Amuka and Atole

2010-03-18T16:01:00.004-02:30

Hi guys

cheeeiii its been to long on this blogger sef, I don't even feel guilty again cos all bloggers are on twitter. hehehe well I do feel kinda guilty cos blogger was my first love after facebook

On the 11th was my blogversary woohoo a whole year blogging and its been wonderful I remember my first post and how I used to refresh the post every 5minutes to see if anybody had dropped a comment, and I also used to spam people's comment boxes! cheeei I don try

I'm sure most of you are familiar with the terms Amuka and Atole

Amuka means one that sucks his/her fingers

Atole( one that pees on the bed)

I was an Amuka, I really don't know at what age i started sulking my two fingers yes o two fingers, but at that time it was the best thing that could ever happen to me.

It was like a drug, when I was deep in sleep my mom or dad would come and take it out of my mouth and the fingers would go right back

They tried all the tricks in the book rubbing pepper on the fingers rubbing the fingers with bitterleaf( i died so damn bitter duh) I would just take my toothbrush and tooth paste and brush my fingers to remove the taste of the pepper or the bitterleaf! and the fingers went back in. I was bad abi? (soap and water didnt do justice and it just destroyed the sulking experience)

Mama Tinu resorted to all sorts I would tell your friends in school you sulked but whenever she passed that Corona gate she just forgot.

Finally Mama Tinu was fed up with my sulking and one day decided to tie one of my fingers with that black celotape the rubber one and she said "If you take it off, you would sleep out side beside the maygauard" and you guys know that Mama Tinu don't play! so had the masking tape on for the weekend, she finally took it off and then my finger, was black cos she tied the tape on too tight and blood wasnt flowing to my nail, so the nail fell off and I just stopped sulking. I stopped sulking when I was 10, and then the years after braces!

Atole

The atole in our house was my younger brother he just couldn't stop peeing, and it drove my parents mad especially my dad. and whenever they asked him :why dont you get up in the middle of the night when you feel like peeing and go to the bathroom?" His response was that when he wanted to be he always dreamt that he was in the bathroom, so he just peed!

this went on for a couple of years and trust the masters of punishment Mama and Papa Tinu to come up with the worst

My brother slept on mats, cos the mattress had started to stink and the boy still peed on the floor.

Flogged him but still didn't stop him from peeing

He spent a night in the bathroom, yup he slept there, at least that night he didn't pee hehehe

After a while my parents just gave up and he just stopped peeing!

So were any of you atoles or amukas?? tell your story!

Have a fab week

September 1, 2008

The Area Manager
NEPA
Lagos

Dear Sir,

COMPLAINT ABOUT YOUR SERVICES

I am writing to you with a deep sense of humility and gentleness. I consider this a great opportunity to communicate with an entity as awe-inspiring as yourself. Firstly, I bring greetings to you from residents of my area in Lagos .As a dutiful citizen, I consider this letter as part of my civic responsibilities. Great countries comprise of citizens who are alive totheir responsibilities. As a famous musician once said, "Ask not whatyour country can eat from you but what you can eat from your country."I have benefited immensely from this country; therefore I have decidedto give back.I want to bring to your notice some strange occurrences which have been happening in my area. I want to sadly inform you that in the last 2weeks, electricity has been stable. In other words, we sleep and wake upwith electricity, we go to work and come back and electricity is still running. This is terribly new and I must add DANGEROUS development in the lives of residents of my area. This is something we are not used to.This is too much electricity for us to handle. In the first week ofc onstant electricity, I started acting strangely. I ironed all myclothes because I didn't know when 'light' will be impounded on your orders.

After 2 days, the 'light' was still there. Therefore, I proceeded to re-iron the ironed clothes. My fridge which had not seen '4hours' of constant light for months suddenly started freezing. In order to enjoy the maximum effects of refrigeration, I have decided to be drinking 20 cups of cold water before I go to sleep. Once I finish a cup, I put the bottle back into the fridge. After 10 minutes, the watercools and I drink. I just don't know what to do.

All the Ceiling fans in my house have been switched on alongside my AC.

My deck is playing at a high level. My life is now in state of chaos because of constant'light'.

My TV and VCD player are complaining of high blood pressure, as they have been terribly overworked in the last few weeks.

Half of mylight bulbs have gone on strike to protest their resurrection from blissful death.

All the customers in the beer parlour beside my house are complainingthat the beer is too cold and wants to destroy their teeth.

Even the rats and cockroaches are complaining that human assailants find iteasier to track and exterminate them under electric light than under candlelight

.All the witches and wizards that regularly visited me in my sleep havesuddenly taken flight in the presence of "light". Now I have to review my membership of MFM ( Mountain of Fire and Miracles) since their workhas been done.

Can you imagine what will happen to the membership ofchurches if constant 'light' persists? No more demons meaning No more offerings.

With the above situation not abating, I decided to seek the reason behind this strange situation. This task was made easy for me when Irealized that it was the work of saboteurs. Sabotage is the main reason for anything going wrong / right in our country. Our elections were sabotaged, our president's health is being sabotaged.

Therefore this constant 'light' is the handiwork of saboteurs within your work system. These disgruntled individuals are enemies of progresswho want you to miss your set targets. These enemies want you to score very low on your KPI assessment. I realized this fact when I stumbled on a document showing your Key Performance Indicators for every month.

These are:

1. Explosive growth in the amount of Candle-lit dinners and balcony-bedrooms

2. Massive boom in the sales of Candles, torchlight?s, generators,inverters and lanterns

3. Increased work place productivity due to Employees spending at least16 hours at work because there is no light at home

4. Massive growth of Rock music fan clubs being aided by the endlesssound of generators that are switched on overnight.

5. Volume of human blood being sucked by mosquitoes unchallenged byceiling/standing fans

6. Incidence of heat rashes

7. Large Increase in naming ceremonies: When people have no light athome, what else do they do with their time other than "making babies"

Sir, I strongly feel that the above achievements will not be possible if we keep on having 'light'. The saboteurs in your workplace will make you look stupid and incapable in front of your bosses. The repercussions of this charade would be unbearable. This is why I am writing to you now.As a responsible citizen, if I do not volunteer this information, I know that I will be the one to suffer. The day you realize that I have been enjoying endless light for 2 weeks, you will pay me back with 2 blackmonths. The end will be worse than the beginning, thereof. I am at a crossroad. This is a major dilemma. Should I keep quiet? No I won't.This is because Evil triumphs when Good Men keep silent. Your incompetent staffs have left the light switch on and gone to sleep. I know you will take back all that we have stolen from you but Please remember my house in the day of recompense.Your humble servant

Myself

see why we have to and should Light up Nigeria

have a fantastic weekend people!

