Coli, as promised, my pics from Nairobi. Been slacking off on getting these uploaded but see them below. I was gonna do a Jozi Pt. 2 but for the most part the remaining pics I have are more personal.

EDIT: Tried to rearrange the pics for more chronological flow. Imgur is so difficult to use. Best thing to do if follow the link. I rearranged the pics but the embed album on the Coli is the old pass at things.

Off to Nigeria in a few hours. After a 2 year absence the boy is back home.

Just copped my ticket to London for the end of summer. London, Amsterdam, Paris. It's gonna be a movie

Ghana and Nigeria in Christmas 2018. The scenes.

And finally, Brazil for my 24th in April 2019.

And my savings still looking hefty.

:wow: We can't be out here slacking.

Ima really need this US citizenship to come in quickly.

I'm getting tired of these damn visas. I got to the Schengen Visa site and saw that the country with the highest percentage of rejected visa applications was (52.8% of all applications) *drumroll*

Nigeria!

Guess which passport I have

Nigeria :francis:

But I should be good, my US green card is like a cheat code for visa applications.:ld:

It's like "Ohh, he's a permanent resident in the USA. He ain't like all the other scamming ass, over staying your 2 week visa ass Nigerians". "Let him in" :ld:

But you still gotta take a day off of work for the Biometrics and the visa interview. Plus the damn fees as well :francis:

It's all good. Finna be blue passport gang by the end of the year :blessed:

*In the Frankfurt Airport waiting for my connecting flight while sipping Brandy*

America is really a multi-cultural society.

You can see a black person on the street and be like:

"He/she is American"

You can't say the same in a Germany or Switzerland. Even in Nigeria. Most societies, at least the old world, are homogenous in structure.

Met a lady from Cameroon who, despite living in Germany for 20 years and speaking German would neve be considered German. In the US she would be at least Cameroonian-American

Pulled into Abuja, Nigeria last night. Feels pretty good to be back home :blessed:

Got in and got right to business with some suya

I will say this: Abuja can be hella dry as far as nightlife. I've known this for a while but even 2.5 years since my last trip to Nigeria I can't beleive how little things have changed in regards to entertainment and culture.

Business wise and development wise this city is BOOMING!

Lots of moves in real estate have been made. Whereas Lagos is crowded and has less space to build, Abuja is expanding outwards in all directions.

Shame I'll be leaving Sunday night. But this is just a teaser until I comeback in December. That's gonna be in Lagos. That's gonna be a movie

:blessed:

I'll take pics and upload when I get back stateside.

Any bruh's been to Vancouver before?
I'll be out there next week from the 24-29th

Needs some suggestions for good food, best area to stay, and of course things to do

Yep
Ben to vancouver three times. I always like staying near Cole Harbour because the scenery is amazing and you are near stanley park.


Do the suspension bridge, go to stanley park, aquarium, whale watching if you have time, visit metro town, go to white rock.
