Thanks to my peeps for your love and concern for my health. I am getting better but took a fall off a stair case. I am getting better too. I have a log of assignments to finish within a couple of weeks and I am also going for a training at Calabar for a week. This will make me MIA on blogville. Not to worry, I will miss you all and come back safely.... I have delayed passing on this fantastic award I received from Funkola and Brown Sugar (thanks ladies) to other 7 bloggers.

To the awardees. I love your blogs and I will like you to pass this on to another 7 bloggers.

Standtall ain’t feeling well at the moment. Used to have ulcer history but me think it’s never gone completely. I can’t delay any more. I have got to check it out.

I read Saturday Champion Newspapers that 3 female teenagers were killed somewhere in Pakistan where it was against their culture for a woman to choose her own husband. These girls chose their own husbands and the society made sure they paid for it. They were kidnapped, shot and buried alive with their injuries.

A politician defended this act, saying it’s their culture to perform this “honour killing”. Yes, he claimed it’s their culture or custom to kill any woman who dares to choose her husband. That is a community representative talking. 2 of the girls’ relatives that protested and defended the girls were killed as well.

Up till the time I read the news, no arrest has being made; no person has being pointed to as the killer. A human right organisation called Human Rights Watch is currently taking up this case. Why are we so heartless, why are we so backward? I get sicker reading this article.

King Mswati of Swailand in Sub-Saharan Africa was announced as the 15^th richest Monarch in the world. He is the only African on that list arranged boobs parade of teenage girls to choose his 14^th wife!!! Yes, 14^th wife.

His country is soaked in poverty but majority of the girls believe in this culture because it elevated them from poverty. Do they no better? No! I just don’t get it. I always wonder why we have leaders that are not responsible to their people. Leaders that will always want to exploit their people. He was even their in his regalia with his looking on saying to himself, I am the king!

N.B: My “Interview Thursday and “Cats Tuesday” will still be up. It might not be as regular but it’s something I don’t intend to stop. Keep expecting something GREAT!

My last post was Tuesday and that my dears, is a long time ago. I would have put up one more post before today but it was impossible for series of reasons

1. I was to interview Standtall Husband. But he had refused to be the next “Interview Thursday” guest. Now I am chasing him for the interview. I said I would reveal his blogging identity and he was not pleased with that. No problem, just grant this interview. But no, he has come up with all the excuses you can think of. He is not so pardoned right now
2. The endless rain of Thursday. I would have done something else but the rain sure showed me. I was to go for a program first then go to the office later. But I neither reached the office nor attend the program. I just merry-go-round till I got tired and returned home. Why? Traffic of course! I left one major traffic for another thinking it would be better to go that way. In the end, I wasted quality time rotating on a spot!
3. I had no access to my laptop on till yesterday. By then, I had got a lot of other things to deal with….

I am here wishing you a fabulous weekend. Mine is promising to be busy. I mean very busy.

Que: how many of you am I meeting at SBR come next Saturday? Hands up.

This is an initiative of Gattina.

Hi, my name is Scofield, I am Standtall’s first son. She is my first human pet. Yes, she is my pet. Anyway, I have 2 sisters Molly and Garfield. I impregnated them because it’s a taboo to marry outside our clan. We keep everything in the family. It’s our catitude inheritance.

Yes, Standtall my mother adopted all of us when we were about 8 weeks old. She is a sweet lady!!! She takes care of us till date. Our father Mr. Standtall is cool too. I am his favourite!!! Molly my sister (I will do a post about her another time) does not see eye to eye with our father. I still don’t understand why they both cannot get along. But Garfield is cool with daddy and mommy. She is currently playing a mother hen role by co-breastfeeding Molly’s kittens. She got attached to them after her kittens were weaned and gone. I missed them.
My first kittens!!! Now momma had neutered me and I can’t commit anymore. I would have loved to have more beautiful and handsome kittens to play with.

Momma said a lot of Nigerians don’t like cats and she would have to struggle to get good homes for the kittens. Why can’t we keep them? I asked and she said we don’t have extra space for them all. Why can’t we have more space? She said we just don’t!! You don’t have to snap mom, just an innocent curious question I asked!!!

My momma isn’t strict with us and we take advantage of that to the fullest. Just about now, I went to colonize her bed. She won’t mind but papa will be mad and chase me down.

Kinda like to enjoy this little nap since momma asked papa to let me be. Thanks you sweet momma. My human pet!!!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm, short but sweet nap. Lemme go and look for something to nibble at. Well, I wanna eat. Mommaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa am hungry…………
