40Miles a week?? 

Damn! Can I bring you to Lagos to teach all these orobokibos over here. 40Mi on a bike?

No wonder, you def can't look like the average Nigerian. Bet you can't look like the average American too. Heard some folks drive to the next house just to pick mails 


I Like our orobos Here though but, it won't hurt to have bike routes from Ikeja to VI. All these chilling at the back of the car, not good at all.

Ojo Madueke proposed something like that years ago.

People die from riding bikes you know.

I always feel like hitting them off the road , TBH

A student was killed some weeks ago in Manhattan, imagine what would happen in Lagos.

Until we get our acts together in Nigeria, I really dont support it. WHo is going to compensate the families of people killed? What if the breadwinner was killed? How do we keep people accountable and how can we design the roads so that bicycle riders dont constitute a nuisance on our roads.

More than that we need to reorient the people, and that would be a tall task.


PS: I think Kobo is exaggerating though. 40 miles at a go is nearly impossible, especially for someone as physically de-conditioned as Kobo

What is your problem? How do you intend to get it on with Kobo if you don't like riding bikes!!!

Maybe he can wean you away from endless loop of meaningless arguments.

ROFLMAO. I cant believe this. I dont think I have ever seen Aigbofa this confrontational.

This is so hilarious!

This thread has been derailed with all these bike stories! Pls keep ur bicycle stories to yourselves and offer the OP some good advice! Haba!!!

Sun of god:

You have 4 kids - and are on maternity?

Another one on the way? And probably picking up maternity pay, child benefit etc

I'm glad your not one of my employee's - you'd have cost me a fortune!!!

Anyway, put your kids first above your selfish needs.

If you miss your family - go on holiday to visit them - now would actually be a good time since you dont need to go to work everyday.

Your kids depending on the ghetto area you find your self in will get a better quality of education overseas.

Maybe consider exiting after the last born reaches university level - thats even if you can afford to send your kids to university in this day and age!!!

@ son of devil,
i can see u r fustrated, i was curious about you just checked your other post never a human being could be
so bitter.
its obvious you dnt have kids, low s_perm count is treatable.
kid's are hard work but the joy out weighs all the work.

u seem to have a negative view on everything, if u dis angry wit the world maybe u should try a leap off the river niger bridge.

Wow . . . See frustration.

Your trapped and have come here to explain your predicament.

You have stated that both yourself and your mother are inept parents - hence the need for western doctors to arrive on your doorstep within 2 minutes of you almost killing one of your children.

And then the household chores your having difficulties with.

But I'm the frustarted one!!!

If you had an insight into the life I enjoy you would be immediately struck with jealousy.

But I do feel for peasants like you - the proliteriate!!!

I've stated my own and have been honest - for your kids sake stay in the West until your adequately equiped to raise a child in Naija.

And hopefully they will grow up and enjoy greater freedoms than you.

I pity you - i really do.

I sugget you exit NL and go and tidy up your house!!!

But please - dont sit down to educate them. From your backward reasoning and grammar its clear your an illiterate.

Leave their education to the 'West'.

I have to admit you did score a point on this one. The problem is that you arent any better. Same same!

I just seen the modification, and here is my response. There will always be things in your past that you wish you could have in your present, but is it ever a good idea to go chasing after the past? Why not make new memories?? there are festivals and celebrations right where you are. Why cling to the old when there is so much of the new to discover?

Stop going on about man! Fiddlestick!

Some people were raised in very loving ,close-knit families,enjoyed growing up and now feel a void hence no amount of 40 miles biking,senility or boredom induced cooking classes will replace these things.

Op is possibly someone who does not measure everything in life in monetary terms or by 'comfortability index'.
Happiness is key in life,only those whose life is strapped irretreivably to the system they are in would not get what you are trying to say.

Kobo, if you are really doing 40 miles a week, kudos to you. You must be in phenomenal physical condition.

