I remember last year going home and i was in a rush to see work at my modest land get done and had to meet a friend at Ikoyi. He had told me of a young lady I might be interested in.. Anyway I arrived with my tank top, wornout jeans and rain boots. If looks could kill this woman was in shock. Mind you I was meeting my friend to collect some documents so this was no date. Anyway later that evening there was party at lekki ofcourse i was dressed differently and drove there in a 2005 bmw X5. You should have seen how this woman was all over me. It was disguting but also amusing. I remember saying to her your invading my space I don't have a twin,which she still could not understand my sarcasm..lol. Now many of you might say...jjc..but it was quite sickening to see how most Nigerians young and old, rich or poor are slaves to material things.<br />She could not understand in her warped Lagos mind why it was practical for me to dress the way i did, to travel with okada to get things done at the building site knowing my stay in Nigeria was limited. I pity most Nigerians espercially most of the women....:-(Azukanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-260554591156842384.post-48517280186944303872009-04-01T17:43:00.000+01:002009-04-01T17:43:00.000+01:00This post is actually very important...it is so cr...This post is actually very important...it is so crucial that we guard the upcoming generation against such vices.
