The Naija Fest was da bomb!!!  Okay, I dunno wat was happening on stage (cause I really wasn&#8217;t paying any attention), but seeing all those people (friends) that I hadn&#8217;t seen 4 so long was really, really good.<\/p>\n<p>I ate so much suya I thought my stomach will burst.  I bought some for myself, but most of what I ate came from other people&#8217;s plates.  Gosh, being a girl is so much fun!  When I bought my own suya, I had 2 buy a lot cause I was taking home for folks (mom at al), so I bought suya for $70.  Even I couldn&#8217;t believe I spent that much on suya (haba!).  That suya man made a lotta $$, no doubt.  When I told him I was buying suya for my mom, he said I should tell my mom to go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.suyamaster.com\">www.suyamaster.com<\/a> for more suya; of course I thought he was kidding.  (Certainly this suya man couldn&#8217;t possibly have a website!).  Out of curiosity, I decided 2 check it out, and lo &#038; behold, he actually has a website!  On his website, the suya costs $2 per stick, but @ the NaijaFest, he sold 3 for $10.  The man made money oh..chei!  Anyways, the good thing about this &#8220;suya master&#8221; is that he is located in D.C. which is just about 45 mins away from me.  Of course, my friends and I would definitely be checkin it out.<\/p>\n<p>I also got a flyer for a new Naija restaurant here in Maryland.  Can&#8217;t wait 2 go there.  They even serve isi ewu.  Yay!  I haven&#8217;t had isi ewu since I gat 2 this country&#8230;.and that has been a very, very long time.<\/p>\n<p>I took some pictures @ the NaijaFest, which I will upload later jare.  I really don&#8217;t feel like doing it now.  I&#8217;ll post them on a later post jare.  Right now, I just wanna sleep.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and the trip 2 King&#8217;s Dominion in Virginia was great too!  I got a little tanned from being under the sun for so long, and my voice is weak cause of all the screaming I did while I was on the roller coasters.  Men, they were scary!<\/p>\n<p>Until then sha, we go dey yarn.  Have a lovely day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where do I start? The Naija Fest was da bomb!!!
