Nigeria is blessed with natural resources but cursed with evil leaders like Buhari, Tinubu, Osibanjo, Jonathan, IBB, Lawan and co.

Hello Nikky,

I love the pictures you have been sharing with us this season. But I just want to share this my first experience Of White Christmas with you and everyone.

As a teenager, I always loved watching or seeing Hollywood Christmas movies especially on Hallmark movies Channel. Its something I looked forward to every Christmas.

The best part was always the part they play in the snow, build snow men or when I hear stuff like; "its white Christmas!" I remember I used to wish we had snow during Christmas in Naija. I would have given anything to convince God to change our yeye harmattan to winter.

Anyway to cut this long story short, somehow I traveled abroad and it was a wonderful experience. All my mind was like; finally, I will experience white Christmas. November arrived, and the cold was okay. Snow came and I was waiting for the type I used to see on TV.

When December arrived with the snow, I just began packing my bags. The cold no be here! It felt like living inside the freezer. Infact it was worse. My heart nearly froze. It was under a thick blanket and with my heater running at full blast 24/7 that I realized white Christmas na Scam. It is fine only in the movies ooh. Infact, the cold made our cold harmattan Christmas feel like childs play. I could not even go out not to talk of building snow man abi woman.That was how my childhood dreams came crashing down on me �

I am happily back and enjoying the Christmas season and our local delicacies with friends and family. Our electricity is not stable but the weather is simply the best for a Christmas celebration and I am loving our harmattan season with my full chest.

That cold, helps people optimize, helps them think well, helps them to be efficient, you cannot afford to be lax or play like in Africa grin grin grin.

You have to pay the bills for heating, things can get dire and critical (life or death).

Maybe this is the reason, why they developed faster lo.

Maybe we should have this kind of weather in Nigeria, so it will wake the brains up. cheesy cheesy cheesy cheesy

Now they can afford to live without facing the harsh realities of extreme, i wonder why is extreme heat not helping us optimize.

I don't think it's about marketing themselves as having the best life. In their movies, all they do is to market their way of life. There's very little that u can negate in their movies as being parallel to how they actually live

Snow and winter are the worst. They look cool on TV before I travelled but on arriving abroad I realized, both are just the worst! First of all snow is annoying to walk on and when it stops snowing, then begins to melt, you have to be very careful when walking so you don’t slip and fall. You might even be at the train station packed full with people, next thing na ground you go see yoursef. Also, when it snows, snow itself could get into places you really don’t want it to get especially if you are not wearing a hoodie or using an umbrella

Winter in general is the worst weather ever! Everywhere is very cold and it is like you are constantly in a deep freezer and na so you go dey pack cloth, sweaters and jackets full body whenever you leave your house. And while in doors, you better have your heater on and also so nice warm clothes else you might freeze to death.

What will you do if I told you I rocked 3 winners in shorts, a sweater, and a sandal?

I loved the feel of the cold against my body however, I hated its pains on my ears. I stopped the year a man approached me that he could get me winter gears cos I had more than enough but I was enjoying my crazy attitude.

I can understand how you will be feeling right now Cox the little Experience I got while I was on 12 hours trip to Ethiopia ( Adaddis ababa )....even Without snow, my heart, lungs were seriously shivering ....to make the matter worse, I thought if I had a drink ( beer ) it would make my body hot oo.....when I sip the Beer like this, it was like swallowing real Ice oo....it was then I did what I had not done before in my life oo....just to save my shivering heart and lungs, I then took their weed oo when I couldn't get a cigarette Cox I used to watch white men smoking during winter on TV, hmmm....this made matter worse oo....I nearly run mad....was seeing everyone as tiny as an ant �....infact, it was really a bad Experience..... I'm Cha happy I could survive the night before I tear race go airport the next day and flew back to my Nigeria oo....Now, if I could feel like that in a country where there was no snow as at that time oo....how would you feel in a country covered with snow...see ehn, the experience no be here grin grin grin
