I tend to blow my ice cream subconsciously with my mouth to stop it from freezing my teeth.

Doesn't make sense since ice cream is a cold food.  I realize and stop. But still happens the next time.

SEFAGO:
There is no way chiogo deserves first page though , just saying- though a lot of crap goes on the first page.

Give it a rest.

lmao!!

^ And who are the better people?

Taa, keep nibbling on Kobe's butt. Chic2shrimp, carry on jare.

LOL it's hotting up in here.

Chic2shrimp, what's ya own? Greener pasture, baby, greener pasture.

Bawo, yeah, I started repping the Celtics after KG and Ray ray joined, no be everybody old like you. We all start from somewhere.

dayokanu:
You mean the current affairs of women? Ashi

Chiogo congratulations I am proud of ya.

BTW I was valedictorian in my KG too

Thanks.
I was Valedictorian in KG too, seriously. We're two of a kind.

H2O2:
No, she's going to give the speech in Tagalog anumpams

H2O2:
I sure did. I was saluting everyone that was promoted to JS1 at the end of the semester.

Lmao.

goodiz:
Some peepz shud be made NL's valedictorians for derailing threads. Well, Chiogo nwanne m, I envy you. Like I'd always said, if this were Chelsea wallops Arsenal 3-1, it'd be on the front page.

LOL thanks.

LOL, Na wa for that site. He broke it down!!!

I agree sha.

I agree with you but that's some essay up there.

Welcome to Nairaland = Dramaland!

SEFAGO:
There is a Chrisland in VGC so thats probably the one. I used to see the loud troublesome, and boisterous kids there. Just saying 

I don't think it's in VGC. If so, they would be going from home not living in school.
There's def. another Chrisland. Na you sabi but then some of those kids are troublesome, not gonna lie.

michelin89:
That's because being skinny these days is in.

In Nigeria being called skinny is not appreciated because na meat dey reign for there.

Yes, I got that all the time in naija
But I don't stress over it.

Even in America, people make that comment and not as a compliment. e.g "you're so skinny girl, you should eat more". It's everywhere, some people just let it affect them more than others. So long as you're eating healthy and not starving yourself or binge-eating, I don't see why people shouldn't accept themselves the way they are.

chic2pimp:
Don't mind those useless twats jare

That was the exact point she was trying to make . Bloody douchebag

p:s  Was going to ask what that village of 300 peeps was all about?

Village of 300 indeed.  
Pheww, didn't even know the population but after that I asked my parents and it's way more than that - 10,000 or something.

But that part was irrelevant because I never said anything about village, she called me just to add that info.

shilling:
Oh my gosh, when I first got here, although I hadn't lived in Nigeria since forever, I am still Nigerian and people would be going, wow, you're English is sooooo good. My algebra professor was shocked that I could speak english and that I knew the pi (3.142) symbol, "Do you have a symbol like that in Africa? Feel free to translate math into your native language to make it easier for you." In my mind, I'm going - woman, I don't even speak my native language 

Hehehe, the questions really never stop. All one can really do is continue to prove them wrong. I don't see how likely it is for someone who NEVER knew English to come to excel in it more than the people born into it.  

chic2pimp:
Primary School right?
What part of lagos do your cousins reside? (not stalking ooo )

Noooo, secondary school. Their Chris land is a boarding school.
But their parents house is in VGC.

michelin89:
Fat/plump/chubby women like to see themselves as thick.

But they don't have:

flat and toned tummy
Toned and defined tighs and legs
Toned, cellulite freed backside
Toned arms.

They are mostly flabby, yet claim they are thick.

True. The word, fat in itself is considered derogatory. So, I guess they avoid it by calling themselves a more desirable word - thick.

But I don't see the difference since skinny people are called skinny.

SEFAGO:
Some element of truth tho

What's that supposed to mean?

chic2pimp:
You are welcome

Also what Branch of Chrisland school do your cousins attend?

I dunno but I know it's in Lagos.

LOL @ thread. Motivational speakers indeed.

^lmao.

Seriously, I was mad at first 'cause the reporter was really nice during the interview. And I'd expect a reporter to know that Nigeria's official language is English.
I think she commented on how good my English was considering how long I've been here. . .and then she went and wrote that.

But after I thought about it, I had to laugh. She just had to give America credit - reason why she specifically called my cell phone a day AFTER the interview asking about my village.  I know the name of my village but not familiar with its population and such as I never lived there. She put village of 300 or some funny crap. lol so basically, this girl came from an uncivilized village in Nigeria and with America's help teaching her the English language, she became the Valedictorian! Yay! That was the whole point

michelin89:
Well done Chiogo.

Thanks.

SEFAGO:
HEHE, dont worry, I am the laziest person in the world- stalking needs a lot of effort. I never like to leave my laptop.

But seriously though cut down on the info you place online. Before we know it you would give us your phone number, then chic2pimp, H2O2, and even becomrich would be calling you asking you for dates so that they can have smart children.

That's just like someone saying they live in Ikeja area of Lagos. HP is actually big, whoever is stalking can't find me.
I'm not even in Boston now. Phone number indeed.

^Who are those? Blaise and Eva?

chic2pimp:
Chiogo should thank me jare.
When this thread was first opened, hardly anybody posted however once my magic hands re opened it, compliments are flooding in like there is no 2morrow

P:S Did someone just mention the name of my primary school? (Chrisland)

Yea, thanks to you I'm popular on Nairaland, eh?

