***STEAM***
This is just unacceptable. I am not ashamed to say I read Bossip. It provides the distraction I need when I am doing a lot of my hard core writing for my other blog. But, this hurt me to the chore! And now I am hearing that Sandra Rose warned her readers about it. Why didn't you warn me, Ms. Rose? I think I will add your site to my reader.
I just finally got that mess off my computer but it screwed up my Saturday night plans. Plus, it revealed that my McAfee Virus protection is absolute CRAP!!!!! When I called customer service, I spoke to some lady in Hyderabad (fine i don't know if she was in Hyderabad, you can pick your own Indian city and fill in the blanks) and all those anger management classes flew out the window. Okay, just kidding. I have never had the good fortune of anger management classes, but really, she was sooooo unhelpful!!! It took the sacred blood of Jesus, plus images of okada drivers with buckets on their heads to keep me from losing it.

And she had the nerve to ask me if I would rate her performance. mmmsschewwwwww.
Anyway, now that I have gotten that off my chest, I have a message to the administrators at Bossip. You know I did not deserve to get that adware on my computer. You guys need to work on that little problem. My message to myself (and you,a s a consequence of reading) - that's what you get for procrastinating when you should have been working on the things you were supposed to be working on. You lost crucial online time because you were looking at a gossip site!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ARGH!
Rant over! Proper post in oh, let's say, 24 hours. Cool?
Shout out to Babajidesalu for the pic. He, and everyone else, has no idea how that pic saved that McAfee lady from having my true Isa l'eko (real/old Lagos) self unleashed on her. You really should check out his blog, ...diary of a Nigerian returnee. Interesting and hilarious stuff. That goes especially for you, Ms. Sting.
BTW, I used Malwarebyte's Anti malware. It is free right here and my computer is now spotless! And, I'm so excited, Nigerian Curiosity is now listed on Global Post as a recommended blog on Nigeria. Yipee!

Those ridiculous adwares can be so frustrating. I have stopped downloading freebies from the internet because of them. Nothing is free it all comes with this tiny price.
Waiting for the post. I thought people in Lagos were joking about this bucket-as-helmet thing.

I just read this post last night since then i have been too scared to go get my usual daily dose of bossip, im tempted but i don't want to have to start removing adware tomorrow. Well I guess i will be heading over to mediatakeout from now on.
@ aloted Bossip is a online gossip/entertainment site that focus primarily on AA's
congrats on Nigerian Curiosity on global posts...
Been following your blog. Nigerian Curiosity deserves the GlobalPost listing...
@dat one okrika girl- thanks!

Wow,
So this is the site where it all happens. Thanks for your plug. And I must say that this is a site I will monitor as it rocks.
Down-to-earth talk. Just what I like. Count me as a fan.
Well done on the hard work.

