Postcard from Lagos

I’ve been in Nigeria 11 days and things are good. It's been raining a lot, and hard! Then the sun comes out. I guess the best part of it is spending time with family, especially my younger bro. It’s good to be here for a purpose, as opposed to the usaual holiday visit, the feeling of working, doing something I guess adds another dimension to the days. Things can get monotonous, if all you’re doing is waiting for the next party and watching dvd’s, not to mention how much weight you’re bound to put on.

Ramadan started a few days back…there’s such a good feeling of camaraderie amongst friends, family etc during the period here.

Missing the usual peeps and my girl – but, we all know how London is.

Lagos on the other hand is just layered in contradictions, met some seriously talented creatives doing some cool stuff, I’m so excited…it’s amazing the opportunity that technologies enables, because it allows people to be totally independent, but I guess the cultural sophistication is still lacking…or maybe the one I’ve become accustomed to in the west, is what i mean.

More and more…it feel like time….
