How can someone identify organic ones?

It is usually written on the prize tag ( look closely at the tag on the apples earlier posted), on the section of the particular fruits and if in doubt ask the store staff to differentiate it for you. See pix of Organic banana.

isit as hot as Lagos
During mid summer...June, July and August it is usually hotter...but I'll say a different kind of heat. You can escape Lagos heat by remaining in the shade..or using a fan. No doubt. ...sunlight burn you like fire in Lagos..not so in NYC... the sun an be bright..brilliant..but not as sharp. The heat here is different...like being locked in an oven..open windows at nights no difference...fan..no difference...you be drenched in sweat 2 a.m while doing absolutely nothing...not even thinking hard. A/c is like a must.

NYC....In every community there are these little Parks.... shady public places for people to sit and relax outdoors....just benches.... and are run by the FG. View inside another park nearby...one of the best in the city...the entrance.

Here in Germany it's quite different. There's absolutely no need for fan because when the sun shines, the weather is still cold. Little wonder the whities sun bath

Are you for real

What is expensive with buying ordinary fruit at $1.32 per dollar?

You are comparing the dollar rate with a very low in value Naira currency rate...unbelievable!

Parks these days have some locally made sports equipments mostly used by elders. I prefer them to gym. And some cool off with dances.

Do we have park's in Nigeria cos Abuja which I know very well converted their parks to drinking, eating and smoking joints.

Nigerians don't know how to relax outdoors and that is the best. It bonds families. It saddens me too.

Drove through time square last night,it was lit!
with how lit everywhere is I can only imagine how much you'll spend buying things, If you need to spend more than $5,000 monthly, you can make a request for a foreign currency (USD or GPB) card from FCMB and enjoy L-I-M-I-T-L-E-S-S international spending.

They call it Red box. I think it is America’s equivalent of what we call video club in Lagos (i dont know if it still exists). This one you pay, rent and return the video or game all by yourself without any human interaction. Talk about DIY. I could be wrong. Experts in the house should clarify..
