Omo this your new apartment make sense tho especially the lighting. Hope you not paying for those extra 7 days won't attract anything at your old apartment?

Well, I didn't lose at all, haha,
I was just lucky, the landlord forgot to collect rent, on the 6th day of no rent, I just woke up one morning and said I should start looking, and I viewed two houses that evening, first room was €670 with no furniture, just bed n wardrobes and it was a bit farther.
This one was €550 with €50 and it's in the right location, great view.
Just yesterday, I spotted a Red fox in my backyard, I was mesmerized.

My backyard here is huge, long and sexy with a beautiful lawn, it even has something like a Christmas tree at the back.
I'll snap n show you tomorrow.
We have two washing machine, two kitchens, three toilets n bathrooms for maximum of 7 people. We're only 4 in the house
The house I left had three toilet n bathroom, one kitchen for the maximum of 12 people, we reached maximum capacity when I was leaving the house. Though I had bigger fridge n freezer space cos I was staying in a single room. Something was telling me to demote myself to a double room and squeeze myself in small storage space and discomfort, what's the difference between €450 and €550.

When I convert these small digit figures to naira, I see a difference. I hope this mentality leaves me very soon

The window and view reminds me of Annalise Keating former office and house before fire engulfed it in HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER

Buying African food stuff is the man thing

Different of €100 if I'm not mistaken. It's a big different for people like us.

Hi folks, this has been a very tough week, thanks to just one of my client o, it was so tough that a white cute dog popped out from no where and gave me a good shot of comfort. It really helped like mad.
I'll drop a picture later.

The picture below is what I learnt from the Grannies of the Charity shop I volunteer in. When I was moving two weeks ago, I packed, stuffed, loaded, pushed, moved, shifted, arranged.....the part of my body that bore the brunt of it was my fingers, it peeled, you'll see it in the second picture.
I was just in pain everytime I put my hand in a tight place like shoe....till I remembered the scenario that happened before the Lockdown.
One of the friendly open minded irish volunteer there had a tape on of her fingers, as usual, in my curious nature, I asked and she told me.
I can be very curious Mehn,
I remember when my sisters will be gisting me and I will stop them and ask why didn't they ask the other person why it happened the way it did or just some questions I would have asked if I was there, lol. That's how curious I've always been.
The saying that HE WHO ASK QUESTIONS NEVER LOST HIS WAY has reinforced my compulsive nature....but CURIOUSITY KILLS THE CAT sef dey, Ooin, I'm not a cat.
I still remember as a kid, I asked one of my mums friend who I observed I have never seen with a man, only with her two sons, I once asked her, Where your husband?
Mama chased me and gave me a wake up knock, the Hard knock made me process and think till I knew that it was a sensitive topic, it took me time to come to that tho.

Mummy Charity told me that she puts a tape around her fingers when it flayed so it doesn't keep expanding as we use our hands but is protected by the piece of tape, that part especially when it has opened up and it's getting painful, can heal under the protection of the piece of tape.
I left mine for a day then changed when it started looking funny and the wound dried up.

They were the first irish folks I really connected with and I learnt a lot from them, I shared some of them already, but will share more as I go on....

I'm not saying Bleep you oooo, lol

This is my finger after taking off the tape.

You cut yourself? Pele

Just got here, one of my client was just being difficult cos his "son" was off for the week, I was weak Mehn cos he was rejecting food, easily irritated, I didn't even want to go in, was just weak till my eye caught a glimpse of something white walking towards me, it looked so small tho, like a big rat,
This is how most dogs in the city of dublin looks like, lots of small size dogs cos they can fit in the house, small dogs, small food, small Shit, small problem. I even saw an adult dog the size of a grass cutter, very small, they said he don grow finish. I was shocked.

I spent a considerable amount of time patting this dog, I really felt better afterwards, really miss my dogs in Nigeria.

The dog looked sad tho, we both needed it

I'm sure you all noticed my gloves, well i use it when I'm cycling mostly, it's not cold like that, with the way the wind does here eh and the wind I get from cruising speed, my fingers can get numb. You know how it is when you turn on the fan with the AC on.

Lol, one irish man was walking towards me, the dog just left me and barked the man away from me, I was feeling like one Pack leader, lol.

After I got my fill and was made whole, lol, off the dog went......

Conversion is the easiest way to save money here o, if you just see €10, it looks so small and you can throw it to buy a snack until you convert it to a currency you're familiar with.
An average family in the northern part of Nigeria can live, house and feed themselves with 10,000 naira, when they see me and say Corpers are rich, it now made sense.
I started living on only the 19800, cut down my expenses and all, didn't bother my parents at all, except when I wanted to go home, as far as the place is from Lagos, I travelled 4 times in my service year, even though I once spent three days on the road, cos the bus once broke down. I spent at least 12k to travel from kebbi to Lagos, so I had to collect money lol
One of my wonderful neighbor brought her son who couldn't read, after I drilled him for two months, the boy picked up, the mother saw it as a miracle and put me on monthly stipend, it was small tho, when I was leaving the place, I was teaching almost all the kids in the street, about 12 of them, lol. One of them who was not very sound was among the first three in positions, come n see party. I ate lots of beef eh.

So the way it works is that you have to convert in the currency you're used to which is in Naira, as our currency does not have value, the 10 you're bringing out is 4000 naira, but if you're used to a hard currency like Pound sterling, euros or dollars,
Then you will feel better shelling out the money in Naira.

Thinking about it o, would be great, but noise is the main thing, cat go better sha, single rooms doesn't not allow pets, if it was an ensuite, it will be easier

Hi, please I sent you a pm, I would be happy if you could reply me, thanks in advance

Good day all, for those that have appealed their visa decision before. Has anyone ever been refused based on lack of explanation of lump sum of accounts? If yes, how did you go about it?, also when appealing did you print an updated bank statement or printed out the same bank statement submitted earlier and highlight the lump sums then gave detailed explanation? Tnx.