My Special Centre Experience

2009-10-06T23:26:00.004-02:30

Hi People
So these past few days I've been having a lot of midterms and all, and errrr because I'm always on twitter I hardly find the time to finish studying and when I get to class I dnt know what happens but I become an air-head!as in there's nada in my head!
I've done soo many external exams JAMB and co and passed soo many notes in class that I should have at least the faintest idea of dubbing!
but lai lai I'm too much of a chicken to even look at another person's work talkless of bringing a piece of paper to class and besides that the fear of being kicked out!and then their is the fear of Mama Tinu being the beginning of wisdom in books!

I remember taking G.C.E exams one time in SS2!
I went to one ajebutter all girls school where they had drilled the consequences of cheating into our heads
So going to write G.C.E in another school, I already had this mindset that everybody's nose was going to be in exam papers boy was I in for the shock of my life!
Got there early and of course the exam papers and the invigilator were no where to be found, apparently he was on Okada to the examination hall
Remember them carrying the green bag that had to be locked with one heavy padlock!
He got there and we all started and after 5mins he said he was going out to eat!
So another person came in and I thought it was like the replacement invigilator was I wrong!!!
The guy just started "Henglish heggzzzamm foorst Number 1 Ha, Number 2 c Number 3 heee number 4 b" yes people he was calling out the answers I didnt even know if I should shade the answers or just continue my own work as a good girl!
I sha continued my work, the lady beside me looked like a mother, was like "Ahn ahn you dnt want the ansaaahs?oya look at my paper and copy the ansaaahs"
JIIIIISSSSSOOOOSSS!!I swear I thought I was hearing double, in school I dare not look into another person's answer sheet and here she was offering me her paper!
I took it o, yes people all my goodygoody left me!at the back of my mind I was like WWJD?(What would Jesus Do?after all my mother was a sunday school teacher)i shaded like it was going out of fashion !kai!
the "invigilator" guy was still calling the answers!,he jumped from 26-35 everybody was like ahn ahn where are the answers from 26-35, he said :that is the impediment" meaning that those are the ones we have to get wrong , cos we couldnt get evrything right
everybody"ok ok sah continue "
number taaarty sissss hee, number 37 haaaaayyy.
until he finished.
then moved to math and did the same!

Time to collect the papers, and they were supposed to be collected according to your number but mine wasn't on the list, I was in the wrong class!!!the class filled with mothers and fathers and people who needed to have it on their resume that they had at least completed O levels, they had all paid to get the answers given to them! also known as Special Centres
I was sha told by the invigilator to "urry hup and go to the right class and submit the paper"!and I did!
After the exams being my mother's first child she was there to pick me up she asked me how the exams were, I didnt know if to tell her the truth or to say they exams were GREAT!
I told her the truth!I told her everything she laughed soo hard,till she was crying,and told me that at least I have seen life outside my school and to see that not everything is going to rosy!!!

Then there was my ultimate experience with JAMB!
I had been given soo many past questions papers by my lesson teacher and those JAMB math were tough!I sha had to do it cos my parents hadn't spoken to me of going anywhere my choices were Unilag,University of Ife and UNIPORT!!or Ahmadu Bello University I cant remember!
off to the exam hall I went, pencils sharpened, math set in tact and all the necessary things
this time I was in the right class no special centre rubbish!
Exams started, this was the period where every Tom, Dick and Harry in Lagos had a fone a Nokia 3310 to be exact!
To many characters in my class
This babe beside me she just kept on getting text after text after text and it was that annonying nokia ringtone sound for texts!
there was another girl that wasnt writing anything, we had english first, she was asked why she wasnt writing she was like ahn that she waiting to chemistry and physics!!
then there was another guy and our invigilator caught him cheating
Invigilator:where is the paper?
Boy:which paper ma?
Slaps the boy
INV;where is the paper?
boy:i dnt have any paper
inv:heeeenns hup lemme saarch u,
she called for a male invigilator
boy puts his hands up
checked his pockets everything
the still didnt find the paper, you won't believe where the paper was, it was in btwn his fingers!!
I havent held laughter like that before,

Tell me about your own cheating or cooperation experiences, did you sneak in Exam Focus, did you write on your thighs, did you chew the paper when you almost got caught!!
Tell me!!!
Have a fab rest of the week
God bless

Sweet Stew and other stories!

2009-07-13T20:56:00.006-02:30

Hey People
Im soo angry at myself
So i decided to be a good samaritan and cook stew for my friend
blended the tomato and tatashe and all the other ish
boiled chicken and meat
it ws looking good if I do say so myself
then time to put the spices!
KNORR went in,pepper went in,curry and thyme flew in as well
so waiting for it to boil
and oh "salt" went in as well
ahn ahn something is missing in this stew poured more "salt" in
my friend to went to taste and she said something was missing so more "salt"
the stew was tasting sweet!!!!!
so i decided to taste the "salt" I was putting in and found out it was sugar!
wait o
the sugar was beside pepper now and all the other condiments that flew in!!!
Imagine if my mother was here!
First she would slap the taste out of my mouth and then slap the black out of me
and then make sure I finish the stew I made!it would be my food for the week!
eat it with rice, with anthing she can think of cos If i ever throw her food away!
hmmmmn I dnt know who would beg for me o!
Have I told you about the time I threw her food away?
So I hated eba when I was younger, and that day I told Aunty Imabong that I wasn't going to eat!
so momsie came back and Aunty Imabong told her that I didnt eat my eba!
trust her she told Imabong to bring out the eba, which by now was as hard as a rock!with cold okro!!!!!
oh well back to the story
so she went into her room and then I threw it in the bin, OMG!
Slaps,came from the left and right,then she spoke in yoruba how some children dont have food, and then she proceeded to tell me that I should eat the food from the bin!yes o and she meant it!!!and there was other ish inside!
sha sha the plumber begged for me and I didnt eat it! then I went to bed without food!
yes o my mother was gangsta!
Sha sha my friend saved her stew she put ugu leaves and crayfish!
Toodles!

A birthday,an Anniversary and lotta stories in between!

2009-07-08T20:14:00.003-02:30

Hey People,

So today is my bestest friends birthday she's 20!!

Ive known her for 9yrs and the way we met was really funny

First week of school when we were all still getting to know each other I dnt know the spirit that entered me but I went to report her to a teacher that she wasn't talking to me and that she was snobbing me and the teacher made her apologize and told her to be my friend and we've been the closest friends ever since. Looking at our pictures from way back she has definately grown into a beautiful young woman! In Js1 she wore glasses that had this blue tint,hehe she had pimples,and wore braces thinking back I dunno why I wanted somebody who looked like this to be my friend but God works in mysterious ways but now she's a little teeny weeny bit finer that me ok let me be fair she's alot finer than me! We've spent children's day in Ikoyi Club, Ive fapped her stuff which constitutes a small fraction of my wadrobe, I walk into her house likes its my own house,I can talk to her about anything and evrything!she's actually the sister that I never had and would always have

So to my Edo muffin I know I haven't been the perfect friend thanks for being there for me, and thanks for keeping up with my bulls*&t and ish and my tears and thank you for your advice,and just for being the heaven sent angel that you are

may the good Lord continue to bless and guide you in all that you do, and may everything you put your heart and hands to be a success in Jesus Name, in case your wondering I'm a prayer warrior!

