that when a girl walks in with an itty bitty waist and a round thing in your face, you get sprung. |

| That's me looking a little bit worse for wear. The hat's from nike, the wife beater's from topman, the shorts are from John Lewis, and the Toms are Toms. Mama Afam didn't like this look very much. She said that I looked like a houseboy. She begged me to change it, but that's what I felt like wearing, so I wore it. I can't change, even if I tried, even if I wanted to. It's a lovely shot of me. Feyi took it. |

| When I saw her, I said to her, "babee lemme serenade you" then I broke into song. You're fresh. It's exciting. You're so exciting to me. You're fresh. It's exciting You're so exciting to me... Can you see the trend here? I love my jams from the eighties. Oldies are always goodies. I love her bag. She looks so faded here. Have I mentioned that I've got name apnea too? I am a bloody piece of work, I need someone to work on me. Wink*wink* nudge* nudge* |
![]() |
| I LOVE THIS GUY!!! The one on right. His performance was the one that got me and Feyi twerking. He gave us the beats that made us to na akpor! I don't quite understand that last sentence myself but I think that was what the song said. It's the beat that go make una It's the beat that go make una. Akpor! Akpor! Akpor! Akpor! I don't know how to akpor but it sounded like a cultural dance move so I went ham. I stuck my hands out in front of me and put them together, then I pelvic thrusted like a rapist. Victory. |

| The host dragged this hunny from our picture of honeyz, but she was so passed it. She was in such a good space. He was trying to make her into a punch line and he would have done, but her non chalance caused the joke to misfire. It was still funny, but we were laughing at the whole situation and not at her accent, or her inability to speak Calabar. I hate it when people do this. So what if I don't speak any Nigerian language, or I have a funky funky, fiddly diddly accent that doesn't know what it's supposed to be? IT. DOES. NOT. MAKE. ME. ANY. LESS. NIGERIAN. The end. |

| Here we've got Isioma Coker. She's one of the lights in my life this one. We don't talk often, so she's a little bit of a distant light. The moment this girl found out that I had a blog, she championed the thing like I was her brother. No instagram picture has gone unliked!! Famzers I command you! Love her! |
![]() |
| Here we've got Folu Storms. Her trousers are great aren't they? There's something about her that makes it seem like she's Zen, and her chakras are balanced. If I ever needed a guru in Lagos, she'd be it. She's got a guru inside of her. She's currently filming a travel television show for Ndani tv. I cannot wait for it to come out. I shall be a stan. |
![]() |
| And here's Eku. I said the same thing I say to her whenever I want a photograph of her, "Sister Eku, Sister Eku, can I take your pisho?" She turned and smiled. |
![]() |
| Then she smiled a little more. ps. note how she's wearing the bag over her breastices. It looks dope no? |
![]() |
| Then the DJ started playing some really good music, and she removed the knapsack from her breastices and started dancing. |
![]() |
| All the while, I was snapping away. She. is. stunning. |
![]() |
| Me and Feyi, obviously up to something. |
