Dear Facebook: About my "disabled" account...

Top 12 Tweets: #NnekaLive, #NnekaLiveInKenya
So here’s a new one: “Top 12 Tweets”. The following is my [predictably pathetic] attempt at explaining the idea behind it.
They are, erm, the top 12 tweets under the hashtags highlighted. Yeah. In my opinion. Including the thumbs-up, the [constructive] criticism, the “erm” and the certifiably pointless. Yes.
The brief:
Audiovisual delight: How my wannabe marketer...

Every morning, I thank God for a select few people in my life. People honest enough to slap me once in a while whenever they feel like I’m losing the plot.
Ok, I lie.
