In my primary school, I was popularly known as Figo and not because I play like him really but I had this fine Portugal jersey then with his name on it plus the number 7. I had good cross from the flank then.

Secondary, was known as vikimi. That name was given to me by my parents. How it got to the knowledge of my friends in school then, I don't know and that's still the name many people knows me with till now

Vikimi my nigaaaa grin

......The Scientist is Here......

I got mine in secondary school. I was so good at science practicals that my teachers stopped addressing me by my name. They always refer to me as "The Scientist". My fellow students picked it up and you know the rest.

Even in the university during my M.Sc. Program, one of my lecturers constantly refered to me as "Mad Scientist". Well, i don't like the lecturer's version of it. I'm not comfortable with the word "mad"

I was called Pretty Boy because of my appearance.

chariisGRACE:
I was given 3 minutes

The reason was because:

Back then in GCDC, PH, we were taking a test of which I was the first to finish the test.

On submitting the answer sheet, I went back to my sit, brought out my notebook from my school bag to check if the answers I gave were correct.

After checking them, on returning the notebook, the teacher saw me, and he asked me to come out and kneel down (he taught that I was returning my 'intel chip') after which 6 strokes landed on my back with instructions that I must rewrite the test.

Lemme quote him.

"Go back to your sit, tear out a sheet of paper. I give you 3 MINUTES to submit..."

From that day...

How about you, how did it start?

I was the biggest girl in my school
Funny enough most of them are bigger and fatter than me
Looking shapeless
While I still maintain my hourglass figure even after childbearing
Because I started watching my weight as a teenager

I was given and called "e-seun" by a larger group while others call me "Computer".

The first name was given me because of my love for electronics and technology in general thereby appending an "e" to my name "Seun".

The second name "Computer" is also as a result of similar situations to the one stated above.

Thanks.�
