As i'm wont to do most times, i observe my surroundings with astute intrigue and a bit of mischief....
I see all sorts and i never cease to be amazed
It's the reason why today as i stepped onto a Zebra crossing i marvelled at oyinbo people once again...
I mean they didn't even need a police man to tell them to stop for me to cross when they did
In my dear Naija, many a pedestrian would have been confined to a wheel chair or maybe even dead when "wicked" and sometimes even stupid Naija motorists would refuse to pause so people can cross!!!!!!!!!!!!
And as i tried to get off the ferry later on, i saw that even oyinbo get some stupid peculiarities too!!! i cannot understand why they all scramble for the door of the ship before the thing comes to a halt.
Today na only me siddon oh, so tey i come begin wonder whether we don reach our destination. of course in my bid to "join the crowd" na so i nearly nack teeth for ground :D LOL
I have shed so much weight since i got here, na so so to dey waka we just dey for this place. I mean no okadas or cabs to call. And times without number my silly friend (who happily is in Naija now ;) makes me run after buses and trains....
All that compulsory exercise it's amazing how anyone in this town has fat on their body i tell you....
Getting lost is another favourite of mine.
Every trip i make to "the abroad" comprises of at least five incidents of getting lost.
The last time it happened, i entered lift from one place to another, rigmarouled for over 2 hours, couldn't reach my friend on phone!!!!
Thankfully gbomogbomo no dey here, i for don be their victim (God forbid)
My random musings for the day
"Cheers mate "
