Story of my life.. ..i hope my depth brings glory overnight.. ..should i wait until my death brings glory overnight? Let a homie hold my mic and watch him pay for my sins. another 1?man,i thought i paid for em' since.

BRIDGE: Dont let em notice you Dont let em notice you Ghosts of d past walk past.dont let em know it's you They try to cover up the fact but you know it's true Riches will make your own brother put a hole in you
VERSE 2: Fellas is all around gimmicks. My profound lyrics ..Win the game before it even starts so they now rig it. Screaming at the ref "when you see a foul give it." Dont let em' hurt a nigga sick from outta town with it. Datz a basketball reference. The Lord d referee..recorded destiny?is what I'm asking all reverends. Is my future engraved in stone.. ..in ancient caves..by slaves with known.. ..powers who know if i'll go to hades. no.. ..way these.. ..crazy..hell hounds gonna make me...bring the rabies home.

Found in a wreckage in d earth.he was frozen.. ..,,bound and the necklace round his neck was a token.. ..as a celestial gift.. ..from an extra terrestrial lesbian chick.

I hear 'em say "there ain't no party like a YES party", intelligent piece. . here's the opportunity to come experience it.
I go way back childhood when the street means war/ the beef is raw/ p'ple gyrating, u could hear d victory songs/ . . confraternities kill wit swords/
and you could get sentenced just for spilling words/ in the memory of the living, the dead still lives on/ yet we only stare out windows cos we chilled in-doors/
lads on those ships, tryin to get 'em hustle quick/ young gurls on road trips tryin to get on porno flicks/
the fun never stops even wen the school starts/ break time our play time till it's noon past/ too young to move cars/ so all we did was push tyres. . ./ like loosed wires, the dull brains still won't spark/
Damn! kids were good with numbers yet not moving figures/ playing 'ten ten' and countin fingers, wat they do at leisure's/
we play hide and seek! toy guns made out of sticks/ paper hats, rubber glasses. . Jeez! we let our fashion speak/ crime was a scene/ but as kids we got the upper hand/ cos the police won't even give a sh!!!t if we shoot with robber bands (rubber bands) /
I'm from the city of the greatest/. .. . home to the majors/ they say Benin we'r ancient/look what history made us/ jumping okadas. . . . . . ring road stays crowded like Lagos/ peeps hustle legal circles, real hustlers go off the radius/
if u meet your houses down . . wait! don't raise my alarms/ cos the town's task force are quick to 'come raid' like Adams!/ (comrade)
Churches in all 7 corners, Hexagon! . . like we worship in clubs/ Man, u must be a fan like you are watching football/ the streets are appalling, who says we don't give a fuck!/ 8 years we depended on Lucky til we ran out of luck. . an unlucky result/ (it wasn't his fault) :D
no longer news, kidnapping was on the headlines/ the niccurs are lions, got peeps fleeing for their deer lives/
caught in the fast life so all we do is move fast/ dudes in love with liquors, everyday we 'smooch bars'/
this is how we do. . highly rated! B-Syde state of mind/ 100% i paid my dues yet my church mind screams '10% pay your tithe'/
I know it's been a while since i last posted sumfin on Tatafo Resource . . . **at least blame that on the daily stress and rapid change of my environment lol . . . blogging was more or less becoming a habit and at some point i had to drop that convention in other to focus on other stuffs . . after all, it's just me experimenting, mining and exploring different areas in search of that particular 'thing' that satisfies my inner intentions.
Anyways, quite a number of stories made the headlines in the past one/two month(s). . . from J-Lo's AMA fall (hehehe . . careful!)to the world cup draws (Naija is in trouble . . . + Group G officially the group of death) and other stuffs i just don't feel like writing about for no reason at all *grins* but hey, most recently is the Big Brother Africa 4 Evolution Winner (Multi Millionaire Kevin). Come to think of it . . . $202,700.00 is nothing close to small oooooo. . . .that's approximately 30,810,400 Naira which is enough to get me the Chairmanship position in my local govt. come 2011 lol .
As much as i am proud of Kevin the Jostified fellow, i still wish i had that kinda sum to blow like a running nose *quoting Loso* . . but never the less, i just wrote a list of what I'll prob'ly do with $200,000 pending if/when i get it cashed.
**7 million naira for Autos . . . not too much though but enough to get me a 2009 Toyota Camry XLE with an Infinity Fx 45 *winks*
**10 million naira for stocks and shares . . . money trading . . not a bad idea
**Another 10 million would prob'ly erect a small comfortable house with classy finishes.
** The other 3 million naira is strictly for miscellaneous expenses . . . including gurls, parties, travelling .. . .. you know . . .that money to blow thingy like cash money milli
uhmmmmm. . . let me see how much i have got left? . . . Shit! . nufin. . Dayummm! . . money no longer holds it's value in Naija oooo . . Imagine, i just spent 30 Million like that even before getting it. May God help us lol. Well, i think I'm done with mine . . . so kindly let me how you're gonna spend yours . . remember. . 30 MILLION NAIRA !
