I’ve discovered a new love for singing, like I told you a few days ago. Here now is my cover of ABBA’s Slipping Through My Fingers. It is dedicated to my little nieces Adeola Ogunwusi, Jolaade Adesanya and Subomi Olatubosun; and to Liz who first brought the song to my attention about a year ago.
Next up: Frank Sinatra’s “The Way You Look Tonight.”
The most noticeable sign of the new season is the budding of flowers and leaves on trees. They are not all fully green yet. The trees on the bike train on my way to campus have not totally recovered their leaves, but from the grass to a few branches, you can see new signs of life coming forth.
And so inevitably, I got around to recording Frank Sinatra’s The Way You Look Tonight as well, a few days ago. Here’s how it turned out. Enjoy.
Will be offering a 50% off from every money transfer transaction from the United States to every part of the world between now and tomorrow April 7th. Details here.
Whoever needs to take advantage of it should do so, particularly Nigerians in the US hoping to send money to the Red Cross in Jos for the relief efforts of the survivors of the January and March crises.
Hopefully, this will be my final Western Union blog post!
This is the final part of the movie Saworoide which we saw in class today. It’s been long since I saw this movie, and this last part just reminded me of the genius of the award-winning director Tunde Kelani in weaving a very traditional story of culture and responsibility into current political situations in Nigeria at the time. When it came out, it was one of the first breaths of fresh air of political art in the newly democratized Nigeria. Even for its time, it was a bold political statement. No wonder it is still a favourite till today.
I particularly liked the epilogue, featuring the ending song, and the way the actor Chief Faleti sang it: Ọrọ lẹyẹ ngbọ o, ẹyẹ kò déde bà lórùlé o... Priceless ending!
