At the departure lounge of Heathrow airport.

At the airport on my departure date , I met this lovely couple Mr and Mrs Morrisons(British nationals) by share coincidence they were also emirgrating to New Zealand to start a new life and business. Just like me the congestion charging scheme introduced by Mr Mayor had taken a toll on their business located within an apt lively street of the city of London.

We got chating right from the begining "very strange" said the husband, " we could not sell our house as most of the propective buyers were in a damn chain" time was running out on them the only choice available to them was to let it out via an agent, the home sale information booklet policy was a constraint. The wife wanted to know what living, working, education, real estate, and vacation was like in N.Z. They had the opportunity and privilege of watching a video clips downloaded from the internet, the children even had the headteacher of their new school speak to them on line personally. In the end, a lot of thier questions were nearly answered via electronic meduim delightfully put together by their host nation. www.viator.com

Finally ,it was time to board the plane, we exchanged pleasantries, as they depart from sight, emotion and a volcano of thoughts rush through my mind, why! why! is it difficult for the Nigerian state's department for information to package a similar electronic medium effective and dependable for tourist and it's citizenry? or could it be that we have one but there is not enough publicity to showcase such? Then suddenly reality dawn on me, that were your hearth is there truly is home, the echo of a quiet claron call becone to me silently in the background our nation Nigerian need help let us come home and help salvage its riuns.

That night the flight home was awesome , the plane crew were unusually friendly and carelessly generous with food and beverages served on board. While some of the passangers on board slowly snore away in thier sleep, the thoughts of living and starting a new life style becloud my mind. I remember the gaze and look of vision on my families faces and it's logical interpretation of the budget in my pocket; brings with it the lonesome thoughts of making new friends and perage a honourary degree (Begin.Again) in Nigerias classroom of life. www.flyer.shoong.com code:41A31. tnx

I,m ever so sorry, i do not intend to keep you all guessing about the next stage of my experience, I was invited to a party at Ado Ekiti by a friend of mine who resides at Akure the Ondo state capital. Our journey took us all the way to Ekiti state (one of the newly created state, whose governor recently made headline on most pages of our nation's tabloid) to witness the grand opening of the pathfinderhotel and resort.
It was in deed a terrific experience, the journey from Akure to Ado was awesome the road was superb contrary to critics expression of dissatisfaction at the two governor's handling of road construction projects in the two states; we arrive the beautiful town at the top of the North scape along the university road tarmac carpet well laid out. It was hard to believe that this amazing beautiful town was once known as the hell hole of protesting petition strife academic intelligentsia's of the defunct old ondo state.
The pathfinderhotel resort is truly an amazing experience; set out on a vast lush of green landscape it's out of this world atmosphere, a walk along the well paved pathway are interesting plants that have special adaptation to thrive in the hot,steamy condition of our tropical environment. The hotel resort is designed with a state of the art Mexican American touch and exterior Roman archietecture which offer spacious apartments, beautiful landscape, and rock pool situated in the south corridor of the verges of the resort. Facilities include a restaurant, health club, billiards, video arcades ,mini-market, shopping mall, micro banking unit. The breathtaking terraces offer a variety of food and beverages and BBQ snacks ; a private car hire and pick up transport facility is also available from the resort. Take it from me the pathfinderhotel resort project of Dr Ayeni is an island plethora of activity set in the little transformed town now called ADOFLORIDA.

Hi my name is tony, a few months ago my family and i decided to return to Africa, after more than 25 years of fantastic and event full sojourn in Britain and America; two of some of the world's most elegant and sort after economies. It was for me a daunting and very challenging step in deed, especially leaving a society so organised, orderly, where daily living is so much thought out,for a continent where life is still in close proximity with mother nature's unspoilt green yard. Yes ! in deed it was, for me a very big dilemma as for my wife a discernible splendid move, one which the children were very diffident about but after many sortie holidays around the continent they soon got to like the view.

As the days fly by, so is the task of convincing myself becomes very difficult in deed especially when I visualise the dream, expectation and vision expression of life on my families faces translated into the physical financial budget in my pocket the reality beclouded me. However, after a self consulted conscience decision; finally i said to my loving and ever supportive wife"on the 09232006 we are going to Africa after all" then the real task of emigration processes then began. Moving from Britain to America was a child's play compared to coming to Africa Nigeria to be precise, foraging through the many pages of newspapers, journals, and wherewithal information provided by friends; there were no compelling reason to believe without a shadow of doubt that nation was in deed Africa's pot of gold....
