Last year, I remembered this blog’s birthday two days after. This year its exactly 10days after. Oh my. Am I loosing my memory, or the fact that blogging has become my second nature just makes me to hit the “publish” button everytime without remembering where I am publishing to.

Once again, thanks to the Almighty God for making me to discover blogging as a second nature. At first, it was a way to let out some steam. Now, I’m running over 10-blogs.

Thanks to all the people at WordPress.com. How I wish I could be like you – come up with an idea to benefit so many people.

Last year, we had 916 posts and 5,806 comments. As of this writing, we have 1,155 posts and 7,109 comments; and Akismet has been extra wonderful in protecting this blog from about an additional 25,000-spam, as compared to last years reading of 28,620. Wow.

Here are some highlights for 2011:

It looks like when God was allocating talents to different parts of the world, its either he allocated us(Nigerians) or perhaps we specially requested for the corruption and financial scamming talent. Check out Tobechi Onwuhara. Unfortunately what happens at home happens abroad, and the Nigerian environment is one where you cant be too concerned about what goes on around you. What do you do when your neighbors are street fighters?

While the above goes on, some black Nigerians are running abroad for greener pastures and the white ones are running back home. White Nigerians? are you serious?

Medley: Save our Souls, thou King of Heaven, from the naked breast baring ladies at our banks …. ransom us, restore, forgive us, as we pack our bags and run back home.

Corruption is like a national anthem in Nigeria, you donnt sing it you are not patriotic. This is because when abnomality stays around for too long it will suddenly becomes a norm. The Nigerian followership is as bad as the leadership. It is only divine cleansing that can save us from ourselves.

The above a reaction from somebody on why Nigerians celebrate corruption.

Talaq Talaq Talaq, I really want to divorce my wife. I dont like her anymore because there are many pretty ladies out there, but not before I raugh at Mrs Jonathan on the microphone. I am thinking if divorce and polygamy are really really right or wrong, and what exactly to do with my wife, someone says he is gay Christian, born again, and still worse, Nigerian for that matter. God forbid, where is former President Olusegun Obasanjo? he should jail all these people. Then someone said “same sex marriage is not a criminal offense in Nigeria“. Good point!, but Naija no be America o.

Nigerian history 101: who is a Nigerian? While I thought on these things, I went by my window for some freshair and saw something I didn’t plan to see. Ooops!

If I was a woman, I would be an activist. Question: Why do grooms wear nice suits, why do their brides wear see throughs at weddings? and why are vows made on the basis of: “till death do us part“, rather than on the basis of till one of us kills the other first. Why is it that nobody bothers about the source of the “death”.

I watched many movies in 2011 – the best of which is never been kissed. Why? because the movie is so me.

If I was a woman, I would be an activist. I would organize programs against European Embassy’s in Nigeria who give work visa’s to our women to go abroad and become prostitutes. But just before I lauched my campaign, someone reminded me to take a look at Nigerian girls at our Universities. When I did, I said sssshhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

Boko Haram became a Nigerian household name in Nigeria: one, two, three, four. As of this writing, it is still an household name. So, the next time you see a Nigerian at the airport, he might be on assignment from Osama. Only God knows their next bomb target.

Akoba, adaba, olorun ma je ka a ri o is the conclusion of Baba Suwe’s 2011 yansh flusing exercise.

And could somebody pls tell everybody to stop asking me the question: are you married? I have run out of answers, pls.
