I experienced this sky on entering Ibadan on the way back from Lagos. I love clouds and this made me think of the heavens opening up. I love it.

What the Student Union Building on the University Campus looks like when there is no electricity. All of these are little generators that power the many copy machines and computers running at different stalls. Copying books and hiring people to type essays for you is a big business on campus.

UI students who do not live in dorms, or hostels live in places called Boys Quarters. This is a block of Boys Quarters where some of my friends live. I hang out here often.

A danfo, what we call mini buses that act as taxis, that is ridiculously full of some strange objects that I cannot identify. With the way danfos are packed to the brim with bags of rice, beans, pieces of cow until the back of the car is almost touching the ground, it's a wonder they can actually move.

Welcome to the butcher. Men carry wooden boards on their head and hawk huge slabs of meat around the market. The meat sits out in the sun and is not covered from flies or any other thing. If you want to buy, he takes it off his head and cuts you a piece, as seen in this picture.

I can’t belive you have been in surulere lagos.
You like wa ka too much.
Lovely pictures, mashaAllah.
I’m from Nigeria and I’m currently living in Ireland. I havn’t been on holidays to Nigeria since 2008 😦 and I’m missing it so much….I miss it more now after seeing these pictures.
hope your having a great time xx
Titilayo, I so proud of you. You know i live reside in the US. As from today i start communicating to children in Yoruba. Keep it up.
Agh,nostalgia. You make me miss UI,to think I disliked the chaos when I was there and now miss it. Be safe and have fun.
Loving your Blog, really interesting stuff
Wow what a good feel of natural enviromental habitat. Not modernly modified. l bet if you have ever seen any free range chicken in ur obodo oyinbo land -Wiscousin, hope l got the name right.
Please help to send the generator on the queue at U.I to President Goodluck… let him not forget what should be part of his priority.it’s shameful especially at this time of internet age WWW , that a naturally blessed country like mine will still be living this way>>the noise level will be deafening.
Calgary Canada 88.9 shine FM this morning said the city is installing a sound recoding for all vehicles in the city to issue sound violate ticket for any vehicle whose sound is more that normal deciber… l can’t remember the deciber may be 64… .
I think this law will never work for my obobdo Nija. That is why we talk at the top of our lungs. not only beacuse of the heat.
Apprecaite your post-many more suprise fo you. enjoy your stay
God Bless
Hello Titilayo , I have really enjoyed going through your blog its been very informative, one very minor thing I have noticed that you Kayode and Abike have blogs but I have not found one for Kolade , do you know if he has one ?
Thanks
Kolade does not have a blog. He relies on us to report everything about Nigeria for him.
Thanks and sorry about the double post I thought my first one was lost in cyberspace
I’ve been following your blog. It takes a huge courage to live in a country where you don’t have a family but I believe you would have made good friends. We Nigerians are really friendly and accommodating.
I truly enjoy your blog. Well done Cara.
I pray God will grant you a good journalist job in Jesus’ name.
Quick question, imagine if you obtain a job with CNN/Sky/BBC or any top news station , reporting African news or Asian news, and they want you to cover negative stories and you have a standpoint to ensure that your story is balanced. How would you actually balance conflicts of interest as a journalist?
great work, cara! your blog of your experiences has been great to follow! welcome home, soon!
he he he Titi, i can see you really will miss this adiye.
Hello Titi, i have been reading your blog for a while excellent work by the way I am extremely impressed , just a very quick question does Kolade have a blog as well I have seen Kayode’s and Abike plus yours but not his
Thanks
