| Pix 1. This one should be easy. |
 |
| Pix 2. This should be easy too. |
 |
| Pix 3 This one might be tough but there are more than one thing wrong or odd in this pix! |
 |
| Pix 4. Unless you don't know a bit of American History, you won't get this one. |
 |
| This one na Wine beauty contest |
 |
| See dem...wasted knuckleheads. The following day's hangover will be a b**ch. |
 |
| Even flooding can't deter this bunch of alcoholics! |
 |
| At least someone saw how crazy people are over palm wine and applied his business sense. |
 |
| Okay...I'm not too sure if this is really Naija but it looks like what you'd see in Naija. Another smart alec applies business sense! |
In its drinking form this Naija staple food is popular because its easy to prepare (Garri- the perfect fast food for people who are too lazy to cook). But in its cooked form as a 'swallow' it is notorious. Yeah, I say that because I've seen wifey eat it...and she eats it with a passion. When people are eating this meal, they just look funny. Don't believe me? Try snapping or videoing anyone grubbing eba with some sumptious soup; or just visit any hostel in any Nigerian state or federal University and check out what guys are grubbing when they're not too broke to make a pot of stew to go with it. The Internet even has proof! See for yourselves...
 |
| I want to believe that this was a bet or a stunt. |
 |
| This scenario happens a lot in Naija higher instutions, especially in hostels that function like a community. |
 |
| I told you the meal always made one look like a moron. |
 |
| Sometimes you can't just figure out how people manage to make a mountain disappear! |
 |
| Even oyinbos are not left out! |
 |
| I guess this is what the TV series 'Spartacus' would look like if it were a Naija production. |
 |
| Before it was 'yahoo yahoo' which involved conning foreigners out of their cash on the internet. But lately I heard of one called 'yahoo plus' which was the same fraud scheme accompanied by 'jazz', juju or voodoo. I guess this pic defnies it - African remote control! |
 |
| How can this have a 'Complete Season One'? These Alaba boys sef! |
 |
| I love my people. They know how to put things to good use...like using old election ballot boxes to sell puff puff. |
 |
| When you attend an Igbo wedding like this one, don't be surprised when you see an outrageous demand list like this from the bride's family! |
 |
| The original. Mind blowing movie that goes to extremes. |
 |
| The Copycat. I wonder whether the stern look on the fair lady's face and the dude was also meant to match that of the ladies in the original. |
 |
| The Original. A masterpiece of a love story and an all time classic.  |
 |
| The Original. Beautiful movie that explores love and romance from a blind man's point of view. |
 |
| The Copycat. From the look of the pix, it seems as if the so-called 'scent' was actually the 'fart' of a woman. |
 |
| The Original. An interesting series that has gotten a huge following and popular amongst Nigerians who love watching series. |
 |
| The Copycat! In fact, it seems very inappropriate to make a Naija copycat version. It just sucks and looking at the title and the image alone makes me not want to watch it. What the hell? |
I like catching interesting shots. That's why while I was at the after party of the burial ceremony of a colleague's Dad, I saw this odd looking couple doing this funny dance.
I decided to snap them since I didn't have enough battery to film the hilarious moves.
I thought the chick danced the funniest until she turned to face the camera and I noticed she looked odd.
It wasn't until she came close to another of my colleagues who was seated nearby that I noticed she was actually a dude - a transvestite! My colleague was feaked and she jumped out of her chair, just in time for me to catch the shot.
I made to catch more shots but my battery went dead. I'm still wondering whether this cross dresser was for real or just a joke. It's not a common thing in these parts unlike the western world.
Warri, the capital of the waterside region of delta state doesn't have much to look at on my visit there. I was on the look out on my short termed visit. I even thought I might see signs of the militants but there was nothing of the sort.
The town looked so peaceful, you'd doubt that there was anything serious happening in the creeks.
However I did get to snap this photo of a wedding invitation of one of the leaders of the youths leading the 'struggle'. Now you've got to be loaded to fly your wedding invite on a billboard!
I don't know if he's a militant or just a youth leader during the inter tribal war. But the words on this second board got me wondering. It reads just below his name, Hon. Ayirimi Emami - 'the unrepentant defender of the youths'
Either its a wrong use of word but the word 'Unrepentant' there rather sounds negative doesn't it?
Well I did manage to catch 2 nice pics in warri - one of my sweet 7 month old daughter in a cute pose and another of her grinning with her mouth stuffed with cake!
I attended an Igbo traditional wedding some time ago. The Igbo people are eastern Nigerians renown for their enterprising spirit. Their traditional weddings are usually something to write about.
There is the first step of sharing Kolanut as a form of welcome to their guests and the groom's family. After the Kolanut is shared, a bunch of other native snackeries are served as seen in the pix below - the garden egg and groundnut paste, a mixture they called native salad, some chicken and a keg of palmwine.
The wedding cake was an interesting piece. Cake designed with Kolanut. The Igbo's treasure kolanut so much. It is alway said that the Yorubas grow Kolanut, the Hausas eat Kolanut while the Igbos celebrate Kolanut.
And then there was a trick played on the groom to guess whether it was actually his wife that was brought before him or another. It wasn't his wife so he was told to drop some cash to usher in the REAL wife.
Fianlly, the real wife steps out and dances round to welcome everybody.
I'm sorry I forgot to snap a key part of the ceremony - that is where she had to carry the wine to the man who had come to ask for her hand in marriage, whom was hidden in the crowd for her to search out.
Culture can be quite interesting. lol.
