VACATION

Here I am again at Murtala Mohammed.......going home for vacation...ok remember my last blog read tired?..indeed I was.......Planning time at RB is always a tough one and gets the best of me......it took me a couple of crazy nights out to let it all go and now a simple break at home with family should help me sail through the year....the business numbers for my portfolio are also looking up so now I feel better.....
So what has been happening so far...the clubs in Naija are fantastic!From Aura to Auto Lounge to Club 10 to Bungalows..Reeds....Ember......Piccolomondo,Caliente,Bacchus....and I still have not been to half of them........
The strange thing is I meet more expats than Naijerians..(location..location..)..read the Island...fun times though.....
Did I say Naijerians love to spludge?Yes they drink so much Champagne and Heynessy in the clubs it is amazing.......They basically live it up and do not worry about tomorrow....all of us should learn something.....
And now I do know the tricks on how to survive in Nigeria!ACCEPT THE CIRCUMSTANCE
That FLIGHT KQ 531 had better be on time today..Im looking forward to catching up with family,friends,malls,fresh air,familiarity,driving myself....and good food!

I`M TIRED........

As the title may suggest....I really I`m tired of a lot of things that I cannot divulge on this blog...needless to say..it has been a hectic Aug with preplan 2011 in the way...this does not go away....every year..August is the worst month in rb running up and down,thinking,planning,filling in worksheet after worksheet,reviewing presentations and finally making the final pitch to the regional guys..of how good you are going to make the new year...with the great plans!!!!!!!!!!!!!...hhhmmmmm....I wonder.........My kid bro came to visit during final week of preplan and boy was it a nightmare..the guy saw me at mignight on a daily basis and early morning before I left for work.....Not a good host I must admit...but tks to Hussein my driver..he got to see a lot of Lagos.....Guilt is what I still feel......
A fasting month it has been and with my fellow MMs being Muslims..I have suffered with no Indian/Pakistan dishes to feast from......its ok!I have survived and Iftaar always works for me..it`s like postponing lunch to 7pm.....Now for these 2days of Idd...what to do what to do...decisions decisions....Spa..gym.....steam...yeah!that`s the plan..I do need a break to figure out a couple of things................................
