The Lagos Experience: Going Home in yellow and black

It finally hit 5:00pm!!!! Guess what time it was? Yes u got it! Closing time!!!! I packed my bag and headed home...

Unfortunately for me, my office is located at the in depth of an estate which hasn't been well developed 

Loool. There is no dream that would make me find a cab here. I had to walk down to the main junction which was a 20 mins walk. On my way I saw this...

Something about this picture makes me want to get wrapped on my mothers arms. It was a very beautiful sight that portrayed love, innocence and happiness.

Moving on, I finally got to the junction. I saw a lot of busses and I decided to take one home. "Ikeja?"    "Yes ikeja"   "Oya enter"..... There was excitement in my heart! Busses aren't bad at all!!!!

Okay, a little bit annoying but it's really not as horrible and nasty as everyone claims.

I got carried by the beautiful street arts, the traffic traders and advertisements that I forgot to drop at my stop (not like I even knew it was my stop). The bus conductor asked me where I'm dropping and I said ikeja. "But we are already in ikeja!!! You no sabi road?" He asked. "no o I no sabi road. U fit direct me?". After I got my direction, I headed for it.

Going in that direction, I asked the first set of people where I could find maruwa (keke na pep) going to the street where I stay, I got directions again!

Finally!!!!! I found them!!!

And I got onboard one of them. They are really scary but more fun than the bus. Lol. This is what inside looked like 

Lots of people prefer to call it tricycle but I like keke better. This old keke driver was totally gangster. He was so rough and kept on using swear words. This was my favorite view

I loved today!!!!!!!!!! 

I really loved today. Gaining experience is probably the best thing that can happen to anyone depending on how you choose to interpret those experiences.

Work finally!!!

After two days of the longest rests ever taken, my first day of work is finally here!!!! I'm not as excited as I sound tho.

I was up by four to get my hair done. The out come after an hour was a bun. Lmao.

Havnt had breakfast not I'm crazy hungry and it's just past two. 

I was gonna develop a new experience by using bus to my place of work. I couldn't just bring myself to do it but with the amount of cab fare I paid today, I won't need anyone to ginger me. Lol. 

 

The traffic was unbearable!!!!! Did I mention that I am hungry!!!!!

The worst part is that I'm not getting paid!!! I don't even have an idea of when I'm to close for work. 

No one seems to be talking to me. I feel bad. Maybe my snubish look is on but I don't even know. 

Thank God for IPhone! I would have become suicidal after today. Just kidding. 

Can't wait for the weekend!!!!!

I got laughed at for holding my bible at the airport by some white teenagers. Took me some time to ask them what was funny about my bible but I did anyway. They said that I just look really serious taking it everywhere I go. I smiled and said He was serious when he died for me tho.

Ready for the Lagos experience!!!

Yaaaay!!!! I have finally arrived lagos after the endless rescheduling of my flight.... It was unbearable when my phone died!

Well at the airport I saw MO from moments with MO. Lol.

Enough fooling around. I am in Lagos for my industrial training. I'm extremely excited to have this really popular "Lagos Experience". I know I sound really local but the truth is I am local and  sassy!

So, I decided to spend my first night in a hotel before I finally get to my apartment and kick off the hard life.

To start, I am having Suya for dinner. It's very tough to chew but it's worth the struggle. 

It would be the biggest pleasure taking everyone on the Lagos experience wagon with me. Feel free to hop in, but I ain't sharing my Suya!

Wrote this some weeks ago. I wasn't going through an emotional phase of any kind. I hope it means something to you.

ABUAD media dinner 2014

Hello everyone!!!! So, this is my first blog post and I know exactly where to start. The last time I got all dressed up and glammed up for an occasion was two months ago. I know, what a boring life I live. So, this occasion was a departmental dinner, my departmental dinner in Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti in Nigeria. My dress was from Nouva Couture (IG: nouvacouture). Although I got these negative Nigerian vibes of being over dressed for the event, I was really comfortable and felt really Disney-like. Lol. For my hair, I went for the Bantu knot into a fro-punk which didn't come out as I wanted, so tagged as a FAIL. Apart from the gold earrings, I didn't have any other accessory on likewise shoes. Yes! I said shoes. I sent my sandal platforms back to my dorm because I could barely move with them. I was saved by the length of my dress and gathered a great amount of germs on my feet too. Lol. It was an awesome night!

A big thank you to the weird bomber at the back!!!!!

Sorry for the blurred pictures. I had a couple of those...
