It’s that time of the year again. The <\/span>Nigerian Blog Award<\/span><\/a><\/b> is bizzzzack!!  Before I tell you why I deserve to win, I just want to thank everyone who nominated me. I am very, very grateful — especially seeing as I did not even know that nominations were already in session. If I had known, well, perhaps, <\/span>this post from last year<\/span><\/a><\/b> will give you a clue about what I would have done.<\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Now, let’s get down to the nitty gritty. Yours truly – yes, the one, the only verastic blogger, has been nominated in five categories (and I did not even have to fight for them), and here are the reasons why I should win all the categories I was nominated in.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
1.  Best Daily Read:<\/b> Pick a day — like today, and I’ll give you something good to read.    <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
2.  Best Use of Media\/ Including Social Media:<\/b> How many other blogs do you go to where you can both read, hear, and<\/i> vote?  On Verastically Livin, you can!  I mean, super stars have been created on the Verastically Speakin’ Talk Radio<\/a><\/b>! Okay, maybe not  super stars exactly — but somewhere close. Oh, but it gets better than that! Verastically Livin’ also has a ‘Prove Your Like’ Facebook<\/a><\/b> widget. If this is not head-turning, gotta-vote-Vera-in cool, tell me what is.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
3.  Most Humorous Blog:<\/b> Wasn’t it I who came up with the <\/span>secret formula to fix this so-called economic recession<\/span><\/a><\/b> (by seducing men and producing baby girls)?  Wasn’t it I who told you of <\/span>the Priest who inquired of my stance on oral sex<\/span><\/a><\/b>?  Wasn’t it I who told you that <\/span>Turai Yar’Adua vanished into thin air<\/span><\/a><\/b> after thanking me for my alleged prayers?  And  wasn’t it I who told you just <\/span>how hard men have it<\/span><\/a><\/b>? It was I, was it not?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
4.  Most Unique Voice:<\/b> Who, me? *Looking around, confused*<\/i> Oh, my. How I have longed and waited to hear this. I have a unique voice?? Finally, someone sees [hears] it! People have been falling in love with everyone’s voice but mine. I mean, just this Saturday, all my co-hosts [<\/b>, NaijaBloke<\/a><\/b>, and BDON<\/a><\/b>] shamelessly fell in love with Life of a Stranger’s<\/a><\/b> voice — right before my very ears! So, yes, if not for anything else, I need this award to validate me. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n

<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
5.  Nigerian Blog of the Year:<\/b> There are two reasons why I qualify to win this category (i)<\/b> I’m Nigerian (ii)<\/b> It’s the year 2010. Oh, I have a third reason … (iii)<\/b> I’m better than all the other nominees. Yes, all nine of them.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

But just in case you need to be persuaded just a wee bit more, here’s my history with the Nigerian Blog Awards.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
