Originalsly: I appreciate your wise advise, especially at just being a start up. Another thing is, I advise my clients and they make their choices. Most times, its their call. When we left the former hotel, they referred us to their sister branch but my client wanted something cheaper than the $500 a week we were paying there. Infact, they put me under a lot of pressure, such that getting the airbnb place at that cheap amount $300 a week was victory. After the incident, I recommended we left, the client refused, saying that if we remain indoors, we will not be exposed to their vices. I personally packed up my things and left on sunday, before they called me and said they wanted to leave because the Chicago cubs (baseball team)won the World Series and they celebrated in the neighbourhood with gunshots all night. They had had enough. This time, they left me to decide where to move to and guess what, I went back to the sister hotel recommended to us by the former hotel. We were out till pretty late last night, besides the fact that PACE buses dont work on sundays and we had to walk 25 mins to get a bus, but nothing like peace mehn!!! Also, the Southwest airlines was a good bargain, $94 per person with 2 bags free? Other airlines will charge $25 for the first bag and $35 for additional bags, and we all had a bag each. Abi we for do Spirit airline 4 Likes |

ifyalways: Good evening Ma. Hope this met you well? I've been coming across your posts on the agric section and you once mentioned that you are/were into buying and selling of agricultural produce. Please, I will like to go into it also. I need your advice and connection. I'm looking at Egusi, I would love to know if you have a contact (contacts) at Mile 12 or any other major markets that can help with the sales. (Dilali - Agents... I'm assuming you are still in Lagos) I know the dilalis on Nairaland, but they are only into sales of vegetables and fruits. Please, I'll really appreciate your assistance. (In the event that I'm actually wrong and you ain't into buying and selling of agricultural produce, please I apologize in advance for the mix-up) Thanks |

Ishilove:Haha . Chicago gangstas. Those guys are something else . I was friends with a gangsta once. I cut all ties before the police associates me with them. That stuff can ruin your life. That 'bad boy' life is actually somewhat cool , that is, if you're not a ra.pist and murderer. At least OP is alright. *plays the Ghetto Theme |

DriggityDre:You're not a gangster. A gangster is a criminal who is a member of a gang. Some gangs are considered to be part of organized crime. Gangsters are also called mobsters, a term derived from mob and the suffix -ster. |

Ishilove: Aye, it is Yes please.Years ago, when I was about 5 years old, my mother took me to a barbing salon. Normally, my mother instructs the barber to barb everything. But on that day, I begged her to allow the barber to give me big boy style, or skin punk, as it's called. I had seen my uncle rock it the day before. He told me it's for big boys only. My mother wasn't so eager to do so. Then finally, she agreed. "You are becoming a big boy now o. Oya, choose the style you want", she said. I told her big boy style. She then proceeded to instruct the barber. As a toddler, I was always distracted so I didn't pay attention to what she said. The barber started work on my hair. As usual, I was distracted by everything; the customers, the radio, every ketu-ketu that passed by... I was just playful When the barber was done, I looked up into the mirror. Alas! This was no big boy style. It was the same old shine-shine! I started crying. "Mummy, you did not barb me big boooy", I said. My mother and the barber couldn't calm me down. My mother eventually paid and took me home. I cried all the way. When we got home, she apologized and gave me some bread." Bread was my 'mumu button' food. I still love bread till tomorrow "kpele, don't worry. Next time, you will choose your style", she said. And she kept her word . Eventually, I got tired of punk and settled for low cut. Now, I keep my hair at medium level. That was how I started my love for 'cool'. My uncle was an inspiration . To me, he was the first gangsta 1 Like 1 Share |
