10,9,8…… counting down to my next trip to Nigeria. The name of this blog is “Bature” (ba_t0ur_ey) which just means “european man” and is what the children sometimes shout at me when I wander around.

Hello,
You must often wander around the Northern parts of Nigeria then. Because if it were in the South it’s Oyinbo they’d be calling, lol.
I was curious when I saw the title of your blog. So you’re coming to Naija. Hope you have a safe trip.

That’s right, Bubbles. I have never been further south than Abuja, I’m afraid. Flying there next week and I hope to get some more things blogged in early Sept.
Call me Oyimbo if you like.

Knowing what it’s like to be pointed at and called ‘Negro’ when I lived in Malaysia I’ll just call you your Semper lol…
Looking forward to reading about your experience.

Evening Erik and Susan
I was pleased to catch up with your site, and the very informative content. It is very humbling to read how dedicated the people you are living amongst are. Their courage, endurance and faith gives me for one something to contemplate. Wonderful picture of ‘the First Lady of the Lighthouse’, glad you arrived safely Susan. Your presence is missed back at the Chapel. Connie and myself are having long chats on the phone. I think her husband Doug wonders what two women can talk about for so long. When I have been in attendance on Sunday evenings, I have noticed that Stewart and Mieke are doing a good job of keeping things going. Bye for now to you both – Madeleine
