"The mrs is at home resting, she had a stressful day. I love spending time with the kids, my dad did this for me too, he would take me out to play and have fun, and he would also read me stories at night. It made me sharper and it helped my development and that's what I want for my kids too." 21 Likes 3 Shares

"We are very good friends, we met in church. We share some of our goals and plans and are helping each other reach them, I love that we share the same values and have the same beliefs. We are not dating tho and I can't tell you I know how a man knows he has found the woman for him, I'm not married and I don't have much knowledge about all that but what I know, is when you find the woman you want to spend the rest of your life with, you will know in your heart, you will know she is the one, even without titles." 13 Likes 3 Shares

"This is my Son's first time in Lagos, when he was in the village, he kept telling me about his love for boats and how he can't wait to see them. I just brought him to Lagos and the first thing I did, was bring him here so we can watch speed boats together." 18 Likes 3 Shares

"I work in Ikoyi club and one thing the expatriates always gush about, is how much they love Nigeria and want to spend their whole life here, it's just like if you taste Nigeria even with all it's badness, you never want to go back. Even Nigerians that travel outside in search of greener pastures, always yearn for home. No matter how well the country you travelled to works, you still miss home. Things are slowly getting better but so many things still needs to be fixed. The thing I like most about us, is our survival spirit. No matter how tough things become, Nigerians must always survive." 8 Likes 2 Shares

aitop:I wished I didn't say I would start on a particular day, I said that out of excitement of being encouraged. I had exams during this period, then a faulty camera, then issues with USB to copy pictures, and loss of exposures. Thank God I'm settled now. I really commend tochisphoto for holding on to street photography, its not so easy as you may think, a lot of turn down, people scared with strangers, and you have to convince them so well before you'll be granted to hold a conversation. I don't blame anyone though. My observation for street photography is passion for it and reasons or purpose for it. So far I've really enjoyed meeting people and here each person's opinions. 2 Likes |

"In 1986, my Dad gave me 1 naira for dash, the most I had earned before was in kobo so the N1 was huge to me. I remember been afraid to move around with it, knowing I had 1 naira inside my pocket made feel like I was carrying something very heavy. The following day, I took it to school and the woman I wanted to buy snacks from refused to sell to me, she seized the money and insisted I bring my father so he can verify he was the one that gave me the money. That's how disciplined people were back then, but now you'll see a 20 year old driving a big car and buying expensive things with no verified means of income and no one cares or ask questions, all they know is the person is rich and will be worshiped finish." 15 Likes 4 Shares

"I was the best graduating student from my set in OOU, but I could not go for my NYSC for 2 years, because the school misplaced/lost some of my files. It was a really terrible time for me, I felt the whole world was passing me by and I was just static. My mates finished their service and it was as if everyone I knew was getting employed and I've not even started my journey. Instead of staying at home sulking, I decided to do something and add value to myself so I took a job, a computer operator for a small shop in my neighborhood. The pay was very small, but I kept going cos I was learning new things. Years later after everything was sorted out and I was done with service, the numerous computer skills I learnt back then came in handy and helped me secure a job in the biggest Ecommerce website in Nigeria. If not for that setback, I don't think I would be where I am today so I believe everything happens for a reason and sometimes the bad experiences are just getting us ready for something bigger and better." 22 Likes 5 Shares
