So, this is one of the many things that I have been planning on doing but yet to do. However, in this 2018 that we have entered, I am ready to cross things off my list. The title of this post is a play on how Nigerian interviewers start their interviews by asking the interviewee, “Can we know you?” So in my case, I’d like to know you.
Here’s the idea: I have been blogging for years, and you know so much about me. I have shared so much of my life with you that I sometimes don’t remember what I have shared or not shared. So many of you come here and leave comments to laugh with me or encourage me, and I am so appreciative.
Therefore, I want to get to know you. Beyond the comments that you leave here and beyond your comments on social media and your emails and everything else, I’d like to get to know you.
It’s very simple: send me a direct email to hello at verastic.com and we’ll take it from there. I’ll need your picture and some details from you. I just want to get to know you, that’s all. Shall we call it the Sweet Potato Files?
Very good idea Vera. God bless you.
Thank you, Peju!
All I will say is that for the past 3 years, I have lived in the same state as you 🙂
Ahhhhhhh!!!! Manny, in the words of one Yoruba movie like that, “What a BETRAYED!” We’ve been in the same State since and we haven’t seen??? Wait. Have we met? Manny, if you answer yes to this question, I wee flog you walahi.
Hahaha. No, we have never met!
Hmmmmm!!!
Manny, this thing you’re doing is not good oh! We have been inhaling the same oxygen for three months and you did not tell me. How do I know you’re not my next door neighbor now? Okay, when are we getting together to have some ice cream?
Ok but the problem is, I am shy 😐
Nkiru, I rebuke that shyness. My fren, wee you send me an email before I vex kpata kpata.
Very nice idea. I am sending my autobiography now
Please do! I’d love to see it 🙂
Hahaha this made me smile. Perfect title. I just kept smiling and smiling. I mean, I’m not one to try to reveal myself, I don’t know, but ok ok. Haha let’s see. It’s 2018 afterall, new beginnings
Idle head
Oluchi, I’m happy you were smiling. And please, like you said, it’s 2018, so it’s time to reveal yourself. I don dey wait oh!
Ok Vera, if you insist!!…like Nkiru and Oluchi said, I am a bit shy and no too like attention like that, but you are actually the only blogger I follow, read and even respond to her posts.
Anyway I don send my own email sha.
Gbam!! And yes, I do insist. Also, Nkiru already sent her thing in oh. She might even be the next feature, so be inspired by that (As I’m responding to this email, I don’t remember if you’re one of the people who have sent me an email already that I’m yet to respond to. If I am, sorry oh! Will be catching up today on all emails and comments).