Pele love...Hope you've sorted your computer out now.
And Happy New Year! Let me go and read your other posts xx
@ Bumight: Serious student, how are you?
@ Zena: "I have this pop-up of gay fetish porn and male bonding popping up on my screen as I speak now, very frustrating..."
lol!!!! Girl, use the program I recommended. It will wipe out the adware and malware (adware, viruses, trojans).
@ Sting: Yup, we gotta love Naija! wetin we go do? But that pic is better than the rumors that okada men are wearing calabash for helmets.
@ Nefertiti: So, I assume you believe the lady was Punjab, huh? Well, me I no know, but I did find a free malware remover that I included in the post.
How you dey?
@ Funms: well, I can't speak for other call centers, but dealing with that lady was frustrating. I am sure I have dealt with many other Indian call centers with no complaints. Anyway, for now the problem is solved but I will still have to deal with those McAfee folks. I will NEVER BUY MCAFEE AGAIN!!!!!!!
@ Temite: Yes, I deserved it. I was supposed to be working and instead chose to satisfy my desire for Bossip. I cannot lie, lol!
@ Therapy: sorry oh! my bad! You can send $10 to my Paypal account to get the inside scoop on when I post. ;P
@ Timmy: Yes, I visited SR and can understand why you would call her a hater. But ultimately, she has the right to say what she wants. I just feel bad for her main target - Beyonce - especially as I like Bey.
Thanks so much for swinging by!
@ Uzezi: Yup, bossip is a good site to visit and they can be very funny! Someone let me know when their site is clean, sha. lol!
@ QMoney: eh? no, na you go tell me when the green light is on for visits to Bossip. I keep wanting to click on the site but I am resisting temptation. =)
@ ~SIRIUS~: yup, I guess she was doing her job. But, she would be better off without my rating. lol!
Congrats on Nigerian Curiousity getting listed on Global Post! You're moving on up, ma'am.
Sorry about the malware wahala too...I hate it when my computer gets sick.
Good Naija Girl
heya....i know hw annoying it could be
@ Jarrai: callcenters "can test the patience of mother theresa :)"
hahahahahahaha!!!! That is true!
Wetin happen? Who scared you into making your blog private? Tell me their name so i can flog them properly!!!! Naughty people!!!! =)
@ LusciousRon: yes, nothing online is free oh! But I wasn't even downloading anything. I just went to one of my favorite gossip sites. **sigh** Not fair!!!!
=)
@ Oluwadee: Yes, thank God I could get rid of it. How body, my sista?
@ Aunty Tigeress: Yes, I am thankful I could get rid of the problem. Hope all is well?
@ Shubby Doo: You use McAfee as well? Well, if it works it works, you know. Its the customer service that is seriously lacking. What's up?
@ Ibiluv: thanks for the kind words. How you dey?
@ flygirlbidiish: Thanks for stopping by! Actually, her accent was not the problem. believe me, I deal with accents all the time. The lady seemed to be on 'something', you dig? Like she could not follow what I was saying. And trust me, I know how to express myself, lol!
Anyway, thanks again for swinging by. Don't be a stranger!
@ Aloted: thanks lov! Bossip is a funny gossip site that focuses on African American celebrities and issues. You can check it out. Its a good site and very entertaining, I think.
@ okrika babe!: lol! yes, oh Mediatakeout is one of my haunts and even more so, now that bossip did me wrong! You know, mediatakeout was created by an African guy based in the US right? Look what he has done with his little celeb site. Na wa oh! Maybe someday I'll be hanging with the big boys, lol!
@ Toluwa: Thanks so much, my sista! How are those your aunties tenants?
@ Her Story: Thanks so much! Is this your first time here? Well thank you for swinging by!!!! Don't be a stranger!
@ Aloted: I explained my original comment at GNG's. Sorry if it was confusing.
@ Jide: yes oh! this is where i put my hair down. Nigerian Curiosity is definitely my passion, but this ...Easier... blog and the Easier crew are my peeps. Na here wey we dey laugh tyah!
Hope all is well. Need to hit up your side. Has 'Blessing' arrived yet?
@ Lolia: my sista! I am grateful I could get the nasty stuff off! How body?
@ GNG: one of my favorite persons, how nah? That your blog always presents good posts that make us all think and discuss. I was just thinking that today.
Thanks for the kind words. This sista is trying to move on up. 'trying' being the operative word. lol!
Ah no thank u o, rara o...if it gave u virus i wont be going there..lol...
thanks a lot. i saw ur response on GNG's...I have asked a follow up question :)
awwwww congratulations on your blog added to that site lol. will check it out. but it sure is worth it, with nigerian curiosity et al :) I remember the early days of putting up the posts about the young man who was treated like an animal on the plane.
Pray that God will enlarge your territory in Jesus' Name
Eya kpele! I got one rubbish virus last year that cost me $300 to get rid of. If your looking for celebrity gossip though, Perez Hilton-not Bossip-is totally the way to go!! Congratulations on having Nigerian Curiosity listed on Global Post. You definately deserve it!
PS: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Sorry I'm late...
Lol! I just want to point out though you never came back... x
Rant Rant Rant Rant Rant!!!!
Where is the real post!!!???
Good for you about Nigerian curiosity.
