Very nice pics paddy my brother, You sure do take a lot of pics while you in Nigeria. abeg keep posting if you have more. BTW do you have any from the east ?

@paddy_lo

Please post the picture of the south african lady again . . . i guess she is south african cus she looks like one.

Is it me or does she look like the pictures of the Egyptians depicted on their archealogical busts and images . . . could there be a connection between south africans and egyptians or something.

She really rocks the skin head . . . i have noticed that contrary to general opinion (which i am also guilty of ), some south african ladies are actually quite beautiful most especially when they rock their skin heads . . .

She is really beautiful to be frank . . .that skin head style really fits and matches her a lot.

well, paddy lo goodluck on ur return to lagos. i guess theres no place like home. but how u guys do it still amazes me with all the stories of how there's never electricity or clean water and people running in ur house and straight jacking u for all u got and sometime pushing ur wig back in the process. yet, my ex's dream was when "we'd" go live in lagos. i got tired of telling her i'd never live in such a place that i started fantasizn wit her just to make her happy. hate what i hear of the country, but love the people. been nothing but good to me, even tho some can be shady as hell, i guess u get that in every race. but i can live in such a place , i 'd die of worry.

"but i can NEVER live in such a place"****

@ poddy lo


Abeg me and you get serious talks later about one babe I see for the last set of pics


The babe on the horse looks like someone I know

@Paddy_lo, 1000% gbosas for you!!!
Yaaaaaaaaay na Lagos be this? 
This is BEAU[i]R[/i]IFULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL! 

I have heard it parroted for as long as I can’t remember that Nigeria’s hyperpopulation is one of the reasons the country is failing. And from the first time I heard this flawed reasoning I have always countered it.

Good pictures but what % of the population have access to these facilities or can afford it?

I would say 0.01%.

On that basis, it is still far way to go and seems to take 'foreigners' to enjoy NIGERIA!

what a country!

@Paddy lo I say beautiful my brother keep showing us all that is positive about Nigeria,it look like some Nigerians who are abroad are not happy with this developments,is it because soon it won't make a different whether you come back with a fake accent and pretend to better than the rest? Or they hate the fact that lost hope on Nigeria too soon?.

I am happy with what Nigeria is achiving and hope that we will see more Fasholas at helm of Nigeria's governance.

I KNOW THIS IS A PIC POST THREAD BUT READ BELOW
Nigeria's returning entrepreneurs

By Caroline Duffield
Africa Business Report, BBC World News, Nigeria


Kabir Audu has returned to Nigeria after years of working on Wall Street
Kabir Audu is a Nigerian millionaire. He's 35. And he has an idea.
"It was Ben Gurion in the late 1940s," he says.
"He called on Israelis around the world to come home. To build an Israel greater than their wildest imagination."
He pauses.
"We see Nigeria every day - tremendous talent, this tremendous potential. Imagine if it's wielded toward one vision."
Kabir and his friend Tunji Abdul are living proof of Nigeria's mass migration homeward.
Both were making a fortune on Wall Street. Both were bored.
'New life'
"Every deal felt just an extension of a previous project," says Tunji.

Kabir and Tunji are planning Lagos's first sustainable skyscraper
"I came back to Nigeria after 10 years. I realised this place was calling for young entrepreneurs - to breathe new life into the system.
"That's why I came back."
They're real estate developers, building modern homes - and the first sustainable skyscraper in Lagos.
It will harvest its own rainwater and be powered by solar energy.
"We want our architecture to shape the way people feel about their space, their community," says Tunji.
"Great buildings, inspirational buildings, don't just have to be in the UK or the US."
Renaissance
Tunji and Kabir are two among hundreds of thousands.
Bode Pedro is another.
He's 26 and runs a computer manufacturing start-up business employing 75 people.
"It's a renaissance," he says. "We're talking about art, science, technology, entertainment, media and business.

