Hello hello!,

I hope you are doing well,

Due business reasons, I will be visiting Lagos in a couple of months. I am already aware I need to have my yellow fever certificate and also apply for visa and such.

However, I wanted to ask for some tips/recommendations/Do's and Don'ts in Lagos as a woman and if there are certain culture rules I should be aware of ?

The company I work for already told me that due security reasons, I should not be going out even to have dinner and to try to stay at the hotel as much as possible, however, I do like to do shopping, especially when I am abroad and in a place I have never been. Any online store recommendation would be amazing too.

In my country, it is very normal to smile at people just because, is this also normal in Nigeria? or could I be sending the wrong message?

Any tip is very welcome!

Thank you!

Smile Yes , know your circle ,protect your circle , you'll flow in well , and also don't be too cautious ,Afraid The Average Nigerian will want you as safe as the next one.

My encounter was shocking it wasn't something I anticipated... I was in my third year in school then, I engaged myself in a series of fasting and prayers for God to reveal in himself to me but instead encounter a spirit being, we conversed for over 30min... After this that night I started having past life memories of myself in Egypt and other life.... This led me to go deep into mystism to unravel more about this life, I guess you know how I come about my moniker.

#Sarcasm , My Mystic Nature made me come about my moniker too.

Banned!!!

Little Back Story

The Kingdom of Benin is known also as the Benin Empire or the Edo Kingdom. According to one oral tradition, the Edo people, the original ethnic group of the Kingdom of Benin, were once ruled by a line of semi-mythical kings known as the Ogisos (meaning “Kings of the Sky”). There were about 36 Ogisos who ruled over the Edo people. During the reign of the last Ogiso, his son and heir, Ekaladerhan, was banished, as punishment for an offence committed by one of the queens. The queen had changed the message from the oracle to the Ogiso.




Following his banishment, the prince travelled to the land of the Yorubas, another ethnic group in the western part of modern-day Nigeria. The oracle of the Yorubas prophesied that a king would come out of the forest. Therefore, when Ekaladerhan arrived at the Yoruba city of Ife, he was welcomed, and appointed king. Ekaladerhan changed his name to Imadoduwa, meaning “I did not misplace my royalty”

After some time, Imadoduwa’s father died, and the throne of Benin was left vacant. A delegation of Edo chiefs came to Ife to ask Imadoduwa to return to their lands and take the place of his father as Ogiso. Whilst he had been a prince, Imadoduwa was well-loved by the Edo people.

Imadoduwa, however, would not abandon his new subjects. Instead, he told the Edo delegation that he had seven sons and was willing to send one of them to rule as king. The prince chosen to return with the delegation was Oranmiyan, who spent the next few years living amongst the Edo people. When Oranmiyan’s wife gave birth to a son, Eweka, Oranmiyan returned to Ife. Eweka became the first oba (roughly equivalent to king) of Benin.

“Houses are built alongside the streets in good order, the one close to the other,… Adorned with gables and steps … they are usually broad with long galleries inside, especially so in the case of the houses of the nobility, and divided into many rooms which are separated by walls made of red clay, very well erected.”


Dapper goes on to note that the wealthy inhabitants of the city would keep these walls “as shiny and smooth by washing and rubbing as any wall in Holland can be made with chalk, and they are like mirrors. The upper storeys are made of the same sort of clay. Moreover, every house is provided with a well for the supply of fresh water”.

“Great Benin, where the king resides, is larger than Lisbon; all the streets run straight and as far as the eye can see. The houses are large, especially that of the king, which is richly decorated and has fine columns. The city is wealthy and industrious. It is so well governed that theft is unknown and the people live in such security that they have no doors to their houses.”

The soul is very real.... I have had an encounter with a spirit being physically.... That was when I knew a spirit/soul lives in our body.

Under a controlled environment can this same encounter happen?
