Not again!!! :-(

This is not happening!
I did remember a comment on the blog post about this, and I was certain that was the end of it.
Boy, was I wrong. So wrong.

It's been a couple of weeks since the first assignment. Studying after that has been tiring. I haven't been able to log into the University website because I have been super busy at work and at home.
We're also being appraised on the number of times we log into the University website per week, and click on the topics tab. You could equate that to the attendance of about 15% to the final module score. The moment I remembered that, I decided to log in and 'do eye service.' I really didn't feel like reading anything. Lately, I really don't feel like doing anything. I just want to stay in bed all day watching Africa Magic Yoruba. Yes, sue me! :-)

Anyway, I did log into the University website and got an email notification. Can you guess who it was from? No, not my Tutor (though he has been sending quite a number of emails lately). No, not that oversabi Kenyan student (mtchewwwwww :-(  I'll tell you all about her in my next blog post).

Yes, yes. It's 'Mr hello my darling.' And suddenly my day took on a sad, epic quality.
What does this guy want??? Besides being a blog post material, what does he want? Wetin? Na only me be Nigerian for the class? 
I was super tempted to click the delete button and move on with my oju aiye series, but on second thought, I decided to read it.

'Helo again. Hw iz d courz? i hope u've done ur asignment.
It was a challenge 4 mi 2 rich d 3,000 words, buh i try my best n did it.
Plz, i nid ur asitance wit smeting very important. i am payin my sch fees every mnth n i am due 4 dis mnth. which is 245 euros. Plz if u cn asit mi wit it. i wil pay u bck whn salary is paid. Plz. thx. hope 2 hear 4rm u.'

Two things:

1. Was it written in English? Call me old fashioned, but I totally do not understand this present day shorthand or shortened English. If you can type buh why can't you type but? If you can type kk (how is that even pronounced sef?), why can't you type Ok? They're both two letter words! There is nothing shorthand or shortened about it. It's not as though you're paying rent for typing space. What's with u instead of you, 4rm instead of from?
I was chatting with someone recently on BBM, and she kept on with this shorthand typing that I developed a headache trying to decipher what she was talking about. It was as though I was reading my 4 year old's handwriting upside down. I had to ask her to please type in English as I couldn't make out what she was typing. :-)
It's so bad that you see an official email correspondence all in this shorthand and just wonder what the future holds for our children. Do you think it's hip or cool?

2. This borrow money issue.  As a principle, I don't lend money to friends. Before you give me virtual bad eye, please, let me explain. I'm not a Bank, so I don't lend money. (And I try not to borrow too. I live within my means. What I can't have, I turn to prayer point) If a friend needs to borrow N100K and comes to me, I will dash (not borrow o) the friend N50K, let him/her sort out the rest elsewhere. This is because I have had terrible experiences with lending money to friends. Friendships have been ruined over this, as they will collect and suddenly forget to return it. And I don't know how to ask for my money back, because I expect the friend to be responsible enough to return what was borrowed. But that is how they will forget, that's how they will still come again, and that's how I will be twice shy and will not give again, and that's how they will vex and delete me on BBM. :-) LOL! Chai! This life is so interesting.

So tell me, what has been your experiences with this 'abeg borrow me that N200K that you're not using' matter?
This our 'friend', Mr hello my darling, do you think I should assist him?
All this shorthand typing, what's your take?

Please let me know what you think in the comment section.

Till next week Sunday (God willing)...
