^^It is quite possible he doesn't own a car at all. He may have had "friends" drive him so far and then jumped on public transport or he has been going by public transport the whole time. If the later is true could explain why it has taken him so long to respond in the past.

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 1:23 pm

I think he has been on public transport the entire time. He doesn't know how to drive he said. It took him about 4 days to get from Dakar to Naimey. I have a read notify tracking on him. he hasn't emailed me since Sunday. He was supposed to be moving on Monday. I suspect he has, as he has not checked his email yet, according to read notify.

Tomorrow will mark 3 weeks of his journey. Twisted Evil

This is my longest (time) safari to date and he is not even close to being there. And then he has to get back home. BWHAHAHAHA! This will end up being a 6 week safari or so. Maybe not quite as physically brutal as the Egypt one, the weather is a bit nicer, but mentally this is going to be killer. Riding on a bus all that way, thinking of your fortune. But then, the bus ride back. How terrible would it be to just sit on a bus for weeks on your fruitless journey home, your wrath just burning?

Wonderful news Jojo. I was hoping he caught a ride from "friends" because that would just put him further in debt. So I guess it was just more wishful thinking. His poor little mugu mind will be so reeling on the ride home, that is worth it all right there.

The best part is yet to come too. Wait until he starts walking up the mountain.

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 1:50 pm

^^^Surely he will be smart enough to take a tour bus, I know this is a moron we are talking about but he is lazy.

@Jojo - You need to convince him to go up there after hours. That way no tour bus, it is dark, and I am going to guess highly illegal, probably be suspected of poaching.

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 2:09 pm

There is no tour bus. There are paths though. He is going to be forced to walk.

Posted: Wed Aug 01, 2007 2:11 pm

nice well I am sure he needs the exercise it can't be good sitting in front of a computer all day...wait that is what I do.... Laughing

There are tours that go to the NP, but these are VERY expensive.

Treking around on foot will only be permissable during daylight hours and with a qualified guide.

On foot alone and after dark he runs the risk of coming face to face with Leopard, Elephant and Buffalo.
Plus if the NP rangers discover him, they have the legal authority to shoot him on sight.

It is for the mugu of the receiving end... Laughing

The trick with this mugu is going to be not burning him when it all goes to hell. That way, we can experience the safari back home too!! Very Happy

Anyone want to have a shot where that is? It says Nigeria, but this looks like maybe another satellite? Any help guys? Doesn't make sense to go to Cameroon to Nigeria, but with his route, maybe. Confused

Also, BW- check the gmail box for an important email. I need you to look at something for me.

It is a satellite provider based out of Nigeria.

http://www.netcomafrica.com/products.php

So the actual satellite dish and modem could be set up almost anywhere in Africa. I would say good bet that he is still on his way.

Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2007 6:24 pm

Well, he is not from Nigeria, so even if he was there, he would still be out of his homeland.

Here is the explanation:

Quote:

Yeah all is well brother, but their is a little problem right away. brother am still in camerroon.As i told you ealier, as soon as i left camerron i will get to nairobi direct,but due to the flight faire is too expencive so am shortage of money, therefore i have sent for money so am waiting to recieve the money from here coz all the informetion that i need has been obtain from the cameroon authority, now i am only waiting to recieve money to get the ticket then i will depart as soon as possible.So plz brother just exices patients as soon as i recieve the money i will complete my jorney soonest.
atleast by next week all will come to pass Isha Allah.
So how are you doing, am very sorry that you did not hear from me all these days, i went to acquire some vital informetion from here.
at least every thing is still in progress, therefore i will update you every arrangement as soon as possible alright.
So plz once more bear with me ,it`s just becuase of the very disapointment that the air senegal has given me, if not i could have being there for long time.
However am still doing my very best to get this trip successfull.
So don`t forget to resend the map for me coz immediately i recieved the money i will get my flight tiket to nairobi straight rather than going to congo.
thanks
urs brother
xristopher.
bye

Even though this is a slight delay, it is a good thing. Imagine the frustration. Yesterday marked 3 weeks! And he is out of money already. He hasn't even gotten there?!?!?! BWHAHAHAAH! I love that. Hopefully he will only buy a one way plane ticket. That would be hilarious. Whoever he is borrowing money from is going to want to kill him!

I wrote this:

Quote:

I am patient brother. I understand that these times can be trying, so I wait for Allah to bless us as we turn our wrath on these greedy Americans. I hope that the ticket comes quickly. How much is it? You should probably just get a one way, as it will be much cheaper. You will have enough money to fly home first class in style my friend. A life of luxury awaits us both!

Brother, where are you staying? Are your food needs and everything being taken care of?

Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2007 6:52 pm

This is awesome! The sheer length of this safari (time that is) is quite amazing.

Jojo...I sent you a reply back via email. More good news Wink

Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2007 7:46 pm

JoJo & Co. is there any possibility that you could weave into the plot the necessity for your mugu to carry a few "passwords" on him when he arrives in Kenya..?

I am trying to call in a favour from an old contact in Kenya, that will give you an option for an unpleasant twist in the tale... Twisted Evil

Posted: Fri Aug 03, 2007 7:56 pm

Most mugus don't run out of money until after they reach the destination. . ....JJ, BW, & YW, my hat is off to you (again).

Even the airline is cooperating with the bait. Awwwwwww..... Laughing

Well, we have reason to believe he is in Lagos now. Just got in some new IP information. He is originally from Lagos (before he moved to Senegal) so I believe he has just gone there to get some money. So, to recap, we believe he went from Senegal to Niger to Cameroon to Nigeria. He is definitely taking a different route than mose, but that just makes for a better safari.

Quote:

Really luxury life awaiting for both of us sure, brother just one more step every thing will be over ok...... offcause this time can be trying since am making every arrangement to get there quickly. brother we shall soon turn our wrath on these greedy Americans offcause. Evil or Very Mad

well the ticket is almost a thousand dollars from here,but that will be no problem for me since i have a source to get the money soon, i have mail my elder brother in nigeria to send that amount for me here in cameroon and he promise to do that soonest, so let`s hope for the best to come atleast by next week.

Yeah as soon as i get the money i will just get one way ticket coz i knew immediately i get there i can equaly get fisrt class flight to nigeria. (I don't know if I have ever heard better news while a lad is on safari!!!)
right now i stay in hotel and as well all i need is within the hotel care, so don`t worry about that am ok.
Brother really i never take a sigle snap for you to see but don`t border about that you will soon see all in details coz taken pictures are not the matter but to get there succesful that is my worries at the moment, therefore patient once more you will see every thing with your naked eye ok.
plz don`t forget to get the map for me qs i get prepared to take off .
i will update you my arrangement once i get the informetion from my brother alright.
regards
xristopher.

EDIT: Another one just in, with a nice update:
