Thanks very much for your prompt response. I appreciate. Most of the ingredients I need are not in Spar. I'll try the other stores. God bless. I'll send a Dm to them too. Thanks once again.

Mexican food has gotten my taste buds wanting more during my last trip to Mexico. Will like to try it out here in Nigeria. The Chalaquies, tostada's, pozole, and many other cuisines I tried was out of this world. I will like to replicate same here in Abuja thru the help of YouTube of course. Where can I get the ingredients to cook the meal here myself in Abuja. The basic ingredients are readily available but some others are not. If i could get a chef I will pay to cook for me, even
better. Awaiting your response foodies.

My advice buy speaker and blast music. I am yet to find someone who is in the mood listening to " Holy Ghost Fire, Fire Fall on me

At the bolded, my neighbor whenever him and the GF wants to copulate. They play Gospel songs oo, the likes of Mercy Chinwo and I will be wondering if they have no conscience at all. Imagine playing God's song to copulate?? Some people don't send at all "
The girls would stop coming saying, their spirit isn't in the mood. In fact, the brother would be one complaining.



But what's going to happen when you single people start dating to get married ? How do you know you won't be as loud as your neighbour ?

Goddeywithme:
This is really sad. I am sorry for what you are going tru

Thank you

Ur solutions will work if u can sleep with music. I can only sleep with very low volume slow music. So it won't work for me. I would do something drastic. What's going through my mind is finding when they do sleep, and blaring music through a horn speaker

I must find what disturbs them and do that

udofia234:
Thank you my sis! you are really in the same shoes as I am, may be I'll put my music on a loud volume so I can sleep.

Nobody understands the trauma the poster is going through.

The worst feeling in this life is when a girl is moaning and not in your room.

I almost failed a very expensive professional exam when my then roommate brought a Zimbabwean girl that screams and moans when the vawulence was going on.

I had resigned to faith that I would have to write the exams again, but for divine grace and favour I passed.

Taofiq2005:
You can get a xiaomi redmi note 9(it was released in 2019), if you prefer tecno then choose spark 7, if you want a samsung then choose galaxy s7 edge(released in 2016 It camera is better than iphone 7's camera, it have a powerful processor and 4gb of ram) or galaxy a30(released 2019), if you want iphone then choose iphone 6s plus(released 2015). If you want a newer model(released in 2021 and 2022) then you might end up spending more (since the price of phones are going higher)

Spnn:
Please can you take my advice
A flagship phone of 3 years ago is way better than a mid-range phone of today!
Case closed
I am into tech so I am very sure bro

Taofiq2005:
Yeah that is another issue. What about tecno spark 8p for N85000 But it comes with less powerful processor(mediatek p22) compare to redmi (snapdragon 680 4g). But tell me which brand you think you can easily find a technician to their phone so that i can do more research and get back to you

StrafordSTONES:
I would have said women are like that but then I know alot of ladies who love to hangout and are constantly exploring the fun spots. You have to understand some people naturally love to stay indoors and there are people who are fun loving and outgoing; these set of people go out and explore. For you to discover any city, you have to come out, you can't stay in your house and think up the fun spots...I am taking a wild guess that you stay in the Lugbe, kuje axis...try and go out once in a while; visit jabi lake park, go to.jabi lake mall, go bawling @dooms, alotta lounges in wuse, clubs too....you have to step out or find friends maybe in your office who are fun loving and outgoing too.


You are absolutely right. I am an indoor person, Once I come back from work I remain indoors except something is taking me outside. We enjoy electricity in my area, next thing is to watch TV

I even find it difficult visiting friends and relatives . I have been hearing of jabi lake infact I will go there and see how the place looks like.

StrafordSTONES:
Kubwa has a alot of mountains but to hike and enjoy it, you need to find a group to tag along with


For nature park, checkout vitality park also known as central park , then magicland, and most importantly National Children park and zoo asokoro ( Asokoro has more sight Vis wild animals, large space with green area)

richmondefosa:
I just entered my house.

This draws this thread to a conclusion.

Thanks everyone for following.

richmondefosa:
I'm in giri junction. Facing airport road now. So yes. I'm in Abuja but not home yet.

We passed the arise TV guys at giri junction

Meanwhile, I just got a sad news. My paddy in the office is dead. I feel terrible. I took him to the hospital just Friday here.

richmondefosa:
Permit me to add that we've met a few security checkpoints manned by men of the Nigerian Police and the Nigerian Army.

