events x music : the NewsBuka story ... How NewsBuka started TEN YEARS AGO 💥💤😁🌱👽 How tall oaks from little acorns grow

As part of the 10th anniversary celebration, I've written a brief history: Part One, Part Two, and now we have Part Three of Three! 

MUSICAL INTERLUDE <== Yeah, love music on this blog!  

🌷

Annnyway, here we go: 

Nigerian Youth, irrepressible in the face of economic recession, kept creating and connecting till we started hosting end-of-year musical showcases that just grew and grew in popularity.  

Long Live Detty December.  

 

🌷

What else happened at the blog formerly known as Nigeria News Buka?  

Of course, 

 Black Lives Matter.  Palmwine and  More Great Playlists.  

Dance, Dance, Dance.  

I noticed that facebook blocked this blog, maybe because it had been posted too many times for free :-)  It's still blocked.   How could I forget this seismic, global, and ongoing event: CORONAVIRUS.  

Then Nigeria had protests as well.  It's best to not delve into that.  I changed the blog name, and the tag line too.  It used to be "I love my country, I no go lie" - great song - and now it is "serving everybody."  You know what a buka is, right?  A local restaurant, hence "serving" 😁 

All day today, I have looked at hundreds of past posts to create this post and now I feel tired.  Suddenly I'm overwhelmed with the Old Testament Proverbs' conclusion that  All is vanity.  

🌷

Of course there'll be more posts.  

( Let me drink more water. ) 

I look forward to it all.  

( I need to rest. ) 

Let me be more upbeat to close: 

Beauty happens here, excellence happens here, good things are curated here and offered with great cheer - love it, will be back!  

Subscribe, eh.
