.

I want to plan a trip for my 30th birthday (3 years from now) to either Nigeria or Ghana. Which one should I start with?

some of the lost boys who were brought to TN.

I must say though as someone who is almost certainly (I say almost because I haven't done a genetic test, but relatives have...also the whole Caribbean black thing..)has some lineage in Nigeria specifically but West Africa generally, I did want to visit West Africa first....

Of course I'd be happy to go to any country on the continent....can you get me a discount on travel?

i say Nigeria just because everyone goes to Ghana and Lagos is on my bucket list.

More interested in W.Africa, then the South honestly.

I trust your taste

hope u been well.

at my last job my manager was Indian and would always talk shit about our mangoes, we'd always argue about it.
He went for vacation and brought me a dozen mangoes back.
Shut me the fuck up. I had never (and still haven't to this day) tasted sweeter and juicier mangoes.it was unreal and worth his gloating.the crazy thing is they looked really average too.

I've already had it out with Nigerians about their plantains.

I've had mangoes from a lot of places,nothing even came close.

but I can bet money that the mangos you get are 10x better than the trash we get from Mexico or Hawaii.

Caribbean mangos are overrated too.

i'm not impressed with mangoes at all in general. i guess i won't really know a good mango until i eat one from india lol

after i hit this powerball...its on the bucket list.

Mexican mangoes are the worst, dry and bland.
Maybe it's because they have to be picked early to last longer?

which is the indian style mangoes and yes, these are the shit

it pains me to say this but it's really not the same.
We are defeated akon.

as adorable as they are, they're fucking delicious
i'ma be on that goat in no time at this pace bro

my goal is to bottle feed one from birth
name him pet him love him
kill him
eat him

baby steps tho

hope all is well

beef is great but the flavour in lamb is something else.so tender
Baby goats are the way to go bro, our coconut island cousins use old and leathery goats in their food so they shoulder a lot of blame for goat meat hate.
Baby goats well seasoned and well cooked (never medium) can go up against any meat and especially in a broth or curry type dish.

what's been up?

I'm good , how are the grandchildren?
Been working really hard and traveling a lot these past few months.
What's up with you?

peace king :-)
they're well...like little adult lol
I'm hoping to get them a weeks this summer...

me?
I'm doing some dying...
living, learning and setbacks
but nothing I can't bare...

..

The married lady too busy to post,lol
How's life treating you?
