With these your pics I think I'm just falling in love with Ireland because of the serenity I'm seeing there or is it because of the lockdown?

Thank you, thank you, I'm able to get the number of views I have from this thread and its encouraging. I dont look at the likes, personally I dont like stuff, its stressful. I even forget to like if I enjoy something.
From the views, I'm able to see if I'm actually making impact.

This is why I love Nairaland, shout out to Lalasticalala, seun, and Justwise.

Summer is approaching, I can finally go out with my fancy clothes.
I saw my sweat yesterday I think, was so happy how scarce it has been. I sweat like a Goat in Nigeria. It's great.
Was walking to get groceries and came across these sights, thankfully I remembered I had a phone normally I get lost in the ecstasy.
Be blessed as you scroll down.

This was how January looks like.
The first shot was taken when I decided to walk 40min to school from my former accomodation. It was a wonderful experience. The chilly wind blowing and all.

I used to cycle to school using that beautiful route till my bike was stolen, it wasn't very expensive, I bought a used one for about €60, I looked for a road bike that had better speed and all.
My experience with bike was quite nasty. I chained it almost directly in front of my college. The space directly in my college was cramped up, there wasn't any place to lock my bike so I went to the next spot I could find. It wasn't a great lock actually.
First experience with the chaining and all and city cycling. That was how it was lifted. The owners carried it.

I was walking across a lawn some weeks after my bike was stolen, and I saw a quite a new Mountain bike in a big football field. Something told me to carry it, but my good boy side won.
My neighbor was tired of his bike and wanted to get rid of it, he left it outside unchained and that was how he got rid of it.
I asked him about the bike, he told me that whenever the tire of his bike get so bad that it needs replacement or any serious work need to be done, all he does is to leave it outside for someone that is interested to take. Then he goes online and buys another one.
That is how they do here, if its unchained its mine. grin
I knew I don enter express road.

The next one was taken last week, summertime sadness

The first time I saw such a bus was in my primary school. It was in Lagos, I was done with school then, so I was walking home.
Then I saw it, my and my friend started calling it, One storey Bus. It looks like a one story building actually.
To actually be in one has a great feeling.
The Dublin bus is scattered all over.
The one with just one coach is for going to another County.

Nope oooo, they just reduce overcrowding. Once like 20 people is inside. The rest outside queue, until a person comes out, then they let the next person on the queue to enter. The queue max is like 5.

I hiked the next day after it was stolen because I didnt have the leap card. And I felt like trying it out. The hiking was fun because I wasn't even sweating. Small hike in Lagos, I'll be sweating like a cow they want to slaughter.

It’s called discipline, there’s time for everything.
Now you have to be more concerned about distancing yourself from people. In order to stay safe.

I really like this new house I moved in, it's full of Nigerians. It is the opposite of my former house where we it was full of Brazilians, chileans and Mexicans.
They were nice people but suffered some kind of inferiority complex because they couldn't speak English.
They study English for a living actually and keep renewing their application each year.
Due to the lack of English, communication problem arose. Whenever there was an issue, they'll run to the landlord or theyll put on the house group chat on WhatsApp.
They just find it difficult to come to the person they have issue with to complain so it can be settled. So the issue started escalate just as communication issue leads to divorce in marriages.
I had to leave and the next house I found with a lesser price, better interior design and the great thing was that electricity Bills is inclusive.
My former house didnt have the Bills inclusive, I now have to be managing the way I turn on the heater, thank God I didn't fall sick o. The heater was connected to the electricity, gas heaters are cheaper, look out for that when you're looking for an apartment outside Nigeria. grin

I couldn't bake my chicken till its Golden brown just to save on Bills. I reduced the way I washed also, because its like your prepaid meter, once it runs down, the app gives warning. You dont want to live in a house that doesnt have electricity.
Also the tap wasn't connected to the heater, imagine washing plate with freezing water, sometimes my hand will freeze and I would have to run upstairs to my room and turn on the heater. I almost got frost bite doing that. It was terrible.
Living in the new place with a gas heater system, the house is evenly warm. I dont have to run from the bathroom to the the room and cover up myself so I can stop shivering.

If theres something to learn, Go for a house that has the electricity Bills included in the rent.
You dont want to be paying €70 on electricity bills alone, and pay a hefty price for the rent.
While I was looking for an apartment, we got to one, I saw a naija guy there, he turned on the heater so high that we started sweating almost as soon as we got in and had to take off my gloves and jackets. I asked him if the bills was inclusive, he said Yes, Say no more.

The only downside to living with Plenty Nigerians is that they make Noise........
This is the other Spectrum compared to living with foreigners, with foreigners, I get more privacy, its quiet, less need to gossip and all. I enjoy the Nigerian songs they play with my speaker, homesickness is kept at bay, lol.

That is my backyard, it's quite bushy and unkempt, but we dont have snakes in Ireland, thanks to Saint Patrick, hehe. No rats here also.
