i see nothing wrong with the pics by the way. that red pepperm only will tempt anyone to come visit and taste real food(no gm nonsense)

my dear bol,
i perfectly understand your feelings but truth be told all we see on this site are the skylines of victoria island, abuja, newly built airport terminal and Tinapa. But let us be honest with ourselves what minute percentage of Nigerians live in VI, Abuja? How many people will ever get to see the airport terminal? When 80% of Nigerians live below the poverty line we can easily figure out how many will ever be able to afford to window shop at Tinapa.

For once let us celebrate the life of the common man, those on whose backs our luxury has been derived. If your white friends are put off by pictures of our molues and market women then i don't consider them true friends. After all you have not gone back to Nigeria in protest over the incessant killings and muggings that take place in Britain and your white friends arent making any special effort to hide such from you in order to win your friendship.

This must be ijebu garri!
