The most fascinating thing I see here is how people behave so well. This morning I saw a car packed at a no parking spot 🚫. Because the car was faulty, the owner pasted the reason on their car for everyone to know. 4 Likes

AdisaMighty: Because there's a punishment for anyone that behaves disorderly or breaks the law. And their justice system isn't as compromised as ours; you are always going to be held accountable for your sins. That's why they behave so well and orderly..and over time it becomes a lifestyle to them to the point that they no longer need the law to do what's right sometimes. Yes humans are psychologically wired that way. We are exactly the same human being as they are. You can attest to this by the way our misbehaving and disorderly Nigerians conform to these same laws and orders when they travel there... Even in Nigeria here, no matter our stubbornness, when government gives an order we eventually succumb. The foundation of our system of government, our way of life, our mindsets are all corrupt or skewed and needs to be reformatted (re-formed). Until then, I'm afraid Nigeria is going to be getting worse. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

See how beautiful and orderly everything looks. The lawns, car parks, the pavements, the houses are all aligned to a straight line without deviation from courses.. It's like they have the blueprint of the city before they start building the houses... In Nigeria, or at least in my state in Nigeria, we build houses first before we start forging and constructing roads where there's not supposed to be road. Major reason why there's flooding disaster in Nigeria. |

I went though the street where most embassies are in Washington today. It’s interesting to see how large the US diplomatic relationships are. Also Ivory Coast has the finest embassy I saw today. Why tho?posting pictures below 3 Likes 1 Share |

I captured the embassies on my way to the White House area, most of them are close by. The world bank, IMF, Red Cross etc are all in the same vicinity. This is where the world destiny is decided 3 Likes 1 Share |

Got to the White House and for some reasons it was all barricaded. I was able to capture a picture from afar. Also what I believe was the president’s helicopter was flying out of the White House 5 Likes 1 Share

Within a mile of the white house, I captured this pictures of homeless people. Even with all the resources and the amount of jobs in the US, there people are still homeless people. With all the passport privileges most people still don’t travel. With all the best school there is still a lot of ignorance. 3 Likes 1 Share
