So... I was bored after service and took a stroll to an eatery a bit far from my area. I was craving for this eatery's particular dish, special jollof and Fried rice but when I got there, they didn't have the special jollof. So I settled for rich jollof and special fried rice. Later stepped it down with a tiny cup of ice cream ( remember, I'm on a budget.). Last week ( Christmas day) I got. a bigger bowl of ice cream for 1400 though this one here is tastier.

Enjoy the video.

Happy New Year!

So many people couldn't afford your special Jollof, not to talk of the ice cream desert.

Happy new year my dear.

Who told you many could not afford it.?

People really trooped in, buying full bags but I just minded my one plate.

I know this year and subsequent years will be better.

I'm telling you. Forget all this "no money" people are crying. People were spending money like crazy at this eatery. I went to the next one to get pizza, they said pizza is finished. I came out and saw people trooping again to domino, I say no be me and una.

People were just spending like it's their last day on earth. As for me, I just renewed my rent and the thing shake me wotowoto. I cant afford to do anyhow.

Rich kids.

I remember well how many of the families around us while growing up could only afford basic rice and stew even during the holidays. In fact, what made the meal special was that the kind of rice prepared —Aroso rice instead of the usual rice — and everyone got bigger pieces of meat.

Some people have money, but it is also common knowledge that people inconvenience themselves to spend/travel during festive periods. No worry, by January 47th, their eyes go clear.

You really tried. Rent for this Dec is not child’s play. Well done!

LoL.. oh.. you mean Arosor rice? I was confused at first, it now clicked. Ah. That rice no dey again like that. It's now mamagold and all the rest.

Rice is still a luxury in some homes o. It is well.

Watching the way others lived during Christmas took the delight of the celebration away from me as I felt guilty a lot of the times that my parents could afford so much yet many of those around could barely eat anything.

LoL.. @January 47th. They will not realize now until then. I grew up knowing that January no be person mate.

Hmm... That rent is the Koko. I hate embarrassment on house issue. So I don't mind denying myself just to settle it. Once that is out of the way, I can now play rough.

Hmmm.... That's life for you.
Christmas was fun all through my childhood days cos my dad made sure he tripped us out to fun parks and everyone around was well to do back then . So I never really saw any family not having a great time.you know, ikoyi those days, it was a huge competition. No body liked to carry last.

It was after I grew up and moved to the mainland I discovered another type of life entirely and began to see things that break my heart.

I grew up in Ikorodu — Lagos rd/Benson st., not too far from Garage roundabout — and everybody was definitely not rich.

I attended Ayangbure Primary school, Isiu Grammar school, and later Government College Ikorodu as well. So yes, I was surrounded by the reality of life in Nigeria whichever way I looked, almost every single day of my growing-up-in-Nigeria life.

ThoughtOfYou:
Rich kids.

Na una dey make Buhari feel say he has done well for Nigeria.

This has nothing to do with rich kids. Ladies generally don't have anything meaning or serious they think abt apart from food, their look and abt the SIMP guy that want to spend on them unlike we men that have so many responsibilities on our heads to carry.

Just listen to yourself. Ladies don't have any serious thing they think about. My bills and rent, na you dey pay am for me?

My wardrobe, na you dey change am? Or did I tell it's a man that is doing all those for me? Please dont say what you don't know and stop generalizing. I'm not like other girls you know that do it.

Hmmm only God knows what that place looked like back then because till now, ikorodu has not fully developed like that. I've never been there before but from what I hear about the place, it doesn't sound encouraging.

It used to be quiet and sparsely populated. Back then villages like Maya, Isiu, and Imota were tucked in the middle of nowhere, and with a population of less than 300 in many cases. Now, I barely recognize any of the places as it is all so overcrowded, in a way that makes no sense at all. There are buildings everywhere and no space to even give the eye rest from all the overcrowding. The governments since the time I left really did Ikorodu bad abeg!

I know someone who just moved to that area. She said it's still very quiet at least compared to island and mainland environs.

Yeah, the place suddenly got crowded when the mainland became too expensive to live in. Many started trooping to ikorodu where land was cheaper and began to buy land and build. Some went there to rent because it was way cheaper than the mainland. The migration to ikorodu that period was massive.

Maybe they just built anywhere the owners sold to them and because no govt bodies to survey and issue proper building plans as at that time, that was why the buildings were done anyhow.

I don't think the Govt even have interest in that area as they may feel nothing much to gain. The only places you see them flexing muscles and showing interest is the island and mainland where they go about marking buildings up and down so they can get settlement to approve a building project.

You suppose don build Palace for there by now as an old time member of that community. Kor kor


Yay! I finally got this emoji!!! I never knew it was downloadable from here na. LoL.. abeg use more. I want that confused one you were using back then.

Issokay!!!

Special jollof and Fried rice but when I got there, they didn't have the special jollof.
So I settled for rich jollof and special fried rice.
