TOLU'S DIARY - CLASSIC MAN

TUESDAYS 10AM

                                  CLASSIC MAN

Have you heard Jidenna’s hit song ‘Classic man’ ? The Nigerian-American singer said continuously ‘I’m a classic man’. Just as he said in his lyrics, he was truly a classic man; simple, stylish and highly revered.

Classic according to the Oxford dictionary means; of recognized high quality, or simple in style. Wouldn't you like to have a classic man with this attributes?

A classic man is respected; no wonder the statement; ‘you are addressed the way you dress’. It is not only about putting on the most expensive clothes and accessories but looking sharp and fly. Do you know the feeling when a man alights from a black mustang (I’m so in love with Tommy Egan’s ride in the movie series ‘Power’), with a nice look to match a well-tailored outfit? I know you are dripping and want to associate with that kind of man. This is called ‘The Magic of the classic man’. A classic man is not of quality only in his container but also in content. A classic man is responsible, strong (physically, spiritually and emotionally), mature and honorable (if you're thinking other attributes asides from the one listed, you are with me 😉). No wonder a lady claimed our youth leader proposed to her even though when there has been no known contact between the pair. Hmm! He was a classic man.

Mr. Man, do your best to make use of the year in a classy style. Dress well, look clean, get something doing, get more knowledge, keep on with the hustle, be responsible, do your best to save the world and enjoy life till it ends. Remember you only live once, once is enough if you live it well.

 Get me my iPod; let me play ‘classic man’ again😁

See you again diary.
