Hello there,I hope youāre having a good day. since youāre about to read about Nigeria, I would love to gist you a little about Nigeriaās recent milestone.
Actually itās two, first one is Nigeria has just launched Air Nigeria. āļøš„³
Second is, the Air Nigeria airline has just one planeš¤£.
End of gist.
I want to live in Nigeria, precisely Lagos and more precisely Lekki. You may be wondering why Nigeria? Why even Africa in the first place?
Well, as you may or may not have known, Iām a Ghanaian and I live in the northern region of Ghana. Ghana is very much like Nigeria. Itās safe to say Ghana and Nigeria share more similarities than differences.
Apart from stable electricity and a better jallof rice, Nigeria can arguably gloat of having a more (better) of everything Ghana has (people, land, money, music, and terrorists), well excluding a good looking president, in that context, we can both settle diplomatically for a draw š¤
Anyway back the topic. I would love to live in Nigeria for one reason, discomfort. Iām at a point in my life where I feel being comfortable is the biggest hurdle that is keeping me away from reaching my highest potential. I feel very comfortable living here in Ghana, a pleasure that I believe I do not deserve. Confort at this point in my life is my biggest enemy.
I would like to leave my comfort zone to a place that conditions will discipline me enough punctually and consistently do whatever is required of me to succeed and not just what I feel or when I feel like doing it.
I understand this may sound eerie but trust me if you live a second inside my head, I would understand what Iām trying to say.
To be very clear, Iām not just interested in living in Nigeria, Iām very much interested in living with Nigerians. Over the years through my social me experiences especially with twitter, Iāve grown fond of the contemporary Nigerian youth. The level of grit, resilience and determination theyāve demonstrated over the years is phenomenal.
Iām very aware that living in Nigeria and living among Nigerians is not all that rosy, Iām aware that there are certain black sheep among the resilient Nigerians and Iām very prepared for the hustle.
