Day 1
On my way to the airport
May 7, 2022 in Nigeria ⋅ ☁️ 25 °C
Left the house with a Bolt for the airport. Took the Eliozu road and arrive at the airport shortly before 8:30am. Check in was smooth and effortless. My luggage was 22kg and I was asked to pay 1,000 Naira for the the 2kg excess weight. Back screening scanner wasn't functional and all bags had to be opened and checked by the airport security. Boarding commenced early and we took off at 10:00amRead more

Day 1
Arrived Lagos
May 7, 2022 in Nigeria ⋅ ⛅ 28 °C
Landed in Lagos at 10:50am, flight was smooth and uneventful. A bus picked passengers from the aircraft doors to the terminal building.

Had a quick Brunch at Chicken Republic after the meal I hailed 2 rides on Bolt but they both cancelled after the App indicated they had arrived. It then occurred to me that the local airport taxi association was disrupting hailing rides from picking up passengers at the airport. I eventually picked up an airport cab from their official park to the hotel for 3,500

Hotel POS didn't work so I transfered the payment through my mobile bank app.Read more

Mo ti de Ibadan
May 8, 2022 in Nigeria ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C
Arrived Ibadan at 10:45am. Negotiated a taxi to take me to IITA resort for 3,000 although I ended up adding an extra 500 as the driver was a pleasant guy. Was able to record some video on the camcorder during the drive into townRead more

Day 2
Shoprite
May 8, 2022 in Nigeria ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
Visited shoprite ring road to buy a few things I will need for the week. Shoprite was a mad house. Never seen a store so crowded with kids running up and down. Had to ensure my face mask was well worn as everyone else in the store did wear one.

Spent about an hour on the queue, had to pay cash as POS.

Bolt cab was reluctant to take us to IITA complaining that he wouldn't see any fare back so I had to increase the fare to 3,000 instead of 2.100.Read more

Day 3
Exploring IITA
May 9, 2022 in Nigeria ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Alarm went off at 5:45 am but I was too lazy to get up so I slept for another 1hr before finally pulling myself off the bed to start my morning walk. It was also an opportunity to explore the grounds of IITA and to enjoy the amazingly soothing scenery of well manicured grass and well catered flowers. The campus is really beautiful. My main aim was to discover the lake which I did after a 25min walk from my flatlet. Apparently the lake was created by widening a section of an existing river. The river also serves as source of irrigation for the numerous farms in the premisis. I had to cut short my walk to catch the breakfast

After a quick breakfast, I decided to explore some more taking a route from the back of my flatlet, midway down I felt it will be a good opportunity to track it down to the lake using a different route from the one I used in the morning.

In total I walked 15,000 steps covering 10.55 kms in the process and burning 926 calories.Read more
