"I get all carried away, let me tell you a little about myself. I'm pretty sure you have met my friends, and they have all described me as bubbly. Indeed, I am bubbly, but most times, I only appear to be bubbly. Austin proposed to me after we found out I was pregnant with our daughter, Ekanem. He claims that he would have proposed even if I wasn't pregnant; I know I only accepted his proposal because I was pregnant..."

December 25th is upon us once again. This annual hugely popular international event commemorating the unique birth of our Lord and Saviour over two thousand years ago calls for joy indeed...
It is our duty to at all times express our support to those of our children who manage to occasion grand exploits despite the inhibitions inherent in our society...
