So after all that mind preparation, pops has had the final say on my travelling and its a big fat NO. My mum and I tried to make him see reason including the fact that my friend is going to think im using that at as a major excuse but he is adamant.
'You are not going!, no way, please, we were to send a girl at the company to Benin and her father wrote to say the road is bad and he would not risk his daughters life. Its the same here, I don't trust these planes, infact they are about to ALL be grounded. Please my daughter, you can't go. Get her a very nice present.'
'Daddy nothing is going to happen, and A is going to be very mad at me. She'll think I'm lying cos I was avoiding it. I can't miss it and there are other people going anyway'
'Is it Aero? Is it Virgin?' No
'TELL HER TO CALL ME IF SHE DOES NOT BELIEVE YOU'
This man sef. Needless to say I think I've lost a friend :(
Have a great weekend people. I officialy start my new job on Monday. Wish me luck on my first day :)

Awww!! You were supposed to go and represent us. She'll understand though. Thinking about that, my dad would have probably said NO too.
babes, if your father has said no, please listen to him abeg and get your friend a nice gift. Explain to her and am sure she'll understand. Kpele!
I am with ur dad o,cos if anything happens,guess who ppl will be talking abt.Ur parents cos everybody knows u r still staying at home and they allowed u to go ..

I can't say I blame your dad - he's only thinking of your safety. If your friend is indeed a good friend, she will understand.
Good luck on monday.
I agree with ur dad, u don't want ur folks to have sleepless nite while u r on the plane.
i m sure ur friend will understand
Oh shame!!..to think I was going to see some pictures..anyways with my Naija ways...i'd find a way of seeing them.
To be honest Daddy knows best..so i'd say listen to him if i were you.
Good luck with the new job...knock em dead.
Congrats Good luck on Monday.
Naija Dads are all the same.But please don't go. I feel him on that.I've got a few "inside Gist" about the Aviation Industry but i don't wanna scare you. Ignorance is Bliss. As Dimples said "Daddy knows best"
All the best on ur new job babe! n 'm sure ur friend will understand.

aww - so dad has poured sand in your gari - but He is right - there is a sying what a child cannot see when he climbs an iroko tree a parent can see sitting down. LOLOLOL- I dont know who told me this -
Even though nothing will happen to you - it is better to take your fathers advice - so I can see you are not going - dont worry -
and haved a blessed start at your job on monday.
Argggggggggggg.... was looking forward to wedding gist....can't you use Okada or are those extinct in Nigeria or they dont go long distance (lol...ok just messing with you). Oh well if daddy has said No then i guess NO...by the way what is his favorite meal? (hint! hint!!)..lol
please do not feel like you have lost a friend. This is a tough time and your dad is just looking out for you. Shows the love he has for you. honestly I probably woould have said no to my child as well. Given what we know about the airlines. I am certain your friend will understand:)Send her a lovely gift and oh have fun on your first day at work and smile as much as possible. Hate to say it I am relieved you did not chanchangi (spelling?)
I feel ur dad on this, it's a tough decision he needed to make on ur behalf - air travel once used to be the safest mode of transportation but not so in Nigeria, dont even think of going by road ...
Just like others, I will suggest you simply buy her a lovely gift and remind her that there are many more things to be celebrated in future; hopefully she'll understand.
Best wishes with ur new job.
sorry u couldn't make it to benin (dads can be so overprotective at times....but they mean well). Enjoy your first day at work
im with ur dad all the way.thats exactly what my dad would do.if anything happened to u,do u reckon they would forgive themselves?
You are a celebrity. I just saw your picture in ThisDay's Style. LOL. I know you will have a fab day at work......
Oh with your dad. Its paranoid io know but hey, life...LOL
Just saw this post.
Good Luck and Enjoy your first day :-)
Good luck with your first day!
yeah,we have to listen to parents o..these 9ja airlines aint safe..just yesterday in The Guardian(20/11/2006) it was reported that a guy(micheal
dickson) attempted to put explosive on a local plane,he's been arrested though.so ur dad is right
My dad fit do the same...
We have to always listen to words of the elders.
All the best on your first day at work. Lost my old blog. This is the new addy.
