Tonto's dad aint no politician, she cld nt hav bin smokin since 13...Tonto babie, we're proud of u, I esp luv ur youthfulness. Crystal | 10/21/2012 4:41:25 AM |
I meant her dad aint a known politician nd he did nt contest per se, he had intrest bt he did nt reach d stage of flagbearer! Chyke | 10/21/2012 5:09:05 AM |
We know all these things but in my humble opinion, d movie which brought the childish actress into limelight was Tea or Coffee. She was d most sought after actress in 2009, if u know what I mean: she starred in almost all d Enugu/Asaba/Idumota movies dat year. She lyks acting along her twin broda Muna d vampire Obiekwe. D only reason I watch Tonto's movies is bcos we are 4rm same tribe n state. She is d most controversial actress alongside Mercy J, Cossy shameless Orjiakor n Ini slutty Edo. Although ppl who knows Tonto personally say she is a gud n friendly person. But she has to slow down joooor. Ceasar | 10/21/2012 7:54:14 PM |

Rose | 10/21/2012 8:35:53 AMNo wonder people talks about u,ur zodiac sign is gemini. this is all about someone who fall under gemini star sign. our element: Air Your ruling planets: Mercury Symbol: The Twins Your stone: Aquamarine Life Pursuit: To explore a little bit of everything. Vibration: Intense mental energy Gemini's Secret Desire: To be ahead of the crowd ?Description: In ancient Greek mythology, Gemini's ruler - Mercury, was the light-footed messenger of the gods who darted back and forth across the heavens delivering news - which might explain why those born under the sign of the 'Twins' are always on the move; thirsty for knowledge and new experiences. Terminally curious and sometimes even mischievous, Geminis are multi-faceted souls who enjoy knowing a little bit of everything but generally not too much about one particular subject. It's just that variety is the spice of their lives! In Astrology, Geminis have also gained the reputation of being the incessant talkers of the zodiac. Those Twins that don't have the 'gift of the gab' are usually talented writers or have a special interest in foreign languages. In love, they look for a partner who can keep up with them mentally and physically! And, to quote Oscar Wilde, "there's one thing worse than people talking about you, that's people not talking about you." Whether Geminis like it or not, people are usually "talking about them". Together with Scorpio and Virgos, they are a sign that is often discussed, dissected and sometimes even put down by the other signs of the zodiac. Sometimes this is a subtle form of jealousy by others, because Geminis do lead very unique and unusual lives. The Gemini personality can appear mysterious or detached to others and therefore they are often misunderstood and unappreciated for the talents they offer to the world at large. Another reason Geminis evoke so much interest is many born under this sign are multi-dimensionally talented. In money matters, some Geminis are very adept and quick at making it...and spending it too. Many Geminis are involved in international financial wheeling and dealing. They love the adventure and game playing involved in out-thinking other people. Gemini's can be very haphazard about their financial affairs too, with many of them ending up in divorce courts mainly because their partners have become tired of living on the edge of a financial precipice Reply this thread

Christine | 11/27/2012 3:23:43 PMSorry to be a killjoy, but truth is I've abeilsed down the side of waterfalls into deep canyons, sailed the high seas in cyclones, parachuted into jungles, jumped off the roof at home when I was seven, swung on ropes from one tree to another through the bush, swum naked in the ocean during a super cell storm, ridden an out-of-control horse bareback in 40 degree heat in stone country and never once been hurt the least little bit.I was hit by a car when I was eight when running across the Pacific Highway to get to the beach, but the Volkswagen was more badly damaged smashed hood than me. That is all. Reply this thread
