When packing, DH categorically told me: "don't bring those your Nigerian clothes here o. Any cloth you need, we will buy here. Instead, use that space to pack food". But did I listen, No! In my mind I was like "won't I go to church? Is it English I'll wear abi my Ankara? ![]() Then I went food shopping: grounded egusi, ogbonno, dry pepper, Cameroon pepper, assorted stock cubes, freshly dried fish (advantage of living in a riverine town!), crayfish, stockfish, pepper soup spice, suya spice, Tiger nut ![]() EDIT Took some packs of malaria drugs, paracetamol and antibiotics. DH has been complaining of fever for the past 2 weeks, and all oyibo prescribed for him was Ibuprofen ![]() I had baggage allowance of 46kg ie 2*23kg. Hand luggage of 7kg.. 18 Likes 3 Shares |

My flight was on Sunday but I left my town on Friday, so I can relax in Lagos on Saturday etc. I remember my mum asking me why am leaving on Friday instead of Saturday and I replied that only one flight per day leaves my town to Lagos and this being rainy season, anything can happen, flights can be cancelled at the last minute. This exact scenario played out on Tuesday: A close friend of mine and her family are going to Turkey for vacation. Their flight to Turkey was for Wednesday 8pm and they were to leave town on Tuesday by 5pm (only flight remember) to Lagos. According to her, while at the airport by 4pm, it started raining heavily till about 7pm. At 8pm, they announced that their flight has been cancelled to the following day by 5pm! She said there was this guy that was suppose to travel out of Nigeria the following morning, the guy had to make calls and got a chartered car from one of the transport companies to travel to Lagos that night! That's like 10-12 hrs on a good day o. God forbid! So my friend and her family went back home and left to a neighbouring State very early in the morning to make the 12.30 pm flight to Lagos. Thank God she is almost in Istanbul as I write this ![]() 13 Likes |

Our flight B777-300ER Senegal Airline on the Tarmac. While at the airport, I was so pissed with our government because of the wealth Nigeria and Nigerians are making for other countries and corporate bodies via their airlines. Queue 6 Likes