Hi ya’ll, I recently had a little convo with the Elegant, stunning, ever dazzling model and designer Sarah Ofili so I tried to make it official by using the opportunity to chip in a few questions. At first I was a bit cynical if she would grant my request but on the contrary, she turned out to be the nicest person I’ve ever bumped into. This was how the conversation went down;
Welcome to Tatafo Resource (TR) and it's such a great pleasure having you as the very first guest
Thank you, U're welcome.
Let’s get this out of the way, U are of mixed nationality, Nigerian and Hungarian. I'm I right?
Got that right (laughin). My Father, may his soul rest in peace, is from Asaba, Delta State. And my Mum is Hungarian. I grew up in Nigeria, Warri actually, well not the centre of "waffi" lol. My dad worked in Delta Steel Company (D.S.C), so we lived in the company's estate, which also had our nursery and primary school, so u can imagine!
I read you studied in France, or you spoke French, how did that come about?
Yea, I speak just a little though, nothing major. After my sec. school in Nigeria, I went to an all girls boarding school in Benue State... yea I don't know what my folks were thinking, probably keeping me away from the preying eyes of guys, Lol. Anyway, immediately I was done with dat, I left to Badagry French village to study French, in preparation for my admission into a university in France, But before my admission came I was impatient and got into Uni.Jos to start off my course in Psychology, unfortunately 3months after I left for France. I got into the University Of Montpellier, to continue psychology, and then I packed my bags to London to pursue my dream in Fashion. Lol.
Interesting. . . So when did you start modeling and what was the very first step you took?
Modeling was something I bumped into, although it was my dream but at that time it was just a dream. I didn't go out searching for it, I came across a competition for a new modeling agency and photography studio, I entered for fun and viola ! the rest is history.
What are the major challenges you get to encounter
I encounter challenges every day, I am not your stereotypical tall skinny model. I don't have the "African look" neither do I have the "European look" so am always gonna be compared to the girls like that, and many times they don't know how to work with me. I have lost many jobs, that at a point I stopped going for castings. These last 2yrs I've just focused on working on my shoe brand and not so much modeling.
Oh! . . how have you been able to proportionately blend together being a super-model, psychologist, designer and a cosmetologist?
I don't really use the word "cosmetologist", but yes I am a certified beautician from the London School of Beauty And Make-Up. I love dabbling with the art of make-up, its such an artistic power to change the look of a person, like working on a blank canvas. Unfortunately, like psychology I put it aside, I got bored and updating your makeup kit isn't small money, trust me ! but it'll always be my side hobby.
Like I said, right now I’m just focusing on being a designer, developing my skills and expanding my creativity. All the other things I've put aside, in fact they don’t exist to me, it’s just a certificate nothing more, maybe a fall back plan, lol. This yr I was fortunate to get into the London College Of Fashion, to study Footwear and Accessory branding, to get more experience and knowledge in starting my own brand.
Tell me a little bit about your forthcoming brand 'Katona'?
Katona, Itself is my brand name that will hold many other ventures that will come after my first primary goal, which is the Lady's Footwear. I describe my designs/creations as "Fantasy Shoes" coz they are very glamourous, colourful, over the top, affordable high fashion platforms. I believe shoes should be attractive and sexy and appealing to the eyes. A bold statement shoe can change the whole look of an outfit, plus a shoe can make a woman feel a million bucks. shoe lovers knw wat I mean ;) winking... lol.
Ok, why the name Katona, why not Sarahs? lol
Nahhhh not Sarah's... hehehe. Katona is my mother's maiden name, so it’s my Hungarian heritage. I named it after my mother coz all my creative ability and expressions came from her, my mum helped me with many of my art assignments as a child. I was fascinated by her ability to do it all, she even designed and sewed many of my outfits coz I wanted wat i saw in the magazines but there weren't styles like dat for kids so she'll be forced to sew them, lol, my poor mum, she had her hands full coz we are 3 girls. I cant begin to go into all she can do, artistically. I've answered my father’s name my whole life and one day another man's, so its only fair to dedicate something to my mum, after all she's the inspiration.
*Smiles* Being a public figure, how have you been able to 'cope' with the media, fans and haters lol
Wow! first of all, I don't really see myself as a "public figure", and am not trying to sound humble, but I'm a very private person, I just go about my daily stuff etc... I do appreciate the interest and likes in me but it doesn't affect me in anyway. I have read a couple of things written about me but I don't let it get to me, I just laugh and move on, after all I can’t explain myself to everyone, Lol... besides most of it is naija stuff, and I don't live in Nigeria, so it doesn't affect me at all ! I believe everyone should live their lives the best way they can and enjoy every min of it coz we've got only one life, do wat makes u happy, as long as it doesn't hurt someone else.
