Hello friends,
It's been over 5 months since we last posted here. That's really poor of us. New Year Resolution, (abi revolution) fail. Let's see if we can redeem ourselves before the year runs out.
So how was your summer? We imagine that a lot has happened in your lives since April: some of you have migrated to a different country, moved to a different school, gotten a different job, had another child etc. Time really changes yesterday.
Even my friends are treading new paths. The other day, my friend Bimpe came up to me and said, "Guess what? He finally proposed!! I can't believe it. My boyfriend is amazing. Ooops, I mean my fiyons. [insert laughter here]
Wait, what? Fiyons? It took me a full two minutes to process that. And then I realized what she was trying to say. So I promised to give her a shourrout on this site.
So, shourrout to Bimpe!!
Lesson: My fellow country people, regardless of what Tonto Dike says, the man you are engaged to is your fiancé and the woman you are engaged to is your fiancee . Click on the loudspeaker and hear how it's pronounced. That's right! Fi-yon-say. Just like Beyonce. Exactly.
And just like Beyonce, Bimpe's fiyons, I mean fiancé, put a ring on it.
We wish you both a happy married life, Bimpe!

This is really helping me, now I know the pronunciation of both words even when they sound similar.
