So while I was trying to mind my business, I stumbled on this. I hear it is the most delicious bug in Nigeria. It is also a major delicacy for those that live in the Eastern part of Nigeria and South South as well.  Its the Palm Weevil Larvae and Pupae (Rhynochophorus Ferrugineus) The  Palm Tree Weevil Larvae (raw) Roasted Palm Weevil Larvae They are either eaten raw, fried or roasted. Its high protein content makes it very nutritious.   Palm Weevil Pupae The palm weevil is a priced delicacy in southern part of Nigeria. Very common in warri and sapele.  Some call it ' DUN '. Ever tried this grub, please share your experience. I'd love to read them. Live, Love and Learn.

I had this friend from Benue State while i was still in presentation school. she gave me a different definition of love,  the display of love she and her boyfriend showed would have made Romeo and Juliet jealous if they were alive. It was evident how in love these two were and they  didn't  even try to hide it. Even more fascinating was that they were states apart, he was working and residing the South South of Nigeria while she in the west. Regardless, he was always with her and she with him. Phone calls, emails, blackberry and all forms of social media. They were in each other's space. Ordinarily, one would have thought their  relationship would fizzle out in no time but NO W AY. They kept connecting and communicating every way possible. she'd take pictures of how she looked, what she cooked, where she went and all that, he also did the same. Sweet is the most appropriate word to describe their relationship,. Fast forward  and its 3 years now s...

By popular demand, I present to you the concluding part of the blogbuster 'LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY. Click on this link  LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY Honestly, I wasn't hypnotized in any way neither was I under a spell of some sort, at least thats what I tell anyone that asks. But was I? A question I keep asking myself till date, I hope at the end of this,you might be able to give me an answer. Story begins..... We drove off to somewhere in Coates Str, EbuteMetta,Lagos Mainland to be precise.We got off the car and made an agreement not to expose the source of the money to the baba, we would tell him that we found the money in a land we plan to buy in Agbara, Lagos. We walked into a sawmill then to a small yard was where we stopped. As we waited for the almighty 'BABA' to come out, I quivered in fear. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, 'I better opt out now', I said to myself. Just as I was about to let my thoughts ...

Its been a minute yeah, I know and I've missed you. After a conversation with some friends, I finally got inspired to write about one of my Living in Lagos Chronicles. As much as every memory of this incident surprises me, I find a reason or two to laugh real hard and even consider acting...lol. The initial plan on this fateful morning was to go to work as usual but then that bad angel whispered evil thoughts of where I could go to and would have more fun (unholy) obviously, #imnosaint!. So I changed routes and headed to ........... story for another day. I had enough opportunities to change my mind because I was so unlucky from the very beginning. First, I had to sit in a bus for 2 good hours trying to wait for passengers and of course they never came. I got impatient, got off the bus and went to some other bus stop. Luckily I found one, it took me to Costain. At least I was a bit close to my destination, Surulere. Then I began to wait again at the Costain ...

Happy New year guys!!! I welcome you my avid readers and followers to the year 2014. I’m very certain it holds a lot of exciting and memorable times for us, at least mine started on a very adventurous note. my homie and I took a trip to the Lekki Conservation Centre situated in Lekki/Eti-Osa Local Government Area of Lagos State just to get a feel of nature and I wasn't 1 bit disappointed. In case you want to visit sometime soon, below is a brief road map.     ROAD MAP: This is my best description given that I got there through the same route. After the Lekki toll gate, it is on the right side of the seventh round about. Chevron is the closest to the Lekki Conservation centre. As you walk into the park, you might want to turn back as it seems not as big as it claims to be but wait till you go in. There are 2 entrances, on the left wing and on the right wing of L.C.C complex. We were escorted to the entrance of the mangrove habitation by one of the guides there...

It’s a bit rare to find a girl writing about what the everyday man experiences but truthfully I have more male friends than girls (I wonder why though) but I feel comfortable in their midst.     Recently I got to find out that snatching a friend’s partner is as common among the males as it is among females. It usually comes in this trend. You have a friend and one fine day, he meets the girl of his dreams and falls in love. A few weeks later, he introduces you to her. You’re happy for him but you’re totally falling in love with his girlfriend.   Ever been there? … Almost all guys have… On one hand, you’re happy for your friend. He did find a great catch and they just feel perfect for each other. But yet again, you’re jealous. His girlfriend is the sexiest thing you’ve ever seen and you can’t stop fantasizing about her, or wishing she could be with you instead of your friend. When you’re a guy, it’s easy to instantly get attracted to a girl you meet, even...
