Well in keeping with the theme of hair: apparently getting Brazilians is not very African: my bf's sisters thought it was totally weird when i was raving about the place that i go to… (hmm maybe because it was over-sharing? never thought of that… oh well.)

Sweetie, I have been called an Oreo cookie so many times that I am sure I would be Bill Gates if I had a penny for all occurences.

* I run competitively… and actually enjoy it.

* I enjoy camping, white-water rafting, kayaking, etc…

* My music tastes are so wide in range that I even shock myself sometimes… Lol!

I love the outdoors and as such, I am often regarded as a lil' bit cuckoo… But hey! You got to do you, or else you die.

Enjoy your trip!

I love the idea of camping mainly because Im the adventurous type and Im always looking for new things to try out.

I hate Aso ebi. And they think i'm nuts and unnigerian because of that.

I know I do so many things that folks consider abnormal (I assume they mean unAfrican, or unNigerian) I can't remember them now.

Enjoy your camp.

For the record. I voted to have cash for making comments on your blog.

I'm not quite sure what I do that is not considered very Nigerian/African. There's probably something, but I can't think of it now.

Hmmm I think I will second Afrobabe in saying you're CRAZEEE! lol ok…that felt good…hee hee hee…tori Oloun camping bawo?….you left the comfort of your bed to go to the woods/forest to sleep on mats?…omo gal that's just not "nigerian" period!

okay back to unnigerian things…my peops have already put it down for you…bungee jumping,sky diving,snorkelling,water skiing,surfing amongst many others is what nigerians don't consider fun(but i think it is sha! apart from "camping…ha!!! while will i leave the comfort of my bed for mat!)…

The listed things above are considered too dangerous…as some of my naija peops will say:"na jeje trouble siddon wey yanga wan wake am" which literally means "trouble is sitting down peacefully and yanga(posing,feeling cool!) wants to disturb it!

Okay another thing…in Nigeria, there is no DIGNITY OF LABOUR…there are some jobs you do that may make your parents disown you…as in totally…but over the years, this is changing…

Eating veggies, salad isn't so Nigerian. Been a vegetatian like iwalewa says. Nigerians believe in their red meat :)

Not having a first degree isn't so Nigerian. Nigerian Parents expect u to get a first degree in a GOOD course..such as medicine, law, comptuer science, pharmacy, architecture…etc not Fine art, Yoruba or even English or Classics!
