If You Are Stranded, Do What She Did...

I know that I sha said I would update you with Independence day gist a long time ago, but life has interfered with my ability to update this blog. Now that I have some free time...

It has come to my attention that a certain female who was visiting NY during the Independence day festivities, was willing to trade herself for a car ride because she couldn't figure out any other way to get home. A CAR RIDE. A NORMAL person would have figured out a way to get to their hotel/wherever without involving sex in the matter.

Apparently, after the party was done in Manhattan and she needed a way to get to Brooklyn, she resorted to her one marketable asset. Herself. Madam, who resides on the West Coast, is actually a well known figure in Facebook circles. Members of Naija-centric groups know her and many of us may have even seen her e-beefing techniques first hand. She is renowned for fighting people through Facebook status updates, and her modus operandi consists of deleting people in a fit of anger and then adding the person back days later.

Anyway, I am not writing about her because of her Facebook activities (most recently she had a very public blowout with awon East Coast Photographer Extraordinaire). I am writing about her because this girl decided that the only way to get home after the party was to sleep with somebody!

Imagine this scenario: she was visiting NYC and for one reason or another the friend she was staying with had abandoned her, or she abandoned the friend. Either way, lights on in the club and she is stranded. So, whats a girl to do? She decided to hit up some of the men in the club and finally found one stupid enough to give her a ride. The guy no dey fear oh! So, this "good samaritan" told her that he would take her home, but guess what? They didn't go to her place...oh no. They went to his, and the rest is history. Apparently madam was so eager to do the deed that he had to push her off him (or so he says).

At this point I am just really saddened by this madness. I thought people would have learned that the NYC/NJ area is notoriously full of manwhores and a**holes of the kiss and tell variety. Why couldn't she find another way to get home? DAMN. The guy in question is not even that fine.

Another thing that bugs me is the fact that she is from the West Coast. I dont know what is going on over there, but I keep hearing stories about Naija girls over there and their hoe-ish ways. Sleeping with guys for lace front wigs, designer handbags, and dinner at Applebees. Is it that serious? Girls are trying to live lifestyles of the rich and famous by sleeping around? What kind of rubbish is that?

This girl that I am talking about has been named before on this blog. You would think she has learned to keep stuff under wraps or put this craziness on hold. Na wah oh.

Guess Who's Back...Just In Time for Independence Day!!

Dear Fans,

I missed you guys! Actually its just that there hasn't been a big naija event to cover for a while. But, we all know that the Nigerian Independence Day festivities shall be ongoing around the country in about a week! Why should we miss this opportunity to see even more madness?

Where have I been? I've been around!...Did you think the blog would disappear? Sorry to disappoint you. After I left I was still getting random emails from people telling me to take their pics down, and luckily for them, the internet has seen fit to take care of that. My technological skills only extended far enough to save the posts and comments. You can see the old posts here and at our old address. Sorry abt the pics oh! But I think the comments were more fun anyway.

I know that I inspired some of you to start your own blogs and spread gist far and wide, and I am so proud of you for trying. But now its time to make way for the original--at least for a while, before I disappear again. Also, to correct something, I hear ppl were ruminating (fun word) about me being from NJ? And my answer to that is, "HOW DARE YOU INSULT ME?!!" You think I'm from the toxic waste headquarters of the US?! Abeg oh!! My heart lives firmly in the Midwest (see? I'm even giving hints).

Anyway I'm back because there is yet another Nigerian event where people will have the opportunity to end up on this blog. I know I said I would wait for next year's reunion, but with this opportunity coming, why bother? So, ladies and gentlemen, stay tuned to see what kind of excitement we can expect--all in the name of celebrating our country's independence. I don't expect it to be a lot, since there are fewer events, but for all of you out there--don't forget you can send me an e-mail at: naijareuniongist@gmail.com

I'm really looking forward to seeing gist from the NYC and Baltimore/DC celebrations because those seem to be attracting the most attention. I will not be at all these events/places, but I'm sure someone will let me know what happened.

Sincerely,
Naija Gossip Girl
naijareuniongist@gmail.com

PS: Word on the street is that many of the guys that were put on blast last time on the blog awon "NYC/NJ big bois" aka "ladies men" aka "manwhores" shall be at the NYC events. Also, some of the ladies whose names were thrown around on the blog. So, make una stand ready with the cameras oh! I'll be needing those pics!!

Ok, Ok, OK!

Ladies and gentlemen, I am so happy to see that you all enjoy my blog so much that you have decided to make multiple trips to the blog to insult each other. Please remember that the point of the blog is to talk about the Nigerian Reunion and things that happened there, not to name every one of your enemies. If you want to talk about who you slept with then by all means continue.

