The Ramblings of A Nigerian Mom

  Firstly, I sincerely and somberly apologize for bailing on you. *mentally stares down at feet, hands folded behind back* Been more than a month and believe me, it has been crazy but thankfully, we are still standing and breathing. Thanks be to God, again. I love you guys, especially those who have been concerned, those who reached out to find out what was happening and those who have been goading and prodding me, ever so gently. You know yourselves and I am ever so grateful for your friendship which transcends this virtual divide.

So the kids and I were on our way back home from dropping off some ordered items on Saturday morning when we stopped at a traffic light. Y'all know elections are round the corner here in Nigeria, so expectedly there are different pictures of different suave looking gentlemen flung in our faces regardless of our political orientation.

Source It is no longer news that Innocent Idibia aka Tuface and Annie Macaulay celebrated their traditional wedding last weekend neither is it news any longer that the state governor of Akwa Ibom promised the couple a car gift during the celebration. What is news however is the fact that the car gift has finally been handed over to the couple as promised by the state governor. Personally I have no issue with Tuface & Annie accepting this gift, a gift is afterall what it is..a gift and a symbol of the goodwill and loving heart of the giver.  Also bearing in mind that it was unsolicited and Tuface could very well procure any vehicle(s) of his choice without batting an eyelid, I still find it difficult to put the pieces together.
