***Vera singing***
“I wanna wish you a merry Christmas/ I wanna wish you a merry Christmas/ I wanna wish you a merry Christmas from the bottom of my ha-art! Feliz navidad….”
While some of you might think that Christmas is just for celebrating the birth of Christ and his glorious entry into this sinful world of ours, there is actually something else that ought to be celebrated today: the upcoming of another EXTRA SPECIAL DAY – JANUARY 14TH!!!
So what happens on January 14th, you ask? If you have to ask, then you deserve 24 lashes of koboko. But because today is Christmas, there shall be no whipping. January 14th is the day that yours truly, (Yes, the Verastic Vera) turns plus one. You see, I wasn’t gonna come into this sinful world, but I thought, “If Jesus could do it, then why not me?”
So on one fateful night, thirty-eight weeks before Jan 14th 19XX, I was conceived. I know it was night because back then, they only used to have sex at night. I was placed in my mommy’s womb, and since then, she has been the proudest woman alive. Why not, if not? I am everything she longed for and more, if I do say so myself. Certain events occured while mommy was pregnant with me – like the day she was getting off the bus in London (or was it Russia?) and the bus driver moved before mom had completely stepped off, so mom went tumbling down – with me inside her! Mom and dad have always used that event as an explanation for why I turned out the way I have – whatever that means. I will take that as a compliment.
There is also the fact that I began to drink alcohol when I was a baby. It’s a miracle I don’t care for alcohol now. Yes, apparently, whenever I cried too much and dad couldn’t take it anymore, he put a few drops of alcohol in my mouth. That often sent me to sleep. He still hasn’t apologized for that. I wonder if it’s too late to sue him for child abuse. But I digress…
On this wonderful Christmas day, you ought to be thinking about what you will give the Verastic Vera for her birthday. Being the selfless, kind-hearted person that I am, I have compiled a list for you – complete with a mailing address! Please, pick any gift from the list below and send it to me. P. O. BOX 7893. Essex, MD 21221. United States of America.
1. Husband (If you know where he is, please send him to my P. O. BOX asap so we can go and get married. I have already found my wedding gown and the hall we’ll be getting married in. I’ve even picked the aso-ebi lace, and Funmi and Busola have prepared their speech. Oh, I’ve even found my ring; he just needs to pay for it).
2. Nikon D90 (The first DSLR camera that has movie functionality!! Been stalking it on Best Buy ever since. If I get this camera….I’m gonna be….I don’t even know what I’m gonna be. Dear God, please touch ye the hearts of my readers!!)
3. The new BlackBerry Bold. (Ever since I spotted this phone, I have not been able to stop picturing myself using it. Honestly, I’ll look so good using it. It fits my bold personality.)
4. Wii Game (Ever since I played this game @ a friend’s house, I have not been able to stop thinking about it).
5. This bag from Macy’s. (I love this bag from Macy’s; dunno why, but I do. Think it would look better in black).
6. Perfume: Pour Femme by Bvlgari (Haven’t been able to get my mind off it).
7. Perfume: Romance by Ralph Lauren (Been loving it since my Naija days)
8. Perfume: Miracle Forever by Lancome

My dear people, though my birthday isn’t till next month, I have currently started accepting gifts due to the rush. For your sake (I know you wouldn’t want your gift(s) to be late), I advice that you send your gifts ASAP….in order to avoid the rush, of course.

Vera, brodas are everywhere. Just ,marry one. they are d same, so dont wait for an angle cos u can’t please him. Out of d abundance in d heart, the mouth speaks; u need a man and I believe u can have him. Just believe and accept the ones that God has by his power made available to u either in ur church, skol, work place or neighbourhood. Stop waiting for those celebrities expect u want to add divorce ceritificate to be added to ur degree certificates in ur portmanto

Merry Christmas. I think what you really need is some drops of vodka, and nothing more!
Nolimit says

Rethots: Merry Xmas to you too, love.
Anonymous: Na who dey wait for celebrity brodas?? I am no celebrity, so I have no reason to wait for one. As for the brothas in my neighborhood, well, that's easy for you to say. Have you seen them?? LOL. My love for meat will not make me call a cow my brotha abeg. If I marry the kind of men I have met so far, that means I should be expecting to catch him in bed with someone else soonest. Mba o. That is not my portion in Jesus name. When the man comes, I will know.
Calabar Girl: Ah, my gift berra get there successfully ooo. In fact, lemme go and warn all the post office people to make sure they guard my P. O. BOX carefully coz I'll be expecting some fragile packages! Love you too. *Vera blushing* I've always known you have a thing for me.
