(no subject)
just over 22 years ago I worked in Africa, in Mozambique.
A month ago I was asked if I could go to Nigeria for a week for a project.
After delays and paperwork and who knows what I arrived in Abuja on Tuesday morning with my colleague RC.
Abuja is the Capital of Nigeria and our client is based there so we had a day with them for orientation. The flight landed at 5am and a driver met us and took us to the Sheraton. We sat in the back while a security guy sat up front with the driver. It was only when we gaot to the hotel that I noticed he was carrying a machine gun.
Tuesday was a bit frustrating. RS, our contact, was chasing round trying to sort a dozen things and didn't have much time for us so we did get time to see a little of Abuja. It is beautiful. It's a new town. Wide roads run through it, past beautiful buildings spaced out with lush forest netween. Little round hills stick up in all over the place.