Ok today is my also parents' wedding anniversary theyve been married for 21 years!!

Ok 9th of July 1988,Mama Tinu woke up and immediatley she put her two left legs on the floor she felt water ahn ahan she woke her maid of honor up and they turned on the lights ,LO AND BEHOLD THEIR ROOM WAS FLOODED AND so was the whole house

Ok i dunno what happend but they go ready for church in the midst of the flood!I saw the pics now!ehen

yeah so they go to the church and they saw it was even more flooded(pardon me im not in school at the moment so I can shell)yes o the church was more flooded and there was no way my mother or anybody else could enter the church

Thank God my father and all hs village peeps who are from Okrika Port Harcourt so trust them, they took hold of the situation mounted benches on top of each other so people could enter the church!ooh and my grandma fell into the water!!!LMAO!!

I'm sure your wondering how my mother entered the church Uncle Donatus carried her in her wedding dress into the church, and they got married

Ofcourse there were many jokes about this wedding

How my dad brought the whole village including the water to Lagos to marry my momsie

and some people used Canoe to go outside and inside the church!heheh

I wasn't at the wedding o, I was chilling somewhere before baba God asked me to go and join them!The next year I was born and 3 yrs later my yamheaded brother was born!finito

Well I do thank God for putting my parents together even though they can be like fire and izze cold warra they've stuck it out in sickness and in health for richer and for poorer, I can't remeber the rest , trust me it hasn't been happily ever after, seen both their fathers die,nursed me to health when I was really sick,dealt with drunk drivers, and bad househelps (another story)and other ish and I hope God would continue to bless them as they continue their lives together!
So to the most wonderful daddie and mommie in this universe happy anniversary!!

have a great weekend people

Igbo people I give una hand!

2009-07-04T23:11:00.010-02:30

Igbo kwenu
Kwenu Ezu
Hi People
Today is a day I would never forget in a long time
First of all Ibo people I give una hand!!!!
I tasted nkwobi and isi ewu today
my first time tasting both
at first I was scared cos I don't like vegetables and I'm a fried or jollof rice with dodo,moin moin and meat thank you kinda person
It was DELICIOOOOUSSSS
ooh and for starters I had goat meat peppersoup!!!
I hope your mouths are watering
The Nkwobi was spaiiizyy according to the waitress, it was in like this traditional bowl,kai I was too damn hungry to take a picture,because chewing gum was my breakfast and lunch,so infact all the worms in my stomach were cursing me and I had to act fast before they started cursing my parents so I took the first spoon!!
which was HEEEEEEEEEAAAVEN, it was reli spaaaizzzy as in the pepper,but mehn I just had to form even though steam was coming out of my ears and my nose was running!!it was too much o!!

ehen back to the nkwobi,it was GOOOD i said that alread abi
ooh I even had dodo sef,
I actually combined the plantain and nkwobi and it came out really well
Ok time to tell you about the isi ewu
Yes I know I'm a real alajeki, eat until you faint but when next would I see this kind of tin!!
so yeah the isi ewu wasnt as spaiizzzy as nkwobi
so I dealt with that one too
mind you there were other people on the table that were sharing the food with me
so I'm really not that bad of an alajeki
then I washed it down with a nice cold bottle of izzzee warrra!!
I have to learn how to make this thing o!!!
I can make stew,jollof rice,fried rice,white rice, I can boil water(a necessity in households mind you),yam fry plantain and I can bake cake!
so I have to add nkwobi and isi ewu to my list
and also eforiro,efoelegusi,okoro,ogbono,afiafere and all those other things
Ok I won't ask why women have to know how to cook all these things
but why do we have to???
Can't we be like the oyinbos and know how to microwave or make
hamburger helper,lasagna,pizza pockets and co
I swear there would be no more fighting in the african household!!
there's even a yoruba movie that I watched, and the morale of the story was that women have to know how to cook and take care of their husbands and my mother sent it to me!
Oh well, right now if I was in a pool I would probably sink, yes sink!!!I'm that full!!
Ok im getting tired, I'm still thinking of that nkwobi o!!
ok then Kachifo (im trying o)

My knight in shining armor

Mehhhhn my brother is growing up o!
He just finished secondary school, I'm sooo proud of him,they a leavers ball and you should have seen my yamhead(brother)looking like a somebody!!I fear o and I started thinking
is this the same boy who when he was 2 and my mom was trying to change him he sprayed pee into her mouth????obviously by mistake and he was laffing like a hyena!hehe
is this the same boy that used to scream like a girl?
is this the same boy that I hid mommie's canes with behind the freezer?
is this the same boy that used to win dancing competition at parties?and was crazy about being like Usher,Genuwine Micheal Jackson(RIP) and anybody else that used to dance like crazy??
is this the same boy that bowed and courtseyd at the same time during a corona valentine concert??it was funny o!
is this the same boy that taught me how to ride a bicycle?
oooh tooo many memories with this boy!!
well people in those pictures he was looking like a MAN!!gosh my baby brother is growing up!
ehen o jare!!!he had earrings in his ear(duh) and his hair had friction(is that how to say it)!!and he was wearing this grey suit with his tie well done and his shirt tucked in!!
I could believe mine eyes!!this was the boy that for 3years in Whitesands school I helped him knot his tie every morning!!and teachers called my mom about his constant untidiness!!!!

A few months ago he asked my parents to increase his pocket money why?because he had a girlfriend at the time!and he had to be bying her stuff!
Oooh and another time he sent my mom a text and he was like that she should pray for him, she was worried so she called him back, and he told her that there was this girl that he liked but she didn't like him so she should tell God to give him a change of heart???so that she can like him!!!
and then the kwensions started "Tinu where is you boyfriend"like as if there is a store where black,tall,handsome,educated,between the ages of 22-27,God fearing,fluent in english,doing his masters,no baby mama drama,with plenty money and soo on are sold?
pls if u know where I can get this fantastic package are sold,CALLL ME O!!!!or send me an email !!!or better still leave ur email addresses in the comment box!!Thanks and God bless 1,000 fold in advance!!
Well I;m happy my brother is growing up, bt kai is too soon now!!!
I'm vey happy and proud of him, and I pray that God would continue to guide and protect him in evrything he does, and the God would drive any golddigging woman that would want to come and finish his money when he grows up in Jesus Name!!!AMEEEN!!!
Oh and Mama Tinu called we spoke for about 30mins and then she sent me a text, I cant sleep want to chat on facebook???and that I should help her upload a pic!!
Mike Zuckerberg biko there should be age restriction on facebook now!dnt u think people are wasting ur time,taking up ur cyberspace, that they check once in four months!

