MY 042 MARATHON


OTIGBA JUNCTION MONUMENT

Hello everyone,
I hope everyone's doing great? How has the new week treated you so far? I hope its been fair at least. My week started off good and I'm trying to enjoy it as much as i can. Nothing dramatic has happened and i pray it stays that way.

Today, I'll be sharing photos from an experience I tag "my 042 marathon". I'm sure some of you might be wondering what 042 means and what kind of marathon it is. lol. Don't freak out yet, let me explain. 042 is the phone code for Enugu state in Nigeria. Its the state I had my University education in, one that I have come to fall in love with. Enugu state is located in the eastern part of Nigeria and is occupied by the Igbo tribe. Over the years, this 042 phone code turned into a nick/code name for Enugu state.

As for the marathon part, that came about because on one beautiful day, after church, i decided to take a walk round the beautiful city taking as many interesting pictures as my heels let me. Traffic was scanty and the roads practically cleared, the weather was beautiful, I was in a giddy mood and a lady I met at the mall said she loved my outfit. whoop! whoop! It was an amazing experience.



I intend to take more lovely pictures later but i hope you enjoy looking at the ones I have here. More pictures after this paragraph:

    Thank you so much, Obi I'm glad I was able to revive your love for the town. As for the money making part, people's destinies are different. Don't forget that many have made it big here too.

    Hahaha Thanks, Chinel. Highest paid blogger is a huge title and I pray it comes to pass *wide grin*. As for who took the photographs I was in, the photographer would prefer to remain anonymous. Lol
