I am sure they can't match you though

Comic workshop...interesting. I could've sworn that talent comes naturally. It's prolly the technology part that's attracting Mynd, the scientist.

I might not be a comic fan(I love being more imaginative) but I love cartoons. And this looks like an opportunity to see what Nigeria has to offer in that line.

Comics are most of the times adapted into cartoons. So perhaps I will be seeing a comic that is worth adoption into cartoons.

And don't worry, I will take loads of pictures and upload

Naija and our cartoons...okay. I'd keep my fingers crossed.

I didn't see Cosplay anywhere, I hope there will a show of sorts.
do you know the venue, is it ideal?

Rocktation: Naij and our cartoons...okay. I'd keep my fingers crossed.

Lets just see how this one goes.

And please I need more events around Lagos. I am bored and need to go out jorh

So much interest. Will you be attending?

I know the venue very well. It is at Aquatic hotels which is the old "water park" if you grew up in lagos you will remember it.

It is on Opebi road and a very nice place too

Rocktation:

So much interest. Will you be attending?

Yeah will you?

I know waterpark. It's about the nicest place I knew as a kid. They had like a mini-zoo with old and rusty turtles and snakes back then.

Rocktation:

Unfortunately I can't. If they do well and stick to the same time period the coming years, then it'll be worth planning trips to Lagos around this time.

I don't remember, my memory is terrible. Looking forward to seeing the pictures.

I wish I could too, but...work!

Rocktation: I know waterpark. It's about the nicest place I knew as a kid. They had like a mini-zoo with old and rusty turtles and snakes back then.

You are right. That's the place

ijebabe:

No problem ma'am

Point of correction, Aquatic hotel is different from Water parks. Wish I can attend.

Explain to me how. It is the same place is it not?

I know they're beside each other, but the way you termed it as OLD is misleading, is as if Water Parks has been pulled down or relocated, you get ba.

o
I get your point but by old there, I meant to remind them about where they went went they were kids. I did not mean that it does not exist anymore

No shaking, now I understand your point, you know information shared on the net can sometimes be miscontrued.

You're welcome, but Water Parks is at Toyin street and not Opebi Rd, for the sake of those going to the event, cheers.

I always mix those ares together. Allen, Opebi and Toyin street.

You're right, those areas are synonymous with each other, especially to 'first timers'.
