Hi Chinelo,

I'm not Nigerian nor am I in Alabama but I do know how you're feeling. I've been in Washington state for almost three months and I'm in the same boat, bored to tears and wanting to make friends. I decided to be proactive and did two things. One I joined a church up the street. If that isn't your thing, the second thing I did was make a MySpace page and I then did a browse for married women (with kids in my case) between a certain age range within 10 miles of my zip code. I sent them friend requests and did a brief introduction of why I was there. Some responded, some didn't. So far after about a week or two I've made arrangements to meet with two women in my community. I don't know if this is of any help but maybe it will steer you in the right direction. I think most of us transplants feel the same for the first while. Hope things go well and you meet some really nice people. Take care and best wishes...Kim
