On Saturday, May 3rd, I attended a get-together celebrating the 5th birthday of Nigerian Village Square. I was invited by Dimaanu, one of the members of NVS. I wasn’t gonna go…cause you know I am anonymous *cough*, but Dimaanu used her sweet mouth to convince me to come. I was supposed 2 go with Uju and Funmi, but I ended up going with only Uju. Funmi had some issues with her job, and could not get off work early enough.
I’m really glad I went. I met lots of beaurriful people – inside and out.
- I met Big K – the founder & administrator of NVS. He’s soooooo down to earth. He came all the way from Chicago. I had to beg him 2 stop dancing Yahoozee b4 the Yahoozee police arrests him for “overdancing”
- I met Dimaanu, and she was just as sweet as the egwusi soup she cooked. I was gonna pour some of the soup in my purse sef, but as per first impression, I didn’t want 2 disgrace myself – YET
- I met Wayo Guy, but contrary to his name, there is nothing wayo about him. He actually hosted us. And he had a very lively personality.
- I met Baba Boyz – a very funny guy. Easy to talk to, and a great sense of humor. He asked me about Mr. Kisser; he wanted to know if it was a true story. Sadly, Mr. Kisser really does exist.
- I met Atomic Kitten – this kitten was very atomic indeed. Na oversexy dey do am. (I learnt the term ‘oversexy’ from Mr. Total Package)
- I met Omojeje – she could not stop dancing & smiling. I think she was blushing for me. What can I say? We had kemistry. LOL
- I met African Chiquito No. 1 – and she refused to reveal her real name, but as fate will have it, I have found out the name she has been hiding. I was not seeking the in4mation oo. I was jejely sitting down, and gbam, information came & met me. Who am I to reject such inifo?
- I met Arseyme – another beaurriful babe. She seemed quiet and shy, but who knows sef? If a loud trouble maker like Uju can come across as shy, then the possibilities are endless.
- I met Churchill Okonkwo & his gorgeous wife whose name I cannot remember at this time, but they are a beaurriful couple.
There were so many others, but my mind is kinda running blank right now, so bear with me. But it was really nice meeting them all. We’re looking forward to having a bigger party next year. Big K has appointed me as one of the organizers. Oh boy!
The thing I love most about NVS is its maturity and intellectuality. Some of these other forums are filtrated with small pikins that cannot contribute anything to one’s intelligence. If anything, they suck your brain cells. NVS, on the other hand, is filled with beaurriful, smart people – you know kind of like me. LOL. So if they say smart, beaurriful people should come out now, I go follow comot abi? LOL.
So now that I have revealed myself AND taken pictures which are now on the internet (although I was not tagged in any of the pictures), does that mean I am no longer anonymous?? Well, I’m still anonymous. That’s my story & I’m sticking to it! After all, there are some people that still don’t know what I look like. But kai, it’s so much easier to not be anonymous. I’m tired of hiding. The fact that I write with my real name makes it even harder. *sigh*
Of course, I took lotsa pictures of everyone (including myself). I woulda put up pictures of some of the villagers, but I did give them my word that I wasn’t gonna put them on my blog. Since I am a woman of her words – except 4 instances where I change my mind, I will not post their pictures.
If you are not a member of NVS, you should do so now. http://www.nigeriavillagesquare.com/ You won’t regret it.
Meanwhile, please take a moment to read my new article: By Their Looks, You Shall Know Them. And don’t forget 2 leave comments o!

On my way to hunt for the pics now…
errrrmmm where do I start???
I think I will start with Temmy Tayo…seems a very good place to start as you are begging her…hmmm…
Hi Temmy!!!
I feel you on getting tired of being anonymous…The hidding is so tiring…
I am one of your big and anonymous fans on NVS. I am generally a fan of the forum, got to know about it thru a friend and contributor Uche Nworah. Like you said, its mature and knowledgeable. I drop in everyday, and still read articles from some of the authors whose opinions (and deep seated …you know abati what) I dont agree with.
AfroBabe: Your own better now. You’re not blogging with your actual name. I, on the other hand, I blog with my real name, so I cannot help but be conscious of everything I do. When I meet someone new…what name should I give them? The Igbo one that few people know me by? Or the Russian one that most people know me by? Hmmmmmm. And leve Temmy alone ooO!
Aba Boy: Ah, don’t be anonymous ooo. LOL. Reveal yourself 2 me ASAP. The writers are very colorful. There r so many of us with so many different opinions. It’s amazing.
You write good. I’m a fan.
Cheers.
anonymous??.. vera i think that ship sailed a while back 🙂
I luf you VERA,some people are threatening me to reveal the fotos but odikwa NO.
You are safe!!!!!!!!!
The easiest way to do dis is…when the pix are publisher, the tagger should label..Ms Anonymous and if you ever type Verastic…u’re on your own.Just my own 10kobo I dey give so…so dat wahala no go dey. If her pix is tagged otherwise, hmm, her email go full with suitors and dem Big boys in search of a well-groomed naija-trained wife that she sounds like…abi na lie Vera?
I am not blogging with my name but my sis, It’s like I have introduced myself to everyone who ever sent me a private mail…seems silly not to…
Errrrmmm Temmy how far??? do we have a deal???
If not….
Funmie, holla at ur girl…
Aloofar: Thanks!! Make sure you come back.
Desiree’d: C’mon sharrap b4 I tke slap reconstruct your face. How dia you?! LOL. That ship never sail ooo. Forget what u know.
Temmy Tayo: This ur Igbo sha…the thing get K leg oo. LOL. But I love you too. Make sure you continue to bind and cast the people that are threatening you. Tell them no!!! LOL
Nuggetzman: LOL. You’re not serious oo. They should tag the picture as Ms Anonymous but if you say Vera na your own?? LOL. Which kin yeye misyarning be that? If any1 does that, I will hurt the person oo. I don’t anything about being a well groomed Naija wife. LOL. I will find out when I get married.
Afrobabe: Mind ursef oo! No make me come there cum panel beat you finish ooo. I will hurt you. As for being anonymous, lol, my dear sorry oh. The thing toooooo hard!
I havent been to NVS in such a long while. Ever since Soul Sista stopped writing. Should head over there and see whats happening since Vera’s pretty face & pics are flying around bloggosphere.
Vera, Vera. My DSC-40 has packed up. I was thinking of getting myself a toy just like urs but cant afford one right now and may have to settle for one for those fujifine pix S8600 intermediaries for the meantime. Abi make I come play with ur own in the interim?
sounds like someone had fun!!!!
btw, wot ever became of NVS’s effort 2 get BA to apologies or b boycotted?
Calabar Gal: My dear, you’re always welcome 2 come and play with mine any time you wanna. So you’re going 2 look 4 my pictures ehn? LOL. You should be able to identify me. I don tire to dey hide sef. If I vex too much, I’ll just go ahead & put my pictures online myself 4 everyone 2 see. This hiding thing don tire me finish.
Free-Flowing Florida: They’re still working on it. BA has not directly apologized (to my knowledge) but they sound sorry. However, a direct apology is required, or they will be boycotted, I hope.