Counting Our Blessings!

2009-06-28T12:53:00.001-02:30

Hey People
Don't you miss going to church in Naij, the Praise and Worship most of the time came me goosebumps and seeing people praise God like thier life depended on it!
Have you ever sat down to count your blessings??

Ok let me help you

You woke up this morning abi?some people didn't see today!Thank God for the breath of life, and no its not your right to wake up every morning!

You got off your bed on your two feet, there are some people that have no legs, Thank God for you feet, even though I have two left legs I still thank God

You are reading this, you have eyes you can see some people are blind Thank God for your eyes!

You are going to post a comment after reading this abi? Thank God for your hands!and thank you for your comment!hehehe

Hopefully everything is alright with your family?thank God for sustaining them

You have family and friends that love and care for you?Thank God for them

You have a roof over your head, you have food to eat,water to drink,you're comfortable right now?Thank God

We often complain about not having this and not having that, but have we ever thought about the people that don't have a quarter of what we have?

Hopefully you haven't been laid off from your job, and you will not be in Jesus name I won't even go into how many people have lost their jobs!Thank God for your job no matter how much you hate it!

You are not in a war torn country! Thank God!

I could go on and on and on, but the hands God gave me are getting tired,and just thinking about my blessings is quiet overwhelming!

There is nothing Ordinary about God, HE IS EXTRA EVERYTHING!!Dnt even let me get started about His Extras...Extraknowledgeable,Extradependable,Extra.... I dnt even know again o!!!

Count your blessings name them one by one

Count your blessings see what God has done

Count your blessings name them one by one and it would surprise you what the Lord has done!

Have a fab week!!!

Hey People,
Those exams ehn!!Showed me pepper, well one of them tho!!
But I'm leaving everything to God o!

Lets go back to the days when MUSIC was MUSIC!
Not all this rubbish BET, MTV,MUCH MUSIC and co are calling music that would require you to use tyelonol after you've listened and the ones that don't even make sense at all!!!
Aren't there some music videos you watch and your like"who gave this one a record deal?"
"how did he or she even get on my television screen sef" and some you just want a refund of ur cable bill if this is what your paying for Ok i kid i kid !
I know I sound like and old woman but I miss the days of good music, when it made sense, not now when people use music to start beef, and insult other people's mothers,fathers,grandmothers,children ok I'll stop but you get my drift!!
Not all the music these days is bad don't get me wrong!but most of them just make me cringe, and leave me speechless
Oh and Naija music makes me sooooo proud to be Nigerian!!!!!Very Proud of Banky W
Pls if u stil haven't read the article you can read it here

Yes that is what I spend my time googling,not the babies but photoblogs, I want to take pictures of people's weddings,engagements and babies and children and nature and I could go on and on and on but I think I would stop here!

I google cameras, and how they work, I look at people's photoblogs and read all the comments and suggestions fellow photgrphers have to offer!

Should I go for it??

Should I stick to my major and then go to school of photgraphy?

some other photoblogs that I visit are
Jide Alakija
Etomi

In case your intrested!

Is this just a fleeeting thought that I should just let go?????

Have a great week!

My darling People,

Thank you alll sooooo much for your comforting words,prayers everthing you guys are indeed the best!
Got this from my darling friend Wura and I just thought I should share and also nothing to blog about, so enjoy,

Rev. Reinhard Bonke came to Okuokoko village in delta state for a convention. He mounted the podium and started preaching the gospel. Barely 10 minutes into the sermon he noticed that the congregation were grumbling and leaving. he called on the nearest man(akpomiemie) and asked him why they were leaving. Akpomiemie answered "sir, dem no understand your big English", Reinhard Bonke thought for a moment and then asked Akpomiemie for assistance. This is what ensued:
Reinhard Bonke: "As it is written in the bible"
Akpomiemie: "As dem yarn for bible side"

Reinhard Bonke: "Jesus entered the boat with his disciples"
Akpomiemie: "Naim Jesus fall inside canoe with him palles"

Reinhard Bonke: "As the boat was sailing there was a great storm"
Akpomiemie: " As the canoe dey remove naim yawa come gas"

Reinhard Bonke: " the storm was so great that it was like a whirl wind"
Akpomiemie: "the yawa na die so tay kasala burst enter"

Reinhard Bonke: " the disciples became so afraid and they shouted master master"
Akpomiemie: "naim liver drop him palles, dem begin hala bros bros"

Reinhard Bonke: " Jesus got up and calmd down the wind"
Akpomiemie: "Naim Jesus rise up come arrange the yawa"

Reinhard Bonke: " He turned to his disciples and said, oh ye men of little faith"
Akpomiemie: Na so Jesus look him palles,shake him head say UNA FALL MY HAND"

REINHARD BONKE: the disciples replied and said what manner of man is this?
Akpomiemie: him palles come hala say sho.. bro J which levels?

I love my mommie she just knows when to make me smile,she sent me a text this morning and it read 'I'm one of those people that want to to know everything about you- like how yo dey?,how has ur day been?, you don chop?,the food sweet?, you beleful?,u drink water?,u don baff?oya go sleep.See I do care!

Uncle Tokunbo

2009-06-06T11:57:00.006-02:30

I don't even know where to start from

He used to come to my house every weekend with my uncle, fun times!

even though I hadn't done my homework I still wanted to be around him!

he was soo much fun to be with!!Uncle Tokunbo

he wasnt Old but we just called him Unlce Tokunbo just as a sign of respect

I remeber when I was contemplating on going for the sean paul concert and you were like you won't go that you would just play his cd in your car!!!LMAO!

Few years later it was time for my uncle's wedding

we were both on the bridal train

he told me Wo Tinu if not for your mommie and that you were like my younger sister you'l' be my girlfriend!!!

and that was when I had a crush on him!! the crush died a few months later!

so many visits back home and I constanltly asked about him

He's fine, he's in London working I was told!

Found him on facebook a few days ago

wanted to add him but had soo many things to do

so I put it off till later

woke up this morning and searched his name

saw a group In passing Memory of Tokunbo

Yup my Uncle Tokunbo

I still can't believe it!!

Read all the things people had to say about him, and he hasn't changed one bit!!

He was just 32!

When people say the good ones die young I believe it!

Life is short, glad to know that he spent his life praising and serving God!

