Yippee!!! I am now officially a weekly vlogger. I’m nervous and excited. In this week’s episode, I take you through my first week in Nigeria, starting from the Washington Dulles International Airport. My parents now stay in Mangu, a local government that is about 40 minutes away from Jos. In my opinion, Mangu is a village, but my mommy disagrees (I think dad agrees).
Anyway, enjoy the video. New episode coming next week Wednesday. Before you ask, the name of the song is Hallelujah, and it’s one of the songs that I currently have on reply. Find him on Twitter, and buy Hallelujah on iTunes/Apple Music.

Very nice song! Did I miss the post in which you shared why away for 16 years, and what prompted you to finally visit?
Hi Kome! Song is great indeed. I know you’ve found the post you were asking about.
Wow, wonderful documentary. Very enjoyable. Ada Verastic pretty no be small. I can see where she gets her yellow from..granmaa! You looked happy and relaxed. I know the feeling when am away from the US. Do you see yaself living there longterm? Sounds like you took to it well.
Hey Brooms,
Thanks a lot! It was weird that although I hadn’t been home in 16 years, I felt so at ease being home. I definitely see myself living in Naija long term. But certain things will have to be in place first. And thanks for the compliments about my mommy 🙂
Awww…I confess u made me cry…and seeing auntys face again gave me some kinda joy…seeing ur dad too…God bless them.
Amen. Amen. Thank you, Nneka!! It’s been a long time 🙂
this was fun to watch
i always cringe at sharing so much of myself online
you do it effortlessly
more power to your elbow
Azzy, thank you so much! If I do it effortlessly, it’s because I have people like you to hold me up. Thank you.
I enjoyed every bit of this video. Your mum is sooooo beautiful. That sexy looking egusi soup will haunt me for the rest of this year. I just know it!
Hahahaha. You called the egusi soup sexy. Girl, that soup was as good as it tasted. Thank you so much for your kind compliment about my mommy.
Enjoyed the vlog…pls keep it coming, lol. Your mom is very beautiful. Ada Verastic is such a cutie! I miss Jos so much. Looks like your Lufthansa flight was comfortable, love that they provided a bassinett for Ada Verastic.
Opening an account in Nigeria is something I really want to do too. Vera, do you think this can be done online? Or maybe I should just wait until I get there…
Hi Uchechi!
Thanks a lot for watching. I missed Jos a lot too before I went. Unfortunately, I don’t think I can ever live in Jos again. Lufthansa was a very pleasant flight for me. Per the bank account, don’t let me give you wrong information oh. I have no idea if you can open your bank account online, but considering how difficult it was to open the account face to face, I can only imagine that it will probably be twice as hard to open it online. But you can try sha; I don’t know for sure.
I opened a GTB account from the US and it was suprisingly quite easy to do. Google GTB non-residential account
I cant believe i watched this video to the end…wow! Nice documentary…your mum is hot…very gorgeous. But Vera, you can act in a movie ooo…lol
Chisom, thanks a lot for watching! 😀
Aww! You look like your dad but with your mom’s complexion. Lol @ when mom said “ima aju ajuju” (you know how to ask questions). Typical for Igbo moms with sarcasm. I love her already and yea she’s beautiful too.
Glad you were home. Bless xx
Cam, I didn’t even know someone would hear that part when my mom said that. Lol. If there’s one thing my mommy does too well, it’s being sarcastic. My grandma is even worse. But yeah, all my life I’ve been told that I look like dad and I have mom’s color.
I definitely miss Jos..
seeing Net Cafe, Onigbinde and the entire Ahamdu Bello way/Terminus is just so nostalgic..
Ada is definitely bae..
Yeah, girl, I felt the same way. It was so weird being on Ahmadu Bello Way again … and so much was different.
Awww! were you crying ? lol.
You baby- Ada verastic is so pretty.OMG
Can i still apply for my baby brother even though i know Sisi Yemmie’s Tito has started winking at her.
Thank you, Peter. And yes, I was crying lol. Please oh, you can definitely get your baby brother to apply because Sisi Yemmie is cheating on me. She’s busy finding other wives for Tito, so we, too, cannot put all our eggs in one basket.
Man!! Vera I see where the Ucha is from Mom and Body from Dad. Ada Verastic is BAE/BOO. I did not know Mom has not meet her yet until your trip. I got emotional there.
I will like to open an account in Nigerian but from what you are saying, it will wait until I go home. Very very emotional going back home after that many years.
Ola, yes indeed oh! Very emotional indeed. It was surreal for me; couldn’t believe that I was in Nigeria, my home, after so long. Thank you for the compliments! Per the bank account, save yourself the stress
Ima aju ajuju lol… Love your mom
Lol. Don’t mind her. Always being sarcastic.
