The one about shege with a slice of madness.

Earlier this past week, I celebrated 1 year of being an immigrant in the land of the Raptors. I use the word celebrate loosely because it was just me posting stories on my Instagram reminiscing on how far I have come. This was a good time for me to reflect on the road that led me here and how it has been thus far. I never wanted to leave Nigeria, it took my sister forever to convince me. I had a decent job and my business was thriving, I did not see any need at all to want to start over in a strange land. However, she advised me to just start the process and have the residency just as…

The one about traveling while poor.

Sigh. Poverty is a bastard. The year was 2016. My friend and I decided to “disvirgin” our Nigerian passports before it expired. Dubai was the obvious choice for visa and ticket purposes. There was a snag though, we were proper broke. However, we said to ourselves that we have a black man blood in us, and all things are possible through Christ.

It was a total of about 16 hours to Dubai .…

The one where Cabo Verde showed me pepper.

If you follow me on IG, then you may have known that I visited Cape Verde in December. Sigh. I suffered. I initially thought it was my fault for doing a low budget trip and seeing low budget troubles but in retrospect that made no sense. Crappy service can’t be explained away by the cost of the service. If a business does not profit the owner, it is best to shut it down than dish out crap because you aren’t breaking even. Cabo Verde Airlines only started operations in Nigeria in December 2019 and they are by…

The one with the flight to Singapore

Hiya. I know it has been like forever, sigh. Adulting is super stressful when you have a full time job, run an almost full time business and several other life shenanigans. Anyway it is a public holiday today (it was when I started writing this) and I decided to bless the web space with a post. So sometimes ago, my friends and I had a hot girl summer type of vacation. (I am low-key pissed we already had our trip before this slang became popular, very rude of the people who did this but I move). First of all, please don’t believe all those travel blogger type people that say travel is cheap if you plan yen yen. My dears,…
