I suspect you wanna goad me into parting with the run down of my neck of the wood. Hmm...I'm not telling! Whatever happened to good ol' fashion surprise? (Lol).
Anyway sha, for financial resources a la lesson 101 in 419, Folanke and Muda Kaduna can help you out (lol). Did they not make a recent fast trip to Yankeeland in a twinkle of an eye? (Lol).
Thanks. You're a gentleman. I look forward to reading your poems.
Mandy,
"Mberegede nyiri dike" That's why I dread surprises. A guy I know once told me a story about a guy he knows(lol) This guy had meant to surprise his girl with a visit, but he was surprised when he walked into the room and beheld two pairs of jointed lower appendages sticking out through the duvet.
I'm told he still hears the sound he heard that day everyhwere he goes. poor man! Don't worry, there aint gonna be no surprises except my midgety frame. I'm actually shorter than 5'2"!
Who will pay for my flight????
I've never been to america I'd like to be in america Everything is in america...etc etc

That one na poem O, we're back to the real world and like mallam bature said you can't take love to the market and buy things with it.
"I know say i don't enter trouble be that."
"please my sister Amanda reason with me, don't be angry"
PS: As per the sound, since she is a Brit, my guess is that it must've been the national anthem "God save the queen". You have any other idea?

Hmm....I see you're not impressed by the mysteriously romantic ocean. In that case, let the good Mallam Bature usher in the donkeys. Remember, do not look the gifted donkey on the mouth.

Nemesis: Sometime ago, I read another piece written by Dr. Emeka Amanze about Sharia. It was posted at EgbeOmoOduduwa.com with an e-mail address. I am not sure if that e-mail address still works. You may give it a try. If you get the article, could you PM me and send me a copy? Thanks.

Na wah for you oh! Thought the Brits find it vulgar discussing money. From how much a shirt costs to the mortgage, I have been led to believe are no-go areas. How come you are so deftly trying to fleece Lady Mandy? A beg no! To fly go US, you fit use your credit card. I hear say na to go Naija wey BritishAirways don tell una capital MBA. Anyway, one day, you go tell me how una manage make akpuruka credit card for Jangdon! I dey throw way salute oh! Na reparation, sha!
Ohafia war dancer, Engineer, lover, poet, essayist, linguist, archivist, war historian, 5'2". Some mix. Anyway sha, wetin concern agboro and overload?
It's well past midnight here and you're making me laugh so hard.
That bit on reparation is very funny. Actually, I know a Ghanain chap who's been going round and putting oyibo girls in the family way. his argument is that the British government should use the money they stole from africa to maintain the mums and the many kids. he's quite passionate and missionate(sic) about it. The problem is when he does some other bad things, he'll claim Biafranigerian nationality.
About Jandon and credit card, I'll pass the question to the our Yoruba brethren as yoruba is the lingua franca at areas such as Peckham and Brixton. The annoying thing is that they spend the money on "naira" spray at the useless owambe parties. Infact now the in-thing is to spray the weaker dollars which they could exchange at the rate of 1:1. And all these are inhabitants of council flats(project for you guys)!
I can't remember saying I'm a war dancer as you need a decent chest to 'do it', but the other vital statistics are "true" mandy says she's more concerned with the inner beauty which you're now trying to raise doubts on. Abeg no put sand for my garri O!
Fleece is a very strong language and my sensitive British sensibility cringeth! Our people like to say that if the first born doesn't have money for the father's burial, then the younger ones who have should 'do something' since it is not the first born that killed the papa. I think Mandy actually feels quite happy that I'm liberal and humble enough to ask
Chei! I need to crash as I should be up in the next 5hrs. Good night America.

God forbid bad thing! Put sand-sand for your gari? Afraid no let me do that one. In any case, e fit you and Lady Mandy. From what I have seen, im hand fit be araldite, and justifiably so, mind you.
Ndi ofe nmanu dey useless. I no see wetin dem dey see for all the miliki. Yeye people, even for their home towns kpakpa, inspite of all the control they have wielded over corporate Nigeria, what have they got to show for it? Yoruba man dey earn 10 dollars but im go claim say na 1,000. See how different we are. The more justification for your tents, O Israel.

Anu Nti, I hear you o. However, my "financially challenged and midgety" OU need to conserve all the energy he can muster. Since I'm hosting him, I doubt he'd ever want to go back to that empire where the sun never shines. Therefore, I believe he deserve to fly the "concorde", first class.

I was just going to bed when I decided to have a last look and something caught my eyes:
When did Anu Nti become a senior Advocate of biafra (SAB)??
You kept it very quiet man. Congratulations.

OU I can smell a love connection between u and sis Amanda. You better come to the US so u can heat it up. Knowing how creative Amanda is, I'm sure your stay in US will a stay of a life time.
Amanda--Eriko Nwanyi Make u treat our friend well o. Feed him well so he can grow taller. Pay for his ticket if he's that penniless. U can exchange poems all night long.
The reason why this board has recorded such giant strides in a very short space of time is its tenacious and unfettered crave for truth. The Bible teaches: " ... and they shall know the truth and it shall set them free". Our elders also teach that "Eziokwu bu Ndu". My simple advise to the administrators of this forum is to make the pursuit of truth and justice the unbending and uncompromising principle of her being; Then it will certainly be guaranteed that this forum will always bubble with "Life" or "Ndu" according to our Elders.
I just sneaked in to have a wee anonymous peek and there was OU's posting suggesting I was keeping this elavation kinda low key (may be to avoid shacking you guys). I never realized it, folks. But thanks to each and everyone of you for making it happen. It takes 2 to tango, they say. One makes postings in response to other exciting posts. Man dey craze small, small but e never reach to dey soliloquize.
Mandy, I hear you. I have my ears glued to the ground. Me, I dey like gist well, well!
Just as well that I had thought about OU's insinuation. I knew you'd be in tandem with him. Never mind sha, me I no dey begrudge my guys the opportunity to get pleasantly tipsy.
But magarita, no, I can do better than that. For that, anyone can cross over to the Mexican border (as GW and I hear the twins are wont to do). The main ingredient is tequila and for the rest, one has some really wide berth to improvise. I will get you some EZIKE-OBA, the real thing, undiluted. The way things are going, some one is going to have a job in hand pretty soon. And he would have the privelege of downing the dregs.
I've just come back from work to meet your exchanges. If you carry on like this we may sue for them to revoke your Senior status O
Mandy baby,
Howdy?

Welcome back from work. Hope you had a good day. As for me, I'm deep up to my neck in it: 2 presentations 'morrow. Anyway, nothing spoil.
Sue me kee? Before you use a certain part of the male homo sapiens' pysiognomy to terrify an old woman, you should first determine what aged her so. Make you chill a-beg. Now that I am aspiring to get those stars also, though it appears that I goofed in that regard ab inicio!
Is it not our forebears' ardent wishes that we get to have "a job in hand"?
I hope your presentations go well. I had a so-so day. It's all doom and gloom in the hiteck biz and like they say, when yankeeland sneezes, the rest of us will catch cold.
Adios!

OU, I promise to do better next time, meaning not put someone (I should know enough not to) on the hot seat. May be that will improve the quality of my posts.

I like this place because it is better than the other place. It is more transparent.
