As I was going for my training last Thursday, It was 30 min away, I packaged myself, picked up my briefcase as I had documents to submit, I didnt feel like cycling. Plus the terrain was sloppy, not soapy. So I embarked on the journey with my Legediz Benz. I would have taken the bus, but the route as you'll find out later isnt bus friendly. Based on the map estimates, if I take the bus, I'll walk 10min to It, it will take me round and I'll still another 8min. It was an office estate. That's how it is here, Office estates is like a huge closed compound where offices are located. Instead of building and designing your office building, you go to the office estate. They call it Business Park. It can consist of like 50 buildings, at most three stores. Ireland dont like skyscrapers, they feel that until Technology can find a way to take care of fire problems in the skyscrapers, theres no way the city will invest in it. The highest you'll see here is 9. That one eh..... It will have lots of infrastructure and others codes in place that will make it complex for the engineers to handle. In a 30 storey skyscraper, if fire is to happen in the fifteenth floor, how will the hundreds of staff above the 15th floor come down, will they Jump down. They also think that skyscrapers are Soulless, with the glass exterior, it looks bland. No intricate design that comes from the depth of human creativity. That's why most Part of Europe still maintain that look. I saw a shot of Dublin about a hundred years ago, if I tell you there was no much difference apart from traffic light, caneras and others. I hung my Sony headset, and started with the map as my guide. 20min into the journey, the map told me to turn left, han han, I waa wondering, where exactly, it happened that theres a short path with the way the grass showed traces human movements. The google map shouldn't land me somewhere I dont know o. As I was walking, the path hasnt been of much use, I guess it's the lockdown, or the fact that people troll there during the summer, winter just came n left. I had to look back to see if I was safe until I got to the mouth of a cave, I've seen this alot in UK movies, we call it Underbridge, it's a place homeless people take shelter from the rain and sun in Lagos, even those who hawk also. This particular cave was kinda scary, it was my first time, what if I was ambushed, I shook that thought knowing that I'm no longer in Lagos, the irish government looks after me better than my fathers land. They've ensured that I never starve to death, and that health wise, I'll be taken care of. With that thought, I charged into the cave and something struck me. It was filled with Graffiti. I didnt have the time to snap away, the pictures shows I was walking n snapping away. Coming back, the Nigerian man gave me a ride back home, That's something an Irish, generally people in developed countries dont do. I didnt ask for it, I get pride o. Thanking the Great Sparrow0 for the App 10 Likes

Superb and addictive thread. I'm soaked up in enlightenment. Chiggsglover, nice job you're doing here, it's not easy dishing it out raw like you're doing. Some just hoard information unnecessarily. You've been mature and composed in answering questions, well done.I wish I could give each of your post a thousand likes. You and other contributors are doing well. Hadampson suppose be Nigerian ambassador to so many countries ooo. He's good and he keeps improving. I seriously want you to fulfill your dreams of moving out. Be like this country don overcast. May we leave this place and see other countries where sanity is prioritised and don't have to worry about certain things. The Ireland travel thread can be consulted for certain questions, OP has really tried and it's not good taking advantage of his nice demeanor about certain stuff. It's good to make research/dig further. This enables you break things down like he's doing. Thanks Chiggsglover, your thread is a masterpiece! God bless you and your adventures. 15 Likes |

My hospital made us all take it. ) Also Nigeria is not among the countries listed in the HSE platform when you try registering After doing this online course, what next?