This bashing is a bit one sided! No one is really talking about the men in question. If you think a girl is a whore what about the men sleeping with her? This just shows what has always been my problem with Naija females. We really do hate each other this much! Some of you are only just finding out on this blog--but I have known since I was about 13years old. Its why I knew that if I asked for gossip this blog would explode and spread like wildfire. Its the kind of mentality that causes a woman to find out her husband/boyfriend cheated on her and instead of attacking the man and his lover, she attacks only the lover and excuses the boyfriend/husband. Ladies its time to stop hating on each other. Social experiment complete.

To the arrogant females thinking I made this blog because I am one of their "haters"--I have NEVER EVER heard of any of you that are being discussed on this blog. Are you really that vain (and stupid) that you think someone started a blog about you and your "clique"? Abeg!

To the people threatening to shut down this blog instead of searching their friends and trying to figure out who is putting their business out there. Do you now see why it is not wise to have 2000 friends on your PERSONAL Facebook. If you have a business then sure, but you can't really think every one of those 2000 people has your best interests at heart?

Some of you come on here and act like adults. Those people have my respect. Some of you e-mail me and ask me (like normal people) to take things down and I agree because you have asked me without being an "e-thug" and "threatening" me. Others think bullying is the best option, but I have advice for you. This is not Nigeria where you can threaten your way to achieving success. You are not the government and you cannot make me take down something I don't want to without a court order.

To the ladies that are being mentioned on the blog so few of you see the actual problem here. You have too many Facebook friends and not enough real friends. You are sleeping with the kind of men who WILL kiss and tell. I am not saying you are whores, I am saying that perhaps you are not being careful and selective enough with your "social" decisions!

To the "men" (and I use that term lightly) who come on here and tell us who they slept with...congratulations. Whether or not you are telling the truth I'm glad to see that some Naija men are as immature and stupid as I expected. To those "boys" (and I'm using "boys" because that is what they are) who are actual manwhores, maybe its time to pick one girl and settle down for a bit? Stop messing around so much that people in 3 states (maybe 4) know your business!!!

To the ladies and gentlemen who come on here and accuse other people of being whores, you better all be virgins! Just because your business isn't on this blog doesn't mean people aren't talking about you too!

To everyone, I'm out. Its been a fun time! This blog was only meant to last a few days but thanks to you it has gone on for this long. I am leaving it up because I will be back next year and it has been an interesting experience. I am not deleting any comments/pics/whatever unless one of you e-mails me a subpoena (or a really good story why I should). I am sorry for the innocent people who are being accused of whatever.

Hopefully we will not have repeat offenders next year.

Who Are These People?!!

For those of you who were insulting this blog, apparently I have fans. Either that, or somebody is trying to get back at somebody else for something that happened at the reunion. It is more likely option 2, but regardless I am willing to be the medium! Abeg no insult me! I didn't take these pictures it was another anonymous tip. Enjoy...


I am not sure if this was a health emergency or comedic opportunity. Why is she lying on the ground? Who is the person taking pics instead of helping her? Why isn't she wearing shoes? Is that a shower cap on her head? So many questions!



Aww what a cute couple, but wait isn't that her with another guy in the picture below?


Its the same girl! I hope there was no R.Kelly & Usher action going on! I think this guy is from NJ and I remember seeing him around the events. He looks drunk.


This isn't such a bad pic. Why do these girls look so happy. Don't they realize that these are not the kind of pics they want in the hands of others? One can only imagine how the evening ended for our foursome.

Does anyone else get the feeling that these guys took the pics of each other? Lol.

Here is the message that came with the e-mail I received:

some sloppy drinker---a girl that has class and respects her self shud neva drink to this point and some wowo chicks----- how do u allow random dude be grabbing ur booty and kiss kissing u like that. and u go from one guy to the next...then u will pose for pictures that u know will end up on the nets lmbo. nawa.

Na wah indeed! I don't know these people, but from the e-mail I guess they didn't know each other either! But isn't that the point of the reunion? Drinking a lot, making new "friends", letting them grab your ass, and then posing for pictures afterwards!
Yes. If you didn't make it to this year's reunion then start saving up for next year. Who knows? You too could get a piece of the action.

Did You See The Mercedes G Wagon At The Reunion?

To Mr FrankGzee, I don't know you!! Please don't embarrass me by claiming to know me! Also, stop using my blog to promote your shitty music.

Since things have calmed down its time to get back to the point of the blog: Gossip.

