I am Bukky Shonibare.

I only came across this message today. It is sad, to say the least, that this was posted about me. While I see that judgments have been passed on me already, I'll respond, just for posterity.

First, my mother RESIGNED (my mom latwe corrected me that it's also called 'voluntary retirement') from the NIGERIA AIRFORCE many years ago. My mother had to do this because my dad, then an Airforce man, was retiring and relocating out of the Airforce base in Ikeja where we used to live. My mother was a clerical officer. I was born at the MRS, Ikeja because my dad and we lived on the 'L' block at the Airforce base.

Second, and in line with the first, it is funny how you people believe that because the pension for Nigeria Airways staff was being processed at that time, same was not being done for other institutions. My mom had been processing her pension for years. The harrowing experience she went through, with her arthritis-infected leg, is one I won't forget. It was only coincidental that she got her payment around the same time those of Nigeria Airway was being processed.

Third, I am a Christian. I wonder why there's need to tag me a 'Yoruba Muslim'... what was that supposed to achieve if not furthering the already fragile nature of our peopleness, which has suffered greatly because some have used the divisiveness across ethnicity and religion to achieve their interests.

Fourth, while I have become immune to being called 'APC sponsored' and the likes... but i will only say, that may the God that sees all judge me if i was ever sponsored to stand for the Chibok girls. If I wasn't sponsored, and I'm being tagged so, may God do the needful.

Lastly, I leave you all that have castigated me with a question: why would i want to 'lie' about this?

It is well.

Dear all,

Does anyone have a full architectural design for a 3-bedroom bungalow that he/she doesn't mind sharing?

I figure someone would have a plan that has been used/not being used. I have a very low budget, and I'm itching to relocate my mom closer to where I am. Hence, my quest to save cost as much as I can.

I hope this request is not 'off'.

Thank you.
