Oh! How I miss those days in Naija. Thinking about it makes tears well up in my eyes and bring laughter to my face. I was born in 1988 in Naija but there are some moments i remember and my face lights up. I miss this days:

• The days where Choco Milo was the best chocolate ever.

• The days of Tales by moonlight, speakout, super story, papa ajasco

• Days of Christmas where we all looked forward to wearing our mama- tie- me -for back dresses and mother care socks.

• I miss the days of Christmas when we take food to our neighbors and they gave us money in exchange

• The days of Christmas when we dress up, wear our cute outfits and visit family and friends one after the other

• The days when Christie Ogoli, Shina peters, Onyeka onwenu , funmi Adams sang and brought tears of joy to our faces

• The days when “Nigeria, my beloved country” was the best song ever

• Days when birthday parties were fun. Cake and red jollof rice

• The days when rice was the best food ever

• The days when cousins, neighbors all lived and related well unlike this age where evrione is on their own. Aka OYO

• The days when we went to school , lined up and the headmistress and teachers inspect our nails and uniform and then we march to our classrooms

• The days of “papilo, I know say one day, you go make us proud”

• The days of Mother care socks and socks that has lace round it

• The days of rashidi yekini, Daniel omokachi, Sunday oliseh, peter rufai, etc

• The days of pinafore school uniform

• The days of black and white Tv

• The days where only one person in that neigbourhood had that round phone and neighbors had to come receive calls in one’s house

• The days of sakobi the snake girl, Nneka the pretty serpent, Igodo, Living in bondage, Sharon stone

• The days of Maclean, Tura soap, dudu osin, okin biscuit, ribena, lucozade, tomtom, etc

''The beautiful angel sitting on the left side of her mother is named SHARON OMOLAYO and she was last seen on Monday december 13,2010 when a family member was sent to pick her up in a taxi cab after school hours from Avicenna school in ikeja.

The Innocent 5yr old girl got into the cab which zoomed off and as you read this,she is yet to be found and the uncle who picked her up cannot be reached on his phone which is switched off and he cannot also be traced.

The Principal of the school has since issued a memo on the dangers of allowing a cab to pick up children from school.
Thats by the way side.the parents of this beautiful angel need their child back and will even pay to get her home safely.
Please look at the picture very well,if you spot sharon contact the nearest police and if you have any information leading to her whereabouts please call 08025945672.

Let's help sharon get back safely home.imagine this little girl somewhere crying for mummy and daddy!

Whoever has got her will never know peace for the rest of their lives and if they harm this girl,they will only know pain, my heart bleeds as i write this post.

Please also do take out time to pray for sharon,that her captors be touched by God and that they drop her off from where they picked her.
SHARON MUST BE FOUND AND RETURNED HOME SAFELY, my heart bleeds!

please dedicate your tweets and facebook status to her!''

Have you met Gene in person? She, just like everyone else, cares about what she deserves.
Omoni may deserve it but she didn't win, Gene did.

I disagree. It's impossible to win souls like this. Try am in reality, na swollen face the pastor go carry home.

''For the past 5 years, my wife and I are the only members of our church''.

i love the part where he took off his shirts.

Me too. I also like the part where he raised his shoulders as if to intimidate the boy.
''What's your problem? How can someone come all the way from heaven to die for you and you don't want to give him your life'' '' Can you die on the cross''? ''Don't let me apply the word force'' '' Bros come''.  I'm so dead!  My ribssssssssssssssssssss.

I've viewed this video more than 7 times already and I can't stop laughing.
The pastor is a VERY good actor.

I don't know what agbugbu na achicha is, for certain. . . .Never heard the name before, too. Does it look like spaghetti and it's usually wrapped in leaf and served with yellowish sauce (Forgive my poor description and ignorance)?

iice:
[color=#9900ff]Hmmmm. Ever since secondary school days, me and corn have not been good friends, though i'm curious to know what it tastes like.[/color]

I Love corn a lot - boiled or roasted. But this particular thing ehn, I so don't like it. My mum likes it a lot and says it's nice though.

@Topic : Chinese rice. I'D rather go hungry than taste it. Yuccccccccccccccccccccck!! **Pukes**

Your search should begin from the family circle. . . . . .Search thoroughly and trust no one. 
Good luck and I hope they are found soon.

Something called Ekusu in Bini. It's like moinmoin but made out of corn instead of beans.

Shop with my money and then ask for a refund when I get back to Naija. Cool idea?

Sure!
I'm just waiting for these men to give me money.

I posted the first part of their response but the spambot dealt with it. If interested, you could check my posts to read it.

The only thing they did is hit on ''haters''. People are out to tarnish image but no concrete explanation for the injustice. Shame!
See part of Dele Odufuye's comment below

BON Awards demmed it fit for Omoni Oboli to win an award. So what? Mark of Facebook won the TIME Person of the year, but check his position on the poll out (http:///fdbawZ).

Is that to say, Julian deserves it more than Mark. I don't think so. Does it mean, Gennie deserves it more than Omoni, I don't thinke so either. Does online poll don't count again. Definitely it does. But you cannot base serious award solely on what content internet users put there. That is why not all information on Wikipedia are correct, because you are also free to put anything there. I wonder what Stella will write on wikipedia about BON Awards. I was just wondering.