Now, stories (and I reiterate these are stories) have surfaced that people were hooking up left and right at the reunion. Also certain comments on previous posts have prompted me to investigate the veracity of such rumors. I am happy to report that my Naija people did not disappoint at all! Remember I said this reunion was like spring break. What is one of the hallmarks of spring break? Hookups of course!

My favorite story from the reunion has been told to many people--including yours truly. Hopefully none of you readers was a victim of "Mr. Benz" (not his real name).

Apparently Mr. Benz rented a Mercedes G Wagon and a hotel room at the Mirage for his stay in Las Vegas. Then he would show up at Alexis Park for events, "casually" drop the name of his hotel and then endeavor to show girls his car. Not every girl fell for his rubbish, but he was still very successful in getting girls to go back to his hotel room to "do the deed". I'm talking different girls every day kind of successful.
If you see this car...make sure to keep your legs closed!

Let me say that whoever these girls are...they need help. Its the MIRAGE and a RENTAL Benz!!! If you must be a gold-digger why not do your research first? The Venetian, Wynn Las Vegas, and The Bellagio are the most expensive hotels in Vegas. Why not hookup with some one spending serious money so that we can perhaps excuse your gold-digging behavior?

Not that there is any real excuse for such behavior. To hear the guys talk about their hookups at the reunion, one would think that Naija girls are easy. We are not! I heard guys use the term "eager to please", "easy", "desperate", etc. in reference to their hookups at the reunion. Ladies! What is going on? A guy on the East Coast said he was able to manage threesomes during his time at the reunion (I really wish he would come and explain how that happened).

Of course this isn't one-sided oh!! If these girls are "hoes" then the guys are "man-hoes". After all it takes two to have a one night stand. With all the man-hoes wondering around, I am once again annoyed at the women who went there to find husbands! What a waste of their time!

From what I am hearing, all a guy had to do to get laid at the reunion was start a conversation with a girl, get an invitation to her room (or invite her to his) and then smooth talk his way into her pants. Having seen the "smooth talk" of Naija guys in action, I am wondering how on earth that happened. How does your first conversation with a guy somehow finish up in bed? What magical words did he use? I really wish I understood. Can someone help me!

For Goodness Sake!

The amount of craziness I have seen exhibited by some blog visitors has prompted me to start moderating comments. Some of you need to CALM DOWN.

First and foremost, Ms. Ebo's picture was used to show my point (made earlier) that some girls were wearing really short dresses (or shirts as dresses). I only used it because she can be seen pulling her dress down in the picture obviously to protect herself from a wardrobe malfunction. Which is apparently "what any decent, and sane lady would do if she was lap dancing a dude with a dress on" (seriously, who wrote that?).

If I had received any other pictures showing a girl in a very short dress pulling her dress down then I would have used it. This is not a personal attack. I do not know Vanessa and I do not care who she is. Whatever drama she has been having in her life culminating in me receiving this picture--does not concern me! So whoever wrote, "o venessa im guessing u took the dude she had an eye for and she almost killed herself" can rest assured that this is not the case.

For people fixating on the part in the post where I mention driving to the reunion and money to buy well fitting dresses...again this was directed at people who actually drove to the reunion and then wore shirts as dresses.

I find it amazing that people are getting fixated on this picture. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE SHOWN ON THIS BLOG. There are the unfortunate dancers from a couple of posts, some blonde weaved lady, other people with real reason to be annoyed because I SPECIFICALLY called them out. The only comment I made concerning Ms. Ebo was that her hair looks nice. This blog isn't about YOU Vanessa, its about the Nigerian Reunion and stuff that happened there--don't flatter yourself. Nobody would know who you were if you hadn't put your name on blast here.

For the brilliant person who wrote: "I will have your website shut down if you keep posting falsified and fabricated information about this young lady. Trust me, i pull major strings. Have a good day."
Please explain the "false and fabricated information" about Ms. Ebo? These major strings you pull are they connected to the stick shoved far up your a**? Cos it needs to be pulled out.

Ms. Ebo I really don't understand why you had to come and put your name on here and then bring your "attack squad" to keep commenting as if this is some sort of "e-girlfight". This wasn't about you! (or Rasheed for that matter). If your friends recognized you then you could have explained how much of a "bitch" I am to them and ended it there. Now you have your full name on here so that if you ever get Googled this will pop up. Good job.

As one of the "wise Vanessa defenders" said "word of advice,Vegas is over....quit being bitter and move on..." perhaps its time for some of you to look through your Facebook privacy settings and check what you are sharing with the world. I am just a symptom of a bigger problem--Facebook gone wrong!

Thank you all for entertaining me this weekend.

