I may be safely at home, but I can’t help but think of the new friends and new family that I have left behind… I am torn between joy to see the ones I love and agony for the suffering that is life in Nigeria.

I was fortunate to be spoiled on my trip; everyone went out of their way to make sure that I would never have any difficulties. Some places where I went I was treated like a rock star who could do no wrong. A special thanks goes to Francis, my brother and friend. Modestus, our driver extraordinaire who found ways to be there for me even on his days off. The Registrar, Peter, who worried about me and made sure I was looked after. Father Bosco, never wavering in his faith that good things were coming out of our work. To each of them and many more do I owe many thanks for making my adventure incredible. I wish that they will all be there to witness their country change.

At home my family and friends gave me tons of support, and everyone at work were encouraging. In some ways it felt like I had a guardian at home in Ben Agbonkhese; when ever I had any problems or wanted to meet new people he was there.

I was never alone while I was on the road. If there is any benefit or change that comes from my journey the people who got me there deserve the credit. I hope that for now they will accept my heartfelt thanks.
