Our Economics teacher was nicknamed 'Skintight' cos he was so so so slim. Whenever I remember d name I laugh and laugh. It was so funny at d time. Whenver we had economics, our class monitor would ask wat we had and d whole class would shout "skintight".

Aaaaaaaaaahhhh My Father that keeps covenants, Praize looks gud on you.

Oba mi, oba ogo, oba iye, oyigi yigi, ogbe nu mundia sola, talo dabire oba olodumare... Non dear Lord is like unto thee. Receive my praise for ever n ever dear Lord. I love u Lord.

I earnestly pray for grace to be ready and rapturable when d trumpet sounds, Christ appears in d Cloud of glory and d rapture takes place. Lord help me make it to heaven at last In Jesus Name.

I remember whilst I was preggers with my 1st son, I cldnt eat d food I cooked. Ah my hubby see wahala cos I didn't let him rest always demanding for amala and ewedu, and if he didn't buy it there was trouble ooo. I had to call on one of my sisters' from kaduna to come and cook for me in abuja. Hmmmmm dat was how bad it was. Long throat (oju kokoro) did not let me rest ooo.At times I would just sit alone and just cry so much and then I wld ask myself what is really making me cry. And lest I forget I suffered a gr8 deal from morning sickness to the extent that I was so afraid of brushing my teeth for fear that I would throw-up.

i really love this thread

we first met but didn't speak to each other on our way to NYSC camp on 7th Sept 2005, at sagamu where i had gone to board a bus to camp in Edo State, on getting to okada in edo state we boarded the same vehicle again going to camp and then we had to queue, an already very long one at that, i asked him to help look after my luggage as i had to buy some things and that was it, we didn't see ourselves again until my platoon had a problem, we were punished publicly, as soon as he knew it was my platoon he sent me text messages consoling me.

whenever we came across ourselves in camp, he would always tell me he was praying that we be posted to the same local govt. and that if it eventually happens he'ld be very sure im his missing rib.

Anyway we got posted to the same local govt  and it was then and there he asked me to be his love, i gave him a little tough time until i gave in and we started dating in march 2006, and its been love all thru, i love him very much and he loves me even more than i love him.(coure there have been up and downs)

To cut the long story short we'ld be getting married in march 2008 by God's special grace, my love(dats wat i call him) and i.
I never thot i could find love during my service year.

N.B- i would like to advice that those who are yet to go for their service shouldn't influence it, let God lead and direct u.

lol
it wasn't really my first but i remember vividly what happened.
i was really eager to please my mum and to at least show i could cook, that i told her not to bother but allow me cook jollof rice.
i had put the whole ingrdients in left for the salt, i felt the salt can and it was empty, so i poured what i thought was salt into it not knowing it was sugar.
having tasted the food and not feeling the salt in it i kept adding, not being very satisfied i left it with the thought dat whoever needed more salt would just add.
and a most unfortunate thing then was my dad was adviced by a doctor not to take sugar at all.
men was it bad, that's an understatement.
so u can imagine wat happened for urself

dear God, i pray to be given scholarship for my master program, for my wedding to be a great success come march 2008, to have a 1derful home, to live a veryyyyyyyyyyyyy good life here on earth and above all not to be found wanting when the trumpet shall sound/the rapture shall take place/ when Christ shall appear in the clouds of glory.
AMEN!!! AMEN!!!! AMEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! O.
