Ndatenda, Ngiyabonga,Jeref,Obrigado, Merci,Thank You Blogville for voting for moi! No, I don't have a Naija boyfriend but hey since I've been officially Nigerianized and an award to show for it (so no be story story or small ting o..na true talk were say Shona be the real deal o!Zimba girl fit talk like Naija babe!!)..lol..(sorry if my pidgin sucks)
Anyway, since m officially Nigerianised here are some commandments for all single females out there.... (i didn't make them just sharing so please don't crucify moi!) 30 Commandments to Marry a 9JA Man or is Bobo?
1. Thou shall NOT be a LONG TINS BABE (you know what I mean?) 2. Thou shall not lack in boobs, yansh and hips. If you must, please lack only one and find a way to make up for it. Pass 3. Thou shall NOT be a down to earth, real or ride or die chick. I.e all those ruff, rugged and raw "tell it as it is" girls, NOT WORKING. Fail for Shona 4. Thou shall not have dew hair (All those afro/afro-kinky "soul" sisters… FORGET IT). Pass (err before I go to the salon then its a fail!..lol) 5. Thou shall not be a non-church goer. Ladies, for extra credit, be an usher, Sunday school aunty or PRAYER WARRIOR (This applies to other religious sects) Well since m now a Sunday School teacher its a pass abi? 6. Thou shall not go to club to find husband... YOU GO JONZ!! True talk... 7. Thou shall not drink hard liquor or beers. Stick to 2 glasses of wine, IF YOU MUST DRINK ALCHOHOLLOL!!!!!!No comment...FAIL...
8. Thou shall not have un-manicured nails (It has to be French manicure acrylic nails). Amber on this one!! 9. Thou shall not have daddy issues (victims of divorced parents and dysfunctional families … keep it to yourselves). I love my daddy...no daddy issues so err PASS 10. Thou shall not go without makeup (i.e. caked foundation, studio fix but ensure that the make up has a natural look which is purple lip liner, pink lip gloss and chocolate/natural eye shadows) FAIL I guess coz I love my eye-colours..i mean MAC has so many so why choose the boring natural?? 11. Thou shall not lack culinary skills. Perfect the art of egusi, ogbono and all variations of rice. Home Economics is in order How can a Zimba girl like me know how to make egusi, et more? Afrobabe, Parakeet and Tigeress thank you for the lessons that are going to start now!! 12. Thou shall not be a "posh sturvs". Sushi or lasagne…uh ..Really? As much as I love my traditional foods I FAIL DISMALLY because I heart Sushi, one of my girls used to work for Yo!Sushi and boy did I think she was sushi on legs..everytime I saw her I wanted me some sushi! And I make a mean lasagne too 13. Thou shall not knack ya head when you have a weave. Futhermore, on no account should you be caught scratching and flicking the condiments into thin air. That is simply DISGUSTING. Fail - why would Mrs Beyonce Carter sing 'Pat ya weave girl, pat, pat, your weave' if not to show that's what we do???Abeggggg 14. Thou shall not do any strange degrees, such as development, journalism or medical genetics. Ladies, stick to law, engineering, accounting, business or pharmacy. Technically its a pass now coz I'm doing law..lol!! 15. Thou shall not have a sense of humour or try to even be funny (note: SARCASM IS A NO NO) FAIL DISMALLY!!! 16. Ultimately, thou shall not go past a first degree, maybe masters (PHD IS AN ABORMINATION) FAIL ONCE MORE because I intend to get a PHD!!!! 17. If thou must study a masters, please please, remember to dumb down when hanging with his friends. FAIL (And why should I let his friends think I'm dumb??) 18. Thou shall not disclose too much of yourself. You will seem needy PASS : I never let out much anyway... 19. Thou SHALL NOT have a sex life or sexual imagination prior to meeting him. Let him "teach" you. LMAO....FAIL!!! So no mention of HAPPY SEXING..LOL!! 20. Thou shall not listen to anything other than r'n'b or hip hop (common is pushing it). All you World music and rock chicks, NOT HAPPENING MATE). Come on now...so everyone shout with me FAIL!!!(Country music and co also lead to Failure!!) 