We left Chicago on the 18th, landed Dxb on 19th. I had already done all my tour bookings tru viator.com, exchanged 1750AED from my bank, and went along with all my debit/credit cards. I wanted to have all the fun all once because I know I won't be coming back.

Day 1. We started our journey by doing the desert adventure. The dune bashing, camel ride, atv ride, belly dancing show, Jalabia buying and the likes. I did the VIP package because I wanted to enjoy myself to the fullest. We got done arround 10pm and our driver took us back to our hotel.

Welcome back sir

Welcome back sir

Lol, thank you daddy �

We had so much fun from Monday till Thursday. On Friday, we couldn't even stand from our bed. We just lay there all day very exhausted. We did 2 tours daily, one in the morning, one in the evening and all were private ride. Hmm., I kept swiping my cards smiling and shaking my head at the same time. Bought so many souvenirs back to the US.

I got a link to a Nigerian restaurant that does hotel delivery and that food was damn good.

I visited the Dubai mall and made me feel so much at home, it was as if I was I'm a regular mall in the US . I visited the aquarium top. Everything i saw in dubai as an adventure, I went for the VIP package. Even hired a driver to take us arround town for a full day doing sight seeing. Truthfully, I overdid it

This is the hotel view from the rooftop(night view)

I wish there's an option to upload video here

I swear bro, I live in a white neighborhood, I can say I am the only black there. They are nice, curious and always eager to help. I can never be comfortable where lotta blacks are.

I'm sure you have experienced subtle and overt racism, whites are very cunny.. Smiling with you now but have bad intentions towards you.

My guy met this wonderful lady and I thought they were getting along good until they broke up last year November. It all happened all of a sudden. I remember him calling me when he was about boarding his flight to go see his girl very excited. He never knew he was about getting served breakfast. He arrived at his girl's place, used her washroom and something caught his attention in the trashbin . It was used condoms .

My guy started running temperature and couldn't eat and sleep. He couldn't take it but I had to calm him down. After he left the girl's place, one thing led to another and there were series of arguments. I could remember what the lady said to my guy. She said " for the fact you do things for me doesn't mean you love me, CARING IS NOT LOVE".

my guy was heartbroken, I didn't even take him serious until he said something. He said and I quote "when I looked into this girl's apartment, I realized majority of the what she had, I bought them all for her" I really felt for him. It's been a while I heard from him though, I wish life is really kind to him wherever he is.

The other day, I personally booked a Delta flight on behalf of my friend for his girl to come see him. Only for the girl to arrive and say "You will be booking all these cheap flight up and down. If you don't have money, you should have said something! I could have added some money so u can book a better flight". Coming from someone that has been flying spirit and frontier airline all her life. The way some people talk ehn, hmmm! You could have google delta airline before spewing rubbish

Nigeria girls sha!

My Journey started from Chicago Ohare to Dxb transiting tru Doha. I flew Qatar airways and that was really a long flight. It was 13hrs 45mins to Doha and 1hr+ flight from Doha to Dxb.

The flight was too long but I was comfortable. The last time I had this long flight (17hrs) was in 2020 via Ethiopian airline.

Landed Dubai arround 10pm and made it to the hotel I booked at Jumai Residence Beach( I don't know if that's the correct pronunciation though).

Expedia lied to me about those views as it was nothing compared to real life.

We spent 3 days at the hotel and then proceeded to the next hotel(four point by Sheraton Sheihk Zayed Road). I love the hotel like mad. The room, the view, the rooftop bar, everything was so good.

Remain bless oga patapata

I prefer getting visa to Nigeria
Someone close to me, had a problem in Nigeria, his luck was he came to Nigeria with his Italia passport only not with Nigeria passport.
He was airlifted that day immediately.
I know a lot of people that couldn’t be airlifted because they are also Nigerians according to the embassy

You can’t have dual citizenships with German speaking countries passport

My boss. Open the pictures on your gallery, then take screenshot of the image(s). It'll be less than 4mb

I am planning for my trip to Europe Next May after I am done with Classes/Exams on May 14. So I intend travelling May 15/20 for 7 days. i have applied for Masters studies in Italy in the past but didnt go but then I have always been interested to see the country Italy..

I have a friend studying in Camerino, Italy and he will be sending an invitation letter to me and the italian embassy ahead of my Visa preparation as I still need a visa to enter Italy. I will be staying in Rome BUT I am interested in Visiting this three places( MILAN - LYONS - GENEVA) due to the fact they are close to each other compared to (ROME-LYON-GENEVA) but i will be staying in Rome which makes it a lil bit difficult..

My Host suggested that driving (ROME-LYON-GENEVA) might not be a good idea cos of the distance and suggested train and buses even(Flight by RYAN AIR)..

To those that have done this europe tour before, Kindly give me tips on how to make my journey a very stress free one. . I need tips on movement especially and other things that might help out.. Is bus/trains very cheap compared to renting a car? etc

I'll be going with my wife, so the flight for two is ($1460 lets say $1500) and my budget is $2500, maximum $2700

I would have love to go to Budapest too but I just need to make sure i got everything in order as not to get confused/lost. trying to maximise my time to the fullest. I only have 6 nights to spend..
