I eventually forced them to eat.

3 people turned to 4 till 6 people. When the drinks got finished and I suggested another Hennessy, It was 38k at the hotel. they all refused and collected 10k from me, sent someone to go buy Hennessy from a store but u fortunately, it was 15k. They bought andre and red label, both for 7,500 and returned 2500 back to me..

3 people drank from 11am, 3 people joined arround 3pm and all left arround 7pm. With the exception of the Andre and Red label, and the gift of Andre and Hennessy I brought from my room, the 4 plates of food and total drinks they consumed for 8hrs came to a total of N61k+. The bros kept apologising they knew they have over stepped their boundaries by putting me into debts, but I told them not to worry about it.

In $$ equivalent, it's around 170$, money I'll make if I drive LYFT for 2 days(early morning, late night and early morning next day)..

My Conclusion : I'm sure there people out there in same situations as them. I thank God for my life.

IF I have 2 wishes, my first wish will be asking God for financial breakthrough for struggling Nigerians.

God will heal the land of Nigeria, Nigeria will be great again.

Make our politicians have mercy on us and stop stealing money that belongs to millions of Nigerians

HAPPY NEW YEAR

I have 2 frustrations.

Number 1: People I know in Nigeria be saying when I come home, I need to be very careful(its a good advice). Dont walk, dont take bike, always go with your car BUT the way I saw people driving on the road assured me I can't survive that kind of driving no more without bashing my car and my driving license will even be delivered to my on Wednesday(Jan 1st). My friend that helps with movement had to go on errands and I have places to be. My friends in the US said it's a bad idea to go to the bank alone that I might be kidnapped. I was like how will be kidnapped? Will I walk to the bank and say " Hey people, I'm from the US". I have a very strong ibadan accent just like Aywhy93 grin so how will someone kidnap me. I'm a full blooded Nigerian and I just want to experience stuffs that I have done before. I walked to the bank smiling hearing the horn of cars, people cursing lol.. I took a bike and was so glad. I enjoyed the breeze as the bike was rolling down iwo road. It reminded me of my roots and how fun it is to be climbing back then AND I wasnt kidnapped..



Frustration Number 2 : When i visited people I had to deliver goods to, Anytime I say "My name is xxxxxx and your son sent me from the US" You see them kneeling down and all kind of stuffs and kinda made me so embarrassed. They were giving me some kind of treatment but I just want to be seen as a person that I am not because of where i come from/lives. I have been asked severally how I'm coping with the hot weather. I'm always quick to remind them that I'm a Nigerian and weather can't do no harm. The weather I have had for over 30 years. I was being treated because of my "status" which I really didnt like at all. We are all human beings before any other things else

When they saw the food they want and the price, the second guy said refused right away and said "This is equivalent to my monthly salary, I wont spend the worth of my monthly salary on food". I was so heartbroken. They opted for 3 plates of assorted pepper soup and asked for 3 drinks of Monster. When they walked with me to the private lounge, on citing the Hennessy, they started re arranging the bottles on the table and taking pictures with them. I could see the excitement on their face.

One of them said, This will be the first time of drinking Hennessy this year. I work so hard so as to take care of my family and when I feel like drinking dry gin or Alcohol, both of us will go a local place to drink herbs prepared with Alcohol. That's how we enjoy our lives.

At that point, I started believing the situation of things.

We went to my Father's Village. I was there last in 1999.

My definition of Village is mud houses.

Its somewhere in Oyo State.

The last picture was the village church(Anglican). I dont know whether its existing or not.

I took her to Olumo Rock today and the Palace of EgbaLand.

I almost passed out walking those stairs. To make use of the elevator, we need to pay 1500 each but unfortunately, I wasnt holding my wallet. I wont try that again.

I choose to take her to all these local places because there so many beautiful places abroad. So she cant be "wowed" with that kind of things. Only these kind of small things can do the magic for sight seeing.

We planning to do Erin Ijesha water falls
She wants to ride tricycle(keke maruwa) and so on.
Oje Marketplace or Itamerin Market place