Candid Pik-shure!

As I mentioned in an earlier post, there was a disturbing trend in Las Vegas of wearing shirts as dresses, this is the kind of "clothing" we were subject to.
I heard some people drove all the way from the East coast for this reunion! I would have thought that after you saved $300 on airfare, you would have enough money to buy CLOTHES THAT FIT.

THERE USED TO BE A PICTURE HERE BUT I TOOK IT DOWN

Ladies. If you need to hold your dress down whilst you get down then perhaps its time to stop wearing the dress.

Why can't we learn?! Lindsay Lohan, Britney, Paris, these are not role models! They have flashed their hoochies and made sacrifices that we might learn from them. I don't want to see your v-jay-jay/underwear every time you dance!

Night of 1001 Laughs (pics)

This might be one of the only events that lived up to its name during the entire reunion. The host (Seyi Brown) was FUNNY, and I found it hilarious that he focused so much on Igbo people during the evening. Igbo Kwenu!

Anyway, aside from the host (who was cute but sadly for us married with a child), there were performances from:

Ngozi something?-she was very pretty and has a great voice. Unfortunately she had to sing the AMERICAN national anthem at a NIGERIAN event. She did a good job, but there was much laughter and disturbance during her performance.

The lady doctor/gospel singer from the earlier "Talent Show": who was supposed to sing the Nigerian national anthem but messed up the 2nd line that goes: "To serve our fatherland". When this happened, the people sitting around me burst into laughter and someone muttered that Ms. lady doctor must not have been back to Nigeria for A WHILE. (pic below)

Naija Boys-they did a few of their songs and maintained their promise of "African Thriller"...it wasnt a bad performance, but I've seen all their stuff before so I wasn't blown away.

Michael Blackson-who is still as vulgar as ever. I didn't find him very funny and he definitely needs new material as far as his "I am so black you can't see me at night" jokes.

Jedi-who took us down memory lane with his jokes. Remember these commercials? When Jedi offered to perform one of his songs, apparently he is also a singer, some girl in the audience yelled "No!" and when he heard her, he actually came up to her and sang the song to her. I thought that was a very cute way to save face without embarrassing the poor girl.

Some Guy-I dont know who this guy is, but apparently people think he is cute. I don't get it, but whatever. He was the one who did some MJ moves? As you can see, I was not sufficiently impressed with his performance to remember even his name.

Mike Okri-some of you are going to shoot me for saying this, but I don't like his music. However I wasn't in the minority at the reunion so ha!! Anyway, when he performed his first song "Troubled Girl", a "troubled woman" came up on stage (see pic below) to dance with him. I don't know who she was or where she came from, but the razzness she exhibited with her blond weave and scary black pseudo-hooker outfit was beyond belief.

PS: There was a "red carpet" at this event. So camera-lovers had a chance to shine this night. I'm sure the pics will be online soon. Then you can see what people were wearing. I loved some of the african attire with modern twists. I have to say, people looked nice. Some guy came out looking like he was trying out for the Igbo chieftancy part in a Nollywood movie. He even had the "whistle" and blew on it repeatedly during the event. Igbo Kwenu!



I really don't know what to say about this woman. First, nobody wanted her on stage! Should I start with her makeup? The horrible jumpsuit-leopard print outfit? The blonde weave? (And you know she wasn't the only one rocking horrific blonde weave at the reunion). If you had seen these two up on stage trying to bump n' grind you might have left immediately. This lady is really one of those "visa miss road" people.



"Some guy" who sang some song and did some acrobatics or something. I still don't know his name, and I've stopped caring.

DAMN YOU NRC!

These organizers have annoyed me oh!! I thought there was an "Independence Cookout" going on today, but it was apparently a "Talent Show". So there was no food! What rubbish!

I saw Nigerian "rappers" from MD--what is in the water at College Park bikokwanu? Why does every guy there wanna be a rapper? Nigerian Salsa Dancers--just be happy if you missed that. Also, some lady doctor (she is an actual doctor) who was singing gospel music--though as I was watching the performance I had to ask multiple times if it was gospel music because some of her dance moves were..."interesting". Anyway, I was annoyed at there being no food so I ended up leaving to hunt for food.


Naija Salsa Dancers-God help us


Naija "rappers" from College Park....that school eh, I wonder if anyone takes actual classes there or it's just Hip-Hop. I should also add that Mr. "I don't know what a Gondola Is" (from speed dating) is the guy on the right. P.S: Why is the guy in the middle posing like he smelled something bad? Must be all the bullsh*t from their rap!