1 - The link provided to check out Mark's poll result has nothing to do with Mark.
2- Even if Mark didn't win legitimately, must they emulate TIME? Is this even an excuse?

Seun OLOKETUYI
I have read thrice stella post on Genny Nnaji and bon Awards and I can tell who cares to hear the truth that it is full of lies,half truths and misinformations .
Stella igonarantly posted that Geneive nnaji lost 10,000 dollars because she didnt not win the Actress of the year category whereas there was no money attached to that category but a different category which is an AUDIENCE POLL CALLED Sunlight Refreshing and fresh category in which the nominess were Funke Akindele,Mercy Johnson,Ronke oshodi and omoni oboli had the prize tag.

It is important that stella should stop manipulating facts and report issues as it happen,we are the organisers of Bon Awards and stella cant claim to know the rules of the competition than us in a competition we put together.we have come to say that the Jury has 70percent and online and sms accounts for just 30 percent and if you can ask stella why is that it is only Genny that she is advocating for as there were other people who lost the online voting but won the jury confidence.

It is important to let stella know that the vision of Bon AWARDS is to reward excellence and also encourage professionalism and these we will defend with all our might,unlike stella who takes delights in bringing down the stars with so many unconfirmed stories just like these great misinformations and confusion she has tried to cause since monday we are a builder of the industry with so many initiatives that has help the industry,today we are publisbers of the movie directory,best of nollywood magazine and producers of best of nollywood
AWARDS but what can stella be noted for Destroyers of people images and works through misinformation just like these one she has done from the cold in her house in Germany relying on heresay and beer parlour bb messages to cause harm to a good cause.

we continued to stand by our 5 man jury who believed that Omoni was better in the movie Figurine than Geneive in silent scandals,if our jury were wrong like stella wants the world to believe was the all whites jury who voted omoni best actress for her role in Anchor babe also wrong in picking her best actress in Harlem film festival in new york or is she not aware that same day she won best actress in Bon AWARDS she also won best Actress at the Los Angeles film festival .

we will continue to take good criticism but will continue to go Head to Head with people who are all hellbent on destroying Bon AWARDS.
we rest our case

MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE! Omoni Oboli (5.01%) AND Genevie Nnaji (66.76%)

ifyalways:
@Bolded,NO.
But as it is now,If i were her,i wud do the right thing;call a press conference,distance myself from the fraud and declare myself ready to refund half the money  .

Very wise thing to do.
It's now said that, there was no money involved in the award but, as we know, every award won (whether there's a pecuniary reward involved or not) is important as, it takes your status higher. So, the award is important to Gene.
Omoni should, as you've said, call a press conference and distance herself from the fraud.

Hey Wendy, welcome back.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Are you ready? Are your aprons ready? Christmas cooking begins soon.
Meanwhile, I'll go shopping for foodstuffs tomorrow or next.

Husbands, please I need money as soon as possible. Thanks!
Signed,
Wife!

Jeeez!
I sat close to a dude today and OMG! Dude was chewing gum and making the tah tah sound continuously. It was so disturbing and annoying that I felt like going closer to him and giving him a dirty slap since the 'bad look' I was giving him couldn't make him stop or chew better. A man for that matter.

I would have sworn this is the Celebrity section not Music section.

Nellyon:
Not really surprised. Its Nigeria afterall, though i think they should just have given her an award instead of trying to 'act' like they drew from a poll.

My point exactly!
If the mind of the juries had been made up to give Omoni the award, why create a poll? And then insult the intelligence of the public by making the contestant with the least vote the winner?
The juries are just dense. How could they present an A-list actress ( Not just any A-list actress but Genevieve Nnaji ) and Omoni (this is not to insult Omoni as, I also like her) and expect Omoni/any other actress to get even 1 vote, much more win legitimately?  Impossible! 
Come on! They could have found a better way to rig it instead of simply coming out to call the voting public fools, indirectly.

ifyalways:
Na wao.
No long thing,I don't think Gen is fighting for the fame or dough rather the sheer robbery and injustice. 

Gbam!
If I were Gene, I'D be fighting for that too.

kITA TITA:
I disagree that illegalities should be excused away as Nigerian factor. Omoni should return the award and the organisers made to apologise to Nigerian people. We can not continue to accept separate standard because our parents were born in Nigeria.

Actually, with the first line of my previous comment, I wasn't trying to excuse or encourage corruption/unjust manipulation. It's more like an expression of normalcy.
Seriously, is the issue of unfair election and corruption in general a new phenomenon in Nigeria? It's not right but we cannot turn a blind eye to its existence in our society. That is what my comment implied.

I agree that Omoni has some dollars to return- Yes.
For so many reasons, I actually blame the juries. Some important questions I would want to put forward- Can Omoni be blamed at all? How many people would reject the award, even with full knowledge that it isn't theirs? If you were Genevieve, what would you do?

This is not right but then again, it's Nigeria.
May that which belongs to me not be given to someone else without my consent. Amen!
