Those Occasions and Moi.

 I have/had a healthy dose of occasions to attend in the last two months and I did a rundown of the ones I have been able to go to or will go to and it wasn't impressive at all.

Why?

For some I have good excuses for not being there, and for some I was just being lazy and for the rest….. I don’t know.

My apologies to occasions I didn't /won’t attend (both in arrears and in advance).

Pls don’t hold it against me. The most important thing is that I have you in mind.

So that brings me to my thought for today (actually, I have been thinking about it for some time just getting it out of my head today).

In modern times in the era of Blackberry, social networks and other form of communications, do we really need to be physically present at all occasions? (Don’t bark me down yet o!!).

Apart from the item 7, what is really important is your show of support. (Well, that’s what I think)

We all show support in different ways.

We use celebrants and couples as our display pictures days before the occasion and after sef.

We tag them on their Facebook page and we comment on their status.

We call them and send text messages.

We could show also send our gifts before and after the occasion.

They can see all that themselves.

Really, we can modify things to suit modern technology and reduce stress.

Like, live streaming of the wedding for friends to view.

Then the occasion itself is graced important family members and close friends only.

It doesn't always have to be a noisy affair.

I am indifferent about a large crowd, but I wouldn't opt for it when I have options. I might not do what i have written so far, but if i am in control i would do it.

I really hope you understand I am talking from the point of view of a non-faaji person (not the partying type)

Saving cost in every possible way is what I would gladly opt for. It’s just that the general 9ja mentality makes us do it the usual noisy way. Else peeps would read meanings to it by saying stuffs like they are broke or she is pregnant that’s why it’s a silent affair. Really, whatever the case may be, the life after the ceremony is what is important.

Just my thoughts as usual, feel free to express yours.

Any new gist?

Hmmmmm….. lemme think.
