I found that quite funny. Lagos is fun and sometimes pretentious, with all the people who love speakinf their "fonetics". <BR/>Love the city though!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200145942756397983.post-91276274763631691952008-01-19T08:53:00.000-08:002008-01-19T08:53:00.000-08:00anonymous? ore mi, u can't tell?

We were talking about racism in the West and itzs effects on Africa...?<BR/><BR/>As for the art upstairs, my first visit to TK was for a photography exhibition of a dear brotherfriend. I believe his work is still on display...<BR/><BR/>Well done, keep sharing, and keep shining.TheFAMommyPreneurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723918654355867068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200145942756397983.post-73936860102775373882008-01-19T07:18:00.000-08:002008-01-19T07:18:00.000-08:00SAYMAMA: Ese pupo.

The problem is the fact the quality is often bad and even for the really high quality ones, high-street and high-end shops will not carry them on their shelves, if they do check under "Ethnic” or “World"... In the UK experience, you often have to go to Finsbury Park or Peckham or some Naija enclave to get these mags. So, yes the problem is not just production but also distribution. Thanks for your kind comments and for spreading the word. <BR/><BR/>Afolabi; Thanks for yours. I have heard PH is like a live wire! I am planning to do a tour soon. Wanna swap for a bit? <BR/><BR/>Yes, Lagos can be as described. TK sometimes charge you £500 for WI-FI access. Don’t forget to check out the art upstairs for inspiration first. Interesting: I may just be sitting there blogging - as I am now- when you come and you would not be able to tell. The beauties of anonymity...TPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05216446224508264843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200145942756397983.post-38280533288697866092008-01-17T14:13:00.000-08:002008-01-17T14:13:00.000-08:00chop life city indeed!

I guess you have to love Lagos life, or leave it. Not evryone 'chops' life in Lagos. Personally, I find Lagos overwhelming and exhausting. People sure DO know how to party though.TheFAMommyPreneurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02723918654355867068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4200145942756397983.post-16797651670482002152008-01-16T13:02:00.000-08:002008-01-16T13:02:00.000-08:00lagos.."chop life city"..I'm a ph guy and that cit...lagos.."chop life city"..I'm a ph guy and that city is boring compared to lagos...I just couldn't help but notice how in Lagos people are ever ready<BR/> to "faaji".

I've often said that international social and fashion magazines, such as the likes of InStyle and Harper's Bazaar should feature some of our social scenes in Nigeria and the powerful fashion statements on full display..from cars to outfits. It would certainly give the Hollywood scene a run for their money; and it would certainly present a stark contrasting image to the obvious ones in circulation about Nigeria or Africa in general.<BR/>I love TerraCulture, a refreshing and welcome haven from the chaos that is Lagos.<BR/>Looking forward to reading more of your reflections.Saymamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17897913297103776168noreply@blogger.com
