Page 1-106!! Thumbs up Frank for opening such a thread, hopefully I will be in your shoes within two years. I've told myself that I will never make any derogatory or negative remarks about Nigeria no matter the urge to gripe and complain, things are terrible and depressing yea, but it could have been worse. It has nothing to do with being patriotic, it's just a mindset. Am grateful for how bad things are already, knowing that am not defined by the environment or my circumstances, but how I react to them. Time and chance will happen someday and I will tell my own story too, but till then..... we will stay positive against all odds. 30 Likes 4 Shares |

Its you and your grand parents who exploited us for centuries ,and still you dont want us to come and share the sweating of our grandparents,the great american your seeing today is the fruits of our mother land Africa,we have all the rights to come And share the cake with you as long as colonial history hold the truth. Nigeria is FULL of opportunity . what u mean is America is ready made so u don't have to build it up. 2 Likes |

Four seasons...The leaves start to get brown and fall off in Fall (or Autumn), and by Winter they have all fallen off because of the cold weather. They start to grow again in Spring and by Summer full bloom. His post was in January so middle of winter. Josh4wod: 10 Likes 2 Shares |

Moving on My time with Mr. J (my client) has come to an end. A dramatic end, I must add. For some weeks now, I had become increasingly aware of the fact that my present job(s) offer no growth whatsoever, same repetitive actions day in day out; that these jobs do not in any way tally with my goals in life. So I made moves to change that, I dusted my CNA certificate and applied for some CNA job openings. Only for me to be informed that the CNA academy I did my classes was not a "good" one. I'm currently scouting for "good" ones around. ====================================================== My Transcript has arrived at WES (the evaluation body) and they sent a letter to my previous institution to verify the transcript. I was jittery with excitement about going back to school. Only for me to hear that ASUU has gone on strike. I don't even want to talk about it, I don't want to get annoyed. **Back to Mr. J My Mum, uncles, aunties and relatives had always warned me to be wary of akatas, that 99% of them don't have sense. I was kinda hoping MR. J was among the 1% that has sense. Well, you be the judge. I had informed him (Mr J) that my transcript had arrived and I may be going back to school anytime soon, I guess he didn't want to be left without a helper if I leave suddenly (as it had happened before) so he told me to inform my agency about the situation of things. Some weeks back, when I went to pick up my check, I spoke with them and explained everything to them, I was told to call back by the end of the week so they'd give me a concrete reply. I gave them a week, and called back on Monday (21st), I was told that there's someone in training to take my spot, that I should continue till friday and the new guy would start by next week. On getting to work that Monday (21st), I updated Mr. J on the situation of things, informing him that he'd get a new helper by next week, basically, he'd have a seamless and hitch-free change of personnel. His countenance changed suddenly, throughout the rest of the day, he just seemed angry and was giving me bad vibes. I shrugged it off, hoping he'd get over it soon. I finished my shift that day and went home. Like I said sometime ago, the drive from my home to Mr J's house is 45-50 mins depending on traffic. So, the next day, I had started my "journey" to his house, I had driven for 40 minutes (or thereabouts) and ran into a traffic jam, so I texted him to give inform him I'd come in a little late. Only for me to get a reply, that I should not come to his house, that he doesn't need my services anymore. I called my agency and informed them of the situation of things, re-routed my gps and drove to McDonald's, got myself some stuff to eat, and drove home. No be my day you go ruin. ![]() When I got home and told my Mum what happened, she was like "Didn't I tell you?" ![]() 30 Likes 2 Shares |

Have you ever gotten in a situation where you have absolutely no clue how to handle it? Picture yourself like in a spaceship where there are lots of buttons and you don't know which one to press, well, that's where I am right now. I'm currently seeing (not dating) one white girl and for the first time in a long time, I'm confused ![]() ![]() ![]() I go knack una gist on how it goes sha ![]() 28 Likes 2 Shares |

Garri or Gritz? ![]() I took beans and Garri to work one day, I mixed the garri with milk and put it in a ziploc bag, then I put some sugar in another ziploc bag. When I wanted to eat, mr J's son saw my garri and said "Hey Obi, you're having some gritz?" I was puzzled, not until his dad came, brought out a pack of gritz and we started having an argument on which is which. see if you can tell the difference?? ![]() Which one is garri?
