I just talked with the lads. they're in the bus on their way to Maiduguri and should be there by tomorrow morning. That will make it about 36 hours on a bus in total since they left Benin. They sounded a little tired already. I told them that Hamdan and I would be leaving Abeche very shortly so that we can be in N'Djamena by the time they arrive.

Just missed a call from the lads about two hours ago. They're in Maiduguri now (IP confirmed from e-mail). Maybe I should call them soon? Pith taken. Smile

You're sure clocking up those Mugu Miles Prof .

Can't get better than putting some high mileage on the lads Laughing

Personally Prof, the way you treat these poor, innocent lads, I think you're just taking the pith

Laughing

Keep up the good work Thumbs up

Prof, I think you should be getting the extra large pith helmet with devil horns and flames on it for these safari's. This is not some brand X casual "send-a-lad-on-a-bus-trip-to-a-neighboring-country-for-the-weekend" safari's! These are like, safari to the N'th power, cubed, extra large, custom, limited edition safaris, or something.

I am so impressed! Really well done! Thumbs up

Of course, they will haev to keep traveling to Abeche, since undoubtably you will have some problem or misfortune which prevents you from making it to N'Djamena, right?

Awesome work!

I was going to ask if there could be a "crutch" icon for getting your lad injured.
Prof deserves one for the "leg".
I have a stunt lad that got hit by a car on his bicycle. He was practicing his jumps when something went terribly wrong.. Regretably it wasn't caught on video.
But he did spend a long time recovering in bed! Twisted Evil

A safari that goes past the point of no return (meaning the mugu(s) will remain streded indefinitely until rescued) should be in a category all its own.

A helmet with a screw through it?

Reckon a purple helmet should be awarded here, in recognition that the lad (s) have been well & truely boned. Wink

I started reading this thread in the middle of last week. My colleagues think I am on something as I keep giggling and I have 2 reports I should have reviewed that are sitting unopened in my inbox. I also have a massive backlog of work that I should have done. I finally caught up with the thread (not the work) at 3:30 this morning. Nooooooo!

Now to go and read up a few tips before applying for a mentor.

Short of trying to convince the Prof to change his nickname to "One Way Feldman" perhaps they could consider putting up a little "one way" street sign icon behind the pith......?

You probably would detect something like that from me. I am in Florida. However, I am often mistaken fora northerner here because of my dialect.

Welcome to the newcomers! Thanks for reading the thread. I am so happy to see that this safari continues to cause mugu pain, but also gets new members in here.

On another note, I have a really bad sore throat today. I wish I was able to call Adamu and tell him about it.

On another note, Miracle is on his way, as Prof said:

Dear Mr.Eric,

We have just arrived Maiduguri. We left Lagos by 9.25am Friday and just arrived Maiduguri at 10am Satuday. With secured and insured transport company.

Now, we are about going further to Cameroun boder from where we connect to Chad boder. That means, we have to pass through two boders into NDjamena.

Our worries now is that we do not know exactly how much they will charge us for each bodders for stamping our visa entry.

Should incase we cross over, we shall be proceeding to; AGENCE RUE DE 40M, BP 87 NDJAMENA, Ndjamena, CHARI BAGUIRMI 235. We therefore want you to call us on Nigerian phone number which you are using to reach us but, if you cannot get us on the line, please know that we might have either cross over to one of the bodders, so you can locate us and send email to us.

However, if we get to the bodder and the balance money could not take us over, we shall wait at the Nigerian boder and ask you to come and pick us up between Nigeria and Cameroun Boder.

Thanks and God bless you.

Andrew Ezekiel and Miracle Charles Ndubuisi

Obviously, Hamdan and Eric will not be able to make it across those borders...

Sorry to be a nag, but what happened to that Bollywood contest thread Prof was talking about? Is it not online yet, or am I just looking the wrong places? Embarassed

Eressea - I'm holding off on starting the movie clip contest until Monday because it's only going to run for a few days, and there are more people online during the week.

Edit - This just in to Dover:

Quote:

We got your email but it's quite unfortunate because as it is now we stocked here in Kousseri a border town with Cameroun and Chad. We tought one of them could have cross over to pick us but that notwithstanding we are going to find means to cross over, but we will expect that anyone of them shall be around at the Western union Point tomorrow being sunday to clear our bill with the driver who offset our bills here with immigrations and his transport fees, so ask the person coming for us to have some money with when coming.More over you can ask Mr Eric to reach with this tel number +237xxxxxxxx from now till 7.00am tomorrow to confirm so that we can be assured to make the move to N'djamena tomorrow morning.

So as soon as the border opens by 7.30am we shall proceed to N'djamena to meet with the fellow.

Edit #2 - This just sent from Eric/Hamdan:

Quote:

Dear Andrew and Miracle,

We are making our way toward N'Djamena, but unfortunately we are having some issues with the vehicle. We ended up having to walk about 20 miles to a small town between Abeche and N'Djamena called Khach Khach. There is no mobile coverage in this area, and that is why I haven't been able to get in touch with you by phone. There is a very kind goat farmer here that is allowing us to spend the night, and there is a very helpful man that is going to take a look at the problem tomorrow and fix it for us. We should be back on the road tomorrow afternoon, so please make your way into N'Djamena immediately so we can meet with you without delay. I hope you both are enjoying your trip so far, and I will call you as soon as I possibly can. When you get into N'Djamena, please get a Chad phone number that I can reach you on so we can coordinate everything. All the best to you both.

Minor problem.

Regarding a new icon for this safari, how about:

Can't let that wonderful "NOOOOOOO" go unrecognized.

^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^ As a newb, I hope you don't mind if I make a wild speculation ... the helpful man at Khach Khach will need to get a spare part delivered. I would imagine that will cause all sorts of logistical problems.

What about calling Hamza to let him know that 2 Nigerian T.W.A.T. members are on the way to pay him for Adamu's taxi ride?

If you prime him in the right way you could have another barrier between the new T.W.A.T's and the old T.W.A.T's, and increase the difficulty for both sets of T.W.A.T's to leave.

I seem to remember at some point in this bait (quite early I think) that contact had been established with the Abeche police, could be wrong... too many drinks tonight Embarassed

. Not sure about how the communication set up would be there, but how about faxing "Wanted" posters with the faces of the new T.W.A.T's to the local police for fun and games on their arrival? Twisted Evil

This is an amazing bait! I eagerly look for updates, each day....

Yes. Either this or some other similar event will take place soon enough. The idea of sending that last e-mail was to maintain a little contact, and let them know we're on our way but a bit delayed. Once we confirm that they have crossed the Tchadian border, the next series of unfortunate events will occur. They left like ten voicemails yesterday. I think they're a tad nervous. Smile
