Ma'am happy new year

Same to you my brother

Still on Wuse mkt..
Choose and buy

While cleaning out the house I stumbled on one small gold earring like that.. I took it along and sold it for about 20k and got the rings

Last time I bought gold was about 6,500-7,500 per gram, gold on this day was going for 28,000 -30,000 per gram.

If you have some, hold on to your wealth

We took advantage of the Abuja sun to dry out our fish, stockfish and veggies. The hotel staff were very accommodating. God bless them..

Hubby's colleague that travelled in Sept had his dry fish confiscated. Either he was over the 20kg limit or he packed them whole with the head. Fish dey start from head spoil.

I watched on 'Nothing to Declare' that if you pass the 20kg allowance, the Agric guys will cease all. So don't think they will take the excess fish and return 20kg back to you. No! They'll cease all. Money fiam!

Ok! As you were!

See eh, I start from the entrance vex.
We carry frozen palm Oil, the FAAN guy said can't travel with it.. To be fair, we saw some ceased palm oil under the desk but..... Haba! Palm oil where we place special order from Villa

After all the talk talk, he said we can go with it since it was rock solid frozen and tightly wrapped. .

Next the NDLEA woman sat with a Customs guy, upon sighting our passports, she handed us over to the guy and said 'your people'.

Bro said we should find something and give him to give madam, I vex o.. Upon sighting some big men on their way, he asked us to go

Next Agric guy, I just tire abeg...

That red cap white Ibo man was fun to see. I was waiting for him to converse with somebody in Ibo lang and maybe nack small proverb .

Travelling in Covid times...

May this too pass away. Amen

We flew Turkish connecting via Istanbul..
No food. Rubbish bread, small piece of cake..

Too annoy to snap it so (pix courtesy of @Hotstfz007 in the US POE stories). Exactly the same thing we were served.
Same thing served as dinner (departure meal) and breakfast (pre arrival meal)


Hygiene kit. Sanitizer and 2 Nose masks

Up and away.. Best view in the plane
Didn't do Istanbul pics as I had already covered that on my way home

The UK ever green..
Waiting to take off..
Coming in after us

Border...

Flight crew of I dunno

.

I remember when I posted it in July, 2019 with absolutely no idea how or when we will come back to this enchanting city. Heavens knows.

Little did we know God ways are not ours and His thoughts towards us are of good..

So dear Nairalanders, like a jigsaw puzzle, God put all the pieces in the right fix for us and here we are...

Be positive in your thoughts, actions and be intentional in your deeds, whatever you seek in this new year shall surely come to pass..

The way I take dey smile unnecessarily as i view those pics eeehn

Airport Environs...

We were fortunate to get accomodation from Nigeria. Originally a 3 bedroom for Airbnb but due to Covid and it's impact on tourism, the owner gave us a double bedroom for short let for 3 months. Instead of providing a guarantor, we paid the 3 mths rent upfront, bills inclusive- gas, light, internet, cable, Netflix, Amazon prime

Presently, we are the only occupiers. Pray it stays this way till we leave. Unchristianlike, I know

Murrayfield Stadium.. For Rugby
It's the largest stadium in Scotland and the fifth largest in the United Kingdom.

Quarantine views.. 7. 46pm. No snow

6. 30am Snow has fallen, snow on snow

Ma'am I know you're doing great.
Do you understand cockney?

No.. Cockney I believe is a London accent (one of anyway).. They said it’s what that middle class speaks. Hope you know there are about 40 or more dialects in the UK. In Coventry, I worked with a lady who spoke Geordie and I had difficulty understanding her most of the time
