wahala means craziness in nigierian.
perfect word for today.

another awesome word is ekobu, which means dimple in japanese.
not the word of the day but definetely describes me at my cutest.

ok i'm stretching it, but come on, it's been a lousy day.

Sorry for your bad day. Had a perfectly lame day here. No wahala, just boring. Woke up early to see a friend off, then fell asleep again. Didn't get up until after noon. Kai! I dey very lazy. My greatest accomplishment today was cutting and ironing a pair of pants and taking them to the market to get them stiched up. The man who hemmed my pants used what we in the West would refer to as an 'antique' sewing machine, the sort my great grandmother might have used. I suppose that they are better in some ways as they don't require power to work and, in a country where power is inconsistent in many areas, that can be very useful.

Anyhow, I hope things have improved since this post.

[Oh, don't scowl, but 'wahala' is a Nigerian Pidgin English term. Nigeria has at least 3 main languages (Yoruba, Hausa, Igbo) and hundreds of regional and local dialects, so saying it's nigerian could lead to some confusion. I know, I know, I'm picky and annoying, but you must know that you still love me!]
