They say a picture is worth more than a thousand words so I hope these, more than anything I could say, would inspire you to explore Nigeria. Bonus points if you can name them all! 🙂 PS: Thanks to Enefa for the cover image of Obudu. Inspired? I hope you […]
Oh the struggles of travelling with a Nigerian passport! Trust me, we know all about it. Our passport is ranked 177 in the Individual Passport Power Rank, 2017, according to Passport Index. This is 3 spots down from last year where we ranked 174th. And like I always say, that isn’t […]
Traveling to the United Arab Emirates for me is a bittersweet experience. While I absolutely enjoy my time there, I can’t help but think about my own corrupt oil rich country. For the sake of this post, I’ll make do without the gloom and doom and get started with my […]
