These eyes sure do say alot!!


Yeah, your eyes are certainly not decieving you. That is the view of Port harcourt from one of these creepy satellites( Thanks to google earth). I was so excited to spot my house. It brought back so many memories of my life in Nigeria. Looking at this picture, made me giggle. The contrast between the shell staff residential area and the surroundings is extremely obvious. While, the former looks like a very leafy surburb, the latter comprises of buildings arranged in a very disoderly manner(entropy..lol). Though, I do not stay in the "surburb", I am very familiar with the place, as I have access to it. However, my house is very close to it. It was also amazing to note the dark red and rusty zinc cielings that paraded most of ph, and the very few light blue, pink, green,ash, and white cielings. Definitely, we all know the difference in the classes of people that stay in these areas. This reminds me of what I saw on the news about Nigerian. It claims that most of the wealth of the nation lies in 10 percent of its population. Evidently, this picture states that. Somehow, I agree with the claim, but i'll be satisfied it were raised to 20 %.
