Hello Hello Hello!
I felt like the
previous post was getting a tad bit too long so decided to split the Abuja Chronicles into a 3 part series. I took over 200 pictures in Abuja but I'm obviously not going to post all of them. We sorted out the NYSC registration quicker than we thought so stopped by at the Craft shop to get some souvenirs.

| I love Jemma's robot earrings |
 |
| How cool are they?! They look like they're walking! |
 |
| Ready for the day's activities, Oshey! |
We drove past some pretty cool places like
 |
| The Central Bank of Nigeria |
 |
| Abuja National Mosque |
 |
| National Council for Arts and Culture |
 |
| The entrance to the market, we went on a friday so some of the sellers were at the mosque/heading to the mosque as we got there |
 |
| Feeling like a Fulani princess |
 |
| This picture reminds me of all those village scenes in Africa Magic movies |
 |
| I bought the full Fulani attire, that's what I'm carrying in the Black bag |
 |
| I can't wait to go there again |
I bought a lot of stuff but I didn't take pictures of them. Here's a picture of my little brother in the Dashiki set I got him. I also got a Fulani set for him, an ankara top for my mum, a buba like dashiki for my dad and an ankara bag, some jewellery (like these
red beads) and a saxophone print dashiki for myself.

| That's Deji |
We went to Food city for Lunch and ate at a Restaurant called Grills. The food was sooo delicious and they served Non-Alcoholic Cocktails in Huge Plastic Water Bottles that you could take away. I'll take pictures of the drink this time around.

| Chicken wings, Yummy!! |
 |
| Crabs, Delicious! I love Seafood!!! |

| The necklace i'm wearing in this picture was bought at the market and the shell bracelet too(I didn't waste time before I launched them mehn) |
The tailor Jemma's sister used is sooo affordable, she made all these for less than N10,000!
Very interesting pictures to look at. I guess I have to cultivate the habit of taking memorable pictures.
