deji47: eh hem. did flow tell anyone he wants to go pro? if u ask dbanj he will tell u, his an entertainer (am guessing flow is one too). when he decides to take writing serious then all these rantings will make sense. till then everyone should hold their peace be u man or woman.

I bow o. Tho i agree sey macjive fvck up, but i still agree wit aunty ishilove. Oga flow, you are goodd but you can still be better. it is not every critic that makes sense, but you shuld xray every critic because there is always an element of truth in them.

flow1759:

Since you ain't full of Yourself. Tell me, if you were in my shoes you would say "Thank you" to that guy's insultive quote?

Haba! E just be like say make person curse ur Papa and u say "Thank You". And don't tell me that is maturity, that is simply s'tupidity.

You said i need some lessons in Humility. Madam, i dey read your thread oh, ur response to critics is not that "HOLY" as you claim.

Am not full of myself, am just trying to be what i am. No pretence. Flow can never be Ishilove and Ishilove can never be Flow. Thats the fact.

Just because my story painted me as being a s'turborn boy and yours painted you as being a calm Lady(that is if it was non fiction) doesn't show that i need a lesson in humility.

The guy mentioned ur username that was why you found ur username in my response. Even if he is ur die hard fan doesn't make him to start beefing me, wetin i do am?

Common Madam, so you expected me to take what that guy said with a pinch of salt? Haba!

Lemme sight this as a case study; GEJ and OBJ, are their leading style the same? You should answer that, that is if you have a little knowledge of Nigerian politics.

Me and you no fit be the same. You wey dey say i need humility, i fit get that Humility pass you for real life oh. Thats the funniest part of the whole thing.

I am myself, both in real life and in Nairalander as a writer. So u better do the same, it will help you. Stop the faking.

We ain't quarelling but i can tell you are more interested in the bad part of someone's writing than in the Brighter side. That goes a long way to show why you hardly read other people's stories onlike the rest of us writers in Nairaland. So tell me now, between you and I who needs Humility more?

THATS ALL.

Strongly seconded by plainmirror. Ishilove ℓ think Ʊ shud watch U̶̲̥̅̊я words b4 Ʊ spit it out. Humility iz a physical virtue/attribute and not abstract.Ʊ dnt xpect it 2 b expressed in writing.Do U̶̲̥̅̊я thing ♍aKƸ̵ flow do e own thing,untop notin stop b arguing and posing.ishilove is ishilove,flow is flow.
Bera use U̶̲̥̅̊я head Ooº°˚ ˚°ºoo .

You're on point, Bro

*BRINGS IN A FULLY LOADED UZI GUN*
''Anyone that talks sh?t here again, concerning tha above 'ISSUE'... U know what will happen o''
>
By the way, I've not been to my own thread cos I'm sad about my Jamb result o.. ''NO BIOMETRIC VERIFICATION'' yet... Until I see my result, maybe dat's when i'll update.. E lè laarí mòógi

Oga flow, wen is the next update na

"Tega you don come back from station?" Man asked as we got home. What i couldn't tell was if Man actually asked that question or his younger brother Igboh.

because Man had told us while we were smoking that Igboh was his best friend and brother.

"u see me for here, u dey ask me weda i don come, no i never come, na my spirit nahim dey ur front so" Tega said what i wanted saying.


That morning was special. Why it was special was because we ate fried rice and Chicken, sponsored and prepared by Pkc.

As Pkc dished the food, my prayer was for either Pkc or Baba Jay not to be paired with me.

I went to the toilet to pee, and when i returned, i found out that everyone was eating with their partners. They were eating in twos. "where my own na" I asked, "come and join us, our plate of rice is meant for three persons" Pkc said beckoning that i come join them.

Guess who his partner was?

Baba jay. The ravenous and gluttonous Baba jay.

Baba jay, Pkc a.k.a let the mountain go down, and Flow.

At that moment, my prayer was for God to give me the speed go beyond five spoons.

"i no dey like dis kin thing oh" I murmured. The other guys laughed at my predicament.

The plate of rice had already gone half way when i took my first spoon.

I thought of the best way to make the ravenous beasts i was eating with slow down, but i couldn't just figure how best to do so.

I even thought of preaching to Pkc. But i thought otherwise, because, where would I begin? Genesis or Revelation?

Baba jay wasn't even chewing the rice, he just swallowed it. My situation could be likened to a rat eating with two Elephants. And to make matters worse, i was famished courtesy of brother Igboh.


"Baba jay take am easy na" I said. That fell on deaf ears, he even increased his pace.

I felt like crying.

"na today wey we dey chop rice and Chicken nahim una wan do me like dis, e no go work for una" I encouraged myself.

"Pkc e no good oh, see as una dey rush" I complained. Pkc replied me with a smile but still continue eating hastily.


Round one was over, Pkc went into the kitchen to dish the second plates. And i tried to figure how i would outsmart the two Elephants i was eating with.

An idea dropped. An outlandish idea.

When I was much younger, say about 15, when eating rice or any other food from the same plate with my seniors, I would put on a round neck T-shirt.

