Dope. What part of Nigeria is that? Are your parents well off compared to the general population there?
Lol at tuk tuks, though that was just a SE Asian thing

^we're raising money for his surgery. He was burned severely a few years ago by a woman that's going to spend the rest of her miserable life in jail.
NOBODY my age stays in the village in Feb, so it's cool that some can from the city to show a love because it was getting boring
Parents back in the day
My parents are very well off compared to most people... but most of what my dad and mom have are stuff they built when they were young. It's not like they have a bunch of money in the bank right now or anything like that but they'll always be comfortable. My dad has a bunch of businesses which do well for like 2 years each until ADHD makes him sell at the equipment and start another one. Right now he has a newspaper (which will stay cause that's his trade), and is the party leader for the opposition party in our area. He had a fish farm but sold them all smh.
I'm from Imo State, my village is Awomamma.
the tuk tuks are called Keke in Nigeria. Usually when governors ban motor taxis they get replaced with keke drivers and being that Owerri was the first to ban them the whole city is flooded with them. REgionally they go by the name of whoever banned the motor taxis, so in my state they're Keke Napep and in Lagos they're Keke Marawa The drivers are now too politically powerful to be banned, but they're way more civil than the motor taxis so it's all good.
great pics. what was the name of nigerian car that you mentioned couple of weeks ago??

My former elementary
That mast was built by a south african phone company on our land so the whole extended family gets a residual payment every year. It's helped a lot of ppl start businesses and pay for school

This kids help with the paper and print it. Their company makes a killing having an industrial scale printer. There's always a line to get in
