But better late than never I guess, right? So here goes...NIGERIA is the the most populous country in Africa and the tenth largest country by population in the world, and is located at the curve of West Africa. As with many of the other nations of Africa, Nigeria's national boundaries result from its colonial history http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BeingBukolaBravely/~3/x4R5kVKBnKU/nigeria-primer.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bukola)6http://beingbukolabravely.blogspot.com/2008/06/nigeria-primer.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203257503006699645.post-3997886954786640178Mon, 30 Jun 2008 04:29:00 +00002008-07-02T19:03:58.996-05:00NigeriatravelsSince I was a kid electricity or the lack of steady electricity, has has been a big problem. When I was growing up you could have weeks of uninterrupted electrical supply, followed by a week or more of none. You could have one to a few days a week of electricity and then none at all for a one or more days. It was whatever took the fancy of the governmental body that was in charge of electricity http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BeingBukolaBravely/~3/S5mjqe9eL9s/life-in-nigeria-electricity.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bukola)0http://beingbukolabravely.blogspot.com/2008/06/life-in-nigeria-electricity.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203257503006699645.post-7612076015836158879Mon, 30 Jun 2008 03:44:00 +00002008-06-30T00:34:45.161-05:00NigeriatravelsSo here's the thing, being labeled a "third world country" comes with a lot of preconceived notions about a country. There can be a lot of good existing with the bad. In my country, the gap between the rich and poor is very very wide. There are people who are so wealthy that they can send their children to Harvard and Oxford Universities and there are people who pick trash to eat living right http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BeingBukolaBravely/~3/qa6KHVjpWGU/life-in-nigeria-part-1.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bukola)0http://beingbukolabravely.blogspot.com/2008/06/life-in-nigeria-part-1.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203257503006699645.post-6355458377801833956Thu, 12 Jun 2008 18:40:00 +00002008-06-12T14:01:17.616-05:00NigeriatravelsHello everyone! I know three months is long time and I hope that there are even any of you left that were reading this blog. I hope to make it up to you.So I went home for a while and it was rather harder than I thought to post from home as Nigeria doesn't have the best internet speed and access can be limited and expensive. So I hope you all will forgive me. Going home was a wonderful experiencehttp://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BeingBukolaBravely/~3/Q3pQJp4RvqQ/hello-america-im-back-if-anyone-even.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bukola)2http://beingbukolabravely.blogspot.com/2008/06/hello-america-im-back-if-anyone-even.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203257503006699645.post-2569269345606934500Sat, 23 Feb 2008 00:54:00 +00002008-02-22T19:07:48.086-06:00Day to DaytravelsSo I am trying to sublet my apartment for about 3 months so I can go home to Nigeria. It's all very nerve racking really, but I am extremely excited to be going home after 10+ years. I hope to have a great time. Take lots of pictures and even try to blog from there. Lagos is incredibly metropolitan city, gorgeous depending on what angle you are looking from and crazy (as above) or hot, crowded http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BeingBukolaBravely/~3/cvb13NcvRbQ/lagos-here-i-come.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bukola)3http://beingbukolabravely.blogspot.com/2008/02/lagos-here-i-come.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203257503006699645.post-3453598987662946682Thu, 21 Feb 2008 09:15:00 +00002008-02-21T04:03:36.366-06:00inspirationfurnitureinterior designSo, here is my first post about some of the things I love in general. Like interior design and just not any kind, but it mostly leans to the Scandinavian style, old meets new, mid-century style. I am such an odd bird amongst my friends because I think they love mostly everything new in their homes and such. I certainly do not begrudge them that, as everybody has their tastes.

I am looking on Craigslist, newspapers, Monster and Careerbuilder and I have signed up to talk to a recruiter for creatives next week. I have also decided that I want to try to break into the Copywriter aspect of the advertising field. I am sure that I will have to start from the bottom and that is entirely fine, seeing as I am not http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BeingBukolaBravely/~3/IKBOdQyBX3g/how-to-keep-on-going.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bukola)1http://beingbukolabravely.blogspot.com/2008/02/how-to-keep-on-going.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2203257503006699645.post-6930702611379880862Wed, 20 Feb 2008 02:56:00 +00002008-02-19T23:56:41.467-06:00Day to DayThis is my first blog and with it I am hoping to share my thoughts on life as an immigrant from Nigeria, aspects of design from Texas, the U.S., Nigeria and other parts of the world, food, and life in general. I hope people will learn a lot about my culture as I will learn about theirs. I hope to start lively and respectful conversations, make new friends and enrich my views of lots of http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/BeingBukolaBravely/~3/xxi9m5nwvwc/being-bukola-bravely.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (Bukola)3http://beingbukolabravely.blogspot.com/2008/02/being-bukola-bravely.html
