My blog clocked one today…Its still amazing how this journey has been..I remember vividly the day i decided to stop blogging about myself and friends and concentrate more on news and entertainment. I know how surprised my friends were and tried to discourage me. My first post was about the death of Amy Winehouse and ever since then, i have blogged everyday except on occasions when I’ve been sick or due to unforeseen circumstances.

Am grateful to a lot of people who have made blogging fun for me. Am very grateful to Austin Umeania for introducing me to Linda Ikeji,  who taught me the rudiments of entertainment blogging and who also advised me to stop blogging as Naija’s Parrot but should use my real name, cos people want to know the face behind a blog in order to do business with the person, and also told me about other stuffs, and who i remember calling up on phone whenever i had little issues.

Am very grateful to her for having those time and patience, sending me text and mails. Am also very grateful to  Jide Ogunsanya who battles with my html stuffs everytime i mess them up, and also lectures me on IT related stuffs, he has grown from being just a friend to a a very close friend, who i discuss a lot with.

To Ladunliadi thanks for being a big sister and to Chizys-spyware thanks for being a heart to talk to and a shoulder to lean on. I appreciate all your advise and encouragement.

Blogging has opened a lot of doors for me. I bet you all don’t know  that am the female face of FAB magazine, (Please like FAB’s facebook page HERE). I’ve done some stuffs on MTV Base and also done some brand endorsements, and hopefully will soon veer into TV.  My advice to upcoming bloggers is that consistency pays.

I want to thank everyone who has stopped by this blog, left a
comment or two (or more) and even the crowd that just read and go without
commenting and still come back daily for more, to those who have followed this
blog publicly and privately, liked my new blog page on facebook,  ….I appreciate all of you.

To everyone at a point in time who have sent me messages to bring down a
post, told me they love me and some admiring my work, I say THANK YOU. To some
people who always come here to copy and paste my posts word 4 word..I know some
of u shaa ooo I still say thank you, at least thanks for finding us worthy, besides am also a culprit in that lolz. To every celebrity and anybody praying for the downfall of this blog, I say
back to sender in IJN… AMEN

But seriously i have a problem with you my dear readers….Why is it that you don’t comment on my posts, my stats daily is above 20,000 but i dont see any comments. You all just read and move on to the next article except for few people who comment which is not encouraging. 

A commenter wrote on my friends blog ” I feel sorry for Kanyinulia! She carries these stories first & no one comments. They make their way to dear *****’s blog and the comments flow. Kanyinulia start charging ********* oh!

Please tell me is there something am not doing right? Am open to suggestions and definitely take corrections… You can email me at Kanyinuliaokeke@gmail.com

But seriously thanks all…let’s all rock this together….***Kisses & Hugzzz***
