Congrats to Uncle Yemi...he is an amazing man...an amazing man! May God grant him a very long life.
Very funny when i was in naija this past december...he was the only man that allowed my son sit down and mess up his office table...lol. As in my little boy was touching everything pressing things that he shouldnt be pressing...and trying to tear up paper...
My moms like, Bobby go grab that little man of yours and Dr. Yemi was just like..."Bobby leave him...let the boy play"
Just really down to earth guy man. Known him since i was about 3 years old.
Cool kat and has a wonderful family as well.
d hawk- do submit something for the book, please.
Bobby- He's been very good to me.
at first i was happy that you were going to present me with suya.. but then i thought twice
TO myself:
"Come oh storm... is this papi of an individual trying to make it seem like you're a carnivore? you better warn him!!!"
and then i thought to myself:
"No... he's just trying to let me know that he remembers his promise... and that i told him both of us with put let inside trouser if he forgets to keep it"
and then i said to myself:
"Oh ok... i forgive him... he can get the suya... but now i need some shweppes to go with it(hopefully they still produce that stuff)"
@ Storm- talk of a vacillating mind. My offer was a pure one, not a jibe at your carnivorous tendencies. hehehe.
They still do schweppes, Storm. I'll add a bottle to the mix. Someone once asked me if I'd ever thought of how they managed to make Bitter Lemon that sweet?
The things we drink...
