《Being Nigerian In A Foreign Country.》Complaints
Advertisement
Okay, so I know it's been a while since I posted something up here. Biko, bear with me, training to be a Pqediatric Nurse is not easy.
It's not beans o.
Apology accepted, abi?
Good. Thank you.
Moving on . . . lol
So, throughout this week, the weather here in England has been really hot. I'm talking the temperature hitting the 30's (°C) you know. It's like Nigeria paid a visit to the UK.
Now, you would think everyone will be content, seeming that the sun rarely shows its face here. But no, what are they doing? Complaining...
"Oh it's too bloody hot mate."
"Oh my God, I'm boiling."
"I'm melting!"
Ahnahn! Ogini? (What is it?) Why can't you just enjoy this warm, beautiful whether, while it lasts . . . because we all know it wouldn't.
Seriously . . .
You people should tell me o. . . because when its cold, you'll complain too.
"Cor blimey, I'm freezing out here man."
"Where's the sun gone? It's too cold"
"Ah! the weather's miserable."
It's such a British thing, I swear. Complaining about everything. In fact lemme give you a few list. They'll moan about:
How hot the weather is
How cold the weather is
If it snows
If it doesn't snow
Waiting in queues
Their horrible bosses
Horrible colleagues
Horrible neighbours
Public transport
Immigrants stealing their job
The National Health Service (NHS). I don't even why they complain about this. For God's sake it's free! Argh!
. . . and the list continues
It's like even if they enjoy it eh, they still have to complain about it.
When the sun is out, You'll see them all out, completely smeared all over in suncream. They'll be frolicking about barely clothed, getting tanned and soaking up the rays of the sun, but they'll still complain.
I think they just can't help it tho, it's one of those things.
I know humans in general, we're never satisfied, we complain and we always want more. But the British people? chai, they're on a whole different level on this. On a scale of 0-10? I'd say the children of Israel lol.
Where my Nigerian/African brothers and sisters at? Do Nigerians/Africans moan as much? Please let me know. Drop your comments 😘😘😘

Fallout: Vault X
An original novel set in the Fallout universe, written to be accessible to all, featuring unique people and places. Vol.II. out now Fallout: Vault X tells the story of John. A vault dweller, who spent every day of his twenty five years underground. Like his father, and his father before him. Proud to live in the last remaining bastion of humanity, all that survived The Great War of the atomic age. Hidden deep below the surface of the earth, toiling under brutal conditions. Year after year, decade upon decade. All to expand into the natural cave system the Vault occupied, building for the future. However, John knew what his forefathers did not, that everything he’d been taught was a lie. After finishing school at the age of ten, John received his standard issue pipboy. An arm mounted personal computer, worn by everyone in the Vault. Used to coordinate the relentless pace of expansion, needed to work as an apprentice. To learn the craft that would be his life’s work. A noble calling to ensure a future for all that remained of the human race. A quirk of fate saw John equipped not with the crude, clunky, pipboy model his father wore. That almost everyone around him wore. His looked smaller, sleeker, finished in a jet black sheen. And capable of doing far more than its drab counterparts. The world above had been ravaged by atomic flames, yet life clung to its bones. The Red Valley fared better than most in the century since the bombs fell. The clean water and rich soil protected by rolling hills. All spared from direct strikes, for the most part. Life survived here. Trees spawned from charred ground, misshapen, green leaves turned red. Along with simple crops, grown wild at first, then cultivated by the survivors. The scavengers of the old world were inventive, hardy people. All determined to rebuild in the ruins of a world they never knew. In the decades that passed settlements emerged. They grew, spreading along the valley floor. Reclaiming the pre-war remnants of the once industrialised heartland. Salvaging the robotic wonders of a bygone age to build their walls and work their fields. To protect them in the dark of the wasteland. But such things are uncommon in this world, and the rarer something is, the greater its value. And the worth of pre-war technology had not gone unnoticed. The last, real, power in this world rested in the mechanised hands of The Brotherhood of Steel. Forged from the mortally wounded old world military. The Brotherhood used its access to the weapons made for a conflict no one won to strike out into the wastes. Men and women were equipped with advanced armour, aerial transportation, high grade weaponry. Accompanied by the training, strength, and will, to put them to use. They established chapters and set up outputs far and wide. All dedicated to a single purpose. To ensure the technology left abandoned by its long dead creators didn’t fall into the wrong hands. Namely, any hands that were not their own. This is the world John escaped into. A place of horrors brought forth from atomic fire. A place where survival meant battling against the darkness. Fighting a war each day to get to the next. And war...war never changes

The Viadon Project: Extinction
In the year 2080, a group of fanatics believed that the world was going to end. In order to save the human race from extinction, a man named Damian Hunts created a time machine and travelled back in time to the Cretaceous Period alongside his fellow believers. They built a massive city on the continent of Laramidia, and named it Viadon. To keep their future generations from travelling back to a broken future, Damian and the Founding Families destroyed the time machine and created a their own version of history, completely leaving out the fact that they had time travelled, and that the Mass Extinction would happen thousands of years later. Two-thousand years later, the future generations of Viadon have no idea of their ancestors pasts, but things start to unravel quickly as Time Travelers come to warn them of impending doom. Vocabulary:Laramidia: was an island continent that existed during the Late Cretaceous period (99.6-66 Ma), when the Western Interior Seaway split the continent of North America in two.

Druid Evolution (A Battle Royale, Druid MC LitRPG/Gamelit Adventure)
A high school biology teacher is sucked into a new reality, where a mysterious Gamemaker forces him to fight for his life. With no other choice, Theodore Cross must become a Druid and master the powers of nature to protect himself -- and those he loves the most. New chapters every weekday at 9 AM CST. For advance chapters, see my Patreon page! Discord for Druid Evolution --------------------------------------------------------------- What to expect: 1. A pretty standard LitRPG apocalypse set-up, with certain high-potential players getting invited to participate in an Arena. 2. A MC who is human and empathetic, who makes mistakes and flounders sometimes, but who is willing to fight and kill to protect his friends. 3. A quest to save his best friend and crush from another party of players led by two psychopaths. The MC doesn't vie for power, but does what he thinks is right and gains power along the way. The basic set up resembles a love triangle, but will not go that way. 4. A Game/System that is reminiscent of both Skyrim and Dungeons and Dragons. 5. Some gore and violence, mild horror, some foul language, but no sexual situations or overly traumatizing content. 6. Typos -- this is a first draft, so bear with me! I am going to keep writing forward, then go back later and take comments and suggestions into account.
