The thing is - many towns in Nigeria are already at this level, and still improving. I went to Aba, I was impressed. Calabar, I was impressed. In the last 10 years, Nigeria has improved a lot in terms of infra and it will only get better.

This is the only hotel in this country that lives up to 5star standards.

I’m at this salon weaving my hair. When I came in, they said my hair was too short and I needed kinky extension. I agreed, but told the stylist I couldn’t buy a full pack. She brought out a pack, cut out one bundle and sold it to me for ₦1,500. Halfway through my hair, someone came to buy kinky. The stylist brought out the SAME pack she had cut from, sold the remaining part to the woman at the same price she would have sold the full pack if I hadn’t bought from it. I asked her why she did that. She looked at me and said, “She won’t know.” I wanted to react, but every woman in the salon was like, “It’s normal.” Normal ke? Anyway, I’m never making my hair here again. If this is how you people run your salon, I don’t want to know what else is “normal” here.
