ReplyDeleteSee all the sugar daddy names way dem put for there.
ReplyDeleteSo NRC is not enough? So what age group are they focused on? Are they counting on the kind of crowd NRC gets or they counting on working professionals? FYI, most NRC attendants are still in school 9ja folks with little money to burn. To Linda, if they are not paying your future over $1000.00 flight ticket to St Thomas, plz no make noise. We Naijas in America are invited too.
ReplyDeleteAnd finally, I tell these promoters, go promote the paradise your own country Naija.

Let this trip be among your bucket lists - things you'd like to do before you die....You will never regret it.
Good luck, be at peace with nature, enjoy the fun all the way and may the joy be with you.
