Last Last there's no place like home.

Just wish more Africans could have that mindset to cherish what we have here and stop seeing anything foreign as being superior to us.

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.

So how then did the ancient whites survive winter and how did our ancestors survive the colds of harmattan since they only put on loin cloth

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

Our weather is very bad. The sun is horribly harsh and causes migraine and the harmattan dust is just bad and your body turns dirty white with painful cracked lips. I prefer abroad weather. Cold is better than harsh sun

It was a white Christmas yesterday but right now, it is a wet Christmas. See the streaks of water on the glass pane?

But it is freezing cold.

If Nigeria has same opportunities, security and standard of living no body will be traveling... Only those without money and who don't know how to care for their bodies complain of Nigeria's weather. The useless leaders are the problem

I have experienced both. I know the difference. You don't want to experience winter. Winter does not only split your lips open like harmantan, it also affects your internal organs. It affects the bones because there is less sunlight.

Hope you know they weren’t just wearing loin clothes? They had other things to wear like furs from animals killed. And I believe they might have moved from place to place; like migrating to hotter regions once the winter begins to set in. It is either that or they would store food for the winter and then hibernate in places they can keep warm all through the winter.

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.
