Settled.......but never at ease.......

Guess when you get used to a place.........things become familiar and suddenly you have no great stories to tell?So my break home was awesome.........no laptop...no communication with office..(yeah I know people panic when nobody calls from the office?)....but really?you think you are dispensable........I`m in the process of learning to eat life with a big spade!That is how they do it in Naija......Back home in Kenya we are to conservative....we procastinate...we worry about tomorrow...we keep wondering of what if what if?And end up never really enjoying the fullness of time....and life....moral of the story?Savour every moment in time...it never repeats itself.....I am indeed appreciating Ogaland with time.........
I came to realise that when you want peace...go to Kenya...if you want chaos,robustness...go to Lagos......So Wangari got married and yeah going home.....everyone thinks you come carrying jobs in your hand bag.......why has the world not moved on?Esp relatives...?Nepotism is a thing of the past.....
The diversity of people in Nigeria...(expat community) is also amazing.......meet all sorts of people and realise that you are now operating global networks.....
Ok......more peculiar Naija habits...getting sick...Oh Lord.....when they don`t wanna work...it`s either Typhoid or Malaria....it is really ridiculous that they do not know if you have either of these ailments...you are close to deathbed hence would be missing for 2 weeks from office...but no...they miss office one two days and then back to office...I mean really?
Today..is indeed a good day......while I was busy blasting off my youngest brother....9K these kids have no idea what hustling is?)the older one...had some surprising news to share....good on you Mysa!Hoping for the best!
I know I`m settled in Naija.....but my heart is still uneasy..........I wonder why?Or I`m I being Kenya?
