Saturday. Dawn. ML is headed to work. All our four kids are out of the house, gone back to school. The house is quiet and we are empty nesters, as they say in America. Well, not quite. My niece IB is here from Nigeria, a feisty 11-year old. She is full of life, asks a question a minute, and each answer births another question. She has the whole house to explore, it is interesting, it's been a while since ML and I had a child that young. She is very close to her mother, my little sister, they are like twins, but she sees ML and I and she takes off in our direction peppering us with questions and observations. She knows a lot, she shared with us that North Korea has nuclear weapons and is about to use it!!! We all rejected that prediction and said nuclear war is not our portion, IJN! She missed "Big Mummy", and wanted to know why "Big Mummy" was at work on Saturday while I was at home doing nothing, "That's not fair," she whined. πΆ
How do you entertain an 11-year old? You leave her to her own devices. And she helps herself to your devices. She loves electronics, cellphones and tablets, she avoids laptops. I think she prefers Apple products to Androids. She only played with my Android tablet for an hour; she and my old iPad have been inseparable, they go to bed together. She has an advanced knowledge of these things, downloading games and scoffing at America for not having Naija Ludo π.
Let's see, IB and I have been to the Farmer's market to buy corn and stuff, but she prefers ML to me. I asked her to go out with me the second day she got here and she took one look at me and said she would go out with "auntie." They went out and had a rollicking time with "Auntie" and her purse. "Auntie" is now "Big mommy!" π She wants her own phone. I have told her that at her age, I would never have dared to ask for my own phone. In the country of Africa, when I was a child in the sixties, cellphones were reserved for elders. This is going to be a long journey...
Betcha can't do it like her!! NOPE!!!

BOBO TAKE OVER
Memories. December 2017. #TheNiece, fresh into America from Nigeria lectures two medical students and Fearless Fang on life in the βSick Bayβ when you have βApolloβ aka conjunctivitis in her boarding school in Nigeria. The two girls rolling on the floor laughing are third year medical students, including her cousin, our daughter Netter_Shoks. Our son Fearless Fang is chuckling. American kids donβt get this.
So the other day, I was honored to be at The University of Maryland to witness my niece's Honor's College citation ceremony. This ceremony is reserved for the cognitive elite, the talented tenth of the university and since #TheNiece joined us here eight years ago from a Unity school in the outskirts of Abuja she has excelled as one of Nigeria's finest exports.
#NotSoHumbleBrag. In all the time #TheNiece has been here, she has not gotten a B, mostly thanks to the fear of her Nigerian mother's feedback, who wan die? She is currently a junior at the University, a Banneker Key Scholar with a full scholarship and a stipend, studying two degrees at once - The degrees are Criminology & Criminal Justice, and Finance. This merit scholarship is highly coveted and reserved for just a handful of youngsters in a university that is regarded as a public Ivy League school,
At the end of the ceremony, we posed for several pictures, I half-heartedly asked her if she would love to go out to dinner, hoping she would say no (I am a retiree please!). She said, "Yasss!! Yayyyyy!" SMH!
I brought her flowers and Kilishi. She loves her mom Ikheloa Ihoeyan Tina, her uncle (me!), books, kilishi and good food. Oh, and she loves dollars too, lol smh!
Iβm having a momentβ¦

Hanging out with #TheNiece who is home from college. Sheβs trying to bill me (Hi! #BigDaddy!! I got all As this semester!!β SMH!). She wants to work for me this winter break (two miserable weeks) and she wants to be paid! SMH!! I have suffered. I think she needs a real job where they pay well. I have promised her a copy of Princess Chalya Miri-Gazhiβs lovely little book The Job Hunterβs Blueprint to hone her job hunting skills! Pray for me!
PS: Please buy the book. Read it. Give it to folks to read. Onugo knows, after this expensive Christmas season, people like will need jobs instead of hitting my DM with βPaaaa! hi!β It is well! Read and share!