Rest In Peace Uncle Tokunbo till we meet again!

He asked if I had a boyfriend and if I was looking for a boyfriend I said no!he was like oh that can I give him my number and I was like cool and I gave it to him!!!Ok he was driving a nice car- a hummer!it looked nice on the inside o!!!!that was why I gave him m number!I sound like a girl that just came from the village, yes now all the black boys here that would be driving kabu kabu!!so this was just what I needed!!and he was reli cute with a naaize tatoo and akpobi -muscles!heheh

ok First of all I havent been in a relationship in forever and the last fling I had with a guy I got my heart cracked not broken cracked!!! so I just decided to give this a shot!!I would NEVER give a stranger my number but the things good weather does to common sense!!!!!chai!!

Rewind!

before Chayoma and I left home I was looking for my phone so when I got back home, I took down all my boxes and spent a good 2 hours looking for my phone which I found in my bag that I took out!!!!I'm such a scatterbrain!

Ok back to my story, the guy and I sha started texting!

Too Much of a Chicken!

2009-05-28T03:13:00.001-02:30

Hey People

I haven't blogged in a while o!!!

howve u all been!!!

is it just me or is blogsville getting boring!Where is everybody, Kemberly,Solomonsydelle,Bcup and Chari, Bibi,Bsnc(ok she's back)and ooooh BIMBYLADS IS BACK!for those of you that dont know and she has baby!!!

Ok so, I was having this very random thought while having a shower, thats where I do all my thinking!

I know I've given you guys jist about how momsie dealt with my brother an I when we were younger so I was thinking of paying her back I love my mother and all but the thought of giving her a taste of her own medicine cracks me up!

Ok so I was thinking of telling her that I'm not coming to naij this christmas, and these would be my excuses!but I would still go I would just surprise her get my drift??

1) Im getting married to this Arab guy, and I shall send she and daddie (yes o he's included o!cos when she used to brush me he never said anything!) and email which would read

Dear Mommie and Daddie

I want you to know that I would not be coming to Lagos this christmas because I am now married . I am married to Abudulsalami something something. He was the one that helped me pass my math exam and he made me swear that if I passed my math and computer science that I would marry him, I know it was a very stupid thing to do but mommie desperate times calls for desperate measures, and I didnt want you to be disappointed in me. So now he and I are married,he is a wonderful guy and I love him and he loves me!and I'm 3 months pregnant!!

Don't worry mommie Ill will be okay, I would send you my baby's picture and I'm sure he would look so much like his daddie and I would also send you gold as Dubai is just a stone throw away!

Miss and love you loads

Tinu something something

PS Abdul says you must be great parents, because he's married to the perfect wife!

pps TO daddie, can you suggest a Rivers name for him!thank you, would you still continue paying my school fees!We would really appreciate this!

Ok My mother knows me very well and she know that nothing in this word can stop me from coming back home this Christmas not even the snow in Canada!

If my mother actually believed that I was married , militants in the Niger Delta would definitely shift base to look for me and slap the taste out of my mouth!!ehn the apple of my mother's eye and the princess of my village,yup I'm a princess and from now on you guys should refer to me as Princess Tinu, if not I shall not.... I think of what to do to all of you!hehe. My father would just delete the email and go and play golf!!tschewwwwwww!

or my second option was to tell her that I was going to be a monk in Tibet!!but she know me to well that I ChukwuTinuOluwafowosapomi (the Lord shall put money in my pocket!Amen o)shall not cut a strand of my thick,long black,strong and evrybody-wants-their-hair-and-their-daughter's-hair-to-be-like-my-own-hair hair!so newwwp!!

Ok let me be realistic I'm toooooo much of a chicken to do any of the stated above! and she won't even believe!So I just have to go to naij this Christmas!!excccited!!yes I know its 7months away!!my goodness this year is just going Usain Bolts on us o!!!!

your royal highnessy (abi how does the queen of England end her letters?)

Ok so he is from Rivers and my mom is yoruba so he's always complaining about going to yoruba weddings and parties

"you are going to enjoy yourself and celebrate with people yet the would put you under hot canopy and you'll be chasing flies with your hands and be cleaning sweat from your face"LMAO!

(no offence to yoruba people o)but its true sha!

We were jisting about how well Fashola is doing and he was like that his friend's driver asked his friend if he could take time off work and the boss asked him why, and the driver was like that he wants to go pay his taxes, cos he is seeing what taxpayers money can do!!God bless Fashola!!

He pushes me to do things that I havent done before cos "He knows I can do it"

and there's always a reward!!

Always on my side when I have arguements with momsie!

He always makes me laugh!when I vex, he's like ahn Tinu your face looks soo beautiful when you bone!lol

I'm sooooooooo happppppy!

2009-05-20T01:09:00.000-02:30

Ok I'm so sorry for not bloging this past weeek!!
O well I have a testimony,
MATHEMATICS and I aren't really friends and this has been a constant problem throughout my life in school
Ok there is this particular course in my uni Maths 1000 calculus, this is a course that people have taken 5 -6times and has even led people to change their majors!
So I did the course last semester and failed it, cried soooo much when got my result, christmas wasnt as good, ok lemme not lie, I had made up my mind that I wasnt goig to do well, which led to me having a failing grade going into the exam!17/40!
had to repeat the course again!
So I got made up m mind when I came back that nothing was going to distract me from passing this course, didnt go to any parties, didnt socialize with people et al!
Lo and Behold I failed AGAIN
I cant even say its the devil, cos he had nothing to do with it!or maybe he did!
I was sooooooo depresssed, had to do a supplementary exam, didnt study as hard as I should have and started studying last minute
Got my results today and I passed!!
I'm soooo frigging happy my smile is as wide as Canada!!!!!
I kinda felt very stupid for putting this up here but hey God definatley has time for small miracles dosent he?

Dear Mommie,

2009-05-10T02:10:00.000-02:30

Dear Mommie,
I really don't know where to start from because if I list all the things uve done for me!going to take decades
I really really thank God for giving me to you and giving you to me cos I dnt know another any other woman that would take me as I am, with all my crying for no good reason, being rude, being difficult,figthing with my brother and just being strong headed infact just being me

You've moulded me into the woman that I am today and I thank God for that,
you taught me how to be respectfu, how to be corteous and most importantly how to pray(which I seldom do)
Im actually out of words right now but I just want you to know that I really love you and will love you now till the day I die
and one day I hope to be the great mother you've been to me to my own children
Happy mother's day
loads of love and kisses

SUPERMOMS TO THE RESCUE

2009-05-09T05:20:00.000-02:30

Hey People,
Today is the 2nd day of mother's day weekend on my blog,

Why Mothers Cry ...

"Why are you crying?" he asked his mom.

"Because I'm a mother," she told him.

