Pleasures and Perils: NIGERIA 2015 (Part 2)

End of week one and it was time to head to Abuja, my home away from home for the next two weeks of my stay. 
       Abuja was an eye-opener to many things. One main thing was taking people'sword for it... DON'T EVER TRY IT.... Be open, very open to the possibility of multiple disappointments, because Nigerians will be Nigerians, changing their minds in the twinkle of an eye( i speak from experience, don't jump me please). I surely learnt that quickly and didn't even dull on a bicycle, just carry go, move on very quickly from it. Another thing that knocked me for six was how easily you could be cheated as a IJGB in any part of Nigeria (Lagos or Abuja, i cant speak for other parts), but as a delta girl, i wouldn't condone such behaviour, due to not being a driver, i literally had to  get a cab everywhere, and you could see in the eyes of the driver's that they had seen "Fresh Meat", but that smile quickly dropped from their faces at my haggling skills of  cab fares with them, so much to the extent that one cabbie went as far as saying to me 

Aunty why are you acting like you cant pay it? As you deck up reach. Other people will just enter like that and not argue price.....

I couldn't help but giggle at his brave statement. And of course my response was 

                     Because  they don't know how you people operate...

Before you say anything... Judge not! 

Post will be frequent she said.... I hear you say.
Very true,
But sometimes life gets in the way of things and a different route had to be taken. 

Being easygoing and plain-spoken  as an individual, making friends and forming new relationships is one thing I've never had an issue with. Thus, most friendships formed in my lifetime  happened with  friends of close friends regardless of the distance, thanks to the help of technology and social media

NO CATFISH!.
