Wow!Are you kidding?! I miss Nigeria because my wife and 2 lovely daughters are there.It's being more than 2 months since I was last at home,and so many things have happened already. my first daughter grew up to be 4years old,and my baby is 5months old plus.Looking forward to October when I will be home again! cool.I certainly miss all the high CHO diets(pounded yam,garri etc),exotic soups and freedom of movement! tongue
