My Mommy, Her Gospel Music, Her Anointing Oil, And Her Church

My Mommy, Her Gospel Music, Her Anointing Oil, And Her Church

This post is part of the Verastic In Nigeria series It’s been almost five years since my mommy and I lived together, so before I even came to Nigeria, I knew that my mommy and I would probably be arguing over something every day. Well ... On the first night I slept in Nigeria (the day I landed in Abuja), I was shocked when I woke up the next morning to blaring gospel music. I was shocked and irritated and confused. Apparently, mom likes to listen to gospel music early in the morning. But I Read More

Let Me Tell You How Mr. Tokunbo Oladejo From Dana Air Acted A Fool

This post is part of the Verastic In Nigeria series I don’t want to curse the day, but I had a not-great day on Tuesday. Prior to Tuesday, I couldn’t get a flight out of Lagos to Jos. According to the website, the only available Jos flight was for Thursday, which was two days later than I planned. So I decided to buy a ticket to Abuja and then drive from Abuja to Jos. The most convenient flight for me on that Tuesday was one by Dana Air (flight 9J-335), which was scheduled to leave Lagos at Read More

Sweet Potatoes, The Meet-Up Is Today!!!

Sweet Potatoes, The Meet-Up Is Today!!!

This post is part of the Verastic In Nigeria series Kai. I'm so relieved right now. I thought that when I landed Lagos on Monday, I would go straight to the venue, confirm it, and let everyone know of the meetup. But alas, that was not meant to be. For starters, my flight was very late, so I ended up landing at night, instead of in the evening. So I couldn't do any thing I planned on doing. And since that day, we have considered several other venues, and we have hit a brick wall with all of Read More

I’m In Lagos And I’m Having A Sweet Potato Meetup This Saturday!

I’m In Lagos And I’m Having A Sweet Potato Meetup This Saturday!

This post is part of the Verastic In Nigeria series First of all, let me apologize for the lack of posts last week. If we’re connected on social media, then you probably already know that I’m in Nigeria. I got here on Sunday, August 21st, and since I arrived, I have been trying (and failing) to catch up. I have only been here for a week, and I have already been in Abuja, Plateau, Ogun, and now, Lagos. Meanwhile, I only came with my one phone which only carries one SIM. I have Etisalat in Read More
