LIEBSTER BLOG AWARDS

Thank you to Berry Dakara for nominating The Vegan Nigerian for a Liebster blog award! :)










After a bit of research, I discovered that the Liebster Award involves tagging/nominating fellow bloggers who have less than 300 followers. I guess the aim is to encourage them to keep blogging, which is pretty sweet. There are a few fun rules to go along with it:



1. Thank the blogger that nominated you
2. List 11 random facts about yourself
3. Answer the questions by the blogger who nominated you
4. Nominate 11 other bloggers
5. Ask your nominees 11 questions
6. Notify your nominees

1. 
Thanks again Berry Dakara :) Everyone go check out her cool blog.

2. 11 FACTS

1. I can't snap my fingers.
2. I balance serious reading/literature with dumb TV shows.
3. I wouldn't mind being trapped in a bookshop for the rest of my life. Not even kidding.
4. I would like to travel the world. 9 countries so far and counting... I have a long way to go.
5. I speak French.
6. The fictional character I identify with the most is Nick Carraway from The Great Gatsby
7. If it wasn't for my alarm, I'd wake up at 2pm everyday.
8. I'd like a life-sized lion (stuffed toy!) for my bedroom.
9. I can't wait to be 22 because 2 is my favourite number.
10. I cook a lot (if you haven't already noticed :D)
11. I'm a Christian

3. ANSWER QUESTIONS

1. Why is your blog name what it is? Pretty self-explanatory. Cuts to the chase.
2. Who's your favorite celebrity and why? I've always thought Jordin Sparks has a great personality. Then again, there's Denzel Washington with his awesome acting chops. 
3. What color shoes are you wearing right now? Pink and white (not as tacky as it sounds :p ...) 
4. Would you wear an engagement ring on your middle finger or fourth finger? (Yes it's such a random question, I know) Fourth. Who wears it on their middle finger?! 
5. What's your dream vacay destination? Such a cliché but some kind of remote island - sand, sea, sun, the works. 
6. #TeamNatural, #TeamRelaxed, or #TeamItsJustHairChillOut? #TeamNatural all the way. Looks nicer, feels nicer etc 
7. When was the last time you prayed? This afternoon. 
8. What's your favorite color? I've been drawn to green lately. I also had a purple phase not long ago. But blue will always have a special place in my heart - we go way back. 
9. What number child are you? 2! 
10. What's the last meal you cooked? rice and efo 
11. Would you rather do 100 jumping jacks or 75 squats? jumping jacks. Squats are weird.


4. NOMINATE 11 OTHERS

11. Ginger's Blog

5. ASK 11 RANDOM QUESTIONS

1. Why did you start blogging?
2. If you could be any fruit or vegetable, what would you be?
3. Would you every consider becoming a vegetarian/vegan?
4. What was/is your favourite subject at school?
5. Are you scared of the dark?
6. If you could eat only one thing for the rest of your life, what would it be?
7. Favourite movie of all time?
8. If you could change your name to anything, what would your new name be?
9. Are you much of an adventurer? I'm talking bungee jumping, mountain climbing and all that jazz.
10. What's the greatest thing about being your nationality?
11. What do you do to keep fit?

That's it, folks!
