After getting my gold lad from Ghana into Togo here:
http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=1724829&highlight=#1724829

I'm 99% sure he's now in Benin. Very Happy

Laddos IP has changed from using a Togolese one over the past few weeks to a new shiny Globocom one.
[41.203.79.249]
Globacom is a Nigerian company but they operate in Benin.

For a fortnight now has been refusing to move from Lome and moaning to my main character for some $$$ to make the journey to Pobe near the Benin/Nigerian border - this where my kidnappers were hiding out Wink

So as Mohammed wouldn't go to the Mountain, I moved my kidnap situation to West Benin, a town called Alpahoue, and that seems to have done the trick.

Interestingly, Laddo made an odd reference here (Bold is mine):

Thanks , as we wait to meet you.

I know that lads lie, but this email was to someone who believes is another lad.
Sold his shoes to raise funds for the trip?
Oh, I do hope so!! Very Happy

He's also made a mention of selling his phone (although I don't believe that one....)

Happy Days.

Never have a direct flight to Ladland; a layover on a flight allows the introduction of "The Wrong Plane modality")

^^^ From the linked page about this Safari. Thanks. This is a simple but brilliant idea; I'd been wondering how to explain arriving at a different airport.

Glad to help. Good luck using it Wink

It might also be an idea to have your character have a dislike of the nationality of the airport. e.g. A Spanish airport; once had a bad holiday/dodgy paella!
This gives the opportunity for your character to upset the staff of said airport so they don't help him get the correct plane....
... or even deliberately put him on the wrong plane! Very Happy

This can be a good background as some lads are clued in on aircraft transfers and so have a hard time believing the mistake - most lads will accept it though. Wink
