Destination wedding are gaining in popularity in Nigeria. I’m not sure why destination weddings are popular in other parts of the world but in Nigeria, I think a big part of it is that Nigerians love to show off. Nigerians love the biggest, the most wanted and the most expensive. Destination weddings fit right into…
You know that time I mentioned that I would put up a post about my visit to Victoria Falls? Well, this is that post 🙂 When I was about 14, my parents and I went on holiday to Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and South Africa. In Zimbabwe, we went to Victoria Falls and I loved it. I think…
Djokovic celebrating a point during a tennis match I love tennis. Before illusions of Venus Williams come to anyone’s mind though, let me qualify that statement. I love watching tennis on TV.
