"SAY SOMETHING NICE" - A MEME

Its the holiday season, and I am definitely in the spirit. So, I am starting my own little Meme. As the title above says, all one has to do is say something nice about a couple other bloggers. I am not sure how many bloggers to limit the meme to though, so let's say 5. That should do it.
 
So here are the rules.
  1. Name 5 bloggers
  2. Say something nice about each of them
  3. Tag them by linking to them in your meme, and visiting their blog to announce that they have been tagged
  4. Those tagged, cannot repeat any of the bloggers mentioned by the person who tagged them (sorry, that way more bloggers can get mentioned and not just the same popular ones)
I am also going to say that we limit this to Nigerian, and adopted Nigerian bloggers as a way of encouraging us all to go read their blogs and wish them a kind season's greetings message.=)

Okay, let me start,

*ahem, ahem*

  1. WAFFARIAN: This craze pikin na my babe! As in I will stop what I am doing (including breastfeeding a child or two, lol!) to at least chat with her for a few minutes (or hours) because she is an excellent babe with a great heart. She craze sha, but she can make me laugh on any given day!!!! Thanks babe!
  2. ADAEZE: She managed to share so much about herself in such a courageous way, there is no way i could not have the utmost respect for her. She comes across as a very intelligent and kind person, and i can only imagine that she is the same in real life.
  3. SOKARI EKINE: Another incredible blogger that is an asset to the Nigerian blogging community. I'm not sure how she does it, but she has been blogging about crucial LGBT, human and civil rights issues for a long time now and never seems to lose momentum, unlike some of us (myself included).
  4. GOOD NAIJA GIRL: I find her blog to be a very good one. Can you believe that the first time I read her blog, I got into semi-combative mode trying to offer a different take on an issue she presented for discussion? And, that is why i like her blog, it forces me to think and work harder. I especially liked her post about her entrepreneurial grandma. It was sucha  beautiful post that reminded me of all the hardworking men and women from my family and how much I need to be like them. Anyway, babe you too try.
  5. STANDTALL: The Madam the madam! Well, I personally find Ms. Standtall to be an inspiration and believe that one day, all the hard work she has done on behalf of young women will have a larger impact than she could have ever imagined. Unlike her, I am not a cat person, but she actually makes cats seem okay. lol!
Okay, I have started, so you ladies have to continue the meme. Please make sure you title it "Say Something Nice" so we can keep track of who might opt to participate. See you around!
