seunny4lif:They suck at Football but i am rooting for Nigeria. They have the MLS but it's not well funded and that's where the Premier League old players play their final years of football. 4 Likes 2 Shares |

ZUBY77:You did everything right except giving the two bit hustling idiooot N5.000. I have come in and out of Nigeria several times and i never bribed anyone at the airport or anywhere. Corruption must be eradicated in Nigeria for the country to reach her full potentials. 18 Likes 1 Share |

The following morning, the world Cup kick off day showed up. It was time for the game to begin. But before I left for the Luzkniki stadium, the famous stadium that hosted Chelsea vs Manchester United championships league final in 2008, I decided to eat some good food before going to the game. After hours of searching for a good restaurant, i finally found one. Sat down, ordered for rice, unhooked my belt, waited for 30 minutes with a glass of Bud beer, and when the food finally arrived, this is what i got. 250grams of rice. Not enough for a 3 year old child. #TourOfRussia 23 Likes

After the Russia vs Saudi game, I walked all the way to the Red Square due to traffic congestion. At the Square, I met up with my American friends. After a couple of drinks, I went to the hotel, picked up my luggage and followed Arte, one of the Americans to an apartment he rented. He offered to host me for the night since I was travelling the following day to Kaliningrad where Nigeria will play Croatia. We dropped of my luggage and returned to the street. The Russians were all over the place singing and dancing. Their national team thrashed Saudi Arabia 5:0 in the opening game. After a couple of more drinks, we retired to the apartment and rested. My flight from Moscow to Kaliningrad was 17:35. It gave me enough time to search for apartment to rent in Kaliningrad. After several trials, I got what I was looking for. A neat new one bedroom and sitting room apartment. With my Gtbank mastercard, I paid 210 US dollars online for two nights (15th and 16th nights). My return ticket to Moscow was on 17th morning. It is worthy to note that Kaliningrad, even though a Russian territory was isolated from mainland Russia. To travel from Mainland Russia to Kaliningrad by land, one must go through Lithuania. Unfortunately due to political reasons, one must have shengen visa before you are allowed into Lithuania. I didn't have this information before embarking on the journey, therefore the only option was to fly. At almost 500 American dollars, it was expensive to fly from Moscow to Kaliningrad but I had no option than to buy the ticket since I already bought the match ticket and would want to watch the game. For a small period, I wished that Russia could just annex Lithuania like they did Crimea. 15 Likes

ferhyntorlah:I just tell them simply that I came from a background that i do not bribe people for doing there job. It's that simple. I don't know if my accent or the Blue Passport adds to it. I just wish people stand up to the bribe seekers. Corruption, Bribery , Nepotism and Racism must be curbed for Nigeria to move forward. 11 Likes 2 Shares |

While at the Domodedovo International Airport Moscow waiting for my flight to KALININGRAD, i decided to try out another Russian dish but I couldn't dind any; therefore I settled for the usual airport stuff. I walked to a mini eatery and scanned the availabe foods. What other options do i have than to eat whatever available. Some 4 pieces of sour nuts and some kind of small cucumber. One tomato ball broken into 4 pieces for me, one hot dog and some pieces of small fried potatoes. Well, atleast i got a glass of beer to compensate for the food. Thats about 50$ of my money. Well its the airport... An hour later, it was time to fly. Our flight was announced. I proceeded to the entrance gate and queued up behind crowd of white people. I was the only black on site but I was already used to such scenes. After final checks, we boarded the Nordavia airbus plane and disappeared into the sky. #TourOfRussia 15 Likes 1 Share

KALININGRAD is situated on the shores of the Baltic Sea. Given the love I have for Geography, i knew it was the Baltic as we descended towards it. The KALININGRAD airport is close to the sea and for a moment, i thought we were diving into the sea. Minutes later, we landed at the airfield, cleared the immigration and headed outside. With the Yandex taxi app (kind of Uber) I downloaded while in Moscow, i scanned for nearby taxi and got one almost immediately. Since i had to put my destination (the rented apartment) address on the app, the driver didn't have to ask where i was going. He helped put my luggage in the boot and zoomed off towards the city center through the highway. While in the taxi, i called the lady whose apartment i rented. She said she was waiting for me at the apartment. Twenty five minutes later, i was being showed around the apartment. Since the lady didn't know English, she was waiting with an older woman who was the interpreter. In a bid to work for her money, the interpreter wouldn't let anyone else say much. She tried to explain even the things i clearly understood. But since i was new, i just kept quiet and listened. They explained to me how to virtually do everything, ranging from how to bath to how to switch on the gas cooker, use the microwave, washing machine, wifi, and even sleep. Funny that these people believe we dont have microwave in Africa. While they were showing me around, i was busy looking for cooking pots. I found them in one of the shranks and the moment i saw them, i knew I was finally going to cook my own food. I waited for them to finish their lectures which seemed to take long but they eventually left. One minute after they left, i searched for shopping mall nearby, one was 200 meters away. I walked down and picked a bag of small rice, fresh tomatoes, tin tomatoes, chicken, small bottle of olive oil, Maggi, pepper, canned corn, a small bottle of whisky, drinking water and park of Marlboro. Back in the apartment, i removed my clothes and returned back to the kitchen. It was time to show them Russies how we roll in Naija. 41 Likes 5 Shares
