I miss the sound of generator cry
The village kiss
People shouting at each on the street
Bottled drinks
Agege bread
Hot fresh akara in the morning
Okpa
Suya
Endless supply of malt
Music
Gala
The long bus journey from lagos/abuja to enugu or anambra with ekene grin grin
Africa magic
Channel o
MTV africa
food in general
complaining that there's no light all the time
Masquerade
Boys toasting in shoprite grin grin
Endless supply of gossip
The shouting and screaming in Lagos airport *in forced american accent* "How can you lose my luggage, I paid $400 dollars for the luggage"

When I was residing permanently abroad, I NEVER missed anything aside from my family. Nada!

And how on earth can any sane human miss disorderliness/ chaos in Mushin as some has said here?

The truth is that most Nigerians usually miss not being held responsible for their actions.
Na devil cause me to stab am, no be alcohol...na ghost make me sleep for steering wheel, na my uncle my uncle for villa do make I never marry, na GEJ make me beat my wife, na this na that.

As a party crawler back in Abuja i miss those shiit as mad.Especially the 5 days a week clubbing.In my location you have to work and work and no time for that.Even when you are free and you call your pals that you guys should hang out they will also be working.No communal life at all.No wonder oyinbo people dey die of loneliness with their dogs for inside their house.I also miss toasting girls on the road and various places.Here you try it they might accuse you for s.exual harassment.For the food aspect am not missing anything.I still cook my Naija food scatter.In general Naija freedom nor get part 2.
