Rashin Sanni…

Y’all remember my I shan’t gree post? If you don’t, please read about it HERE.

So something funny happened at that concert, any time I think about it, I get a good laugh and cz I am good peoples, I am sharing with y’all. Before I go into it, who knows who this is in the photo below?  

                                       Guess who?

Did you guess right?

If you did, yes, it is Tasha Cobbs Leonard. One of the Hub’s favorite gospel singers. Remember how excited I was about seeing Chandler Moore in concert and how he, on the other hand was excited to see Tasha Cobbs? 

Well, after the concert began, he eagerly waited for Tasha to be called on stage, that’s how we did not see Ms. Cobbs oh and oga kept asking;

‘Where is Tasha Cobbs na?’

‘When is Tasha Cobbs coming out?’

‘Didn’t you say she was part of this concert?’

Me: abi he’s beginning to think I deceived him about her appearance? 😲

                            No be gadus Tasha name be this?

Well, I kept assuring him that she would come out eventually and at some point, I said maybe she isn’t coming as ‘someone else’ had sang one of her songs. He wasn’t happy at all as he actually looked forward to seeing her in concert. 

Eventually, Tasha Cobbs’ name was mentioned, I wasn’t sure what they said but it sounded like she was being introduced, Hubby jumped up to look but ‘someone else’ came out to sing a Tasha song!

What is going on? Why isn’t she coming out? 

Why aren’t they telling us why Ms. Leonard isn’t here? 

What is supping?

Then ‘someone else’ sang his favorite Tasha song, he was a little heart broken but we enjoyed the concert and that is what matters. I was sure something important must have stopped her from making an appearance and I explained to him that Tim Godfrey wasn’t here also and he’s been a part of the tour. So maybe, just maybe Tasha wasn’t part of this set. 

He made peace with it and we enjoyed our time, enjoyed Tasha’s songs that were sung by ‘someone else’ and the concert came to an end. 

So on our way back to the hotel, I decided to check Tasha’s instagram to see if she posted anything about why she wasn’t in New Orleans as planned. 

Brothers and sisters, ladies and gentlemen, dudes and dudettes… guess what?

Hmmmm so the ‘someone else’ that was singing Tasha’s songs was indeed the Ms. Tasha Cobbs Leonard herself! 

What a wawoooo! 

Listen, this lady was literally right in front of us singing her lungs out and we were saying the ‘someone else’ was singing just as good as her. 

The thing is, the first photo I put up is the ‘picture’ of Tasha Cobbs I have in my head, that is the Tasha I ‘know’ but we both were looking for Tasha, the way we knew her to be; meanwhile she was living her best new life and doing what she does best.

Well, well, we both had a good laugh, tried to replay the whole concert with  this new knowledge but we missed our moment. 

So, as the saying goes  in Hausa, ‘rashin sani ya if darei duhu’. Anyone that can, should help me interpret this, pls.

There you have it! What is the moral of this story? Me sef I do not know but somehow, right now, I have more fitting proverbs in my head but I want you to feel free to drop one in the comment section. 

Ps: Next time you see  me, you might not recognize me either because… fitfam 😎 clean eating, maybe some workout... heavy on the maybe here pls.

Mo What?

Mo what? 

Movember! 

What’s that you ask? 

Let me tell you how I found out about it before I tell you what it is. 

Fair deal, yes?

Ok, so I saw a picture of a friend of mine whom I’ve known to keep beards before beard gang became a thing….and he was sans beards!!

He had shaved it all off! 

My flabber was gasted and I had to ask him pe, whattapun?! 

Let’s call this my friend ‘Yellow’ as we go on, shall we? 

Yellow went ahead to tell me he shaved it off for Movember. 

I was wondering if Movember was a babe that got this bros to shave off beards I know he loved to have and flaunt. But let it not be that I am jumping into conclusions, so I asked Yellow warris Movember? 

And he basically said ‘Google is your friend’ without saying ‘Google is your friend’ cz he sent me a link to check it out for myself. 

So the  Movember movement is actually a thing and it’s been around for a while. Google tells me The Movember Foundation is a global charity that funds and raises awareness for men’s health. With the foundation’s mission being to help men live longer, healthier and happier lives.  

It was founded in 2003 by Adam Garone and 3 others, the purpose of this movement is simple; helping men live happier, healthier and longer lives…

This foundation runs an annual charity event, with a goal to change the face of men’s health by encouraging men (who the charity refers to as Mo Bros to get involved… So what men do during Movember is that they grow a mustache for the month, getting friends, family and colleagues to donate to their effort. 

There’s so much more to this foundation, I tell y’all and I’m here for it. I’m glad someone started this for the men to feel seen and heard and cared for cz there are so many causes for women out there and you barely hear of any for men. So please next time you put up a pink ribbon or something in honor of women, kindly add a ‘stach to include the men in acknowledgment of struggles men face and are rarely spoken of cz as the society says they are men!

Well, well, did you know about this? 

No? 

Well, you’re welcome and thanks to Yellow for sending me to find out about it all by myself instead of just telling me. And if this interests you, please go ahead and read up some more about this cause and see if you will be interested in any of the challenges for the charity events. 

Me sef I’ve plucked the two bia bia I have in support of the movement.  

So which of you Vira’s blog bros are going to become Mo Bros after reading this?

As always, thank you for stopping by.