"I don't understand," he said.

His mom just hugged him and said, "You never will!"

Later the little boy asked his father why Mother seemed to cry for no reason.

"All mothers cry for no reason," was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why mothers cry. So he finally put in a call to God and when God got on the phone the man said, "God, why do mothers cry so easily."

God said, "You see son, when I made mothers they had to be special. I made their shoulders strong enough to carry the weight of the world, yet gentle enough to give comfort. I gave them an inner strength to endure childbirth and the rejection that many times come from their children.

"I gave them a hardiness that allows them to keep going when everyone else gives up, and to take care of their families through sickness and fatigue without complaining.

"I gave them the sensitivity to love their children under all circumstances, even when their child has hurt them very badly. This same sensitivity helps them to make a child's boo-boo feel better and helps them share a teenager's anxieties and fears.

"I gave them a tear to shed. It's theirs exclusively to use whenever it's needed. It's their only weakness.

It's a tear for mankind."

A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials, heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine, desert us when troubles thicken around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts. -- Washington Irving

I one day want my kids to say the same thing about me!!and hopefully all your kids would say the same thing about you!
Can't wait to be a mom!

Mothers day Weekend

2009-05-08T00:00:00.001-02:30

Hey People,
Im soo sorry for scaring anybody with my previous post!E MA BINU (dnt be angry) bt it was fun!!!hehehe
Ok since mother's day is around the corner, Ive decided to dedicate this weekend to all mommies! I shall be posting anything and everything about how wonderful mothers are!

M-O-T-H-E-R
"M" is for the million things she gave me,
"O" means only that she's growing old,
"T" is for the tears she shed to save me,
"H" is for her heart of purest gold;
"E" is for her eyes, with love-light shining,
"R" means right, and right she'll always be,
Put them all together, they spell "MOTHER,"
A word that means the world to me.

WHY GOD MADE MOMS
Answers given by 2nd grade school children to the following questions:

Why did God make mothers?
1. She's the only one who knows where the scotch tape is.
2. Mostly to clean the house.
3. To help us out of there when we were getting born.

2. Magic plus super powers and a lot of stirring.
3. God made my Mom just the same like he made me. He just used bigger parts.

What ingredients are mothers made of ?
1. God makes mothers out of clouds and angel hair and everything nice in the world and one dab of mean.
2. They had to get their start from men's bones. Then they mostly use string, I think.

Why did God give you your mother and not some other mom?
1. We're related.

3. They say she used to be nice.

What did mom need to know about dad before she married him?
1. His last name.
2. She had to know his background. Like is he a crook? Does he get drunk on beer?

Why did your mom marry your dad?
1. My dad makes the best spaghetti in the world. And my Mom eats a lot.
2. She got too old to do anything else with him.
3. My grandma says that Mom didn't have her thinking cap on.

Who's the boss at your house?
1 . Mom doesn't w ant to be boss, but she has to because dad's such a goof ball.
2. Mom. You can tell by room inspection. She sees t he stuff under the bed.
3. I guess Mom is, but only because she has a lot more to do than dad.

What's the difference between moms & dads?
1. Moms work at work and work at home and dads just go to work at work.
2. Moms know how to talk to teachers without scaring them.
3. Dads are taller & stronger, but moms have all the real power 'cause that's who you got to ask if you want to sleep over at your friend's.
4. Moms have magic, they make you feel better wit hout medicine.

What does your mom do in her spare time?
1. Mothers don't do spare time.
2. To hear her tell it, she pays bills all day long.

What would it take to make your mom perfect?
1. On the inside she's already perfect. Outside, I th ink some kind of plastic surgery.
2. Diet. You know, her hair. I'd diet, maybe blue.

If you could change one thing about your mom, what would it be?
1.. She has this weird thing about me keeping my room clean. I'd get rid of that.
2. I'd make my mom smarter. Then she would know it was my sister who did it and not me.
3. I would like for her to get rid of those invisible eyes on the back of her head

Infact everyday should be mother's day!

Father, I thank You for the provision of deliverance and healing through the blood of Jesus.

Every handwriting and ordinances against my life, be cancelled by the blood of Jesus.

Every source of evil flow into my life, DIE, in the name of Jesus.

Every arrow of failure at the edge of breakthroughs, GO BACK to your sender, in the name of Jesus.

Every imagery, effigy, symbol, picture and statue representing me in the kingdom of darkness, CATCH FIRE! in the name of Jesus.

Back to reading for my exams!
Academia is a bitch!
Would be back to complete the other story!!!!

In a very lame attempt to change my major this is what I did!!

2009-04-30T22:50:00.004-02:30

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!!!

2009-04-22T19:50:00.000-02:30

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 mechanic

Thou shalt not weigh more than thy refrigerator.

If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried before

Blessed 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.

Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it.

Experience is a wonderful thing. It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Eat well, stay fit, die anyway

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

Hey people
I really do apologize for not replying all the comments on my previous posts!!been mad busy with school!!!

Bata mi a dun ko ko ka

Tin ba kawe mi bata mi a dun ko ko ka

I hope you all remember that song?

So I want my bata to do ko ko ka o!!Infact talking about shoes!

Momsie used to punish me with them o!!! my brother and I got school shoes every school year, this time she made me only me o!repeat the same school shoe and school bag!kai

and everybody was rocking their mudd shoes and spice girls school bag and pencil case!I then decided to spoil the shoe,I even gave it to my brother to practice his football skill, at least when he becomes a footballer he has me to thank!!!hehe

The shoe finally got spoilt, she made me wear it for a week!then she sent me and one lady for her office to buy me new schools from TJ !!!okay okay TEJUOSO!!don't be looking at me with small eye o!If you had seen the shoe ehn!They looked like Christian louboutins for kids!!

Ok Is it me or did those IBO BOYS! that sold stuff in Tejuosho always want you to buy something!!!

You might just hear,

"Aunty , Aunty I have yaa saize!!"

"Bebeh this shoe was made for you, when you shoook it with some naize denim co (jeans)hmmn eazi o"

and this shoe is sooo damn tight!

"Aunty make I just run go awa store go check for anoda one, no go o!"

"No worry as you go dey wear the shoe e go dey ezpand"

Then if you try on the real size that they bought

all the other Ibo boys that have stores around

Diamonds

2009-04-05T12:52:00.003-02:30

Hey People,

Is it just me or when you go to church after not attending for a long time, you feel lighter, like so much load has been taking off your chest??

Well just got back from church and I feel so much better!!!so many things have been bothering me lately, school,money, self esteem etc!and then while we were singing its like, everything just made sense, like I felt a lot better about everything, it was like I was walking on clouds!!!

