This is true. With things like this it is often a matter of principle for me. I mean I asked them originally if they really needed 4 envelopes and they said yes. Now if they only need two, they should have no trouble turning over the remaining two (and they did), so I'm glad that worked out well.

…'tis not about being cheap but, demanding what is right. Until we consciously (& consistently) choose to do so (even at the expense of being thot cheap) we shall continue to be (unnecessarily) exploited.

@sting No vex; we'll speak English too. @Jaycee Maybe she was being polite but she didn't laugh at all. I think she was happy that I talked to her. Thanks for the prayers and the good wishes! Now you have me curious to know what Golden Morn is. @archiwiz Forgive me. What is Golden Morn? Thanks for the info! I checked the website and it seems like insect repellant is ok in my checked luggage. There are a lot of little rules though, check it out if you're bored. @Abbie Oh, so have you made some new friends then? I will have fun on the trip o! It's not too late for you to go. You're the one person who would fit into my suitcase without much trouble. Tim can come too :) Well the ijekuje was going to be put into my checked luggage. I really hope they don't go through it :( @Olay lol I can only eat Ritz when the mood strikes me. @Writefreak I'm glad I'm not alone in wanting my envelopes back! The trip is in a couple of weeks...time is just flying by. Thanks for the good wishes. @doja Surprisingly (even to me) I did get them back. God was on my side; I only had to mention it to the receptionist and it all worked out. @Femi B I'm leaving in a couple of weeks! My hand luggage is still empty and I'd be honoured if you'd show up there. :)

lol @ aloted seeing ijekuje…lol! Too funny, is that the carry on or does that bag go through customs? You can kiss your ijekuje good bye if customs in naija gets their hands on it.

OMG!1 Two guys were passing each other in the hall way at work and spoke yoruba to each other and I asked (as if I didn't know) "were you guys speaking yoruba"

I got all excited because though there are Naija names in the company directory I don't know where they are located physically. Nice to know there were at least two in my building.

Have fun on your trip. With all your planning, I'm feeling a sense of nostalgia. I wanna go too!!

Me late? We had a deal girlie…and you no come show face…

UUrrrghhhh… @Jaycee Golden Morn???? I never liked it at all….

GNG… They've gone beyond carry-ons oh… You know that pressurized cans can detonate, releasing the same energy as a bomb… Not to scare u sha but…

i love French too…. I can barely remember any from secondary school, but I still love it all the same.

I was confused about the degree thing, because I have 2 Bachelor's and two Masters degrees (in my dreams) so I wasn't sure. :d
