Day 14 in the Dukascopy marathon contest.


The first set of winners just got announced, 12 participants who held on till the end and completed all tasks and obligations. I plan on doing the same and crossing the finish line. My accomplishments for today were:

  • 10,000 steps in an early morning run
  • 3 sets of 25 sit-ups
  • My Cross-fit routine consisting of crunches, hand-stands and press-ups
  • I also stayed off all alcoholic beverages or drinks.
  • I have not visited a fast food in ages, forcing me to pay attention to my meals. It has also saved me some money, if I am being honest with myself.
  • I am taking at least 2 liters of water every day, sometimes more depending on the prevailing weather conditions.
  • I am also eating very healthy, avoiding all packaged foods and foods that contain sodium glutamate
  • Spending an average of an hour and a half on social networks. The apps have been uninstalled from my phone to prevent temptation, and the only access is home or office PC.
  • I have a punk-ish hair style, which I have been wearing since the beginning of the contest
  • And my general appearance has been purely corporate attire to work, I have dropped all my casual wears and decided to stick to either corporate wears or Traditional attires.
It is time to switch things up a notch, I am now changing attires from corporate wears to Traditional Nigerian wears. Today was the first day in a long while, and it felt good. The picture can be seen below;




  • A black short-sleeved kaftan
  • Black shoes
  • Brown Cap


This is a look well-recognized in the Northern part of Nigeria, normally worn by the Hausa or Fulani tribe. It is very common to see men dressed like this in the Nigerian Northern states of Kaduna, Kano, Niger, Borno, Sokoto and Zamafara. Sometimes, it is worn with a babriga, which is a big wrap to cover the inner shirt which could either be long-sleeved or short-sleeved.