The lady doctor who later forgot part of the Nigerian National Anthem at Night of 1001 Laughs and partially destroyed my eardrums with her high pitched voice.

Desperately Seeking Husbands.

Consider this combination: bible verses, yelling, pastors, pum-pum shorts, tons of makeup, and desperate single females. This was the scene that greeted us when we went into the RCCG Dating "talkshow". We all thought that it would be an ACTUAL talk show, but it turned into church.

There were 3 pastors on stage preaching about the virtues of abstinenence before marriage (ha! who does that?) and other "bible-y" things. Since the dating talk show had turned into a preaching session (that hurt my ears with all the constant yelling) I felt a need to step out and discover what was going on in the hotel lobby. It was the usual scene of naija girls and guys loitering around trying to find "partners" for the night.

Anyway, I went back into the "church session/dating show" to discover the pastor talking about marriage. As I looked around me at the females nodding their heads in agreement, I couldnt help but notice the irony of the moment. 60% of these girls were dressed as if they were about to head out to a party after the event. I know, I know, Vegas is hot. The pum-pum shorts are for "heat's sake". But, if the rest of us are satisfied with the shorts we have on, why must yours be SHORTER? When you dress like you want a one-night stand are you surprised that you aren't married yet?

Sha, the pastor told the "gathering" that if they wanted to get married within the year, they should step up to the stage for prayer. To my amazement, and everlasting disappointment, MANY OF THE GIRLS STOOD UP. In fact I think only about 5 of us out of more than 40, didn't go up to the stage to "pray for a husband".

I feel bad for these girls, because 99% of the guys at the reunion are NOT looking for girlfriends, talk-less of marriage. Out of the remaining 1%, probably 0.75% have girlfriend's or wives. So, good luck with the remaining 0.25%.

My sisters kilode?!! What is with the rush to get married? It isn't all its cracked up to be! Why the rush?

The Speaker of the Nigerian House of Reps is a DOUCHEBAG

I am not sure how many of you actually showed up to hear Dimeji Bankole a.k.a. "Douchebag" talk, but I was driven to alcohol by the rubbish that he was saying. I had to remove myself from the room sometimes to refrain from shouting insults at him (and possibly ending up on a Nigerian terrorist watch list). Mr. Bankole was condescending, arrogant, rude, and annoying to listen to with his "British accent". I am happy to report that many of us reunion-ites were not impressed by him--of course there are "sheeple" everywhere and he had some supporters in the room.

The part that pissed me off the most is that when he was asked questions about what the Nigerian government is doing to make the country better, he asked what we in the diaspora are doing. When he was faced with the answer that many abroad have tried to make change in Nigeria to no avail because they don't have "connections" his response was basically to say that proposals for Nigeria must benefit certain people in office or they will not work. This is not a surprising answer for someone who was part of a N2.3billion car purchase scandal.


Dimeji Bankole thinking up even more dickish ways to answer questions.

He engaged in the sort of back and forth you expect from two secondary school girls fighting over a boy. If the speaker of the US House of Representatives had dared behave the way he did, she would have been swept out of office immediately. Instead of answering questions, he would throw the question back at the person asking the question and even went as far as saying that people should not ask certain questions until he had left. When someone came up to ask him a question, he turned his back on the person as if the individual was an annoying insect wasting his time. If Mr. Bankole did not want to be there, then he should not have come! People in the crowd got so fed up with his non-responses and constant bullsh*t (excuse my french) that at one point they began to yell "answer the question!" when he tried to dodge yet another question.

Mr. Bankole might be a shining star in Nigerian politics, but many of us at the reunion were not impressed.

The Female Situation in Vegas

For the guys out there, you will not be disappointed to know that there are lots of girls here! Of different shapes and sizes (and hair weave colors). I have seen a lot of "good" but also quite a bit of "bad and UGLY".

Also there is this disturbing trend of wearing SHIRTS AS DRESSES, and I would like to ask the ladies to STOP IT. For the love of God almighty--stop--I know its hot, but a little more length will not kill you.

You will also be happy to know that girls have been drunk since mid-afternoon. I am serious. By the time registration rolled around at about 6:30pm, you could already tell who was wasted. Of course its Vegas, but Nigerians are always so "uppity" about their morals. Ah well, Day 1 is done. I know that I am supposed to go for the party tonight, but I am so tired and there weren't many people there when I popped in to check. As far as I can tell, most people are drinking in their suites. It probably helps that there's a liquor store next to the hotel! There is also a well stocked alcohol section in the 24hr CVS pharmacy about 5minutes walk from the hotel. I don't think I've seen alcohol at a CVS. Only in Las Vegas!