21. Thou shall NOT an independent woman. (all those "I can pay my own bills" bullshit… Basically , LONG TINS). Refer to commandment one! FAIL!!!!!! 22. Thou shall not be opinionated or well informed (WARNING: This might come off as intimidating. Besides, no one likes a miss know it all). FAIL!!!!! 23. Thou shall not go to any obscure University. Please stick to Kent, Leicester, Nottingham, and Reading. (WARNING- YOU WILL END UP ALONE). LOL!! 24. Thou shall not be overly friendly. All those social butterflies and jovial. Personalities…BEWARE. lol!!! 25. Thou shall not be anti-social when it comes to his family. You have to GET IN THERE FULLY. I heart the families but..... 26. Thou shall not explore any originality when it comes to fashion. Stick to T.M Lewin, Hawes&Curtis, pointies or kitten heels, and jeans – Abortion belt always puts the icing on the cake. To complete the look, don't be seen without your thick framed rectangular glasses (YOU SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SPECSAVERS). I'm sorry but I don't do obvious...FAIL with a BIG F!!! 27. Thou shall not hunt in packs (warning to girls with bossom bodies that cant be separated Understandable but you do need a friend or 2 to hunt with 28. Thou shall NOT be loud. Keep your voice to a minimum always HARD to do sometimes so errr FAIL 29. Thou shall not appear to be having too much fun on the dance floor. When it comes to dancing, keep it simple (Dutty winders and grinders, ITS NOT HAPPENING). Yahooze dance, Rumba,Dombolo,Electric Slide all lead to FAIL!!30. Thou shall not think about breaking this next commandment. The ULTIMATE, IF NOT YOU ARE FINISHED....It Will be an OYO STATE (on you own) FOR YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.....LADIES PLEASE PLEASE AND PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THE BEDROOM WITH ANY WRAPPER, NIGHT SHIRT, WHITE TOP GEL OR SHELLY ON YOUR FACE.
If you must Do all the above, LADIES, BURN THOSE GOLD AND BLACK HAIR NETS. Girls, we are all guilty of owning a hair net or 2.Girls, we are all guilty of owning a hair net or 2. And we know that all the commandments before suggests that you must be a babe on POINT constantly. You have to FIND A WAY TO WORK AROUND THIS HAIR NET ISSUES. Statistics dictates that one in two marriages FAIL due to this.
OYO STATE I dey reside!!...lol...
Conclusion is I have only about 7 passes..LOL!!I'm hoping most guys don't work with them rules anyways...

I failed hopelessly at this too but whareva man, I feel this rules apply to the older genereation of Nigerians...more like my grandfather's time.

@Omo - Ndeipi sha!! U know what, you teach me a Naija language and I teach you Shona...DEAL!!..Hey I think those commandments were thought up by a guy who wanted to 'justify' his player status
LOL...7 out of 30...I actually did not realize u were not Nigerian...I wud have figured it out if I had only taken time to read ur past blogs since my first stop here but I didn't...it just gets hard reading thru pples archives with the amount of new stuff that keeps coming...Anyways congratulations on ur honorary naija status...
ciao
...H20
PS: I just took a lil peep at some of old stuff and I see the Vixen in u...I just wonder, how did the Vixen become a Sunday School teacher..:)
lol @ becoming Nigerianized. you're right, when it comes to fashion we just stick to mainstream. Don't know why!
And yes, we push it with the caked on make-up. Somebody help! We just love to look fab...our tragic flaw.
Shona, you have murdered me! Here i am sitting out at a client and one of my colleagues is a good old Naija boy and i am running him by all the rules and he's agreeing with most of them.
Emphasis on being a big church goer, lol.
Haba!!! so this is why all my nja boyfie's left me!!!!!! lol!
I failed 99.9999999999%...
I think i berra look for zim, gambian, camerounean, ghanian...infact the rest of the african continent because i no able carry these commandments heheheheh
Shona girl...you made me laugh me head off, now my boss thinks i am skiving!...ok i am actually skiving but now he knows, chei!

lol @ ur responses!
LOL. Now I know to stay away from Naija men. It wouldn't work.
Three gbosas for you...!!!
Hahahaha...my dear, that was a apt description of the expectations of most Nigerian men in London at least. And they themselves dont even measure up to half. God help us.
So girl what are we doing with Funms when she comes down?
lol....I failed most of them to.
Better start looking for a zim husband...
Read your note on facebook. Too funny. I am guilty of so many of the above kia..
Yes Shona, you are our adopted naija sister.
@H2O - hmmmm how did a Vixen become a Sunday School teacher...heeey its all about being a lady in the streets..u know the rest right ;)...and thanks to all those who've made me a honorary Naija..lol
@Gourmet - thank u darling!!Not to say sticking to the mainstream is bad, even most Zim girls do that as well!!And yes my future sister-in-laws are just as fabulous!!!..lol!!
