So I landed at Murtala MOhammed. Took 2 hours for one of my bags to come out of the plane - well I think that was the hold up. The plane seats 419, at 2 bags a person thats 838 bags, perhaps it makes sense. One bag did not make it.
This is the fun part. Now all the folks I flew in with were really well behaved. I didnt see any of the "Nigerians in Amsterdam are always rowdy" syaings. They were orderly. Then we got to Murtala Mohammed and next thing they are fighting over carts. Mehn, you could have knocked me over with a handful of pounded yam. I guess when you are in Naija, better behave like Naija folks - as in alagbari lo ga mugun (I really cant translate that)
Its been fun so far. Note to all those thinking of moving back to Nigeria - not that I am an expert - but when you visit and when you decide to live here are two different ball games. The sight for both is different. I am not regretting it, I am loving it but I do miss the non-ceasing electricity supply. And also having a million route to go to any one location avoiding traffic on the way.
I was at the Ayinke House Matternity Ward... O My God... I wont say more than that.
If you are a returnee and have any adivce, be sure to hit me up. And looking forward to NYSC camp. I hear its fun.
The days here are flying by here. And yet so stretched out. Enough of my not complaining, but really I am not complaining.
Crushes or rather the lack of it.

Yeah right you are not complaining...
The electricity is driving me NUTS!
I'm glad you are having fun though. The Ayinke ward does sound familiar.
NYSC what??? ....just why did it always 'skirt' in my mind that you are between 35-40?
Babe: I am not complaining, for real.
Rethots: 35 ke? Still got years to go. Well a little.
You are Welcome!
That's all I can say to you right now. Hope you find all that you seek and more.
When you go to NYSC camp remember to learn the NYSC anthem - its a beautiful song really but nobody ever seems to be interested in learning it or even teaching it.
I think it ends with a line like
" ... Nigerians we are, Nigeria we serve."
Why am I even telling you this?
wb. Had no idea you were going to be back here so soon.
Shows are on every Sunday at 3pm and 6pm. Terra Kulture's on Tiamiyu Savage St, Victoria Island.
Looking forward to seeing you.
I feel strangely connected to you. lol. *weirdo*
Anyway... NYSC is fun.. If you do it in Lagos, make sure you stay on camp. It's the best part of everything.
About camp... once you figure out how you'll deal with personal hygiene, you'll have fun if you keep an open mind. Tried and true.
welcome back to the fatherland, come with faith maybe you wont lose it, maybe you will but optimism is always better than its partner!
Tomi: My optimism has no rival. And I pray to hold on to my faith.
