This can never happen in Naija, I have had my fare share of your experience. I just dress like a local market woman when going to places where I will be judged by my appearance and speak better Edo pidgin.

That's the way oooo, I used to live by the Sawmill as a kid till when I was in my senior secondary school. those of you who are in lagos will know it, you'll see it from the Third maintain bridge towards Yaba.

I went there some months before I travelled and I got stares. I went to overwhelmed that I thought I might be robbed or kidnapped. I think I overheard someone say in Yoruba, Where did this JJC come from?

The British took the Irish as slaves (few decades ago). It was so much that some started writing in their bars "no dogs, no blacks, no Irish"

Yeah thanks, my boyfriend told me the history nd honestly i was shocked bt it isn't about racism bt xenophobic because Irish are white people. I wasnt surprised they were oppressed by Britain because they are known to be notorious oppressor!!

Well, you'll have to do pre masters for TWO YEARS or post graduate diploma, also two years for Canada. Then do your masters for another TWO YEARS, By the time you have your masters, I would have gotten 3years working experience, settle down finally and Wife would have been carrying my baby in her tummy.

Bear in mind there are lots of fake universities in canada offering degree. You've got to be careful

I've taken more risks than that, I've experienced a gun pointed at me, I've braved the Perilous road between Zamfara and Kebbi state at midnight after the park chairman repeated told me that I shouldn't waste my life as a corper. I ended up going in the journey and we met the fulani herdsman, they posed as soldier and blocked the road, my driver just thought as much and turned the vehicle around.

The thing that was pushing me to take risks melted.
We ended up chilling in a small village till it was daybreak. We got to the small checkpoint, it was no more there. The soldiers wont leave a checkpoint like that.

Well, that's a clearer picture of the picture in the boohoo ad, I hope seun.... can be able to guess where I took the shot.


Theres something really interesting here, it's really fun to see. I would have taken shots of it in the street but I felt it will be very rude. Just imagine if I'm caught.
They say it's not cheating if you're not caught in the act. They didnt caught me, lol

There's this trend I see among elderly folks here, they walk about with this thing they push around, a local person will call this wheelbarrow, lol.
It's like an upgraded version of a walking aid for those with arthritis, it's a lot common for older women.
For men, he has to be so old and bent before they use it or when they have a physical problem.

This is very utilitarian and functional than for aesthetic reason, the men go about with their walking cane and are judged by the society. The aesthetic and beautiful walking cane is fast loosing ground. Even those who use it feel shamed.

In a place like Nigeria, once you sleep and see the walking cane or stick, it's to embark on thirty days Dry fasting n prayers.

The walking aid these women use has wheels at the base, so you just push it, a lot of them come with a small platform with little foam so you can sit on it when you're tired. You can can hang your handbag on it.

Most of these elderly people live alone, so go, buy transport their shopping home themselves. Remember that in this country, everyone is equal. You can't just get a house boy, you'll need to pay at least €15,000 to him a year. Convert that to naira and your head will correct. The minimum age here is working.
It's like a bicycle, only your leg is pushing it, it has a break system so the old mama does not ride it down downhill in top speed, hahaha.
If there's no break, 1000 ways to die will rush and add it to their list.

So they have another type of walking aid with a gap for storing things, they'll be able to push their groceries home simply with it. See how life is. Instead of focusing on Maids and security and paying heavily while in our case, we pay them peanuts, they rather spend money on robots and technology to aid humans in their weaker days.

Much respect to this thread, but 'slaves' is totally the wrong word. The Irish were suppressed and bad deeds were done on both sides, but the Irish were never slaves. The last slaves taken in UK and Ireland were over 200 years ago by Arab pirates.
