Day Three: Hotel Living

Most of the day was spent at the hotel, which is a bizarre compound of its own. It is walled off and protected on all sides, with one main gated entrance and is seemingly self sufficient. There are about 5 different restaurants, a casino, bars, night club, shopping mall, swimming pool and lots of business people. Everyone is extremely friendly and dressed so beautifully. The woman wear very form fitted colorful traditional matching tops and long skirts (I need to get some good pictures of this to show) and the men are either dressed in suits or are Muslim men dressed in linen pants with long matching shirts (again need to get some pictures).

We were unable to leave the compound, as I have come to call it, this day, but as I was feeling really sick still I was able to rest.

We had a great dinner and afterward met with Linus, the man running the program, and Stephanie, the woman running the program who also happens to be one of the top Nollywood Film actresses, I hope to watch one of her films soon....We were told we would hopefully start setting up the program the next day, as long as our equipment went through customs...

I got a very full and much needed nights sleep for the first time in a few days!
