TONYE001: Wow! We are at the Frontpage...

Thanks to the hands that made this possible...

Thanks to you all for your comments...

I won't disappoint you...

More updates on the way...

Wow Op thanks for this thread. It was a fantastic read i must confess. I have a glimpse of West Africa through your eyes and i feel like traveling myself. I cant believe the thread has been on since September and i only came across it today thanks to ''front page things'' i would have missed it. I also think you are a fantastic writer and i enjoyed the stories of your class mates at Togo (although it would seem one or two people got bored)
I love traveling and experiencing new cultures but i doubt if i can brave it on my own like you did. I got some questions for you if you dont mind.
Have you traveled to any of these countries before?
How much would you say you roughly spent on your trip? You dont have to be exact a rough estimate would do.
How many countries did you travel to in total?

nice write up Mr.tonye, but d issue with nysc u mentioned in ur initial post,I never heard of it before,maybe it's peculiar to ur school...In fact I know of a graduate of lasu who got admitted through direct entry and currently seeing out his service year in bauchi.. Back to ur story, something tells me u are a son of a pastor or someone who is deeply religious. u mean u didn't knack zika apako at all?...chai ! bros eh,not even any other togolese lady?
BROS U ARE SLEEPING ON THE BICYCLE!

Nawa for una sha. this is the second poster wanting to find out about op and ladies or a lady on his trip. Why should he give out such information even if met one or didnt? He owes no one gist about his personal life. Do you know if he is in a committed relationship or if such things are against his personal belief (he kept going to Winners on Sundays )

Did U get to Bleep Zika?

Your descriptions were on point.It's really good to travel and visit new places.Reminds of when i passed through Port-Novo,saw people by the roadside selling petrol in kegs and Cotonou,I could count the number of cars amongst bikes.U go fear fear women on bikes.It's been a while though,don't know of now.I simply can't wait to travel to Togo to start my french course afresh.

Christ! I love adventures. I just need time and enough cash . West Africa too on my mind.


Good work, OP.

That ATM stuff really got me rolling!

Meeeeeennnnnhhhhh....had to power on my gen to charge my battery as it ran down while reading this...can't belief I read from 0 page to the last page at a stretch. You have really re-invigorated the traveling part of me...will surely work towards it in the nearest future. But my intension is to learn either Portuguese or Spanish but still have a little taste for French.

You are a good descriptive/narrative writer bro...please "ginger" they go.

And don't tell me that you didn't "eye" any ripe tomato(es).

peleson: You are a very polished boy. A typical portharcourt boy. Rivers State will soon be the most enlightened and educated state in nigeria following Amaechi's investment in education

oh, see dis one, before you think say port harcourt people no dey go school....?

Thanks to front page, you kept me awake for 1:20 minutes. Keep on the write-up, page bookmarked.

On my way to Ghana few years ago we stoped at Lome Togo I needed a place I can pay and use their toilet and they directed me to a man which I gave money to use their toilet. After payment the man brought a little water in a kettle (to clean up after) and showed me a bush that I should go inside the bush and look for a vacant space to use. Men if you see loads of shyte for inside the bush you go fear. That is the first time I saw where they are using bush as a paid toilet. Fear nor let me enter the bush more than three foot before i run back o because of snake and smell of other people shyte wen full the bush.

Wow, Pa Soyinka and the likes may love to see you. I think you could become a great novelist. Great work. Thanks.

That Senegalese rice almost made me lost appetite...pleasem don't eat that food next time...can't believe people eat moulded rice.

But meeehnnnn....Nigeria get food well well and I thank God for giving us the skills of great meal preparations.

Still prefer my Igbo foods anytime anyday.

Imagine a human eating sauce and raw garri...God have mercy.

Can't believe I lost my sleep over this....it was worth it tho.

The raw garri, mumu oleya , Togo 101.2, ATM at Dakar all got me cracking hard

...And I must commend ur impeccable way of writing, it's beyond extraordinary.

By the way, I studied Microbiology at UNIPORT also through Basic Studies. So I should say pleased to meet u