Recruitment agencies specialise in bringing talented Nigerians home
"People are coming home because they want to be part of it."
All of them were educated in the US, but their rich American accents are barely noticed in the nightclubs in Lagos.
Here, vowels from New York and Oxford blend into West African pidgin English.
Another giveaway - Lagos is sprouting recruitment agencies with a difference.
They specialise in bringing talented Nigerians back home.
"In 2003, we thought around 5,000 people a month were coming in," says Funto Akinkugbe from Find A Job In Africa.
"That's multiplied by three now. We're looking at the best part of 15,000 people on a monthly basis."
Seeking shelter
The influx is startling. Nigerians have a word for them - "re-pat".
And, it appears that there are two types.
Entrepreneurs like Kabir and Tunji have spotted a market and are starting businesses.
Some 140 million people living here makes Nigeria quite a business opportunity.

You have to make sure you're one step ahead. Get up earlier and leave the office later
Tunji Abdul, entrepreneur
Meanwhile, thousands of others are seeking shelter from the global financial crisis.
Job losses in the financial sector - and the financial crisis itself - make going home suddenly seem very attractive.
And these refugees are attractive employment for the entrepreneurs tapping into Nigeria's potential.
With a huge market and a huge labour force combined, Nigeria ought to stand alongside Brazil or Russia.
So why doesn't it?
'One step ahead'
The answer is that Nigeria has not enjoyed the same economic growth.
Here, a businessman's lot is not always a happy one.
Chronic electricity failures, traffic jams that last for hours, the delays, the half truths and shadows of corruption. All of that makes doing business here very difficult.
"What do you need to survive? Passion!" laughs Tunji Abdul.

Bode Pedro says Nigeria is changing fast
"You have to make sure you're one step ahead.
"Get up earlier and leave the office later. Move around when traffic is a bit less.
"It's your business to find a solution."
And if you can make it work the rewards are worth it.
"Nigeria is phenomenal," says Kabir.
"People keep saying, 'Oh, you gave up a lot of money on Wall Street, to come back here…, '.
He pulls a face and smiles. "Actually, it's not the case. In terms of rate of return, it is significantly higher than where we're coming from."
Being part of change
Bode Pedro agrees.
"Nigeria is so fresh. Right now, we have 5% computer usage here.
"It's changing fast - and you're either part of it, or not."
For all of them, the bottom line is very good - but the personal kick that thrills them is the impact they're having.
"You coming here is being part of a renaissance," says Bode softly.
"In five years, you'll be part of something new. You'll be part of something different.
"You'll be part of the growth of a superpower called Nigeria."
He is deadly serious.

Lovely pics.

@Paddy lo I say beautiful my brother keep showing us all that is positive about Nigeria,it look like some Nigerians who are abroad are not happy with this developments,is it because soon it won't make a different whether you come back with a fake accent and pretend to better than the rest? Or they hate the fact that lost hope on Nigeria too soon?.

Frankly my man i dont get it,it could be ignorance or all of what u state above

when u tell people u can make more money at home than here,they look at u like u are mad

they only want to believe the negative,as if we dont have suicide bombs in india,terrorism and corruption in indonesia

but indians and asians too are going home

when i first came here and i told ppl Nigeria would eclipse South Africa as the largest economy in Africa in 5yrs or less,they look at me like am mad

if u watch the first video,u will see what the lady is saying is that the private sector has taken over mostly
even if yar adua is dull,and uninspiring,the young hungry proffesionals in lagos and other cities are taking over the business and economic activity that used to be from only the govt

one other thing,even though our govt is not perfect,it is way better than tons of other african countries that have one man dictatorships,eg egypts mubarak,cameroons biya,gabons bongo,libyas ghaddafi,musevini in uganda,zenawi of ethiopia,dos santos in angola and so on

in Nigeria we have managed to make it impossible for one man to rule us forever,that means people like fashola,soludo and the rest have a chance to become leaders someday,i am hopeful for the future of NIGERIA,SOUTHAFRICA and AFRICA
