My trip to Nigeria has been the most eventful ever. on the positive note I, for the first time went to the eastern part of Nigeria,
Calabar. I think its an experience worth the drive.
Digressing, I also had the worst flight ever in my life. I missed the first one, had to go back and get another visa, then the second flight
wasnt to
abuja anymore so i had to ask my parents who were already upset to make reservations at a hotel in Lagos. the
fligt felt like it was 2 days long and the men on the flight.
OMG!!! were wrong. half of them were drunk on the beer served, the air hosts were practically scolding them to return to their seats, one man asked if they would sell him HALF A PACK OF CIGARETTE from duty free. Did he think he was in the market!!! Half the men were looking for women to hit on during the flight n boy were they rude!
Ive never heard anything positive about the Lagos airport, matter of fact, when my ticket was printed at the airport and it said final destination Lagos, the computer sent an extra report on the safety in
Lagos, how the airport
doesnt comply to safety rules!!! Anyway we arrived at night and i did not want my sister, who was my travel partner to bring out her phone or speak about money or speak period near me,
coz i
didnt want to be marked!!! i hear people get followed from the airport and get robbed. So we get to the hotel and my adorable friend, who
ive missed so much come over with
SUYA for me, well more like us.
Flight back to
Abuja was delightful, the air hostess was nice, and
coz i said hey and introduced myself as we had slept in the same hotel the night before, we got upgraded to
first class!!! OK, nothing special as it was an hour flight but believe me there is something nice or great in paying for the smaller regular seats and
getting the
spacey soft leather seats with a fruit bowl for breakfast. I
didnt know we had KIWI in Nigeria, but it was good.
I left for
Calabar the morning after i arrived and spent the best 4 days relaxing, dinning, at the water park and on a tour that had one of those line bridges, my mom n sister almost peed themselves!! I had a blast and then had to leave on the day of my party in
Abuja.
Party was fun, i met people i
hadnt seen in 4.5 yrs and met people i
hadnt met before altogether! Nice people, and of
coz special people. My brother threw me a wonderful party and even if most of my close friends
didnt show up the few that were there made it worth my while. you know what they say bout numbers and quality? well I had a
lil number but quality fun. My brother had the people at
Tai Chi spell out CONGRATS with
lil candles on the table for me, which was one of my highlights
coz i just
wasnt expecting it. Oh yeah. i wanted an open tab at the bar, and my brother warned against it but he did it anyway for me, some greedy person ordered two bottles of
MO ET!!!
ok, i can see glasses n stuff but damn! oh well.
After the party my friend his sister, am not sure wot word to describe her with
coz fun,
wudnt do her justice, and her friend went to this Lounge to chill
coz they were hungry and i just
wasnt ready to go home, anyway she asked for a chicken platter and ages later they return with this huge plate of rice and maybe 5 tiny pieces of chicken. no joke. her response: did i tell you i
dont have rice at home!!!pack it pack it. and then we leave.
Altogether,
im having a fun and fulfilling time. I have so much more to look forward to, i might still go to Ghana and experience another African country, i still have Lagos to go to simple because its more fun. Abuja sleeps at night, except at the weekend and even at that you can go to all the spots in
abuja in one night. (I still love Abuja better than Lagos)
I
havent blogged because the
Internet is so slow and they have the nerve to make it wireless, n my lap top crash on me, VISTA SUCKS buy an apple laptop or just downgrade.
Anyway i hope the latter part of my stay is more fun and more fulfilling as
Im taking major life altering steps in the next month and half!!!
VIV La Nigeria (forgive me, i had to)
