Yeah, you read right!
I was MIA because I was busy planning, packing, etc. My plans changed and i decided to leave months earlier than I had planned.
Jaycee talked about a miracle....Well my miracle is that I'm alive, but I'm a little scared of flying now. The main Portharcourt (ph) airport is still not functioning/open, so I had to fly from Lagos to the airforce base in ph. And of course the aircraft was a small one since the airport is a small one too. The weather was very bad and the turbulence was something else. It was so bad that more than half the people in the plane where praying at the top of their voices and the Pilot told us we were going to have to land in Calabar (Which I'm glad we didn't, cos it would have made my already long journey longer. I flew direct to Lagos from New York cos i didn't want to go through the trouble of getting a transit visa), and they'd arrange for us to get to portharcourt by bus or something.
Since I'm now a little bit scared of flying, i don't know how i'm going to convinve myself to get on a plane and go to Abuja to do my NYSC posting thing. I plan on going with my sister and she's not doing any road trip with moi.
I'm excited to be home after nearly 5 years, but NEPA/PHCN is really showing me pepper, plus the heat is just baaaaaaaaaaad...lol.
There won't be a Nigeria Discussion Series tomorrow because it's Easter.
HAPPY EASTER everyone!!
