you follow me on Instagram, you’re probably sick of my Paris posts. Allow me
irritate you one last time please.<br />
<br />
I really really didn’t want to come here and say I love Paris, like I was full
on dead set against liking Paris because I’m the girl that likes to “not like”
what everyone else likes because I have to be different. But this one didn’t
work, Paris seriously STOLE my heart!<br />
<br />
Forget everything you’ve heard before, let me tell you about Paris. <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

is so full of life. Not anything I’m unfamiliar with (thanks Lagos), but it was

You will never in your entire life
eat a croissant that tastes better anywhere else than in Paris. Infact, let me
rephrase that. The best croissant you will ever eat can only be found in Paris.
Like, literally every Cafe will serve you mad croissants, don’t stress yourself
by going far. To be honest, Paris gets pastries right. If you think croissants
aren’t your thing (like I did), have a bite in Paris and thank me later.<u1:p></u1:p>

Of the 4 European countries I
visited, the people in Paris were hands down the warmest, friendliest and the
most helpful/polite. I’d been told about how rude the French are. Sis, not to
me. Every single time I had to climb the stairs with my 2 big boxes, someone
would always take them off me. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. One time I couldn’t find
the platform I needed to be on to catch my ride to Brussels; a stranger
followed me round the station checking the screens until we found it. I started
feeling bad at some point, like what’s all this niceness for; this was the
point that I realized that being Nigerian has made me extremely suspicious and
non-expectant of good civil behavior. Too poor.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

don’t joke with their air kisses; everywhere I went, I’d see friends kiss in
greeting...kiss left cheek, kiss right cheek and throw in a hug. Thank God I’m
not French because all that kissing will make me dizzy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

Taking this pictre was a mad struggle; I put my bag on the floor and set my iPhone in front of it with the 10 second timer on. The twenty something pictures almost like this one can attest to the difficulty in self-timer shots but I pressed on until I got this one. Not sorry though, it turned out really well.</div>

Did you know that quite a number of scenes from Mission Impossible: Fallout were filmed in Paris, especially at Trucadero square, Palais Royal and its garden, and also at the Arc de Triomphe. After watching the movie, I knew I had to visit these spots.</div>

I fell in love with Japanese food on this trip and Kintaro is to blame; I love how the restaurant is no fuss or drama, no fancy plating either, they just served my meal quickly and let me eat. The portions were very generous and the food was tatsy. I am now obsessed with Yakisoba.</div>

PARIS THROUGH MY EYES

If you follow me on Instagram, you’re probably sick of my Paris posts. Allow me irritate you one last time please. I really really did...

<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;">Hey Guys,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17.9px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;">My friend and I were talking yesterday about how we always start off praying for something and then get tired along the way when it seems like we’re not getting any answers. I won’t lie, I was a bit happy to hear I wasn’t the only one that this happens to, but I guess this is where persistence and patience come in.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"></span><br /></div>
</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;">How do you tell someone that’s been job hunting for a while to continue to be patient, to keep praying? Do those things put food on the table or buy you clothes, access to health care? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17.9px;">

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;">Someone even went as far as blaming it on our generation, the “microwave” generation...we want everything instantly. While there’s something to be said for that, I think it’s still annoying that no one acknowledges sometimes we outgrow patience. Why do I have to wait for soooo long while others don’t even know how being patient feels?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17.9px;">

</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;">Let me not even lie, at some point my prayers started becoming monotonous and repetitive. I started feeling like even God was tired of hearing me ask for the same things over and over again.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17.9px;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;"></span><br /></div>

</div>
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;">Truth is, there’s no happy ending here. You will have to keep being patient. Working hard patiently, praying with patience. I’m still coming to terms with the fact that I’m not a burden to God and that asking for the same thing one million times over is still ok. And because I believe that God tells no lies, I know that eventually my prayers will be answered.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div style="color: #454545; font-family: ".sf ui text"; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; min-height: 17.9px;">

<span style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif; font-size: 15pt;">How do you deal with unanswered prayers? Does your patience/faith run thin?</span></div>
