Can`t you cal travelling abroad also an adventure?

I mean , all the black peepz i know have traveled from country to country while my own Dutch peepz prefer staying in their own country

Did you know that i`m the first person in my family who traveled to Africa and 6 other country`s?

Travelling is also quitte an adventure and i prefer travelling and meeting other people over skiing and bungee jumping . I prefer gaining knowledge and that`s what you gain from traveling abroad!

It just occured to me, supposing you go balooning in Lagos and hang for Nepa pole? Or you sky dive land in area-boy territory.

I don't know why, but i derfinitely feel we are less inclined to engage in such activities - maybe becos like Cellular talk, life for Black man in itself na epic adventure.

Most blacks don't travel abroad for mere adventure. Its either we are seeking something like educational qualification or just plane money, better life etc. One thing i have noticed is, it you tell a black man there is spirit somewhere, he will run away. But tell the same to a white man, he will draw nearer to try and investigate.

I think it's a misconception.

Everytime my neighbor goes to F-street or Hustler to get his daily intake of biologically educational videos he sees a lot of black people buying not only movies but all kind of RELATED TOOLS. In fact he told me that the "viewing and liberating" room in the back is dominated by African-Americans.

I could be wrong but that's what my neighbor told me.

This reminds me of a joke one of our lecturers in Lagos once told us.
He said if you tell an Oyibo man: "Mr Prescot, I'm afraid you have cancer", he will reply "Oh dear. Why is this happening to me? There must be a cause doctor"

Say the same thing to 'Mr Esubiojo', and he will reply "Oh God. Who is doing this to me! What have I done to them?"

Obviously, the lines of enquiry shoot off in two opposite directions. No plaudits for guessing which of them comes up with results.
