VOODOO of the Chat room!!!

HERE WE GO AGAIN.
Hi friends,This is surely a deviation from my usual line of discussion but i just have to share this experience i had while in a chat room.For those of us that are very familiar with the mechanics of the chat room,u will surely know what i am talking about (the rommys of this world).I was fortunate to start a chat with a lady on skype (skype is one chat room where u can actually chat and video call with your friends). Okay back to this madam,While still getting to know more about each other,i told this lady that i am a medical practitioner.Thats where the yawa burst o, the next thing she asked for was that i should put on my webcam or i send my pix to her because she doesnt want to be 419ed. Men,i was shocked!!! But i dont blame her for her reaction though,afterall this is the age of yahoo yahoo and the chat room is a virtual reality world where everything u see or heard is probably not what it is.
Another experience i have had on this same skype is that of beggers and "i wan chop people" parading themselves as undergraduates begging for money or recharge card (the likes of SEUN, DEOLA BAJOH,KEHINDE of this world) and the best place to display their skills is on skype where they cant be seen but can only be heard,anyway they were however unfortunate to chat with people like myself who happens to be 419 conscious (once beaten twice shy). The funny thing about these set of people is that they were actually parading themselves as students of OOU,Ago iwoye. I was now wondering that what the hell is with that school,are they training fraudsters there or what. But i answered myself anyway because i have a sister and cousins who are products of the school and are wonderful people and ofcourse my good friend Yemi Basorun is also an old student of the school and he is doing well as a medical doctor,a very good one for that matter.
Anyway,it has not all been that bad though. I ve been opportuned to meet wonderful people with superb personality in this chat room. I want to say thank you for giving me the chance to be your friend,even though we ve not seen, and yes those that were also reluctant to show me there pix (hiding there pretty faces) one day sha we shall see man 2 man.Thanks to Aunty O.O at ibadan for given me tips on getting scholarship for my postgraduate studies abroad,BDD(the accountant) for being there always, my name sake (the stuborn girl) for her stuborness always, Rommy (big mouth),Ki square(firewood madam),BBW(the barrister at law),misidread(my investment adviser)Miss F.O.(the ironlady IT specialist),Imaobong(madam NGO),MyBOO(wonderful sexy Lady,hmmm),Meenar(Baby lawyer and my very good friend,she trust me so much and make sure i became a friend with her sister,wonderful)The pretty nurses(Ada, Jokebaby and Del p) My wonderful brothers Sultan and magama(we must see this weeekend)Busola F O A(the lady with two surnames,struggle continues) and ofcourse the ever busy journalist and acclaimed specialist on relationship,Miss Bukola Ajayi(Mrs?).Bukola,i ve got a question for your discussion group and i will appreciate if u can throw it to the floor.The question is "WHAT HAS GENOTYPE GOT TO DO WITH MARRIAGE AND RELATIONSHIP"? I need people opinion on this because it is one major problem we are all facing.You all are wonderful people and i thank my star that i met u guys. You are part of the good things to come out of a chat room. Lets keep it this way and dont let us get corrupted. and finally to Miss Christabel for opening my eyes to see how people think when you tell them u are a doctor,they always wonder what u are doing in a chat room. Men,we new generation doctors are not here to work and work. We are going to be all the way up the social scale.So,guys and gals,thanks for being there and also a special congrats and happy married life wishes to my brother and friend Segun Abiona. I never knew preparing for ones marriage can be that stressful,men last time i saw segun he don lean so tey i come dey fear,i hope she is not reading this.
So my people,feel free to leave your comment,insults (Rommy) abuse(sidao) and gratitude for mentioning u as my friend.And to all those i was unable to mention their names and we do chat on skype or yahoo messenger,you are not forgotten. You are just like the unseen but highly important pillars.Thanks.

I'm honoured! Thanks for seeing me as your friend.

