I saw various posts on the social media, criticising federal government's reduction of or Petrol) pump price from N97 to N87. More worrisome is the fact that some of our youths join the bandwagon in the criticism.
surround r why we have some youths of our country who can not make use of their brains to ponder on issues that would further enrich the country. Present day youths are being tossed around by the older ones and sometimes, by illiterates. ‎

Drivers paid an average of $2.2021 a gallon for regular gasoline at U.S. pumps of recent in the US (do some ‎confirmation) 1US gallon = 3.7854ltrs‎ ‎$2.2021 = N398.58 (@ exchange rate of N181/$) Therefore, 1gallon = N398.58 ÷ ‎3.7854ltrs = N105.29/ltr in the US

Meanwhile, in Nigeria, after taking into consideration, landing costs and other expenses, it is N85/ltr for the same litre of gasoline yet people are ignorantly ranting on social media and elsewhere. Between Nigeria and the US, which is better? What has happened to some present day youths in my dear country, Nigeria‎? Mr. President, Goodluck Jonathan has indeed shown that he has the interest of Nigerians at heart.‎

I just walk up to them, tell them about the humans of Lagos and what it's all about if I get lucky, I'll get the chance to discuss with the person and I usually start from something that is not personal and as the person gets comfortable enough, they start opening up and I've come to realize most people are always willing to talk just that no one cares enough to ask them.
That aside, it hasn't been an easy ride to be honest, I've had so many challenges, from been nervous to approach people to getting shut down by people I approach some rude and some wouldn't even care to let me finish explaining to them at some point I've felt like abandoning it, The first day was the most challenging. That morning I walked over 18KM without getting a single person to talk to, I walked hopelessly from Orile to Bode Thomas to Ojuelegba then Yaba and finally Akoka, I was afraid to approach people and when I did my nervousness would show and I think that made them uncomfortable too. I was dejected and had made up my mind to give up and was going to get soft drinks and start going home when I met the first person I talked to, Mr C. along Unilag faculty of SS, I said hi, introduced myself and told him about the project and he agreed and we got talking and before I knew it, I had spent more than 20 mins talking to this stranger who I just met and believe me anyone who saw us would think we've known each other for years, we were just talking about random things, football etc and one thing led to another and we got into personal things and he told me about how his Aunty had brought him to Lagos and put him on the street instead of sending him to uni as she promised his parents etc I spent more than 30 mins with him and that was my first post. Talking to him made me forget all the past rejections made me believe I could actually do it and motivated me to continue I think that was the turning point. I still get nervous but I've come to understand that not everyone will say yes or willing to let a stranger into their personal life and I've come to make peace with that so when people tell me no I don't let it weigh me down I just think about the amazing people that have said yes and the people they've motivated and that keeps me going.
Yesterday I met one of the most interesting people I've been blessed to talk to in this project, Ahmed the sponge seller, I met Ahmed sitting on bench facing the lagoon in cms and I walked up to him and told him about the project, and he agreed to talk to me What got my attention was how he was knitting the sponge, I always thought they bought it like that so that was how we started our talk and he told how he had escaped boko haram, at a point he was close to tears, telling me about his friends that might have been killed he kept praising God for saving him and blessing him with this new life, it was an emotional encounter. He told me about his plans for the future and how he plans to expand his business, he really loves the business. The hour I spent talking to Ahmed has been one of the best things that has happened to me, it was so inspiring. Sometimes when I feel like giving up, I think about Ahmed's story and the rest of them and realize there are many more people out there with stories that will inspire thousands and that's what keeps me going. So Uj, that's how I get them to talk to me about their lives, you see? you asked me a "simple questions and see what it has led to, that's basically how it happens outside there, most of those people I talked to, I think that's the first time someone has taken time to ask them something like that just as you've been the first person to take time and ask how I get the stories. People are willing to share but no one cares enough to ask or listen Thanks Uj, I'm really glad you asked. About the Camera its a mid-range(prosumer) camera you could get body only around 60k I guess but it jumps to 6 figures with the lens.

Harmattan comes with both positive and negative effects on us and I want to list out few of its positive effects on us domestically:
Do you know that;
1: it helps our foods to stay longer without getting spoilt even if its not refrigerated or warmed, even if someone steals meat from the soup pot by dipping fingers inside the soup pot.
2: it aids in drying up our clothes minutes after washing them, u will still be washing and most of the first set you washed are already dried out.
3: it seems to avert mosquito bites, not so sure of that but noticed it for myself.
4: we don't usually sweat much during dry season, the sun will be up and the weather would be dry and harsh but we don't sweat.
5: our rest rooms are always dry and free from odors especially in areas where you find pit lavatories, public fast food joints rest rooms, church rest rooms etc. So is also the street gutter and roads with plenty pot holes because everywhere is dry.
6: it's a good weather for drying our foodstuffs, the likes of egwusi, Ogbonna, garri, achicha( Enugu state local food) and so many other kinds of cereals and foods. It also helps for food preservation.
7: if you enjoy bathing hot water, now here is a good weather for it but I will not be responsible for the whoosh of cold breeze that will disorient you immediately you come out from the bathroom, best advice, bath cold water during harmattan.
You can add your own observations too.
