My hectic weekend

I had a rather hectic weekend. I travelled from Lagos to Port Harcourt, then to Akwa Ibom before heading to Cross River and back to Lagos. Needless to say, I am totally tired.I managed to take a few pictures..thanks to Sony Ericsson. The clarity of this phone is amazing and the phone is only a 2 mega pixel.
The roundabout outside the gates of University of Calabar...Great Malabites...una campus fine small...
The new library in UniCal..My guide left in 1995, and he says it wasn't so new then...LOL..
The Computer Centre..Abeg who has the 411 on this Afrihub? I know OBJ was carrying it on his head..I need the nitty gritty...
The Bridge between Akwa Ibom and Cross River States. The Bridge is over the Itu River, the same one that leads to Cameroun.
A clearer or rather, dirtier view of the Itu River.
A roundabout that I like...the way the Calabar is curved..
Male Hostels in UniCal.
The female hostels...popularly known as Club 8& Club 9
I wanted to buy Crayfish for my mum o..and since I was at the SOURCE,I wondered why not.The women knew I was a "TOURIST" and told me the last price for the one in the bag was 4 grand...the men who were my tour guides said they would die before pay..and i didn't want dead men near me..ok ok,I was being kind of cheap.
Dry and expensive Catfish. That heap cost about 30grand...
I am all against this so called international Airport that they Government of Akwa Ibom is constructing..but Akpabio na fine boy, so i had to take the picture. They have over 500 tractors the bought for their food basin project which they have not done anything about...and we are opening our mouths to complain about food scarcity...nonsense..
I rarely see thatched mud houses.

These are flying boats I saw at the bank of the Itu River via Oron.
They say that it is about thirty minutes to Cameroun, via speed(flying)boats. They smuggle barrels of Petrol through this means...Some people even take mattresses and foodstuffs..

Same River..

The river, supposedly has a beach and that is the beach hotel. The beach is Bahakim Beach and what you can see is part of the market, which is actually on the beach.

The market...where they bring most of the crayfish in Nigeria from.

Death

This is not intended to scare anyone, but it is something everyone has to face...sooner or later...

On Monday, I went out of the office to do something and on my way back, in front of Yoruba Tennis Club, I saw a man on the ground on his back. It has later that I learnt that he had collapsed and had fallen on his back and had not moved. He was eventually moved to the General Hospital on Broad Street. I do not know if he survived.

It got me thinking about Death in general. About how one can drop dead at just any time...DO I hear any "It is not my portion?" I wonder whose it is when people say that. The truth is that the body is just a machine and it can fail one at anytime.

I have been so ill, that I believed that I would die.I think at about that time, I came to terms with death. I lost my Uncle on the 6th of May 2002 and he was the 1st person I consciously loved. I know it is not something anyone can control, so I have come to terms with it...

Crawling Out!!!!

I am so sad that I allow silly things to get to me.

It started in february when Mb(a guy I like) upset me. Then I started going through several other things and then I just closed up. Even sending an email was difficult.

I couldn't even send emails. Fortunately, I am snapping out of it because I know that if i let it go on for much longer, then i will be the loser.

I will try to write more and post as often as I can.

Much love to Supergirl and Afrobabe. I read your blogs, just didn't comment.

I am back...for good...