The T-shirt must never be white, and i always wore a singlet inside. The singlet too must never be white. Black was perfect. Infact i had a special black singlet and a black T-shirt for this mischief.

The mischief was to notice when the person I was eating with looks away. When the person looks away, I quickly drag one of the pieces of meat, open the neck of the T-shirt I wore, and throw the meat inside. It would hurt, but like they say: "no pain, no gain". And when the person asked where the other meat was, I would deny ever taking the meat, afterall he/she never saw me munched any meat. I would also blame it on the person that dished the food for not dishing the complete pieces of meat. (i don dey teach una bad thing abi?).

I must warn, never you try this with Ogbono soup.

The day i tried it with Ogbono soup, i met my waterloo.

Saying the meat i stole from the hot Ogbono soup peeled off my skin is an understatement, my intestine almost came out through the opening the meat created in my stomach. I was caught when i screemed as a result of the unbearable pain.


"wetin make you dey wear my sweater na?" Tega queried as he saw me putting on his black sweater.

"i wan comot, if we chop finish i go comot" I replied.

"but heat dey na, why you go wear black sweater for this hot weather?" Brainbox said.

"guy e be like say i no well oh, cold dey catch me when heat dey catch una" I replied.

They never knew i was up to mischief.

Mischief to outsmart the two ravenous devils i was eating with.

Guy, if Ishilove is boring, then Chimanda and Achebe are boring too.

Flow my padi of life continue gist jare.

Ishilove: I didn't want to say more initially, but I'll just add one last thing. Some folks are saying I should have put some heat on macjive for his harsh words. Well the simple truth is I chose not to because If y'all think macjive was harsh, wait until you meet a professional critic. If he doesn't like your work, he'll rip it to shreds without care for delicacy. I've been there so I know what I'm talking about. By the time the guy was done with me, I was quaking all over. When flow goes pro, he will meet folks who will say harsher things than macjive so the whole point of my comments was just to let the dude know that there can never be a time when EVERYONE will like your style. They will express that dislike in tones that you may not find palatable, so start growing a thick skin and bigger ears.

I got no issues with flow and I wish him the best.

I got no issues with you also. And i wish you the best too.

I too didn't want to say anymore initially, but I will just add one more thing.

That thing is that you are proud.

Must you tell everyone that you went to a professional critic? Make dem clap for u na.

I might have even gone to Wole Soyinka himself to go through my work, but must i say it out for all to hear.

Good knows that there is no critic that can make me cry, even if na Wole Soyinka sef. Instead i will smile at such critic and go back to the drawing board.



Yes, i want to take writing seriously albeit i studied the wrong course in the University courtesy of JAMB, but that wouldn't make me start living my life on the fast lane of Negativity because i am being criticized.

Do you know, u have never pointed out the mistakes in my writing for me to learn from, all u have been saying is that i should accept corrections. Where are the corrections?

I studied Physics for pete's sake, and not English. And the last time i checked, Physics is purely science and English is Art. You might be a Masters holder in English, good and fine, but don't be a Monopoly of Knowledge. Let us learn from you Mrs Grammarian.

Have you ever corrected me Mrs Grammarian? You are practically living like an Island.


Am not trying to take you to the cleaners, i am just telling you what i see in you.


PS: To the fans of Flow and Ishilove, this is not beef, it is more of literature Vendetta.


STILL I FLOW.

Always flowin

Rap maestro: *Oya make i add salt to injury*

Ishilove and Flow will make a good couple..

SHIKENA!

texanomaly:

You are right...As for me, I think Flow is amazing. I graduated with an English major from Brigham Young University. I currently teach English in Texas. If Flow's work was turned in as an essay, I could not give him an "A". However, if this were turned in as a diary or journal entry, I would definitely give him an A+. He is creative and addresses his target audience brilliantly. I love your writing Flow. Don't ever stop. Tex

Encouraging words. My only comment to all...including Flow...Man wey dey Reason is no ordinary piece of writing. The last person I know that wrote like this...pretty much a memoir in broken English...was the author V.S Naipaul. His hook House for Mr Biswas made the New York Times list of the Top 100 novels of the 20th Century.I found Flow's work more entertaining. If this work is published today I know it would be a runaway Best Seller in Nigeria and the diaspora.... and don't for a minute think Nigerians only can read pidgin and are following this thread. Haters back off ...man wey dey reason must flow.

Hmmm hhmm *clears throat*
Ishilove (plaintiff) ℓ grant Ʊ bail in dis case,bt provision of 2 eligible literature oga's as sureties z paramount.
Flow aka 1759 shud b discharged asap wit no bail tag.

*****************CASE DISMISSED***************

Not only did this guy call flow's Memoir dumb. He also called his entertained audience dumb.

I have the impression that he didnt read from the begining.

How can one conclude that the texture of the poo is irrelevant?

Is flow's updates not more steady than ishilove?

If a comparism is to be made between flow and ishilove, then i would like to see the Memoir that she wrote if there is any.

Mehnnnn, i no fit shout..

flowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww, so i tot, poo poooooooooo. Haters keep-off
