I've just returned from the UK attending a conference at Oxford. It was my first time at the University, and it was great to meet new people, get advice on my work, and also see a bit of the city. Before coming back to Nigeria, I also spent the day in London. Though I've been there before, it was still nice to re-visit some sights and also do new things. Enjoy the pics below!<br />

HAPPY MARCH! I know it's been quite awhile since I last blogged. I promise all is well! I returned to Nigeria in mid-January and have been working, working, FIELD-WORKING!<br />
During the last 2 months I've visited family, moved to a new place in Abuja (where I am MUCH happier), and the National Assembly has become my second home. Below are pics covering the last two months. ENJOY!<br />

I'm headed to Kano tomorrow to interview members of the State House of Assembly. I already have some appointments set up, and I'm hoping to make even more.<br />
<br />
Overall, my research is going well. Its electioneering season here in Nigeria (elections are in April) so these legislators are TOUGH to track down. There's been a lot of canceled appointments, a lot of 3 hour waits only to find I can't meet with the legislator that day...a lot of come back tomorrow/try again next week. For example, there was one legislator who I waited to 3 hours to see, only to have him meet with EVERYONE ELSE waiting, and tell me to come back tomorrow. I've been texting him (yes, he gave me his personal cell #) and, for the life of me, I can't book a meeting with him.<br />
And on Friday, I waited two HOURS to meet with a legislator for two MINUTES. *SIGH*<br />
<br />
With that said, I've had a bit of success. If the legislators are in their offices and have 30 minutes to spare, they'll meet with me. They're curious about my work and why I want to talk to them...most are engaging and provide stories/examples.<br />
<br />
I've definitely learned the lessons of PATIENCE and PERSISTENCE. It's easy to get frustrated when it seems the PAs are giving me the run-around...but eventually they'll see that I'm a serious person and give me what I want :)<br />
<br />

And lucky for me, Amsterdam wasn't experiencing the same level of confusion (re winter weather) as London or Paris.<br />
<br />
So, as an early Christmas present to myself, I upgraded my Amsterdam-IAD flight to world business class....and it was AWESOME! Truly "AWESOME" doesn't begin to describe how great my experience was.<br />
<br />
For example, instead of spending my 8 hour layover in a cold seat at my gate, I got to go to the KLM Crown Lounge. Check out pics below!<br />

ALMOST missed my flight, and my bags were one of the last onboard (YIKES)! Good news: my bags will most likely be the first off!<p>Lagos was FANTASTIC! Loved working and getting to know my profs/ogas better...they're phenomenal! I count myself lucky that I could learn this research/fieldwork game at the feet of such masters. <p>I saw old friends, made new ones...visited my childhood home in Ibadan and travelled to somewhere new (Kaduna). All in all, a FAB two weeks!<p>Cheers! x<p><p>Olufunmbi M.
