A full day’s work, paid off, we can all agree Be on the look out for new ads coming soon!

It was too bad I missed the “Calabar Carnival” which is the biggest festive Carnival in all of Africa. This year was the best one yet, and the photo ops were limitless. I arrived a whole day after it ended…also, it takes a whole day’s worth of travel to get from Las Vegas to Abuja. I got to spend some time in Frankfurt, but nothing worth writing about. It was nice to finally visit the graves of my grand parents. I took a slave history tour, and visited the National museum to learn more about ancestry and check out what they had on grand pa – I just wanted to make sure Wikipedia was accurate in their descriptions. I attended a wedding ceremony, then spent new years eve/day at The Sheraton with my big baller oldest brother, the Honorable George, or as we all call him, Senior. The next day, I took a trip to visit mom in Cross River State, where I spent my days at my childhood home, revisiting the memories I’d kept close to my heart, all these years. I visited any and everyone that required visiting, which kept me busy. I brought loads of gifts, thanks to some lovely friends from the U.S. The trip kept getting better and better, and then the President announced the removal of the fuel subsidy, forcing the National Labor Congress to call a nationwide strike, in protest. Land transportation was at a stand-still, along with local and international travel, Sea Ports, Banks, etc. A.T.M machines had been drawn out completely, which meant things were just getting worse. Everyday, we watched the news, my mom and I, to see if the President realized the error with his plan, but…nothing! 5 days later, he came to an agreement with the Labor congress, and the strike was called off. I saw it as a great experience, but I wasn’t keen on missing school and work. When I got to the airport, my flight class was upgraded to Business, which made traveling back quite luxurious. Now, I want to be a business man, just so I can fly business class, every time I fly. I’m like Adam. I’ve eaten the apple, and there’s no turning back – although, that seems like an odd metaphor. I didn’t get to shoot as much as I would have loved to, but you can still enjoy some of my shots in the PROJECT section of my site, and on my facebook page. I’ve got some big goals, and school is in the way of those goals, so I’ve decided to take a break, and complete my film degree. I’m now a full time student, until December, but that doesn’t mean I won’t try to see the world, any chance I get.
Keep Nigeria in your prayers. The Boko Haram Insurgents have unleashed a series of terrorist acts against Christians, all over the nation, forcing the country into a state of mourning, fear of living life, and praising God, and it is unclear how long this will last, although I believe it will pass.
Cheers!
