That annoying moment when people who are still happily living in oshodi claim to miss nothing about Nigeria. As if they are in the U.S or outside Africa.


Back to the topic.
I've been in the U.S for quite long now. I think the U.S.A is more favorable than Nigeria.

You can make some dollars from every little thing you do. #no free labor# you know?

This is part of what we miss too when abroad. Lagos Street Drama

With all those speakers blasting everywhere under the hot sunshine like iwaya. All the agberos doing their thing "disorganizingly" but at the same time making some cool monies from transporters. Mama put joints(iya iya iyabo or iya bisi) in every nook and crannies with non stop traffics of people from all walks of life,including children.It is a since to behold and participate in once in a while.

Nigeria is a great country,the problem is lack of strategic policy makers and executioners.

I'm surprised you didn't mention the night sky...thanks to the lack of light pollution (PHCN always holding power) in Nigeria, you get to see the night sky more. All my years in England, I've only experienced blackouts thrice, it's always funny. Some folks would be panicking.

Number 9, you can actually get a bargain, if you ask. Obviously, you don't try this in a supermarket or a proper store, but you can do this in 2nd hand shops.

C'mon, you can even get free water (tap water) over here (UK), just ask. Some places might try to charge you though. The last place I went to that did this, I took the glass they served me with. I would tell them they charged me for using the pint glass. I would even give them additional warning that I would be taking it, they'd agree.
Seriously, I do not want to get arrested for a pint glass...that would be highly embarrassing.

Lies!!!

In NYC, car stereo can blow you off. NOISE!

In Manhattan, car honk, surging sun heat and hold up will always remind you of Idumota.


Manhattan... I miss nothing about New York except the ghetto called Harlem. grin
