In this week's episode, I pretty much conclude my visit to Nigeria. I tie up lose ends and I exit. One of the major to-do things on my list of 13 things I had to do in Nigeria was meeting some Sweet Potatoes, and thankfully, it happened.

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 Read More
