Well the Nigerians understand my rooitaal.

Just had a very odd conversation with someone I thought I knew qute well who is now in Lagos. I haven't seen her for 20 years but she was brought up in leafy Bucks etc.

Anyway, she is now quite senior in an organisation that I want to work with so gave her shout on Skype messenger thingy. Suggested we have a chat to see if there is anywhere we might work together and she immediately starts saying that this would be business she would do away from her full time job and she is terribly busy.

I said I didn't want to emply her just work with the company.

Yes, she replied, but a lot of Nigerians do extra work away from their jobs..... (her .....)

Was a bit shocked to be honest, although probably shouldn't be.

Helping to facilitate the transfer of NINE MILLION DOLLARS from the estate of the late minister of finance to some helpful chap in London who has kindly agreed to use his bank account to achieve this for 20% commission.

Maybe I am confused, was this side work going to be done on her back?

The point is it wasn't meant to be side work, it was meant to be work with her employer.

Ek implementeer SAP stelsels vir hulle (Asset Management & Investment Management), help om hulle brood produksie effektief te bestuur en op SAP te kry.

Ek het retire maar dit was n vokop, stilsit aanpassing was te groot nou gebruik hulle my as konsultant.

Baking bread..... management systems.

Get Sards to build them the ovens. Sell them some assets.
Make a few bucks on the side, Nigerian style.

Hy kan seker maar bietjie opgradeer ...

Ek dink Nigerië behoort 'n paar lekker transaksies te hê. Veral in tegnologie.

Will be back in Lagos for a month from sunday.

Enjoy.

But drink your prophylactics ...

Stay safe boet.

Maybe I can ask you to take a parcel home, for my neighbouring hairdresser (Nigerian woman, tall as a building, heart of gold, loud as shit. Wife loves her ... )

anytime. They are passionate people.

This week was very interesting. This place is a soccer mad country. It remind me when SA host the WC when everyone knows and talk soccer.

Nigeria play Iceland in a few hours , maybe the right time to leave for the airport and get through doeane before the match ends.

Oom you must never offer to take a parcel anywhere for a Nigerian. Especially one who owns a hairdresser.

I'd imagine Lagos is going wild right now. Unfortunately, they never won a World Cup game whilst I was there

Sitting in the Heineken pub waiting for my flight. The vibe is awesome. The roads were clear, tNever been this quick through all the red tape.

Back in Lagos. No Shark supporters. No RWC.

I thought that they were the most supported and recognised team outside of South Africa?

They are. But their fan base is more in Abuja where I understand they have a vibrant supporters club.

All those complaining about SA should visit Lagos.

If you would kindly send me the fare I will pay you back double when I arrive and can release my inheritance
