I thought that was a strange move on his part. Why didn't he agree to have my luggage, with all his money and watches and my laptop and camera, delivered to him while I am stranded a couple hundred miles away?

Delurking for a wild speculation:
He would have to give a real address, either his own or of a person close enough to him so he can trust him or her. And then this person's address would be on the records of the airline. Might be too risky for him.

Enjoying your skill and humour and going back under my rock!

How did I miss this?? Great safari again NWM! This is one of the rare cases I feel a little sorry for a lad. His wife is going to kick his ass like no mans business.

So, here is the latest.

Paul to Ch1byke:

Quote:

they say they are going to leave me at the Gombe Railway Station. They have agreed to leave me my camera and my laptop. they are taking everything else unless you get up here.

what should I tell them. where are you now? i am scared.

Ch1byke emails me telling him to call him. I don't. I want him to wonder what is happening to me for a day or so. Then this just came in:

Ch1byke to Paul:

Quote:

Hello Mr. Paul am now in Lagos my wife flee down to Abuja yesterday based on what was happing she was not happy with me when she call me I told her all that was happing to me .I told her to come with some money which she sold my car to raise money to pay for her flight ticket and my Hotel bills and other expenses. So right now am in Lagos, but I email your nephew Mr. Art that you were kidnap taking to gombe state that for now I don’t have any dim with me. I wrote him yesterday if only he can send some money for me to come down to gombe state because I have not been there before. He did not response to that mail up till now

Secondly if I tells my wife again that I want to go to gombe she will not agreed based on what I have pass through in Abuja , so if you really want me to come to gombe you have to call your wife to send me some money for my transportation fee and hotel accommodation. Because my wife will never agreed to release any money to me for any traveling or hotel accommodation.

If you call your wife she agreed to send some money I will surely come down to gombe state to pick you up and bring you to Lagos where I leave I told you earlier that I don’t leave in Abuja you made me to come to Abuja. Meanwhile I know my wife will never be happy to hear that am going to gombe because of this transaction again. But I will take care of her, just tell your wife to call me so I will forward the name she will use to make the payment.

Once you get this mail do call me and explain some thing for me.

Mr. Paul I really want to help you but I don’t have any money with me.

Thanks.

One love

Ch1byke.

He seems a bit worried about his wife, eh?

I am going to call late tonight (tomorrow morning Nigeria time) and see what happens.

I'll just ignore him for now. I don't want him to think there is any possibility of getting a WU from Art.

This is better than the movie I watched last night.

I wonder how much all this is costing our Ramblin' Man?

Is that a lad euphemism for "She snatched me bald!"?

Dammit! The one thing I am trying to do--talk to Ch1bykes wife--is the one thing I haven't been able to do. Here are a couple of phone calls.

11/23
Ch1byke gives me some instructions:

11/23 Later, I try to call when his wife gets back. He puts me on the phone with his 'manager' who apparently went on the safari with him:

11/24 11pm. I try to get Ch1bykes wife on the phone again.

http://www.4shared.com/audio/voch69sy/instructions1124.html

I've said this before, to Ch1bykes credit he sounds genuinely worried about my safety. He is not one of the lads that would slit your throat as soon as look at you.

This certainly doesn't justify his being a thief...I'm just saying.

Oh! and happy Turkey day! Eat, drink, drink, and wake up in the morning wondering why you feel like you should apologize to people (Oh,wait! that was my Thanksgiving last year).

Seriously, enjoy!

Am waiting to hear from you today.

One love

Chibyke.

I have some ideas about how to get the Mrs. on the phone. If you don't have any luck, let me know. Smile

I've tried 4 times now to get her on the phone. Suddenly she is a ghost. Yeah, Cuervo, if you have any ideas pass them my way.

Too bad. She really needs to know that this debacle is not your fault, but her husband's.

So, for those of you that remember this safari, you'll remember what a fire cracker Ch1byke's wife was.

I have always felt that this safari will never be complete until I get her on the phone wailing away about the injustice that has been done to the Ch1byke family.

Well, it's been a couple of months, thought I'd try again:

NWM,

Wowow! That call was amazing, lol!

I could only understand bits and pieces of what they were saying, but, how intense was that!

If only you could speak to his wife. Perhaps another call in a month's time requesting a chat with his wife again?

Very Happy

He was demanding compensation.
Recovery bait. Very Happy

I forgot all about Chi and Iyke. That's a lot of frustration. Laughing

I closed the Art Vandelay addy, so I've lost all contact with the crew. I guess I should at least let them know that we lost the court case and Diddy sends his regards. Twisted Evil
