Here's a picture of me and Tayo of www.tayoodukoya.com. We met at the finale of Idol WA, at Planet One, Lagos. My first blogger friend. Next is Mrs Somebody...
So what you say, what you say, what you say?
Yes oh! you're my first blogger friend, the first non-anonymous blogger I've met. BTW, where on earth did that picture of the ladies(?) in the river come from? Definitely not for real!!!
ReplyDeletePlease get rid of that pix. makes me throw up...arrgh!
ReplyDeleteYou need to take pics of the ladies off your blog. I do not want my 10 year old daughter to see it since I share your site with her. I really do love your site. We get the "E" News from Nigeria through your site.

ReplyDeleteAs for d NEA awards, i thought Stella D and Ramsey Nouah have both appeared in recent films after Dangerous Twins. Then also, Chamillionaire or whatever he's called hasn't confirmed dat he's naija, so why nominate him? It's just based on rumours. I hope Banky wins sha.
