mine:
using the laundry machine, each time i went, i bring back my clothes! i kept asking myself, which kin thing be this?
3months passed still haven't done my laundry. thank God it's was winter time and i had lots of clothes to change into/shop for new ones. then i met a PG student from Naija. We chatted abt and then I asked him abt the laundry machine. He took me there to show me how, but then he kept telling every Tom, Dick and Harry that came in to do their laundry

"you see, this fine girl is from Africa and am showing her how to use the machine" I felt so embarrassed. why telling all the oyinbo that now? and they all looking at me in a funny way, fine girl can't use the machine


Throughout my 1st year, I always throw away the coins cuz I couldn't understand it. which one is dime, nickel or penny? whenever i'm given a change i will throw it away. i will have some coins but will use the paper money instead. then one day my roommate said, girl you should be saving those coins and then make a deposit at the end of the year, following year i saved and deposited it, it almost reached 100 o

ran down to eat at the cafe but ran out cuz milk and juice too cold and in winter
entered the school bus from dorms to class, took me all around the huge school cuz i didn't know where i was going and shy to ask
share yours, more to come.
the memories lingers

Right there! i love that Philly Cream Cheese with hot bagel

Anyone eat Panaria breakfast? 9ja4eva my friend, tried Panaria?

mekoyo, right there. if you don't have anything to hide, am sure you wouldn't worry abt anyone picking up the phone .

For note, ladies and gentlemen, don't worry o, when he or she starts acting up when you touch the phone, just go online and you will find out who he or she is calling/texting. and for a lil amount (maybe free self), you could get the whole conversation, in soft or hard copy

don't touch his phone, go online .

Very nice pictures.

But I was watching the America Idol give back last week, Bono, Simeon Cowell, Ryan, Randy and the rest went to Africa, Kenya was shown. Oh my goodness  !! I couldn't believe what I saw.
Now with the beautiful picture here, my question is why is motherland Africa like this? Some place 100%  beautiful, some other place 100% dirty and not fit for living.

Choongtin,

Girl, don't feel sad about what is being said here okay. take the good advice to heart and the rest insult, disregard it.
Be happy and don't let keyboarding and harsh comment spoil your day. Cheer up.

choongtin:
Y all have made me feel so bad right now… am crying because u don’t know how it feels for you not to know your dad or have a relationship with him, it feels so bad because am the only one in my little world, I wish my Toby (my brother) was still alive…… thank yo sooo much for everything thank you

Spade, which one come be that now?

@spoilt and everyone,

thank you for your idea sisters

I think those were pictures of few years back, Whitney looks good now. The pictures I saw in Dec last year and early this year were really good. She is getting better.

To avoid problem and unnecessary wahala, just forget it happened. Manage it and save up to buy a better phone at a real shop or shopping complex okay. Don't go fight them, cheer up and be good.

Kellorah 
true that. yard of material is expensive sha, i think those stuffs they wear are cheap as they can find it at oshodi bend down, i'm sure some are okrika mini and armless. those ladies took it to the extreme, imagine using that to school/class abroad 

i saw same during my time at UI, well well well, aristos

i used to have a friend with last name Boluwa,
nice meal there

anyone like Ofin? that seedy stuff that the young seed is boiled, i think it's pumkin seed, so delicious when boiled, yummy

ummm i guess squatting is different from roommate

I don't know how it is in your girl's place. but i have seen opposite roommates, like 2 bedroom apt. they share kitchen and bathroom, some don't share anything, each with their own kitchen and bath. some pple share cuz of the cost of renting alone is too much.

you just have to find out hopefully they are not sharing one bedroom apt.

in ma school, male and female students share apt, i don't really like it but it's common.

she can look for a female to share with.
don't worry, just find out what kind of apt they have, smile.

LOL 

fofila, that's true though, but sha people wan chop now you know. So madam gotta hurry to give them the recipe
do you want the Single ladies to be hungry? do you want marriages to be broken? not to talk of the sworn Bachy (bachelors) hungry no good o 

lol, joke apart sha 

Adeboo, good that you are starting to think well. because much dramas are on the way and will be coming in soon from baby mamas.

stay cheerful

babyosisi you wan kill me with laughter,

true there was Bongos tea and Kettle tea, during the time goody goody was in vogue, as well as Lipton and blueband. yeah bongos tea and kettle tea, that their name. It just disappeared from the market, i heard it was one of those stuffs that was banned from importation. i think like early 80's when i was kiddy, it was still being sold.

the tea normally had to be filtered after making it.
i guess it wasn't that common but we do use it in ma home. the aroma was sooooooooo . i used to like it more than Lipton.



We had a lipton bag in a flask of hot water,sorrounded by little rubber cups of different colors,a loaf of bread nearby,a tin of carnation milk,(blueband margarine and queen of the coast on a good day )

i wonder if those kind lovely breakie is still out there today, days gone by

what do ya all think of Nigeria bread compare to bread around the world? i think i will give thumb up for nig bakeries.

anyone like Akara and Akamu? lol

@ spoilt

you mean any of the Yaky or do you have any specific brand? thanks girl. I have used Yaky before (on a permed hair and it was glued in) it stayed for 3days and then it started tangling, and then coming out. Have you done the sewn one before? how was it? Yes I'm ready to cough out that dough lol as long as it will stay a bit longer.

@ Weslesyan,

you are right. well it's not permed yet (as of today) lol.
I can braid it myself but not that long to handle myself.

@ spoilt

Can you give me name of a good (luscious) weaves and where I can get it?
do you go with glueing or have it sewn in?

thanks sister.

Babyosisi, lol

I'm going to relax my hair o, i have this all natural and had wanted to keep it so till the end of this year just so it rest from permings and relaxer, 5months now but getting tired of it, hehehe

I think am relaxing it soon. can't manage it no more, so hard to comb. braiding is a killer cost. what else can i do with carrying my hair like a guy haha. so jagajaga on my head bo.

You never know what you have until you lost it.

Your own is on the way, Move on for Tomorrow is coming so cheer up.

there was something called Bongos Tea and Kettle Tea, used to be famous when i was a kid, i love it for breakie. Anyone ever heard of it?

some Minty candy i guess.

sisimose:
what is tom -tom?

Oops!!

babasin:
impossible, in 8yrs OBJ did nothing!

The train are simply not in existence!

toshmann,are you implying that I encouraged him  if so, it's like am undergoing what he did all over. I grew up as a military brat,  (just a nickname for military kids). i was a tough girl while growing up, but i refused to slap him or whatever. maybe i was afraid, I didn't fight Dr. U.  so if you're implying that i encouraged him, that's sad and a wrong assumption . I was a girl of 15years by then mind you. well, i didn't fight him, i heard of stories of rape etc,  as young and confused as i was then, i rushed out of his office. I never encouraged him, nor accept his advances. so don't talk as if you are blaming me. I was raised well okay  . You wouldn't understand because you weren't in my shoe. The best I did back then was to leave his office.

All the same, I thank God for a well lived youth unspoilt by men/guys. 

Solomon---why all those cucumbines? where you able to em em all of them? how did you manage? what herbs were you using?

I feel for those who are experiencing such. Thank God all my 2years at UI were full of wonderful memories (except squatters) .

I don't know why this is happening, all this so call bigmen/henchmen, are they that Randy?

ha! no don't let that stop you please. Your experience might be different and fun.
