MY QUESTION FOR YOU

Do you think marriage is worth it. Can there be the ideal marriage?

Blogsville Gist

The biggest question of the day is...Who is Mr G? I personally feel it's someone trying to be someone's ex. This someone recently told us about her break-up and her blog is widely read. I personally think if thats it, then its not very funny.

Happy BirthdayYankeeNaijaChick. Hope you had a smashing day. It's a few more weeks to mine. I'll let you guys know the details once its fully planned.

Simply gorgeous still has her competition going on. She must really love this her brother oh. She still gave no stats on his age. I think maybe cos he is really 40 or something lol.

Don Chi is back with information on where he has been all this while. Naughty.

9ja Opeke congrats on your promotion!

Boorishmale stars in Encounters of the strange kind. It's quite an interesting read....as usual.

Bella hits us with her Weekend luv. It's very good, she uploaded videos even I haven't seen here in Nigeria.

Unnaked has up a funny post about a girl he met on hi5. The things we do......

Low had a great easter weekend and was surprised by hr MR...1...2..3.... AWwwwwwwWWWWWWWWw.

Chameleon has a lovely written post on a date she went to. Sorry if is not your sort of thing..its mine :)

Buki, Vickii, Waffy, Fluffy Cute Thing, Ms Zee and ToyinE have started their 21Day Challenge Join them or cheer them on. You can do it girls!

Finally Blacktinkerbell, we are still waiting for the results !!!!!!!!


I plan to go and vote tomorrow so I had this conversation with my dad.

Tminx: Dad are you voting
Dad: No
Tminx:Why not? You registered
Dad: I'm not voting
Tminx: Well I'm going to vote myself then
Dad: Did you check to see if your name was on the register
Tminx: What register? I'll just go and check tomorrow then vote
Dad: If you waste their time and they check and you name is not there, they will beat the living day lights out of you because you are meant to know your voting center before you go to vote.

Beat or no beat, I'm going to vote.

Blogsville Gist- While I've been gone

So I couldn't wait till Monday. I decided to put up some gist for you guys. Happy Easter again and enjoy.

Simply Gorgeous has a competition going on on her blog. She is pimping her cute brother. I didn't see any stats aside from the fact that he is 6^4. So I guess age ain't nothing but a number? SimplyG clarify :)

Babs has a post up about his VisualDNA I think we should all try it! And he is engaged! Another one bites the dust lol.

Bloggers have been meeting up left right and center! Even just yesterday, a group of them were at a bar in London. Nigerian bloggers, where are you guys!!! Actually I met up with a few, some you may not believe but I'm glad I met each one of them. Sorry I missed your call Biodun. It was nice meeting you, now I can put a face to the blog! Diamond is also in London.

I don't know how I can tempt my blog lover,Babaalaye, to return to blogsville but we all miss you boo. Don't mind those anonymous haters. For those who think we ran away together...keep thinking :)

While I was gone, Mr hilarious, Mr Fineboy aka Naijafineboy appeared in blogworld. I've been reading his posts and they are too funny. If you haven't yet, then you need to catch u. A belated welcome to blogsville NFB.

My blogger best friend Vera who by the way has been very lax in her duties as a friend... I will forgive all cos of all the planning she ha to do for her grandmas party. But first *hisssssssssss for 2hours*. Check out her pics from the party. And her boo is back with her Gala. (Forgive me while I silently puke. Gala ke Vera?.)

Olawunmi bagged himself a blog honey. Welcome to the virtual couples club. Congratulations London Buki, you even had girls sending you love notes. That's how to tell a HOT sizzling sista!

Ugo has a picture of a girl who 'hounds' him apparently. Let her catch you! I think she is quite cute though....then I scrolled down and read about Nacura.

Overwhelmed gave us gist about Kimor and the breakup. Hope you are doing alright love.

Temmy has a guy on her mind! Who is he? Will she tell?

Lagos bloggers, watch out for the new hospitality magazine directory, called the Lagos City Navigator. Apparently its excellent, I have to get a copy for myself. Thanks Anonymous :)

Blogville Gist- Edition 5

So obviously the juciest juicy jist is that I got serenaded by two blogger men. No my head isn't swelling, I'm just giving you the goss. So see the lovely poems here...Babaalaye and Boorish Male.

I accepted both their proposals, Baba's hand in blog marriage and Boorishes hand in offline friendship. Here is my engagement ring. Don't go blind now. Shield YA eyes.

Babaalaye and I plan to elope soon. We feel it is oh so much more romantic. We will have a party for you guys when we get back.

More juicy stuff. If you haven't been to Diamond Hawks page then you truly are not down with the 419 sorry 411. Blogger Bacholorette is going on. Who are the Bachelors. I have my guesses. Lol. I think I'm mostly right too.

It truly baffles me how cold it is abroad! Maybe I just forgot how long the winter lasts. Here are some bloggers who have documented the weather.Boso, Calabar Gal and Chxta

Aramide's guest discusses all the crazy things girls have done for guys. I personally haven't done anything crazy. Well going to a phonebooth at 2am in the morning to make a long distance call could count as crazy. LOLLLL!! I reminisce.

NaijaVixen tells us about whats going on this Val week.

Vicki makes up with her friend. So sweet!

Kulutempa had a hilarious video of two drivers quarelling in Nigeria. Especially for those who have missed the Nigerian accent.

Buki reveals her sexy eyes. They see 50% more than I can lollll. Love you Buki.

Biodun is coming home for NYSC. You are going to have a blast and meet loads of new people. It will make up for the frustrations you will face lol.

Confused Naija Girl is facing some serious opression. Good luck with that girl. I'm sure you are hot and confident enough not to be opressed this year.

MEME OF THE WEEK

Daddy girl has a three tag on her blog. Looks interesting.

Goodbye Belle. Its sad to see you go. You didn't even leave your blog for a while. Hope you saved it though. It could be good to reflect back on the person you were a few years down the line. Take care and stop by every now and then! You will be missed.
