One year in Nigeria: A night to remember
http://oneyearinnigeria.blogspot.com/2009/06/night-to-remember.html
One year in Nigeria. Tirsdag 16. juni 2009. A night to remember. The dinner went well, barbeque and happy kids. It started to get dark so we were lighting some candles. The wind started to increase in strength so we engineered a candle holder from an empty waterbottle. The kids lit some candle in and kept under the bar to protect them from the wind. We ended up three of us sleeping on two mattresses in the shower, and one on a mattress on the toalett. Legg inn en kommentar. Looking for good in Lagos.

One year in Nigeria: februar 2009

One year in Nigeria. Lørdag 28. februar 2009. Football (soccer for those far far west). Before we left for the game we had a short briefing with security coordinator. He informed us that we would have to bring a police escorts, two policemen. The would be discrete - and not draw any attention towards us. We would not need that being the only four white ones in the stadium area! We were also lucky that the assigned driver came with us to watch the match - so the pick-up after the game were easy. And the c...

One year in Nigeria: Wooden stools
http://oneyearinnigeria.blogspot.com/2009/05/wooden-stools.html
One year in Nigeria. Tirsdag 12. mai 2009. There are a lot of nice and special wooden artifacts and furniture here in Nigeria. Some more practical than others. So I must admit that I have stuck to the practical ones, the one I think I can use when we go back to Norway. I have found a really nice and gifted woodcarver (or truth be told - he found me) that are working on several objects for me. He made me a wooden bench with carvings, and so far he has delivered two wooden stools. Legg inn en kommentar.

One year in Nigeria: april 2009

One year in Nigeria. Torsdag 30. april 2009. Loosing luggage at the Lagos airport. Is not something you would wish upon your friends or relatives. I arrived yesterday as planned (not delayed! And everything went smooth, immigration, passport and Visa check. Then I went down to wait for the luggage. To my surprise suitcases had already began arriving. And my suitcase came. I just had to wait for my second and smaller suitcase to arrive. Don't KLM restrict its passangers to one carry-on item? For 3 år siden.

One year in Nigeria. Mandag 12. januar 2009. We arrived at the Clearwater lodges 28.12.2008. We spent two days at the Kudu lodge and three days at Thsethsepi lodge. Two good but different lodges. The Kudu lodge were on a large open savanne where Zebras, wildebeest and warthogs were plenty, and were we saw elephants and a jackal. The Thsethsepi lodge were at a stream with lots of shrubs and threes and we experienced baboons and monkeys and klippspringers. Søndag 11. januar 2009. Since we are living in Afr...

One year in Nigeria: Sofie has stomach pains
http://oneyearinnigeria.blogspot.com/2009/05/sofie-has-stomach-pains.html
One year in Nigeria. Mandag 11. mai 2009. Sofie has stomach pains. For the las weeks Sofie has suffered from "tummy ache". First (when I was travelling) the dad took her to the company doctor, to the hospital and they did some tests, gave her pencillin and pain killers and sent her home. That seemed to help for a few days. Then it all came back again, and friday I spend the day at the hospital with her. Could it be amoeba? Food poisining that do not result in vomiting or diarrhea?

One year in Nigeria: Tuesday night at the movies
http://oneyearinnigeria.blogspot.com/2009/05/tuesday-night-at-movies.html
One year in Nigeria. Tirsdag 12. mai 2009. Tuesday night at the movies. We were several people going to Silverbird movie theatre yesterday to watch the preview og Angels and deamons. But we were told that the film was cancelled. How can you announce a movie as a preview and then not show it? We kept pressuring the guy until he finally told us that they did not know where the movie was, and that they normally change programmes on Thursdays. What movie should we watch instead?

One year in Nigeria. Fredag 22. mai 2009. Visit to the woodcarvers shop. Yesterday we went visiting the woodcarvers workshop. There were woodcarving in all stages going on. Some just starting out, some ready carved and being sanded, while other projects were being finished and polished. In the workshop there were materials and half finnished projects everywhere. For me it looked. Like the total chaos, for them this were just the way things were done. Mandag 18. mai 2009. We left through one gate and came...