Today,being Palm Sunday we talked about Jesus entry into Jerusalem,and how he was celebrated by everybody. Lemme not start rambling

Basically what I took from Church today was

GLORY CAN ONLY COME AFTER TRUE OBEDIENCE TO GOD

So basically, we would definitely have to suffer(chale) before we experience Glory, Jesus obeyed God, doing everything he did for us, and also dying for us.that is why he is sitted today at the right hand of God. Just like diamonds, go through the process of being scratched, and bruised and battered, we as humans have to go through that before we experience true Glory!

Can I get an Amen?

I realised before and even more today , that life isn't a bed of roses, and it isn't going to be anytime soon. People would definitely hate you and talk about you, and beittle you just to make you feel worthless remember that your in the process of becoming your own diamond!

things might not always go the way you want them to go,remember that God is in control and that your in the process of becoming you own diamond!!!

your future might be looking the way you want it to look, your in the process of becoming your own diamond

money, health and relationship issues might be bothering you right now, but you are in the process of becoming your own diamond!

hope I made sense!!!

so to all diamonds in the making reading this,its going to take a while, but with time, you will definatley shine( I rhymed)

have a wonderful week

Marriage,Love and Sharing

2009-03-31T19:06:00.005-02:30

Hey people!!

So my friend sent me this and I thought I should share it with you all!!
enjoy!

This is what marriage is really all about . . .. . .
He ordered one hamburger, one order of French fries and one drink. The old man unwrapped the plain hamburger and carefully cut it in half. He placed one half in front of his wife. He then carefully counted out the French fries, dividing them into two piles and neatly placed one pile in front of his wife.
He took a sip of the drink, his wife took a sip and then set the cup down between them. As he began to eat his few bites of hamburger, the people around them kept looking over and whispering. You could tell they were thinking, 'That poor old couple - all they can afford is one meal for the two of them.'
As the man began to eat his fries a young man came to the table. He politely offered to buy another meal for the old couple. The old man said they were just fine - They were used to sharing everything.
The surrounding people noticed the little old lady hadn't eaten a bite. She sat there watching her husband eat and occasionally taking turns sipping the drink.
Again the young man came over and begged them to let him buy another meal for them. This time the old woman said 'No, thank you, we are used to sharing everything.'
As the old man finished and was wiping his face neatly with the napkin, the young man again came over to the little old lady who had yet to eat a single bite of food and asked 'What is it you're waiting for?'
She answered .. . . . ..

'THE TEETH.'

My mother's solutions

2009-03-29T15:47:00.004-02:30

I was soooo naughty when I was younger,noisemaking,troublemaking,being rude to some teachers and trust Mama Tinu to come up with the worst punishments that I never forgot!Pls do not try this on your children(Solomonsydelle) or suggest it to any parents!I still love my mommie no matter what!!!
1)The day I decided to throw her food away in the bin, the ogbono soup that she cooked with all her power, she told me to eat it from the bin, and she meant it, I begged and begged even the plumber begged till she greed o!
2)She has made me sleep on a mat for hitting my brother(the brat)
3)The day I lied she beat me with omorogun(the stick for turning eba) till it broke!
4)One of the worst punishments ,was the day I was REALLY RUDE to a teacher my mother cut my hair, told me to go and tell the bus driver that I was going to school, she enrolled me in Nigerian public school those ones by Osbourne estate, paid my school fees for that day 500 naira! I got flogged the first day of school for noise making!!!chale!!
5)she locked my brother and I in the bathroom for fighting guess what? we made up and started playing with water!
6)there was one week that I ate brown ogi(pap,akamu) for a whole week cos I called her food rubbish!!

7) To make her feel bad I used to write on paper that she hated me and loved my brother more than me!!and she used to feel so bad and come and beg me and quote bible passages about spare the rod and all that ish to me!well I used to do this You hate me note a bit tooo much and she just started ignoring me!!! and tearing the notes!
8)Pick-pin!when u balance Ur body on a finger and one leg and if you changed it a hot slap came with the wind
9) When I was 6 years old I decided to use her red nail polish on my nails she told me
'lo fi obe isu shi kini yen ni sin sin" go and use the knife used to cut yam to take it off! ki a mosa were were
10) she punished us by telling us to write 500 lines, sometimes with the same color of Biro or 3 colours
I will always eat what is given to me
I would never be rude to my elders
11) My brother and I planned to run away together and she found out from the househelp, our punishment was to sit outside with the gate man, we did sit outside played,chased chickens and ate sweets from his stall!
12)I forgot my math textbook in school and I had a test the next day she made me use okada to my friends house in dolphin!!!MY REP!!!!!!thank God nobody saw me
13) there was another time she made me take bus to school one week the driver was right by me though!i cried every single morning on that bus
14)My brother left his shoes,school bag and books in school one day while palying football, her solution was for him to use patanla(the yellow and black nylon bag with stripes) as his school bag, and wear those green dunlop slippers to school!!!!
15)My brother wasn't doing well in his school! her solution take him to a Nigerian public school for a week, buy the uniform, after that they boy became an A student!!!
Pls know that Mama Tinu doesn't do such anymore cos she neither has the time nor the strength and I'm not there anymore!!!hehe
But we are best of friends, and yes she is the best mother that I could have ever asked for cos no one in the world would love me the way my mommie does!
So tell me what was that thing your momma did to you to make you realise that AYE YE O PE MEJI!(there are two sides to this life)

Most Intellectual blogger parraps?

2009-03-25T02:30:00.001-02:30

I told you all that I was going to have a Wole Soyinka post!That is to asserverate that I would be putting to use my grammatical skills realized over the years

Today I shall buncombe about adjourning activities till later dates and disadvantageousness of being a procastinator!

As a scholar in the tertiary academy, procastination is an amigo of mine!!Oh yes she is!

She invariably alludes me to put my work till last minute

Ok ok I tire I can't continue again I don't know how that guy does it!!!U should see how many tabs of dictionary.com I had to open..... Not! well just for a few words

this has to qualify me for most intellectual blogger for next years awards!

Procrastination, I don't even know where to start from, I'm the biggest procastinator I know and I give the excuse that I work better under pressure!!!OK working under pressure doesn't mean that I have to leave everything last minute!

I've tried writing everything I have to do down, so I know what I'm supposed to do but sometimes I don't know how the time manages to go buy sooo fast I think its the Duracell battery for the clock odikwa too strong!! How did I even come up with that excuse???

Ok so the thing is I do what I'm supposed to do but not when its supposed to be done!!

I was supposed to apply for a work permit, renew my study permit, Ive filled the forms and all but I don't know the spirit that is preventing me from going to the post office!

In fact I sweep that Spirit with the Broom of the Holy Ghost!

I remember last year, I applied for my re-entry Visa late, and I didn't get it back till the day I was leaving for Naij!!! Those 6weeks were the worst.

