Potu,

How have you been? I see you can take and give with the best of them (lol). What happened with the Laptop thing? How did Ivey get them; did he break into your house? I am sorry you lost your Laptops and I pray you recover the data some how. Was the data a lot; and were they confidential? Ndo ya; pele.

I tell my husband the same thing every time. Be careful with these people. I don’t trust them further than I can see them.

As the Ghanaian saying goes, “If a sane person chooses to engage an insane person in argument, an onlooker may not know which of them is insane.”

He is just a nincompoop!

Lord, have mercy! I don’t think Mr. Netotse meant any harm, he was simply writing ‘out of turns.’.  He had a need to show he could spell Ivy, while hiding his English illiteracy under ‘broken English.’

Some time self, English na hm papa language!

what jobless person makes a flight just to teach her "brother" how to make moimoi?

B.T.W. netotse "not saying its not true" should read "not saying it’s not true"

A very intelligent African woman!  His bothers laughed off his predicament with moimoi, but his sisters did not; that is the characteristic of intelligent African women.  For over one year, I cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner, and delivered or had them delivered to my baby sister in her college dorm.  In her school, the meals are billed into the dormitory fees; but she claimed she did not like the food.  I was not ready to have anybody disturb my parents back home that she could not study because she lacked food.

When my baby sister first came to the U.S., I made her redo her entire last year in high school before applying to college, so that she can get use to the American system of education and make some friends.  From that, I knew my sister ate all types of junk food.  So, for her to tell me that she did not like food from a prestigious Ivy League school meant something else was wrong.

She has just started her sophomore year, and finally told me why she would not eat the school’s cafeteria food.  On her first day as a freshman student, she innocuously flirted with an African-American gentleman, who was a dish-boy in the cafeteria.  The poor gentleman misunderstanding the nervous-flirt of an African child pursued her for a relationship too vigorously.  Feeling guilty that she may have unwittingly contributed to her own demise, she stopped going to the cafeteria, and shifted the burden to me.  After more than a year, she discovered the gentleman no longer works at the cafeteria; now she is ready to eat their food.

I knew fully well that something else was behind a girl who eats every junk in the world telling me she did not want cafeteria food.  However, I quietly helped her weather the storm.  Now that the storm has broken, I could steadfastly lecture her.  You don’t hide your unclothedness from the person whose hands you are going to die into.  If something is bothering you, blurt it out anyway that you can; I love you more than life itself and I am more that ready to share your psychic pains.

Potu’s sisters are not running to him, only for the sake of moimoi.  They are coming to find out what else is wrong.  The poor lady is probably thinking, “My baby brother suddenly has this dying yearn for moimoi, something is wrong; and I am going to find out.”  That is an intelligent African woman for you!

Nerrisa:

Help!
Ara ile egba mi o!
Fue-fue me file, peke peke meba.
Jacoboo, se iwo ko ni owa nji abo do o?

Help!

Please, I need help from everyone in the household!
When I go to sleep, it is all dry; but when I wake up, it is all sticky (peke peke; want of better translation)
Jacob, have you been stealing and doing my thing?

ximuskina:

pls, since i got married (jan. 2009) i have been trying to get pregnant but have not.

I empathize with your situation; and I appreciate that you must be going through trying times. It also presents you with an opportunity to work on your physical and mental health. Strive for a balance; eat right, exercise, adequate rest, and peace of mind. If it is becoming too much to handle, join a self-help group in your community: if there are none, start one.

Moimoi taste so good with eko, and I am an excellent cook bubbling with maternal drive.  Best of all, I live in the U.S,   You wanna come visit?

Arlington,

Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones. You threw the first and second stones at Potu. He kept telling you to back off, but you won’t. You insisted on having the last say. Now that he hit you once; look who is whimpering like a baby. If you had the brains to understand his posts, you would have known that Potu is a very intelligent and well educated person. Even his use of words should have been enough to warn you that you were treading dangerously. Go scrape your feelings from the dumps; after that, go adopt a child from Nigeria.

Barren Thing

Let bygones be bygones for ever. Let’s fall in love once again. We both made a promise. That we will never part. Sweet heart forever; you know I’ll wait for you. So, let’s tell the world it’s a new love divine. For ever, and forever, you’ll be mine.
