ADEREMI'S NOTEBOOK

— Jag shares five things to do in NW9 and London town. “You can experience the best view in the whole of London from the very front of the top deck of the Route 79 bus.” (2)

— Found this photo on flickr; what the Lagos-Ibadan expressway used to look like in 1973. On a heavier note, Total, the oil company is now a caterer (tagline: fuel in ur tank, food in ur belle…) #

— Blog and win a year daily commute on the National Rail, London Underground not covered. (via AM) #

— Satellite pictures of Kano can now be viewed on Google maps. Lagos and Abuja not yet available [via MapNigeria] #

London Underground renamed (0)

Imagine if the London Underground was renamed after multinational corporate sponsors. Some impressive ones; Google Street, Ladbrokes Grove and Seven Up Sisters.

Hang on! This idea could really work. With the 2012 Olympics coming, Gordon Brown probably needs about £250 million (a wild guess) per sponsor to authorise the name change for a particular station (with the contract expiring in 2013).

My consulting fee is only 0.01% of the first two sponsors’ transactions.

— The Economist Guide to Lagos, I didn’t know Oyibo also meant “he who looks as though he’s been stung by a bee”(via Jeremy). #

— Route79’s theory of relative transport states that people who ride London’s buses are more intelligent than those who ride the tube. #

— The photos from my trip to Lagos are finally online on flickr. I attended a big wedding plus other interesting engagements. I lost my camera bag briefly (which I later found), this however dampened my euthusiasm for taking pictures towards the end of my stay. #
