Moved to Tottenham in 1995, Rude londoners, Razzness, Crassness was beyond belief. Some guy was given a pound coin and the shock on his face as if he had been given a thousand pounds was amusing to me!! 1 Like |

And for some reason, these guys are paranoid of malaria. They put nets against our windows) - Paraguay - Because malaria kills my brother. When I reach Naija, I am always shocked at the lack of prevention, as though being morbidly sick for 2 weeks is mandatory behaviour. SMH :- If I dey president, netting would be everywhere for that country, that even boko haram no fit move from one LGA to another. Ameen. 3 Likes 1 Share |

ogugua88: I actually went to Nigeria for the first time in 2010 and thoroughly enjoyed myself. Lagos, Onitsha, the village... the entire experience. When one has everything in terms of basic amenities, it's easy to take little facets of life for granted. My parents and siblings were always complaining when NEPA took light. Instead I saved all my work, and would go outside for a stroll with my cousins, or find other ways to keep me busy. Funnily enough, bathing with dettol in my bath water and using bottled water to brush my teeth never fazed me. If other people can survive in that country, then so should I lol.U were in Nigeria,in festac to be precise,attended a wedding with two other ladies about your age.You are good looking (facially tho),You have so much fat around your waist...wait!!! you look like someone from d carribeans ..how come you are half Nigerian?? and yea u gotta get married!! 1 Like |

first time i left Nigeria. September 2009.. landed in Amsterdam. was like another planet.. truth be told i was wowed. then wen i finally reached Manchester.. the cold was the first thing i noticed, then the taxis had meters and the buses had numbers on them. it was an exhilarating experience. since then i have traveled around the world, still cant shake off the feeling of surprise and awe whenever i land in another foreign land. |

What shocked me was how much security we had throughtout our stay. From the abuja airport, abuja, Lagos and Anambra. At a point I thought there was some kind of war going on in Nigeria but as I grow up I get used to it. Another thing was how dirty the airport was. I didn't have bad experience. 1 Like |

SA - The oversize butt that SA woman have Out of this world. At the same time the development that was there, didn't feel like Africa. Then again, going to their ghetto's changed the whole perception and made me have mixed feelings. How cold SA can also get . Apart from that everything is functioning. Botswana - Just a replica of SA but was extremely hot that summer. Quiete small. Citizens not as friendly. Mozambique - How dirty Maputo is and how different their Islands are. ( woooow, I enjoyed it ) Lesotho - How rural the whole country is. Goats running around in the capital city Masaru London - How cold the place is. ( first time out of the country ) Zambia, Seychelles & Mauritius - coming soon. Africa is beautiful. 2 Likes |

Mine was my visit to dubai this year. First time out of the country actually. Menn d airport make sense die. Was surprised that the same trolley you would have to pay to use in MMA was free in the Airport. You just pick one and put your luggage on it, finish. Hitting the road, na him i come dey find pothole, Menn, I no see anyone. Everywhere was so clean and tidy. Then I saw this 5 lane dual carriage road. I was like no be this same oil wey them get we get for naija too and to dualise roads, govt go dey tell us say money no dey. the thing vex me o. Entering the metroline was smtn else. Fast, clean no b naija railway where some mannerless persons wl be insulting you when you enter. The cul tn about the rails is that, every 5mins, another train is at the station. Then, d last but not the least, nepa.... sorry no nepa there, electricity dey kampe for there. Though every apartment buildings have generators but in my 5 weeks, didnt see them use it once. Was such a wonderful experience. I know Naija will get there one day soon. 2 Likes |

But when I went to France, I was shocked by the roads!!!!! we drove from paris to Le Creusot (about 4 hrs) without meeting a single pot hole!!!! |
