April, 2012: Lagos, Nigeria to Frankfurt, Germany



On the way to the airport, my driver for the last few weeks in Lagos, Tony, told me he would like to invite me to his house the next time I am in Nigeria. His wife and kids would like to meet me. Sounds good. But I told him, I might not be back anytime soon.

I guess I have had enough of Nigeria.....for the time being.

A family man and a Jehovah Witness, it was always good conversation with Tony in the cars on our way between the hotel and the office.

It was the same on this trip out of the city on this road leading to the airport.

What both of us would not have guess is that about a month later, a Macdonell Douglas plane would crash near the airport, killing everyone on the plane.

 Luckily, my flight out to Frankfurt was rather more uneventful.
And I wouldn't have  like it any other way.