There's no number to call Canadian Immigration to find out the status of your application. Jesus became my bestest friend!!Everyday praying for the immediate release of my visa

After a while, I was like Tinu, bone you are going to have a white Christmas!!!Then my bigheaeded brother went to change his status on facebook saying he wishes I was home!! Just thinking of my family, all the parties, all the jollof rice,fried rice,plantain,gizzard,puff puff,small chops I would miss! and then doing my hair!Is it just me or doing your hair back home is the best thing since sliced bread???

I was back on my praying P!

Passport finally came back!Phewwwwww

Then I realized that I had to get a transit visa to go through Amsterdam which supposedly takes a week to process!!!mind you all the flights were booked till January 1st and I had booked my ticket back home in July(I'm not that bad of a proastinator am i?) To cut the long story short there was a new rule that some citizens of some countries Nigeria included didn't need a schengen transit visa!

Hmmmn at that moment I could be a choir master and a pastor, infact I wanted to open my own church!

Flight was delayed for 9 hours!!! I could'nt even complain cos I thought I was not going home!

I still haven't learnt my lesson I still procastinate!

2009-03-20T04:37:00.000-02:30

Blogging is way more addictive than facebook I tell you!!

I've kept off banana cakes and I CAN WAIT till lent is over so that I can devour all the ones I've given up for 40days and then have some ice cream!! and then drink water after!!

An Ode Wand and Flo

2009-03-17T16:00:00.000-02:30

My family

My cousins

My sisters

I don't know exactly how we met

But hey u're in my lives and I'm glad you are

we've played with so many barbie dolls, had so many parties,

moved to so many houses

attended so many parties in Bola shadipe and in Ilupeju

had a dog called Lica and eaten so much gbegiri

and the numerous sleepovers

I remeber in Alaka when, one of our aunties used to force me to eat Amala!!!

I always dreaded aunty Olabisi not seeing my food finished

you both told me to close my eyes and finish it and before I knew it it was gone!

and when we always went to do our hair we always got the same style done

then my brother came along and well the love and attention I received was divided into 2!!!

Picking you up from fountain school

having the same lesson teachers, using all your old ugo c ugos and all your old notes

we've shared so much that I would never forget

Even though we are miles apart the love is still there

Even though I've made so many friends

I'll always love my Wand and Flo!

Happy birthday

Argggggh!!!!

Ok I'M in my computer science lab and i don't even know what I'm doing something about visual basic and I really and really do not understand!!!(Heaven help me)

ok so I just logged out of my yahoomail account and the mini feed read ' Nigerian Student gets 19 years jail for love scam" ok ok ok!! Is it only me that is geting sick and tired of all the embarassing things we see about Nigerians on the internet?

so what this olori buruku did was to tell a white woman that he was a white British man and that his wife and child had died in a car crash and he needed money. well the white lady was looking for love and he convinced her that he was her Mr Right! so she sent him money and he used the money to buy land a car!!!why do people do this to other people??? And I'm sure when he goes to church his own Halleluyah would be the loudest!!!hissss

I'm angry that they put it up on yahoo.com but the most annoying thing is why does it always have to be Nigerian having something to do with defrauding people why are these people giving us a bad name???? not only is it digraceful but also very embarassing!!

I'm not going to be naive and act like I don't know what is going on back home but why do our people have to go about defrauding people ???? ok i know nobody wants to sell purewater, or be a tailor everybody wants to drive a lovely car but hey those people driving those lovely cars most of them went to school and if you ask them today how they made it, the story might bring you to tears.

Well i know most bloggers won't be swaving people for their money but if u are ehn!!!!somebody else would swave that money that you swaved somebody of 10times fold o!!!!!hmmmn no ti so ti temi o!!!!( i have said my own)

we as Nigerians need to do something about it!!!

Ok back to my computer science lab!

would be back tomorow!!

I used to be a fan of Nigerian movies till i came to obodoyinbo and my love for them was taken from me by Canadian immigration along with my maggi!!!! hiss stupid people
O well my love for them has been restored o! im back to being a Nigerian movie Addict
I just watched Reloaded it was a beautiful movie!It dosen't beat Jenifa ( JENI BABY O JENI BABY O JENIFA!) well it kinda does cos it shows what we as women go through and Jesus take the wheel on what women go trough!phewwwww I won't even lie im actually scared of getting married cos I can see myself doing what Ini Edo did (her part in the movie tho ) I don't feel so confident about myself and then for somebody to come and put me down!O pari ni yen o!!!but.. Chale i said i wasn't going to say anything about the movie abi??okay i'll stop her for now but pls go and watch and be informed.
Apart from my love for Nigerian movies being restored... hold on a minute ( i just realised, see how my hand is flowing freely like a fly over a suya stand but when it iss time to write essay i automatically have writer's block or some my fingers loose their sense of touch) O well! why is it that double standards exist in this world??why is it that we women take so much from our husbands ( see me talking like i have one sha sha u get me) beatings,lying, cheating and then all we do is sit back and leave it to God!okay ive heard about the Virtuous woman in the Bible I
want to be like her and all but at the same time I won't mind having a nice black belt to boast of so when my husband thinks of cheating he would just be like "Wo i dnt want to risk it o cos that Tinu of a wiFe that i have she can pass as a substitute for Jackie Chan any day anytime!!yes o!I want to be just like that!hehehe I hope i'm not chasing any potential husband o!una come back i was just KIDDDDDIIIINGGG!!!
But really why do we all go through this and no im not going to give my 2cents on the Chrianna situation ok i will Pls everybody i mean everybody Oprah,Dr Phil, Nancy Grace abi is it Nancy Drew(no that's the book abi movie) yes everybody sould leave those 2 alone, where u in the car????? are any of you going out with either of them???Mba! so pls let them be, Let them settle their issues themselves and go to court and if they like they should write epistles together and sing as many songs as they wish LEAVE THEM ALONE!!!yes i have ranted and i'm done!!!phewww i feel soo much better now.If i see it one more time on bossip,theybf,mediatakeout or concreteloop I would swim back to my country!!!yes o as a Potaicut( Port Harcourt) girl that i am!
There's nothing like a perfect husband, nothing like a perfect wife,nothing like a perfect marriage, so I had better start getting myself ready, infact we should all be getting ourselves ready for the very bumpy ride MARRIAGE!no I'm not going to talk about marriage or weddingS(I LOVE WEDDINGS and I blame Omosewa) end of story! cos it's big girls talk and when i turn 20 something and somepeople start asking me when they are coming to pick aso-oke and ankara, or when they are coming to eat rice then i would talk about weddings but till then
I'm going to look for a KARATE OR TAEKWANDOO school! I KID I KID!

Have a wonderful weekend
