Cant think of a title ( I guess thats it right there smh!)

Ok so tell my why  my dad has a facebook account and why  my mother want to start one? Na wa for some parents sha... they are all jumping on the facebook wagon...dem send una? Even highschool and middleschool studentshave facebooks..and facebook can cause trouble sha as in couples break up because of fbk and people stop being friends because of it..all i know is that my dad berra not friend me.hes gonna get IGNORED! lmao i know how he is...he'll be snooping around and em barrazzinng me with comments like "yo yo yo wassap kiddo"? or whats d dealio ni99a? yea my dad is not a normal nigerian father...


I was listening to Minister Louis Farakhan yesterday...he had me rolling...he basically was saying howAmerica's time is up...he said colleges invite young people to go to school, young people eventually get into debt because of loans and then they graduate with degrees that they can't even use.That is just fraud. The colleges know this before hand that students will go to their school and become engulfed in debt that they will be paying until they die. 


People often get the idea that because you go to school/graduate in the US, that you will get a job. No one is guaranteed anything. There are people who are engineers who work in nursing homes, there are poltical science majors working in inner city schools. The recession isnt an excuse. He said America is run on pills: you want to go to sleep? take a pill. You want to wake up? take a pill? You want to eat ? take a pill. You have indigestion? take a pill. Cant walk right? take a pill . You have pain? take a pill.....it was just too hilarious and true at the same time. He was basically exposing the country for what it is.


 He was also interviewed by Mike Wallace and the topic about Nigeria came up ( about how corrupt it was) and Louis Farrakhan just burried Wallace with his mouth sha...he said how can America talk about being corrupt when its shed the blood of so many including Native Americans and the Koreans when they dropped nuclear bombs...when Wallace asked him if he can think of another nation as corrupt as Nigeria he said " yea I'm living in one"



The speech/interviews were old but I thought I'd share :)






My brother is finally learning pidgin...sometimes he sounds so bad that I just have to laugh...his american accent mixed with pidgin is something else like LWKMD!!! I know I might sound funny to people who grew up speaking it but lmao his own is on a kentro level like damn...He's learning it from all the naija kids in his school..those ones sef...but I like that hes trying to learn it, me I'm already a master at it...I know its not proper english n my cousins say girls shouldnt speak pidgin but its the only thing I can speak..apart from my own language which I'm learning small small... I dont know if its because we are nigerian -american but it cant rly be an  excuse for not knowing/learning our language. It never should be, seeing as we grew up with  our family friends(there are 5 boys and right down to the last born whos 6 yrs old speaks igbo) who are fluent in igbo...and they were born in the states...so whats my parents excuse...hmmm i forgive them sha;  i can go and learn on my own...hmm and blogsville ppl make una get ready oo! as in u all will be giving me online lessons...any language wey una wan teach me oo,i go learn. I wish I went to a college that offers igbo or yoruba classes... I know Upenn does and so does Univ. of Texas...ah well.


Its finally a New Year, so i gotta stop worrying about things I really cant change..n focus on ones that I can. I'm really trying to make changes in every aspect of my life. I know everyone is always vowing to lose weight and what not but i'm really trying to improve myself from the inside first and the religious aspect of my life especially. I want to be content in this new year/decade.


I just picked up a new book at barnes and noble:
A man worth waiting for, how to avoid a bozo by Jackie Kendall. Its really insightful. Its a good christian book,and I rcmend it especially to single women...my next read has definately got to be: The thing around your neck by Chimamanda Adichie, I been hearing some good things about the book... they dont have it over here...(oyinbos for here  no dey like betta thing jare..)

I've been discovered!

So my cousin has discovered my blog! I knew I should have made it private lmao. Sh!t.

Hes so sneaky, so he must hv known about it all this while and he never said anything. note to self: clear all blogger windows on computer!!

Neefemi, I guess this is a good time to let you know, that it was my cousin(i.oputa) that told me about your blog and that I should read it. It was kind of funny at first because of they way he mentioned it to me...then he went on to say I had some 'interesting stuff on there'. I'm thinking about all the things Ive writen on here but the more I think about it the more I'm going to get em-barazzed lmao. Oh well, no sweat right. Hes like another brother to me so its not like the things I've said on here I havent said them to him in person....but the way I'm panicking(secretly lol) you would have thought olu discovered it!!!


I know ur reading this!!! Its okay ehn, wait make u no worry,I will be doing my detective work on you... ur eye go neat :)


Semester is finally over with, now its time to write some essays for these schools. I got one BIG reality check on friday, went to my advisor and he told me I need to get my gpa higher or stay at my current school for another full semester ( mba!) so next semester its all work no play. All these schools I want to apply to are all top tier schools...which means they require like 3.7s and higher....

Thanksgiving was nice and I'm thankful for soo many things...
We had turkey ( of course) moi moi, jellof rice,banga soup/fufu,meat pie, cornbread, baked mac and cheese and Nigerian style salad...my cousin brought apple pie and drinks...shes so Americanized its not even funny lmao, she came with her childhood friend and her boyfriend who's white, hes a cool dude sha...hes funny, likes kids, good job....my aunt was even wondering when he was going to ask him to marry her lol, then she proceeded to ask her friend where her boyfriend was!!! Shes living with this guy, probably sleeping with him too ( like i really wanna know if this is true!)and they've been together for over a year,( i think 2 or 3 yrs) and shes in her late twenties and so is he, haa if she wants to get married then she berra do so oh, but i dont think moving in together is a good idea, i think it breaks up couples faster and then they dont make it down the isle, but hey im just a kid what do i know?!!

By 5:30-6 we started eating, by 8:00 everyone was gone, and I even forgot that I invited one of my friends, shes from Cameroon, and she really doesnt have much family here , so I kuku txt am tell am say make she begin dey get ready make i pick am up lera.I was tired and told her I would bring her food instead ( yea thats mean I know! ) and I met up with her and brought her food and drinks and she was telling me what the guy she used to go out with was doing, how he was talking to another girl ( but her later deleted her number) and this is the same guy who threw her out in the summer and even called the police, put her thru hell. The guy is really nice despite all that, but it had me thinking: Girls put up with a lot from guys, I mean we take so much shit from them and we say that we are going to do this and that and tell him this, that and the other thing but we never follow thru, we allow ourselves to be used and we go thru soo much for no reason, its really sad actually because its pretty safe to say that many guys wouldnt put up with a lot, then take the same person whos been giving them hell back...

Its time for women to stop putting up with so much sh.it, and making excuses for why men are the way they are and why they do the things they do. I cant shout.

Happy Thanksgiving ( If ur celebrating it)
