She opened her NYSC letter,and read that she had been posted to Jalingo, Taraba State
"Biko where the hell is that on the map of Nigeria?" She called her driver Pius, who was only 100% efficient when there was food in his stomach "Pius please put on the AC in the car we are going out"
Tonye is a recent graduate from Brown University, honours in Human Resource Management, she was everything a man wanted in a woman she could cook, was smart, respectful, God fearing, could pass as Kim K in a darker color.
Tonye went off to the NYSC office in Surulere, met some officers and bribed her way out of Jalingo, the officers there made her recharge their phones with credit, buy them "tailstte fry shicken', and "orobo pepsi", she also had to pay them for their "hard work".
Took them an hour to get back to the island because of the mad traffic from Lere to VI.
She worked in the Mobil Head Office, the tall building on Ozumba Mbadiwe.
After wading herself through the traffic, she wasn’t pleased when her boss told her there was a meeting and they were going to need files from the 11th floor. The last person she wanted to see that morning was her colleague Mr Abraham, he had just walked into the elevator , a colleague who constantly teased her wanting to marry her and take her to his village, she teased him about how thin he was and how she couldn't put on the ac or the fan when he came to her office so he won't fly away.That was where it stopped.Nothing more than colleagues.He got off on the 6th floor
5 floors left she thought to herself "this elevator is SO damn slow"
She hadn't spoken to her sweetheart Uche in a whole month, she missed him, she met him at a party a few months ago when she had just moved to Naij, he wasn't the best looking guy out there but he was a real sweetheart, he was 6 years older than her and wanted to settle down,he was someone who she could pour out her heart,a good friend a bit overprotective but aren't all men that way she thought
Of all the things in the world, Her wanting to go to grad school was the basis for a huge argument, he didn't want her to go 'cause his mother didn't go to university he didn't want her to challenge him, he even wanted her to stop working he wanted her to be a housewife he wanted her to be just like his mother.
After all the money her father paid and walking to school in the freezing cold he wanted her to be a housewife, God forbid well she wasn't going down without a fight,but nonetheless she still loved him.
He " was in like with her." He loved the fact that she was a virgin and said he was going to wait till their wedding night before they had sex, and she had almost the same qualities as his mother.
Getting to the 11th floor she could hear moaning, she thought she was hallucinating about her forthcoming sex with Uche on their wedding night , but it wasn't, this was real, she had heard this sound before, her roommate in university who always had sex! arrrggghhhh she cringed, hearing other people moan pissed her off!
She went about her business, got the files and decided to leave, but the spirit of amebo had engulfed her, she just had to know who these people were...........
Ok so I want to know how did I do??????
grade over me over 10!!!!
Should I really chnage my major!I enjoyed writing this or maybe its because I'm just frustrated!!!

There is blood flowing in my caffeine stream
Hey People,
Thanks soo much for the birthday wishes and prayers for success in my exams!!God bless all of you
Birthday was the crappiest ever!!spent it studying!but all the facebook messages and calls and texts and blog comments made me happy though.
I'm done exams now and Lord know that I need a miracle, Math the stumbling block in my life wasn't the best!,blanked out for an hour in my accounting exam, and the exam was supposed to be for 2hours!
Let me not even bore you with my exams!
How have you all been???
Loving the African Women blog by the way and every body's views on friendship
As you can tell, I have nothing to blog about!so I'm going to end this here!
Would be back soon hopefully!
I'll leave you with some funny facts bout life,and some funny proverbs enjoy!
Character is what you are.Reputation is what people think you are
A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.Drive carefully It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
A loser is a window washer on the 44th floor who steps back to admire his work.
Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.
There is always one more imbecile than you counted on.
Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you a mechanicThou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.
If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried beforeBlessed are they who can laugh at themselves for they shall never cease to be amused.
My idea of housework is to sweep the room with a glance
Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won’t bother you for weeks.
Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.
All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
Friends may come and go, but enemies accumulate.
By the time you can make ends meet, they move the ends.
A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand.
If you're too open minded, your brains will fall out.
We know exactly where one cow with Mad-cow-disease is located, among the millions and millions of cows in America but we haven’t got a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the Department of Agriculture in charge of immigration.
and funny quotes
The brain is a wonderful organ. It starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office."- Robert Frost"Life is pleasant.
Death is peaceful.It's the transition that's troublesome."-unknown
"Help a man when he is in trouble and he will remember you when he is in trouble again.-unknown"
Whoever said money can't buy happiness, didn't know where to shop."-unknown"
Most people are only alive because it is illegal to shoot them."-unknown
Forgive your enemies but remember their names."-unknown"
Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S relativity."- Albert Einstein
