I confess, I'm not very good at getting my lads on safari. I've tried numerous times without success. But I've finally succeeded, as proven by initial IP's in Nigeria followed by ending IP's in Ghana. My baiting character is petrified of flying, and therefore refused to fly to Nigeria, the site of a recent 737 crash. He even quoted to the lad, Dr. Mrs. Eni Tony, an expert opinion that Nigeria had a dismal flight safety record. But my character agreed to fly to Accra if the lad would arrive there first and email my character in Frankfurt to confirm there had been no air crashes. To my surprise, the lad accepted. The emails follow. I can FINALLY claim a safari hat! BTW, I asked the lad to place the codeword "safari" in his subject line. As I write this, I am "enroute" by air, Frankfurt to Accra. I've inspected the Accra airport on Google Earth, and will have to work out a good excuse for not meeting the lad. I think I may be hijacked by another lad posing as Dr. Mrs. Eni Tony.

Dear xxxxxx,

I was at the airport yesterday to board Virgin Nigeria to Ghana, as luck would have it, I missed that flight. The next option was to come by road, extremely streneous I must confess.

Nigeria to Ghana is 9-hours drive, no any short cut to that. I got to Seme boarder, a boader between Nigeria Benin Republic at exactly 3;50pm. I waited till 4.pm because of our telephone agreement with you. It was so painfull that I couldn't get you on phone but an answering machine, it nearly demoralised me but I summoned courage to continue the journey. But I believe you must have heard my message on the answering machine. I arrived Ghana 12am(midnight). 1am Nigerian time.

Upon your arrival today, call this telephone number 0276914520. All modalities shall commence thereafter.

I will do all possible effort to get the security vault on standby for the programm. You have a wonderful stop-over and wishing you safe flight to Ghana. My delegate is at hand to pick you at the airport. BUT JUST MAKE THE CALL TO THIS TELEPHONE NUMBER.

N:B: I HAVE SENT MY PICS, FORGOTTEN TO ADDRESS IT AS "SAFARI", IT WAS TITLED MY PICS.

Thanks Eni Tony

Please kindly call me from Frankfrt during your transit on telephone +233 2769 14520.

I will be happy to hear from you.

Thanks
Eni Tony

Edit: I have called the lad "from the plane" using my anonymous cell phone. To my surprise, it was a female voice, in keeping with the piccy he sent. We had a nice chat, and his "driver" will meet me in the arrivals hall with a sign. I've also sent him two emails from my WIFI laptop on the plane (?), and he's responded. It should be a jolly visit.

Ironically, I screwed up, and my Lufthansa flight 564 makes an intermediate stop at Lagos before proceeding to Accra. Very Happy

Edit 2: May as well use it. My character, confused by alcohol, will disembark at the Lagos airport, thinking it's the Accra airport. Too late, he will realize his mistake and email the lad in Accra to come pick him up. Meanwhile I'll have to work on a reason he won't be there when/if the lad does show up.
