Hi Azuka,

Fancy that, I stopped being around for ages, decided to try today and here you are asking of me. How are you dear? Please write me with my OTHER address. I have closed down this one.

I too get quite miffed at correction but to be honest, it passes. It’s just writer’s ego, we all like to be praised. I like Mememe’s corrections too, I learned a lot.

Do write me, I am waiting to hear of your adventures in Naijaland.

Learning to take criticism on board is a skill I’m also developing. And also seeing the criticism as directed at your writing and not a personal insult. Even though it’s unpleasant sometimes, it helps you to see what you could do better next time.

Thanks. I’m actually back.

Rita
Coming from someone whose writing I think highly of, I’m honored.

Solomonsydelle
Thanks for all the support.

Keshi
Thanks, thanks. Actually, you’re one of the people I’ve learned from. TO get that many comments, there must be at least one or two vindictive commenters, and you do let them through. I think watching how you, and others deal with criticism got me thinking about where I was going wrong.

Vera
Well, that makes two people I know who’ve learned from Mememe.

Jaycee
Well, at teh time of this writing, I was still getting settled in, fixing some computer problems, the like.

In My Head and Around Me
Thanks.

Wow, I had no idea my blog was your first.

Well, if you do notice any lack of research, please let me know next time. You can shoot me an email if you don’t want to leave it in the comment section.

See it this way, he will only need to impart this knowledge once and then it is yours forever.

He actually did you a favour. And while it is was not a sugar-coated favour, it was a favour all the same.

LOL.

I love criticism sha…as long as it’s constructive, of course. lol. But that’s good that he/she wrote all that oh. That’s how people learn. Even I did not know that Hajiya was used predominantly in Naija. Thought it was a general thingy. Hmmmmmm.
