When I was younger, I would ride the school bus to school on the first day of school after a summer vacation in Nigeria and my friends would ask me all kinds of "kindergarden" questions about if we have lions, swing on trees, have paved roads, lived in huts. When I was really young, I hated it. I was the little know it all in school, and it really irked me that they were so "dumb" (in my eyes when i was small). I even hated Coming to America when I was young cuz I thought it a misrepresentation. lol. I just have to laugh at me at age 9 and 10.
Anyway as I got older I learned to play along, crack jokes back, and even initiate. And I have to say, I love Coming to America and Phat Girlz. lol
So to all my 4rd grad and 5th grade bus buddies who never stepped a day in their life out of Wilmington Delaware... Yes we have paved streets in Nigeria.... LOL
Here's a video of a road in Ikoyi, Lagos, Nigeria.
And if you can afford to hang, bring your effizie to Abuja... for the Non-Nigerians, effizie's like swag
Lets head back to the city I love... Lagos! Here are pictures of Lagos. And to be real, there is a good side too.. not just the bad. though there are alot of things that can be improved, you can also enjoy yourself with the good the bad and beautiful in Nigeria
And to my non Nigerian Friends!!!!!! Check this out! When you are ready, come join me on a trip to Nigeria. You wont regret it
This is the diary of a Gidi Girl or one in the making. I may be a Nigerian girl in America now, but my hopes and dreams take me to Nigeria; Lagos to be specific. I don’t know how or when I’m going to get there, but I will! Follow me on my journey which hopefully should lead me back to Lagos, Nigeria aka Las Gidi. Fasten your seatbelts Ladies and Gentlemen, it may be a bumpy ride!!!!!
