Greetings from Nigeria!

Hi, this is what I saw this morning:

The surprising thing about this is that the tyres actually have treads, the truck has lights and the container stayed attached to the flatbed and didn't just topple off crushing a motorcycle taxi.

I'm a bit pished right now:

Hic. Burp. *falls off bar stool*

You'll see some sights in Nigeria. I worked near Port Harcourt for about 6 months a few years ago and was constantly amazed by some of the stuff I saw and the things the locals got up to

I spent a year and a half in Nigeria as when I was growing up, between the ages of 7 and 9. I loved it there. There were enormous numbers of car wrecks on the roadsides though. My siblings and I used to play a game on car journeys where we'd see who could count the most.

It didn't help that sometimes they'd get the camber on sharp corners wrong...

Look! I found our old houses on google's satellite imagery!

As long as Newcastle send their bank account details etc to make sure that the dosh gets deposited in the correct manner...

Ah the joys of Africa. When I lived in Kampala the train used to fall over sideways like that lorry on a fairly regular basis.

Is there anyone Left in Nigeria left to drive it?

I worked in 'dis Nigeriah' for 11 years and saw some amazing sights both on and off the roads and sights on aircraft that would cause you to never fly again! I left nearly 12 years ago and whilst I have some great memories of the place I have no wish to go back. Oyibo, oyibo,oyibo!

In Ghana now; it's much more disciplined, nobody drives along the pavements and the place looks like Africa should look.

...and pissed on Club premium lager this evening.
