• 1. You, when the harmattan first crept in to replace the insane heat.

    You didn’t realize what was coming.

    2. Till it came in full force and the dust rolled up like:

    The first disadvantage set in.

    3. When this became your how-to guide to bathing:

    This is basically an art-form at this point.

    4. You, everytime that cold water touches your back.

    5. Whenever you forget to use lip balm before leaving your house.

    My lips are cursing me right now.

    6. Your face, when you don’t use any cream.

    The struggle.

    7. When you go somewhere and the AC is on full blast.

    You people should calm down na.

    8. Your legs, if you don’t douse them in Vaseline.

    This ashy life.

    9. When the people in the north hear the rest of us complaining.

    See these ones.

    10. You, before going out vs. You, after going out.

    11. When you have to wake up in the middle of the night to put off your fan or AC.

    Cold will not kill me today.

    12. You are tired of seeing people dressing up like it’s winter.

    Where do you think you are?

    13. When the sun comes out and you can’t tell if you’re actually hot or cold.

    My body is confused.

    14. Trying to clean up during harmattan.

    15. You, waking up hoping it’s finally over, but realizing it isn’t.

    Can this thing just end?

  • ‘Tis the season to be jolly! Christmas is in two days and Father Christmas is already in town. Whether you’ve been naughty or nice all year, he has something for all of you! But first, incase you’re wondering who Father Christmas is, he is Nigeria’s Santa Claus.

  • Imagine you take an interstate flight as you go home for Christmas and your plane lands safely. 

    You thank the Almighty for making it possible.

    Then you get ready to disembark.

    Only to be told that the passenger stairway has malfunctioned and you won’t be able to leave immediately.

    What would you do?

    Well these Nigerians who chartered a plane definitely had a really practical solution. They used a ladder!

    Aero Contractors had a problem with their stairway and apparently didn’t have a spare.

    Passengers who arrived the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa International Airport were forced to leave the aircraft via a makeshift ladder.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbI0XCGzvVI

    Now other countries are making fun of the “giant of Africa” for this.

    Nigerians are asking, “Where is the Minister of Aviation?”

    This is disappointing!
