DIARY OF AN ENUGU CHICK - I want to flex wisely

I just semi-permanently moved to Enugu. I think it's semi-permanent because I don't know what fate has in store for me. I have been in Abuja almost all my life and I believe I will never have chosen to stay in Enugu. As the good girl I have been, I obediently followed my parents here despite the fact that friends advised against it. They believe that I am an adult and should lead my own life, I knew they wanted the best for me but Drax once said to me, "Nenye, never live alone."  I remember that even my service days, someone just had to sleep beside me for fear of the roaring lions #ifyouknowyouknow# enough of my rants, let's go back to business.

Shout out to my photographer #smiles

Enugu is cool and beautiful, it has an Abuja ambience too. Talk of fresh vegetables and fruits and starch but water and light is nothing to write home about - especially water. I remember eating Abacha for the cool sum of two hundred naira and I was filled and praising God. The hills and trees in Enugu is beautiful and if you are thinking of a hideout, come to Enugu. Now here are  my problems in Enugu.

I can't seem to find a free recreational area, I have never found an open space to relax with friends, relaxation must be in a bar, hotel or fancy entries where you have to spend a lot so as not to be embarrassed for staying past your time. The very day I managed a Shoprite hangout with my siblings, I saw how security men abused and kicked people off their seats for over staying, and happy new comers gladly sat in joy, I guess the only reason I wasn't abused was probably because I wore good makeup and looked good in their eyes, I swear these days that I am always on makeups, a thing I would rarely do in Abuja.

I had hoped for good shows, not the flavour night parties, I mean good shows like a talent concert. I want to go for theatre shows, intellectual campaigns, seminars; not for slim teas and greedy business scams, good launching and all that but go no go and awareness programs, that is where youth meet people of like-minds.

To even participate in social gathering, you should have good cars, outfits and oyinbo accent that will separate you from the chaffs. It didn't matter what class you belong to or what you do for a living , you just have to create an impression. I see fake people everyday, fraudsters, borrowers that never paid back and all the lying chick's too, if you find one good one, please, never offend them. I see empty stomachs covered in lots of effizy. To fit into this society , there are lots of adjustments to do; like accepting people the way they are, you know that Enugu especially the Igbos know it all. Women here are calm in the face of verbal abuses, just to get a good husband and not labelled stubborn or mannerless. Where will girls learn to hustle and make a name for themselves instead of waiting for a rich husband? It is definitely not in Enugu.  Shout out to all the chicks in Abuja  and Lagos and obodo oyibo, trying to make ends meet, doing odd jobs and reading non stop for a better tomorrow. You are remembered.  This is the Enugu I have seen but you can debunk this notion in the comment section, tell us places we need to see, and the joy in 042, people like me will highly appreciate.