Well, to start with, I'm a Miss. Hoping to get hooked up sometimes next year. Another thing is that, I'm just learning you're a doc. I admire you o. A doc in skype chat room. That's nice, it shows you're a bit social. Keep it up, bro.

On the issue you raised, I'll surely raise it in my blog. But I must give my contribution first. I and some friends in school (Unilorin)have had cause to discuss it. It's really a serious case that must be addressed. Here's a true life story: A friend of mine, who is an AS, was dating a guy, who is also AS. The relationship grew, their love waxed stronger and stronger, but they knew in their hearts of hearts the relationship would not last, because of their genotype. It took a lot of persuading and begging to make this my girlfriend see reasons for breaking the relationship, even though she was very very hurt.

Another friend of mine, a guy this time around was SS. We were in the same class and we called him prof because he was so brilliant. His name was Bimbo. He was always having attack upon attack. One day I had a chance of speaking with him. We had the same project supervisor and this our supervisor wanted to get married that year in Kogi state, so, I,Bimbo and other students and lecturers travelled to Kogi from Ilorin. On our way back from Kogi (after the wedding), I had a chat with Bimbo as we sat beside each other. And Bimbo told me of his ordeal, how he lost a sister & brother the same year and how that affected his result when he was in 200 level. He said they have just one AS in their family, the rest are SS and 2 have died, leaving 3 siblings, Bimbo inclusive. And in the 3, only one is AS and that's their youngest brother, the last child of the family. He made it known to me that both his parents are AS

And so it went on like that, Bimbo continued to have attacks till we graduated. He like graduated with a second class upper. Six month after our graduation before our youth service and after paying for computer training in Unilorin, Bimbo Odewale gave up the ghost.

It's really was so heavy on me then and it's still is.

I stand against marriages or relationships between people that both AS or that have any trace of sickle cell anaemia.

Although, some will hide under the guise of love, but please, let them pity the children they're going to bring to the world.

Some will even hide under faith. Once you are aware, it will be foolish of you to continue. It means you're tempting God.

I object totally. Please, forgive me if I'm sounding too unkind, but it's better to be unkind now than to cry later. Bimbo's death has taught me a lesson and I'll continue to teach it.

I'm AA, but then that doesn't stop me from standing against a sorrowful union. People like us can marry AS and vice-versa. My younger brother is AS, but I've lectured him and I'm praying he doesn't fall victim of this kind of union.

Thanks Phemnahs for the opportunity. Genotype has a lot to do in relationships and marriages. God will direct us!

One thing i do like about u is your bluntness. Your comment is highly appreciated and i am also looking forward to see others view when you put it up for discussion. It was a pity as per that your colleague that died. One good thing about SS is that they are usually brainy and most time very pretty.
It is worth thinking about seriously. once again,thanks

My doc, tanx for the complimentary insult.
There would be a tym wen we have to stop luving sumone not bcos they started hating us but bcos we found out that they'd be happier if we let them go.
In reality our forefathers were in similar dilemma but they tot it was ABIKU that was bothering them not knowing they were paying the cost of their ignorance.
Love should not blind us only to be opened by child bearing.
The witnessed agonies & pains of luved ones who fell victim due to their parents carelessness or ignorance is enough to last one a lyf tym.
I had an aunt who fate was cruel on, unfortunately she also had a selfish twin brother. She was SS while her brother is AA. She died at 34 when all thought she had a chance of survival.
It is with boldness that i bid farewell to my friends who suffer same fate with hope that there would be a next & not the last tym.
A stitch in tym my Grandmama told me saves nine.

Femi, Femi , femi...you are truly the only son of you mama.

well..it took almost 3 years to see this comment about preparing for my marriage, well, thanks to the Almighty God that it paid off, i married the right and best person.

She is my jewel and the best deal i have ever negotiated, to borrow some words from Pastor T.D Jakes.

Anyway, good to hear from my only personal and family doctor and cant wait for you too to tie the knot.

Cheers

Me, myself and i, AND YOU