The Nigerian army personnels were stern looking but nice guys. Cracked a few jokes for us. May I also add that they were smartly dressed and neat. I told one 'esprit de corps'. He asked which and I told him I'm not a force man but my dad and uncle were forcemen. I told him Major general**** was my uncle. You needed to see how his face lightened up. I also told him my dad's rank in the Nigerian Navy and the guy gave me a handshake.

God bless the Nigerian military. They're not perfect but they give their all to see us safe.

Unfortunately, I cannot say the same for men of the Nigerian Police force. Shabby looking men who were asking us for money.

I told one of them to dress properly and tuck in. He responded and said "your mama".

I looked at him straight in the eyes, called his rank and name. I said "sargeant bawa, what did you just say?" He froze and apologized.

Experience has taught me that When you call a service man by his rank and add his name, he behaves himself. Probably because he thinks you're a force man with a higher rank or you probably know his superior. This is a wild guess but it always always works for me.

richmondefosa:
It happened before Abaji.

At some point, tensions flared but the issue has been de-escalated.

Issue has been resolved. We're back on the road.

We're close to gwagwalada if the things I see around me suggest.

richmondefosa:
So we had an accident immediately after my last post.

A trailer stayed in the centre of the road. After honking several times, he didn't budge so we decided to overtake.

While overtaking, we were honking. More than half of our vehicle has passed, the trailer driver swerved towards us and hit us. The hit damaged a small part of our bumper.

Both drivers parked to assess the damage. Trailer driver is saying we're the ones that hit him. We're insisting that he's the one that hit us.

On careful observation, the driver doesn't even have a side mirror so he didn't see us coming before he swerved towards us.

Trailer driver is asking to pay 15k for damage. Our driver is angry. He called panel beater and panel beater is saying 40k.

They're here arguing. I'm snapping pictures for you guys.

Am i bothered? No.

richmondefosa:
I paid 14k.

richmondefosa:
We have moved o. The driver did not go through Lagos-Ibadan route. He said the road is terrible at some point.

He faced Benin -Ore road and said he'll climb the bridge at Ore and connect towards Owo. Who am I to argue with driver wey Sabi road pass me.

Oya see pictures.

I'm impressed with the driver. A young family and easy going guy. The road is free. He said it's because it's Monday and people aren't going to the East.

We're doing 130/140 km/h

So far, everything is fine. The AC made the car temperature go up so he turned the AC off.

As at the time of typing this, were at Ore heading towards Akure. We left Lagos late. The driver is good.

We're 4 young men and 3 ladies in the car. Two of the ladies are with 3 kids.

The moment we hit the road, they all slept off. Na me and driver dey gist. nice guy I must admit

richmondefosa:
After a long year of working, I decided to take a break from work and embark on a two week vacation (leave as we all know it).

I will be going to Abuja by road.
Several reasons informed my decision to go by road. I can easily afford air travel but man, the thrills of road transport can never be over emphasized.

I am not a writer. But this thread was inspired by https://www.nairaland.com/7266856/asaba-maiduguri-via-abuja-road

I will be updating the thread as I move.

Cc missyojo come oooo

richmondefosa:
Hello.

Trust you are well.

I haven't forgotten at all.

Remember i initially wanted to do Lagos to Benin first then Benin to Abuja. i have changed my mind. I will now be doing Lagos to Abuja.

I am hitting the road on Monday. I will create a thread.

Thank you for the kind reminder.

Auskyd:
Send am to who need am. I dey comfortable bros. I no need your money lmao

richmondefosa:
An 80k salary is not a poor salary. We need to stop this.

It is an average salary to get by for a young graduate who's looking at starting out professionally.

They're many people who live on 12k salary in the north.

Many of our parents don't or didn't even earn that much but saw us through school.

The country is hard I know but 80k isn't a poor salary. Many of you are out of touch with reality.

richmondefosa:
I'm so much in love with this thread.
I wish you safe journey @Onlinefarmstore.

I'm an avid traveler but it's been so long I travelled due to the nature of my job that has kept me in Lagos. I prefer road travelling because it's fun and educating. The thrills of meeting new people, learning about routes, eating road side food with the locals. Omo. Nothing beats it.

That said, I will be taking my leave from work this month and I'll be hitting the road immediately.

From Lagos, I'll enter Benin. Spend a day or two then hit Abuja. Spend 2 weeks then hit the road again back to Lagos. I've never done Abuja to Lagos by road and I'm looking forward to the trip.

I can afford going by Air but what's the fun there? 45 - 50 minutes max and I'm back on ground.
Insecurity or not, many of us find purpose traveling by road.

I'll document my journey here on nairaland.
