8 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT ME.

So I finally get to do one of the most popular memes in blogville. Am going to tell you guys 8 things about me right about now! So here you go!!

1. I am a real princess. Yea like my dad is an HRH (His royal highness); a traditional ruler of one small town like dat somewhere in Eastern Nigeria. But u see, unlike it is portrayed in ‘Coming to America’, I don’t get bathed by hand maidens or have people bowing down to greet me when I go to my hometown, instead am forever cooking and serving the endless stream of people coming into the palace under the guise of greeting the EZE(King) whereas all they want is to eat free food. Those my people eh! They need to be taught a lesson or two on how a princess should be treated, lol.

2. I am a big cry baby! I admit it! I can cry!!! Even Nkiru Sylvanus in Naija home movies no cry reach me o!
While growing up, my brothers gave me the name-‘Leaking Tap’ cos I would cry over anything. I especially didn’t like being talked harshly to, even up till now i cant stand it. These days I try as much as possible to put up a hard front, u know hard babe style but inside am really a softie.








3. I love music especially love songs. Not for me rap and all that hard core stuff (Pardon me DOG). I have quite a collection of R&B, Soft Pop, Slow rock and all.
Yea, u guessed right. Am a hopeless romantic with my head in the clouds, lol.





4. I almost became a nun. Like u know, a reverend Sister. I had a huge crush on my parish priest then (typical me, always falling for the unavailable) and I didnt think there was any other life for me other than being a Reverend sister so I could always be near him(Talk about misplaced priorities). I was even ready to go without any for the rest of my life.
Fortunately just as I was preparing to begin my postulancy(The first year in the convent), I got admission into the university and I was advised by the Reverend mother to go on to the university first and after graduation if I still wished to be a nun, I would continue. Am sure she must have seen it in me then that I wasn’t cut out for that life cos it didn’t even take me the first year in the University to wash off every notion of wanting to be a nun from my head. I had gotten over my crush and stopped hearing the call. lol.
If I had gone ahead by now una for dey call me Sister Princess, lol.





5. I am crazy about perfumes. Nice designer perfumes o! No be Saturday night!lol. I have like a perfume for every day, for my moods, for different occasions.
If u be guy and u want toast me, just spray a nice smelling cologne and u don get me be dat. Ok Ok maybe not that easy sha but a nice smelling dude will always get a plus from me.








6. I hate odours. I so cant stand mouth odours, body odours, any kind of odour at all. No matter how fine a guy is, if he has some form of odour. He is a total NO! NO!










7. I no sabi pose o! No matter how hard i try, I just cant! Am like the realest(if there is a word like dat), most down to earth person you can find sometimes to a point of being razz sef. I have no problem with standing by the road side to buy bole(roasted plantains) and groundnut in my Gucci shoes(yes o! I wan pose small too na!)





8. I am a dreamer! As in dreaming while sleeping. Just as soon as I lay my head on my pillow, I start to dream. I can have like 10 different dreams in one night, make that 20 when I have malaria.
Not only that, most dreams I have in the early hours of the morning usually come to pass so if i dream bad thing about you, you get to like do 7 days fasting to cancel am O!

Phew! Finally done. That wasn’t easy! See as man pikin dey crack brain to remember something about imself.

Am tagging manda, anibodude, la reine and pammy. Its ur turn next to tell us 8 random things about urselfs.
