  • What is beauty? You're sure to get a range of opinions on that, but for me what's beautiful is kind people living a good life. It's a little hard to find that in the stressful urban centers of Nigeria like Lagos, but the countryside is always a different story. I knew we had to escape the city. There was just one problem: I was told we might be kidnapped if we tried to travel out of town by road.

      To be honest most parts of Africa, if you meet a farmer at his farm he'll try to make you feel very comfortable and also give you so much farm produce. Am a Kenyan and my mum had so many chicken a while ago. Whenever a visitor came she would tell us "fry or boil some eggs for the visitor" then when the visitor is leaving, she would give some eggs or even a whole tray. May her soul rest in peace.

My ethnic group is neither Igbo, Yoruba, nor Hausa, and doesn't share any linguistic or cultural similarities with them. I don't even understand any of those languages. I am just putting this out there for the sake of those who might be misinformed by the driver's comment.