@Vimbai - aaah sha-a inga unodizivawo...lol!!when I read it the first time I was laughing HARD coz it was a Naija guy who'd put up the note specifically for me coz apparently me n him are getting married this year..lol!!And yup they do love the church goers so i think i've got my green card for that one ..lol!!
@Wordmerchant - Jerejef my darling!!Hmmm my sista i think so too coz I can't keep up with those commandments as you can see i failed DISMALLY!!!Ok so this Nigerian cake, can't Afro make it and then when Funms comes over we have it for lunch????and u make some Gambian food??

lol...Shona!!! Your pidgin is even better than mine...
First of all, congrats for the award. I am so so happy you won that one...
As for ur ambers, what do you plan to do with them? Although 9 out of 30 is still not pass...
hey sweetie, im coming tomorrow and will be around for 3 weeks.... i'd send u an email now
@Rita - LOL!!Those ambers I have feeling would turn red and not green..lol!!!9/30 is so deplorable!!
@Funms - Yeah girl send me an email and we can hook up me, u , n Parakeet!!
Hey! Whoever wrote these commandments?
The stereotyping is annoying, believe me! Funny thing is, I don't think I'd go for a chica who got a pass score in this. Ironic but true...
And I never could figure it out but what's with the whole female/Ph.D issue? My future wife is going to get hers and more if she wants!
Congrats on the award and don't believe this crap. You've sure got Naija men falling all over you, I can assure you that...
Thou shall not be a "posh sturvs".
haha, i laughed so hard, this was a fantastic read
hahaha! I think I would fail far too many of those to even try
Congrats on your award.
If you do have a 9ja BF, I am sure he will love you with the 7 passes. Even we 9ja women dint pass all 30.
lmao!! priceless...does it mean i'm too americanized since i didn't get up to half marks on these commandments?
That was too funny!!
At long last, I figured out why it didn't work out with my Nigerian boyfriend... I probably only had like 4 or 5 PASS! Lol!!!
Shona,
You could very easily pass for a 'naija chic', your 'broken' isn't too bad.
Would loooove to actually hear you say the words (with the Zim accent tho).
Nice.
Per the commandments, God knows I like a lotta full blooded naija bobos love a sista looking good 24/7...constant turn on.
However, you quickly learn this aint the case ad you add some to ur 'compromise list'
lol
Speechless hun!
VERY FUNNY!
Hilarious. Not bad!
Crazy rules!
Dem never serious,lol...
....an analysis yet to be vetted *wrong* (oops,...).
No masters ke, what means thee? You better get the Ph.D if you can.
For me, NO Nigerianized, natural born Naija, or Zimba Women. Too much wahala. I prefer chicks from Afghanistan or Mars.
Ada di mma, dalu. Let me Igbonize you as you have now officially been declared a Nigerian
I soooooooo agree with the 'dont be loud in public commandment' but for BOTH sexes. I cant stand people who are overly loud it just comes across as soo uncouth/uncultured. You are in a cocktails bar and you hear this girl/boy going haw haw haw haw haw on top of his/her voice its just so wrong, I will be thinking what the heck is that funny? Sometimes you can see everyone in the bar turning to look. So yeah sometimes some people need to tone it a notch down.
Wow! Seven out of thirty is F9 in Nigeria. Dont worry, not all of us judge women by such bizzare standards. "It doesn't matter where you come from, as far as you're a black woman."
Congrats on your award Shona, you truly deserve it!
Now you're a honorary Nigerian...come to think of it, i thought i had you on my blog list, adding you sharpish!
Have a nice week ahead!
oh my word this is sooooooooooooo funny
fo real
i think i fail a couple myself
Babe i'm sure your mojo hasn't gone anywhere. It's just on vacation:-)
Congratulations on your award!!!
And based on that list, no 9ja man for me cuz I have offended seriously...lol.
PS: I love that Mary Mary song, 'God in Me'...infact you just made my sunday morning upbeat:-)
Shona: do we have to send a rescue party to sniff you out or something? Update!
Lmao! You failed woefully on that one babe. Don't worry, not all guys follow those commandments so you're safe. I sawear if you didn't mention you weren't Nigerian, I wouldn't have known. I love your blog by the way and I'll be sure to keep an eye out for your mojo.
so hard to believe you are not Nigerian
