"Three days of chatting and she has not used a single comma, full stop, or even question mark! She will just say "Have you eaten". What is that? Are you asking a question or telling me something!? Am I asking for too much? I am not even saying you should use anything fancy like a semi colon, hyphen, or exclamation mark! And apart from lagos all states in Nigeria are proper nouns! What is abuja?"