Chrisland for primary school? My cousins go there - High school, boarding.

0hsisi:
Chiogo as your auntie, I am very proud of you.
Keep on reaching for the sky
I'm sure your mommy is very proud.
So you are from Hyde Park area
I used to work in Roslindale/Dedham area
I know how I feel at those award ceremonies to see my kids up there with the best of them.
A mother's proudest moment indeed.
Don't let anything stop you, girl
God's speed

Thanks, aunty
Yup, live in Hyde Park (SEFAGO, don't stalk me)
Few minutes away from Dedham. Used to live in Roslindale too.

bawomolo:
I must not see you buy a bulls jersey or root for the bulls when we are winning multiple championships with wade and rose. walahi

rooting for the cavs, celtic and magic? you can as well root for the hawks. desperado

Buy what jersey?? I laugh in Swahili. I'd sooner buy a Lakers jersey than a Malu's. Insult!

Wade coo Wande nee. And y'all just proved my point, losing to the Wizards. Chai. I'm just kidding, y'know reg. season doesn't matter.
Oh, the hawks are good. I'll root for them too but I'm on "greatness" overload.

chic2pimp:
I don't need to. I'm already tapping that a$$ of hers

You're tapping what a/s/s? You lie!!

naijababe2:
*didnt have the patience to read the post*

ditto.

The Sly:
Oh. . . .Its me wife.
[b]I just thank God that i have been dating her since the day she thought 1+1 = 11
[/b]Now that shes a star now. . . .I just hope she wouldn't leave me.

My husband.
That was you though. 1+1 = 11. Remember? How things change, eh?

SEFAGO:
I went to Oluwole school of hard knock's. Then I graduate with my agbero degree with flying colors top of my class. Now I can jump on any bus in mid movements- no one can shout "Oshodi Oshodi, better than I can "

I can see that.
Hey, you have to be good at something!

SEFAGO:
Ha know that's a private school and its not in lagos. Is it because of the yoruba name hehe, you thought it was a public school.

No, because it's the first name you mentioned. That's what I do - mention the name I'm most familiar with first.

SEFAGO:
Don't worry , a lot of them are on nairaland though. But it depends on whats the fad- during my time it was adesoye, olashore, Atlantic halls, loyola jesuits, vivian fowler and lagoon.

smart naija people seeing how nigerian parents select schools based on how expensive they are and not how good they are set up shop, and before you know it schools like lekki british international school, british international school, dowen college came up.

I was gonna cross out that question, like you would answer. You went to Adesoye!!

H2O2:
i'm probably the nicest person on NL

i couldn't hurt a fly, technically

On nairaland, No. Outside, sometimes.

THE AMAKA:
[color=#ff00cc] it's not trash talk, it stating your opinion, which seems to be a problem with some NLers and they can't accept it.
and sorry i don't rap, i just digest clowns for breakfast.[/color] 

LOL, killa line right there!

@topic, I dunno, I only know Sasha and Kel(?). They're just iight.

H2O2:
You are full of bile and contempt.
Anyway, congratulations on successfully becoming a highest achiever.

ten-over

That's the peroxide I know.

davidylan:
folks pls allow Chiogo to enjoy this moment at least. Save the sarcasm and put downs for later . . . abeg.

If you think its easy you shld have made your own achievement eh.

LOL the thing is almost a year old.
I'm used to people like SEFAGO and H2O2.

H2O2:
I am supposed to be this callous asshoel?

Mostly, yeah.

FL Gators:
She is not, that's why she's been eyeballing ofokaofoki

You're not serious!!!!!!!!!!!!! Insulted!  

Sagamite:
chic2pimp, put your du-rag on, tattoo a tiger on your face and wear your pants half way up your butt, she will be all yours.  

FL Gators:
I think that's how Chic2pimp looks already

ibkaye:
A thug? Urgh chiogo, please tell me you're bluffing

LOL I was kidding!

Sagamite:
Someone like chiogo that is from a good home with a responsible father might also be looking for a bad bad bad thug.  

How did you know? Wow! you're good.

Sagamite:
I should have used the word "average".

Yup, average is the word.

davidylan:
congrats chiogo!

chika98:
How cool! Good for you girl! Hope you got an amazing scholarship out of that then? Good job!

ibkaye:
you are brilliant aren't you, congrats

skfa1:
Congrat my friend chiogo    

Thanks, guys.  

H2O2:
chinch but i didn't insult you  

That's the problem. It's weird when you're being nice.  

SEFAGO:
Thats where i lived, not where i did secondary school. i did secondary school on the mainland and i think it was the best decision my parents made for me. It shaped me into a survivor- lagos public school no be small joke. In between fights with rival schools which involved broken bottles and wooden sticks, as well as studying for math exams, and being bullied by seniors (who consistently too my pocket money until one dey I vex for them and set a trap which got most of them expelled  ), school was crazy.

What school was that?   Was it boarding? My sis went to one. Usually people living in VI send their kids to Chris land, etc.

platinumnk:
I didnt mean you hon, but a lot of people come down on Public school systems, yes its bad but they percieve that a lot of people arent intelligent  
The Gifted and Magnet system is pretty doable.

Hehe, people generally look down on Public schools(at high school level anyway). Even in Naija.
Most times, it's not about the students but the quality of the school system but the stereotypes extend to the students since the school gives you whatever knowledge you have.

SEFAGO for instance, believes the stereotypes from his posts.