I met this 67 year old man on Friday. He build himself a home gym with weights, a treadmill, and an area for meditation. Evidently he does 2 hours a day in the morning.

I was impressed

People like him inspire me a lot.

No real reason one cannot be fit, strong and active until your 70s.

Shocking !!!!!!!!!

And this is supposed to be an arena for enlightened debate and knowledge share.

Disgrace, just look at all the abuse flying around.

Kobo, if you are really doing 40 miles a week, kudos to you. You must be in phenomenal physical condition.

I took to biking because I could no longer jog or walk. I used to walk about 16 miles round the path back in columbus, but in 2009, I found that I had torn cartilage and it became painful to run or walk. But Biking came to the rescue. The distance from my place to the Library I go to each day is about 4.3 miles, so I hop on my Schwinn Surburban (I love that machine) each day to ride there and back. Takes about 20 minutes.

I think anyone who lives in the city, and has to commute can easily do 40 miles of more a week if he/she chooses to bike it. I live about 4.3 miles from where I go everyday to work and hangout, and those 20 minutes each way on my bike is time for me to free my mind, relax and enjoy the breeze, right before I hit the books/work, and then the 20 minutes back is my time to de-stress, stretch the muscles and enjoy the breeze/wind. Also time to work out all the eba of the day before. lol

I know people who bike twice that each week actually. Biking from a place like Irving Park to downtown is easily 7 miles each way, and that is about 14 miles a day. Add to that errands and what nots on the weekend.

I don't see how being raised in close knit family and what not has anything to do with what you are implying here. I was raised in a close knit family myself and I am not falling apart in the way the @Poster described. I enjoyed my family, and I still do that, but I don't have any attachment issues to deal with since I am well adjusted and confident that the distance between us DOES NOT IMPLY less love or hugs for me at the end of the day. CONFESSION: my mum is in the next room and we are like best of friends, but when she is not here, I am OK.  I mean that one was raised in a close knit ground should not be reason for one to break to pieces when one has to move to a far away land. One needs to be able to take what one learnt in the family situation, and use it to one's advantage when one is away. Create a close-knit group with those around you and continue enjoying your life.

Biking is not abut drawing close to others  . . .  it is actually my way of getting more confident with myself, no matter how many people are around or not around. Those minutes everyday, each way on my bike, I get to listen to the silence, accept and LOVE IT. It is good. Ofcourse when I get to my destination, I go back to my yapping  . ,  lol

Happiness should not be based on where you are, or the number of people(family members, friends) around you at any time. If you find that you cannot sit alone, all by yourself and still be happy, then you probably need to go talk to someone about that. One should learn to be happy wherever one is. And being comfortable never hurts.

Obviously you've lived in obodo- America for a really long time and you've lost your Africanness. You've come to accept loneliness as a way of life. Glad you adjusted to it quite well, for now,  but the rest of us still love that connection.

We miss what makes us human; the touch, the sound, the interdependence, the emotional connection, the smiles, the cries, the daily grind of love, hate, friendship, the constant interruption by families and relatives, the tease, the unsolicited words of encouragement etc

That is what being human is all about. That is why we remain in touch with our humanity and the feelings of others. It is the reason we dont engage in endless loops of argument on an anonymous forum. The reason we dont take ourselves too seriously. It is the reason we express our emotions appropriately when people die, get married or say things we disagree with or agree with. It is the reason we dont hold malice against people that may have offended us in the past.

Kobo, its time you get back to your root, go spend sometime in your village, with people that love you and can remind you of what you really are and not what you wish you were.

Its  great to be in constant connection with your family, friends and most importantly your root. We arent made for isolation. It is actually beneficial to your psyche to experience a close knit, hot, dysfunctional, loving, family-like type situation as not only meaningful, but sacred, on fire with the same force that made the stars: love, fellowship, the mystical oneness of all things deep down.

Kobo, it is up to you.
