In Lagos – 2

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

I was very uncomfortable with this way of transportation. This is a not-so-cool way to move around in this city. In my view it only draws more attention and creates more distance. At one point, a busdriver that didn’t move aside quickly enough was threathened by the armed guy right on the streets…. Luckily Esther was able to persuade these men to turn off their sirens the 2nd day.

In Lagos -1

Thursday, December 14th, 2006

Tuesday, Esther and I arrived in Lagos by air from Abuja. We were in the same plane as LL Cool J and his entourage… The arrival at the airport went smoothly, we were picked up by people from WAMCO company (producer of Peak Milk and Three Crowns Dairy products). Our car was accompanied by a security car with 3 people, one armed, and blasting sirens, assigned to us by WAMCO, who had arranged all.
