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

BlogHer16 - Verastic

This post is part of the Verastic In Nigeria series I have not been to Nigeria in 16 years! Isn't that insane? I left Nigeria on August 15th 2000, and I have not been back ever since, but that does not stop me from dreaming about Nigeria. That being said, there are some things that I have to do when I'm there. You may consider them to be mundane, but to me, they are extra special. 1.  Hot suya and cold Fanta: If you know me a little bit, then this one goes without saying. I used to live in Read More
