In which I describe the beekeeping situation in Nigeria, as well as go off on a bit of a tangent about what's happened since the Boko Haram fell out of the news.Also sorry for the long delay in posting, This was up on another site but I had forgotten about this one ... which seems to actually get more hits so I'll pay more attention to timely posting here!
There were a few more stories about Nigeria I wanted to tell before moving on, plus a travel secret!
In which I finish the cliffhanger from last week (what is the disaster that befell the other team??), shamelessly tell an anecdote about going to the bathroom, have audio from all three of the young men I worked with, and regretfully left the word "yam" out of the description of amala (its yam dough) but it was too much trouble to reinsert the yam.
In which multiple bombs go off, there's a plane crash, a car crash, ritual scarification, a random pirate ship, and an exciting cliffhanger!
