People, happy new month o jare, its been a while.
Oh yes, i admit to my ever growing laziness to write anything. Survival is hard enough as it is.
Well sometime last month, the office decides to send me to Ibadan to sort lots of stuff out. Seems like the folks in Ibadan have decided that they want to run a parallel government and have been neck deep in lots of stupid stuff which has really got HQ very annoyed.
Its bound to be a good experience for me, so i prepare for the trip. I'll be heading a team of 4 other guys and according to the brief from HR, we're supposed to be some sort of intervention unit to set things aright within a week.
We sneak into Ibadan on a Sunday afternoon and check into a very nice hotel. Its not my first time in Ibadan but it's my first paid official trip and the hotel room booked for me was great!
Anyhoos, i start work the next day and read the riot act to the regional managers and their crew. It's very effective as they were unaware of our presence in town and i'm chuckling inside at how cowed everyone looks. The team go out on their fact finding/mystery shopping trips and i'm based in the Ibadan Headquarters with everyone bending over backwards to try and impress..lol.
To cut a long story short, it's a fruitful trip. I find time to hook up with Mike and a few other old friends as well as explore the ancient city. The place is awesome! Food is cheap, beer might as well be free with the price it goes for over here and there's this feeling of old world charm that is everywhere...
The trip goes very well and ends with a reality check trip back to Lagos on Saturday.
