I cannot stand the dreary life people live here in America, I cannot stand the food, the over-processedness of everything, and the constant feeling of being just a face in the crowd, no matter how hard I'm working to make a difference. I miss home, and I've decided that if I'm really going to impact on the world, then I should do it there first of all places. I have bad dreams about moving back to Abuja and not knowing where to start. R-E-A-L-L-Y bad dreams.

I'm presently thinking of making that move (from the U.S.) but i'm so under-informed, it's good to know there's someone willing to share their experience. Hmmm, I would like to get your advice on moving back; do you have an e-mail address where i can reach you at?Mizz_lelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15035254222041371784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14010698.post-89459738791706521952007-12-05T05:05:00.000-05:002007-12-05T05:05:00.000-05:00I'm thinking very seriously of relocating too b4 i...I'm thinking very seriously of relocating too b4 it gets too late and I can no longer 'fit' in.

Like it or not, there is a ceiling (invisible of course) beyond which we can't aspire to in the west, and I'm beginning to believe that things such as constant power and constant water are transient things. After earning all the money, one begins to look for self satisfaction, something that is incredibly difficult to come across here...<BR/><BR/>Staying outside Naija for the long haul is not an option.Chxtahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03363269342812285103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14010698.post-64733946249995158132007-12-01T08:36:00.000-05:002007-12-01T08:36:00.000-05:00My dear I hope it isn't your own computer you are ...My dear I hope it isn't your own computer you are using to connect to the net out there.