Your role models
To be honest, I don’t really have "role models". Especially in the kind of industry I'm in, I get inspired everyday by different people. I can’t begin to list, coz it'll be endless! Instead of looking up to someone as a role model, I look at myself and think of how I want to be seen, and the kind of person I am and how I want to be as I get older, and progress in life. No one is perfect after all!
In no particular order, please list your top 5 Nigerian Artists
Hmmm... this is hard, I love music a lot but I don't really have favs, maybe I'll just name naija songs am feeling right now, and u figure it out, okay... I recently came across some dude called "Anogiri", hope I spelt it well, his song oyibo is a catch, love it! plus his dance moves are funny,lol. Also, recently someone played an old school Igbo remake by Flavour ft Mc Loph "Osendi Owendi", think they're cool, in fact other songs by Flavour is very funny n refreshing, high time Igbo dudes took center stage, no offence to anyone ! Also, Sound Sultan, and of course Ikechukwu.
Foreign artists Kanye West, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Melanie Fiona, Keysha Cole, M. J and many more these are just from the top of my head now.
Most memorable moment?
Most memorable moment, Seeing the first samples of my shoe designs made, it was overwhelming.
Hmmm . . . . I can imagine the feeling lol so where do you see yourself in the next 10yrs?
10 yrs is a long time from now dear, I take each day at a time. What i can say though is, Katona will be more than just a shoe brand, and it’ll be an empire! ;D winks
Any parting words for Tatafo Resource?
Don't believe all u read and hear, it might just be another 'tatafo" hahaha, lol. just kiddin... Do something u enjoy doing and have true passion for, it'll bring more than success but happiness and satisfaction. Cheers!
It’s been a pleasure chatting with you, I enjoyed every bit of this. Wishing you the very best and a triple more success in your endeavours especially the impending Katona. Thanks for the time.

The designer of the Playstation 4, Tai Chiem’s concept was to merge transparent materials and minimalistic aesthetics into the PS4 design element. The PS4 has not only had an aesthetic face lift, but its functionality has also had some upheaval!
The PS4 now has; bluetooth integration, plastic/glass backs and middles. LCD screen(s) on both the controller and the console. They’ve continued the classic aesthetic bone structure for the controller plus the PS4 console can also still be turned on it’s side.
Go through the photos below of the new Playstation 4 and tell a comment on what you think about the new concept.
Woke up this morning feeling so tired that i had to spend a couple of minutes consciously lying on my bed. I chilled for about 30mins and was busy listening to some newly shuffled mixtapes on my laptop (Modenine's-09-09-09, AfricanHipHop-The Sequel 09. . . ) Then I heard a ‘freestyle’ that kinda drew my attention. This particular track was from Bigg Splash’s Mixtape; EDO STATE HIP HOP LOVERS VOL. 1
I remember attending the album/mixtape launch in Benin some few months back with a good number of attendees including C-Flo, Cyrus Tha Virus, Osho Alpacino, Anec Dote and a few other artists. From the freestyle session to the album listening to other scheduled activities and it was right there I got a copy of the Mixtape (don’t ask if I bought it lol). Anyways, I noticed nearly all the tracks are ‘radio friendly’ and especially with the inclusion of the club hit ‘Amaka Why’ the mixtape is well balanced.
Enough said, below are two tracks off Gruv Enuff CEO, Bigg Splash (Otas Bazuaye)’s mixtape + Click here for free download
The buzz is still on about Kanye's act at the Mtv video music awards, a lot of mixed reactions and hating already, sh!t names, racism, bleh! . . . but IMO, Kanye was a hundred % correct but somehow he just missed the timing. . . i mean he completely ruined a 19yrs old (Taylor Swift) supposed to be magic moments but really, "How come Beyonce's video was good enough to be Best Video of the year and apparently not good enough to be Best Female Video?".
Anyways, he is still a great producer, classy rapper with a very stylish delivery, i am not tryng to justify or either condemn his act but he should f_king stop crashing awards by whining on someone Else's behalf, it's so not cool for a star of his panache. I guess we forgive 'dude' and blame it on the Henny.
Go Kanye! No Kanye ! ! . . . . A whole Kanye ! ! !
My oh my! did you miss me? (smiles). . . Anways, here are some photos of Chris Brown doing community service (Chris's community service chief tasks will be washing cars, pulling weeds from roadsides and cleaning up graffiti from walls). At this point i'd like to say "Chris, i'm really happy for you, and i'm going to let you finish but Rihanna made the biggest fool outta you . . of all time" lol
