Langsam drehe ich durch







Ich hatte es mir im Kopf gesetzt nachhause zu fliegen. Irgendwie, weil ich meine Familie sehen will, nach drei Jahren ist das auch verständlich. Zeitlich passt das gerade nicht. Das schlimmste ist ich kann nicht mehr an was anderes denken, es geht nur noch um die Reise was ich alles machen will und machen muss. Wohlgemerkt ich muss neben bei noch lernen.
 
Gestern habe ich geschafft ein Koffer zu kaufen, bis 1:23 Uhr war ich mit der Suche nach bezahlbaren Kleider Stücke auf Zalando und Amazon beschäftig. Ich meine ich frage mich ob ich nicht einfach nachhause fliegen kann, ohne mein Konto auszuleeren. Es wäre eine Option aber alle Geburtstagen, die ich verpasst habe, die leuchtenden Augen von meinen Nichten und Neffen, wenn die, die Verpackungen sehen oder die Klamotten an haben dafür ist mir das ganz wert.

Meiner Lieferung ist angekommen, es kann also losgehen. Was mache ich als erstes... ich muss noch zu Tropeninstitut... und denn mich vom meine Mädels verabschieden. Danach bin ich start klar.Ich freue mich auf die kleine und große Menschen und hoffe zu Gott das meinen Koffern genau 23 kg jeweils wiegen.

5 culturally or spiritually significant sites you can visit across Nigeria.

As the days into my trip progressed, I realized that a lot of the natural sites that survived or where maintained either had some spiritual or cultural ties to them. Now whether I believe the stories or not, were irrelevant. All that matter was that thankfully, they were being preserved, and I could visit them. Here are my favorites from the sites I visited Awhum Waterfall is attached to a monastery. The water is believed to be scared.  So much so that women are not meant to visit the fall wearing trousers. The waterfall is about an hour to a 90 minutes’ drive from Enugu city depending on where you are.  The whole tour is 6.77 km and it took us 2 hours 27 minutes to complete with stops for photos and breaks. It is absolutely beautiful. First you start on an open stretch, then the path starts to go downhill till you get to the stream that flows out from the waterfall. At this point we took off our shoes. Next stop was a cave with a statue of Mary. Inte...

Welcome to a place of firsts – Oyo Nigeria

What can you expect of Oyo? Oyo is in the south west geopolitical region in Nigeria. It has a population of over 5 million people predominately of the Yoruba tribe. The landmass is over 28,000 square kilometers. The landscape is made up of lots of hard formed rocks and semi shaped dome hills. Taking a drive through the old parts of Ibadan allows you see firsthand how hilly the city is and how houses are built around rocks.  I think the first thing that comes to mind for me when I think of Oyo is the University of Ibadan. Maybe it’s because two of my siblings studied in UI as it is fondly called. Or perhaps because it is one of the oldest and most prestigious institution of education in Nigeria. University of Ibadan was founded in 1948 as a college of the university of London. It became an autonomous institution in 1962. When I learnt I would visit this institution during one of its convocation ceremonies, my excitement doubled because it meant I would also experien...

Much Ado about Money

Ah money makes the world go round they say. So I decided against opening a Nigerian bank account cos I would lose money when I started exchanging for the other countries currencies that were on my travel list.  Withdrawing from the ATM gives me a much better rate and it would be a more authentic experience for someone with a foreign card . Over the years I have watched the Cash availability situation in Nigeria whilst using my regular master or visa card. I can’t tell if the withdrawal fee for each transaction has always been 1400 Naira but definitely over Easter and now that what it is. 3.5€ for every transaction?!? Here is even the crazier part of it the ATM limits you to a transaction of 20,000 Naira. So I would have to pay 3.5€ for roughly every time I withdraw 50€. I needed a way around this and I found one. The large sum ATM dispenser and a credit card that allows fee less transactions worldwide. 2016 I had a similar dilemma that the ATMs weren’t even accepting m...
