\"Blog\"<\/a>Now, you know that I have been reminiscing on old posts and bloggers<\/strong><\/a>, right? So back in the day, I was the ashewo blogger and the envy of all the female bloggers (whether they admit it or not) because I had three wonderful blog husbands: Boorish Male, Guy Horny, and Naija Bloke.\u00a0You know what’s so cool about it? I still keep in touch with ALL of them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Boorish Male:<\/strong><\/span> He was the certified bad boy of Blogville. Most of his posts were about women, sex, relationships. The badder he was, the more we (women) loved him. He told us stories about women whose hearts were broken by him, like the woman who tried to set him on fire. He was anonymous, as was I, too. \u00a0He once wrote a post for me – titled Vera Ezimora<\/em> – and I saved it on my computer. Glad I did because his blog<\/strong><\/a> is now open only to invited readers.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I had a number listed publicly, maybe an AOL number or something like that. And \u00a0I did not know much about Boorish Male until I heard his voice on my voice mail. It was deep and hella sexy, with an English accent. I just had to know who he was. And that was how my relationship with Boorish Male started.\u00a0<\/span>We visited each other’s blogs and became friends offline. He was naughty offline, too. \u00a0It’s been years, but we still keep in touch. We don’t talk every day, or even every month, but we definitely keep in touch.<\/p>\n

Naija Bloke:<\/strong><\/span> He doesn’t blog<\/strong><\/a> much anymore, but he’s pretty active on Twitter<\/strong><\/a>. His last blog update was in October of last year. He, too, was anonymous. I first met him in 2007 at Solachi’s wedding. And I’ve seen him a couple of times after that, too. Come June of this year, I most likely would see him again when I go to Florida. He blogged mostly about funny or weird things. Funmie will kill me for saying this, but she used to drool for him, saying he was tall, dark, and handsome — which he is.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guy Horny:<\/strong><\/span> Saving the best for last. Guy Horny was the one who told us so many tales about his sexcapades, especially with one Lindiwe like that. I envied her a little bit. He lived a double life on Blogville, but most people didn’t know, of course. He had a regular<\/em> blog, and then, he had the Guy Horny blog which was his alter ego. We just had some very natural chemistry – not the romantic\/sexual kind. We could talk forever about everything, like our relationships, blogging, money, life. He’s the one I am closest to and the one I communicate with very, very often – average of once a week.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guy Horny is still around and I cannot elaborate on what that means exactly because people still don’t know who he is, and I will never, ever tell. His blog was porn in the written form. Unfortunately, he did like some other great bloggers and completely deleted his blog.<\/p>\n

I don’t know why I keep remembering the old blogging days, but it’s like recently, I open a blog and I just wish I could read posts like the ones I used to read before where people would blog from their heart, about the things that were happening to them – whether painful, challenging, exciting, etc. I still have the post that Boorish Male wrote to me, and I will share it here next week. It even still has comments from people like Calabar Girl, Noni Moss, and Omodudu. Gooooood times!<\/p>\n

P.S.<\/strong> I still don’t know who is naughtier between Boorish Male and Guy Horny. But I know that I won’t be left alone with Boorish Male in a room with a bed. Or a table. Or a kitchen counter. Or a couch. Or a floor.<\/p>\n

P.P.S.<\/strong> I forgot to mention Baba Alaye. He was my boyfriend! The guy was illegally funny. He seemed like the kind of person you’d sit with and just laugh from dusk till dawn. Baba Alaye, if by some miracle you’re reading this, then I wanna know when we are gonna meet. Come on! For old blog’s sake \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
