I'm in Abuja.

It's bloody hot. And overrated. And I'm not coming back. Oh, yeah, I had to come here to keep an appointment with the US embassy for my visa application (I got the visa, btw) because all dates for March and April were booked in Lagos. Srsly, what gives? So I'll be attending the 2008 TopCoder Open which holds in May (not as a finalist, though, as I didn't make it to the top 12).In other news, I had a rather interesting conversation with someone which I thought was pretty funny and had to share (name changed to protect identity, obviously). Of course, I am me.
[me] Well, it's not every day you meet Nigerian men.
[me] Obviously.
[B] lol, you'd be pretty surprised.
[me] I see.
[B] I actually had brunch with one today
[me] Well, it's not every day that you meet Nigerian men like me.
[me] Winnar.
[B] And I meet one basically every day in London
[me] Oh yeah
[me] London's full of 'em.
[B] Yeh
[B] I simply adore when they come up to me
[B] Asking if I want them to take care of me
[me] lol
[me] I don't do that.
[me] That's..
[me] ugh
[B] Fuck no I don't want any strange man taking care of me.
[me] Srsly
[me] What sort of person uses that sort of pickup line?
[B] They're totally serious, too
[B] "You look nice. I want to take care of you."
[me] lol
[B] They make "nice" sound like a dirty thing.
[me] hahahaha
[B] They want to take me home and feed me
[B] One actually said so
[B] Seriously, if that's how you learn to court in Nigeria...
[me] ...
[me] Don't look at me.
[me] I don't do any of that.
[B] Am I talking to any other Nigerian here?!
[me] Depends.
[me] Am I one person or two?
[B] -_-
[B] Don't even start with me.
[me] o rly
[B] ya rly.
[me] no wai!
[B] I will hit you, don't think I won't.
Quite a reputation we have. I'm thrilled! And one other thing...
Dear Internet,
Why is Nigeria not on the list of available countries when I want to purchase a product online?
Kthxbi.
