Home safe...but just for a While!!

Halo! Guten Tag!

I arrived safly at the Lagos International Airport, where my brother came to pick me! He was super happy to see me. Meanwhile as our plane landed, I had switched on my mobile phone, it began to ring endless, phone calls and text messages, I was happy to hear familiar voices and read welcome messages from friends, I was indeed humbled. I called Fiamma and Gitti to say that I am home safe , happy and missing them in all and how hot it was in Lagos! you need to see everyone removing all warm jackets!

My elder bother had prepared/cooked "Ogbono Soup with Eba(Cassava)" and kept it in the fridge for me..I immediately got it warmed and sat down on the floor(Carpet) in front of the TV and began eat,I ate it all with emotions and love.. with hands of course!!! It was great!!! I didnt even know he can cooked like that:-)

I have been very busy with my preparation for UN climate Change Conference in Copenhagen, and I had to fly the next day to Abuja, the Capital city for my visa interview so now I have applied for Visa, will collect it back on the 3rd and will leave on that date too to Copenhagen via Frankfurt.

In Abuja, I had a Hero's Welcome as well, from known Friends and colleagues to people who have only heard about "Esther Agbarakwe work with youths on climate change and sustainability" I shocked hands with great people from Government to International NGOs and to local groups!

you needed to see my facebook pages! full with Welcome message and Good will Messages, I was supper happy and humbled

the Next day, I had to travel to visit my boyfriend who was waiting to see me, I am with him now, as My country celebrate Eid-el-kabir, a Muslim Holiday and I am thinking about Kiki and Rifky..wishing them a happy holiday too.

It been amazing coming back home but then the hope of going back to Europe next week is even greater! because it an opportunity for me to achieve an aspect of my DREAM PLAN: GREEN EDUCATION FOR YOUTHS in Nigeria!.

I am SUPPER-happy, SUPPER-inspired and SUPER-grateful to D&F, for all the support and Care.

see you soon!!
