@1025Subzero@OurFavOnlineDoc I understand. You mentioned those areas to show that their are affordable areas in London as well.
You're being sarcastic the way you put it. Hence; my sarcasm as well.
October 2013, I secured admission into AAUA, tuition + acceptance fee was 58k, resumption slated for February 2014. November ending, Dad called me to a corner and gave me 50k out of 60k he collected from LAPO. Hold this he said, we will use the remaining to get food at home.
In 2018, I lost my job in Lagos. Hid it from family for 4 months.
Every morning, dressed up, carried a laptop bag, and left the house like normal. Sat in a buka in Yaba with free Wi-Fi applying endlessly.
One day, my dad called me aside.
“I know you lost your job.”
I froze.
He said, “I didn’t want to shame you. A man feels small when he can’t provide.”
Then he gave me ₦20k from pension, with his arthritis bills piling up. “Hold yourself. Don’t tell your mother.”
I cried that night. Not for money. But for the quiet love protecting my pride.
Two months later, a better job came.
Now I pay all his bills.
That ₦20k wasn’t cash. It was belief. And belief changes everything.
Do you have moments when your parents stood by you?
He added, I will get you the balance before you resume in February. That single act from him was my motivation throughout my university days. At a point that I wanted to give up, I remember what he did and said to myself; 'I can't let this man down'.
I've been to this town, Iwoye-Ketu in Imeko Afon. MTN was confused; they kept sending 'Welcome to Nigeria; welcome to Benin Republic every minute.
Do you know their is a village in Ogun State that is using soler power to generate electricity for the whole village?
There’s a town in Ogun State that exists in both Nigeria and Benin. It has one king, the people speak Yoruba throughout, and the children attend school in both countries. One community, two nations, yet they live as one town.
@OwoSports1@UnkleAyo Try Lewisham too, especially the market area, the whites and Pakistanis selling stuffs there are already speaking and advertising like the Yorubas
