Chukuka Chukuma opined:
"My friend Thessa Bagu you are indeed a rare breed. You came and thanks to some fellow called Bagu you made Nigeria your home. We appreciate all our Naija wives (and even our Naija husbands) in joining us to build this great nation.

George E said:
"Very nice indeed to see that you have fully adapted and acclimatized to life in Nigeria. Ironically, most Nigerians want things the other way around. They want to 'japa' to Canada. A lot of us would want to trade places with you. If only you can swap your Canadian passport with any of tone of them. "

What kind of Nigerians are you hanging out with :-) But seriously Lagos /Nigeria just grows on you... There are so many of us who genuinely want to help you feel local from get go! Thank you for sharing..."
