Naija Weekend

It's Nigeria's Independence Day (anniversary) on Monday - October 1st and today is the first day I've felt home-sick in such a long time. Actually it was because a friend was telling me what he had for lunch in the office all week in Lagos i.e. Monday - yam pottage, Tues - this, Wednesday - that....Friday - Iyan and Efo Riro with snail and meat. Before I order that one to be delivered to my office in this Jand, we would have seen a few more independence days. Arghhh, well he calls me an Abolounjeku and I called him an Abaiyalasepoku! LOL i.e. grubby do calling grubby do, grubby do! And on that note, another friend (YYTX - lol) is telling me on msn that she is craving suya. I should send her that Suya Video on YouTube to tickle her fancy.

So, currently listening to TY Bello's album courtesy of DonChiChi (fellow-blogger) and wondering what I should put up today.

First off, congrats Peridot and Ruby! They are featured in this month's TL WA Magazine (True Love West Africa). See P&R on the pages below.

One of the two co-founders (as I don't know whether she is Peridot or Ruby), has a blog - check it out "Low's Mental Floss"

Peridot and Ruby B-Stoned Collection courtesy L.A.

This is really a "name-dropping" post oh - teehee!

So:

Time Out Nigeria - the new-ish Magazine soon to be launched. We've all heard of the famous Time Out Magazine used as a guide for going out, eating out, drinking out, travelling out, anything out! Well now, there's a Naija version. Click to see the website.

For Sushi Lovers in England - Yo Sushi offer here!

Mode Men Magazine - Don't get it twisted! First there was MADE Men, now we have MODE Men Magazine (not sure in which order). I smell some competition here, but hey I'm just a keen reader. The Mode Mag looks hot though but I've got nothing but love for my friends at MADE. Keep up the good work guys!
