It’s either, am pregnant or someone is pregnant is for me
because I have been craving some really odd meals at very odd times of the day.

currently ended and the dude is planning a thanksgiving. He stays in Lagos
while she lives in Abuja. During their 2 years relationship, she only slept in
his house 3 times because she said she was not comfortable with the fact that
he was staying in a single room, self contained.
He would buy her flight ticket from Abuja to Lagos and back,
pay for hotel accommodation, Red cab and food. She was not really into the
TFC/KFC things; she only loved food associated with countries such as Thailand,
China et al.
On his visits to Abuja, he would also pay... READ MORE
