Forgot To Say….
First of all, I wanna apologize for not adding a very important info to yesterday’s post. I forgot to give credit to Calabar Gal for helping me out with the Calabar names, and educating me on the difference between Akwa Ibom and Cross River. She gave me a lot of Calabar names to choose from…of which I chose Offiong and Ekanem (though Ekanem is not talked about till the next chapter). Thanks Calabar Gal!
I’m also thankful to my gal, Idara from Akwa Ibom who added more info for me. Thanks Idara.
Uju’s Car Went Dead
Uju called me @ past 1am this morning to tell me her car had died on her way home. It needed to be jump-started but she didn’t have a cable. So my mom and I went to help her out (mom has a jump-starter cable). Thank God she was only about a minute from her house (which is also close 2 mine: her house is a walking distance from mine). I was surprised Mom even knew how 2 jump start the car sef…considering the fact that she didn’t know how to pop her hood. Finally, Uju’s car started and she was able 2 drive it home. I didn’t go there with my camera (which is usually in my bag), so I was forced to make do with my camera. That’s mom’s SUV by the left and Uju’s car by the right. If you look closely, you’d see Uju somewhere between both cars with the jump-starter cable.
Weird News
I heard this on the news yesterday: A teacher has been accused of conspiring with her husband to steal the pee of the students in her school. Apparently, she gave her husband the key to the bathroom, which he used to force the lil boys to pee into some cup he had. Why did he do this? Honestly, I don’t know. They haven’t found out yet. Weird people.
Can We Go 2 Jail 4 This?
Uju and I went to the Grocery store today where we saw a fruit called Kiwano Melons, and they cost $3.99 each. Neither Uju nor I had heard of it, so out of curiousity, Uju opened one in half, and each of us tasted it. I don’t know what it tasted like. It tasted kinda tasteless…in a bad way. We dropped it back there (you can see the open kiwano melon in the picture). Yea, I know it’s bad, but Uju made me do it! I don’t wanna mention the name of the store of course, just in case one of their workers find it, LOL. I could just see the headline now: NIGERIAN GIRL ARRESTED FOR TASTING AND DUMPING KIWANO MELONS THAT WEREN’T PAID FOR. (As if Naija doesn’t have enough bad publicity already! Now, to go and add that we also steal Kiwano melons would be an absolute outrage!) This time I had my camera, but the batteries were dead, so once again, I was forced to use my phone.
I think that’s it for now. Until tomorrow, of course. Thanks for all those that read Every Woman and contacted me (thru comments, emails, Yahoo! Messenger). I really appreciate it.
Nite Y’ll!
As always, comments are not only welcome, but REQUIRED! :))
I think you shoulda given credit to me for hounding you to put the post up!!!
“Thank you so Much LondonBuki cos without your gentle persuasion, I won’t have had the courage to put it up”
I was looking for the picture now!!! This razz blogger that freezes anyhow! Mummies have hidden powers oh… LOL!
OLE!!! TIEF!!! BARAWO!!! $4 fruit – you tasted it and did not even finish the thing! This is coming from someone who has tasted fruit(grapes) to check if they are sweet enough oh… even if I have like ten loose ones and then decide not to buy it! LOL!!!
ooooooo that was bad…please go back and confess and PAY…lol
London Bukki, ok, no problem, I will write what you said I should write. But I will say you’re the one that said I should write it o! LOL. I do that grape thing too. It’s a bad habit, I know, but I have 2 taste!
Diamond Hawk: Ehn? I should go and confess? You don’t like me oh. You want me 2 be locked up for a tasteless fruit? LOL
question: what do you need a camera for if you cant use it when required and besides your phone-camera seems to take very clear pictures.
Those kiwano melons look like a native fruit from my village (not sure, but I think it’s called achicha, or something like that)
So u r part of the ppl that open and taste stuffs in the grocery stores and put them back ..well understandable
What abt 6pack of Heineken with 2 missing .. r ppl trying to get free booze now..
kiwano melons? havent heard of dat b4.. but yea.. i’d pay good money to see that headline.. lol
Naughty, Naughty!!
You should post ur full address on ur blog. You could get a pleasant surprise and find out the store owner is a blogging pal!! LOL!!
I must confess I am one of those who go specifically to the fruits section in Tesco to taste the fruits. I always make sure I taste the red grapes, green grapes, cherries, all the berries, gives me a thrill checking to see if the staff are looking my way. He he he.
Have a lovely weekend.
i have warned u against taking lil stuff from ur nephew. u no gree hear, now u have advanced to grocery store level, where u gave urself the job of a food taster abi. come to think of it, at least u didnt steal it. u were only seeking information, and to deprive u of info about the melons would be infrindging on ur right to information.
Beautifully Human: My sista, I just like the camera jare. My phone tends 2 make things look ‘greenish’…or maybe it’s just me.
ONB: You don miss road oh cause you’ll never never ever see that headline.
NaijaBloke: I can account 4 missin fruit (and candy) but booze? I no know o! I’ve seen 4-pack Amp with two cans missin. People r funny
Calabar Gal: I’m about 2 diagnose u wit FRUIT KLEPTOPMANIA. Although, I have 2 say I am guilty of doin d same.
Chief: Abi o! And we wouldn’t wanna wanna mess with my right 2 know stuff, would we?
