pslm23: I haven't been to Nigeria in 4 years. it's sad that the last 2 times i went was to bury my dad and mom For my dad's burial i spent a total of 3 weeks...(the funeral lasted a whole 2 weeks!! haba! and the deceased family are required to be there at all times....! For my mom, i only spent 10 days in the East because i didn't have enough vacation and personal days left.
I would just love to visit and spend like 15 days not for funeral or wedding or naming ceremony, but just to hang out with my family and friends, drink tea from mai shayi, eat suya, eat mamput, eat correct home made bitterleaf soup, ukazi soup, beans and plantain, rice and stew, jellof rice, akara, moi moi, ijebu bread (and chew stone in the process )......hmmmm! I'm seriously homesick oh! but by God's grace, Naija will feel my footprint come December!
Travelling home can be fun but at the back of your mind you're also praying that armed robbers won't attack you, or you won't fall into the hands of trigger happy policement looking for "kola", or you won't have accident, or plane won't fall on your house while you're in it, or boko haram won't decide to visit your neighborhood or even that snake won't bite you, etc....

omega25red: all the people who go for 3 months, dont you have a job you have to get back to? or are you actually allowed to take such a long vacation.

Wallie: No one seems to go for only one week or less except me? There's nothing like people only getting to hear that you came home but gone before they could stop by! I'm about to do my one week visit again. Hopefully, my schedule and appointments go according to plan but that will never happen because people seem to have a different concept of time over there.

Are you in UK?

tlops: I stayed for three weeks and I got bored after two weeks. Thinking to reduce it.

Billyonaire: So people still live abroad ? That's absurd.

crackhouse: my brother ask them o. They prefer to be washing plates & cooking pots outside naija for peanuts whereas people that looks after my dogs here earn good money.

crackhouse: Conversation between John & Temitope who lives in U.S.A. John is rich and have a good job while Temitope doubles as a house help and a nanny. JOHN:- Temitope, i will travel to naija next week to see my parents. TEMITOPE:- haba john, i thought u travelled sometime last 2months. JOHN:- yeah but u know, i just want to see my mum & siblings and to stay with them for a while, u know. TEMITOPE:- it's o.k & when will u be back?. JOHN:- ehmm, i will stay just 2 weeks. TEMITOPE:- o.k, greet my mum for me when u get there. JOHN:- o.k i will do that but Temi wait o, is it not up to 4yrs u stopped visiting Africa?, Whats wrong?. TEMITOPE:- i felt there's no need visiting since i always speak with my mum & siblings on phone and besides i heard there's a lot of kidnappings & robbery in naija these days, i am afraid i may fall into their hands if i travel. JOHN:- but i have been travelling for a long time now and i have not heard or seen where sb was kidnapped, why will that thought of yours stop u from travelling to go & see ur parents for 4yrs now?. TEMITOPE:- ehmm, john u may not understand but i really know what i am talking abt. infact, to be frank with u i don't have money for air ticket. Do u know how much it will cost me to travel to Nigeria? That's roughly $5000k excluding the money for village expenses, where will i get that kinda money?. JOHN:- i feel ur pain, it shall be well o.k. TEMITOPE:- thanks john. I will wait till when i have saved enough money. JOHN:- bye. TEMITOPE:- bye, see u when u come back. Now pals, this is the real reason why many of our naija guys are stucked over there but they will tell u their reason is b/cos naija is bad as if there is no crime where they are. Whereas they are damn broke and they ain't gat no money.

r231:



why you dey abuse me now haba

BUSH MAN: really? hows that possible? weekend in naija.. might have to try that

Flight from UK to Nigeria is how many hours?
So they could leave Friday noon, and get to Nigeria and start the party Friday night, then, once the party is done on Saturday, they could leave Sunday noon and be in UK same night and get ready for work on Monday . .
