September 28 the craziest story i've heardHello from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania! The other night at dinner, a friend of mine told this story about her friend, a young professional woman from Sierra Leone. This woman flew to the Lagos Nigeria airport and was standing around, waiting for her bags (or something). She noticed a man shouting and pointing at her, but she ignored him and he stopped. Shortly thereafter, another man approached her and said, Let's go! She resisted, he grabbed her arm and said, "I paid $300 for you, let's go!" The shouting-pointing man had claimed to be her "manager" and had sold her "company" for $300 (and then had disappeared). Then the client refused to let her go, as he'd spent $300, until he got his money back (which neither she nor anyone in the room had). Finally, word got to her driver and he came in and gave the man a small payment and the woman got to her destination safely.
I'm very much looking forward to flying through the Lagos airport tomorrow, but I'm not planning on standing in one place for long. TrackbacksWeblogs that reference this entry
