Amazing Lefty thanks for that.
I like it when these things pop up on the board. It's not football, but it's not politics either. It highlights that this board can be really interesting for all sorts of reasons.

I was lucky enough to see plenty of it during my time in the navy.
I've been down the West Coast to Dakar (Senegal) / Freetown (Sierra Leon) / Abidjan (Ivory Coast). Although I must give Legos (Nigeria) a shout out as one of the worst places I've been.
I visited Tunisia and Egypt whilst transiting the Suez (although Cario was a 4 day jolly off the ship to see the pyramids). I have to say very underwhelming. Just people hassling you for sh*t ornaments and camel rides whilst dodging flying crisp packets and other rubbish.
Also visited Cape Town and Simons Town in South Africa. Good Times
I am maybe being harsh.... We weren't allowed off the bus and had a guy with an AK47 sat at the front. We could visit one hotel (again armed guards).What was so awful about Lagos?

So I'm just hazarding a guess. It didn't look great out of the windows. Then again the hotel was fine and most people in it were in the oil industry (I think). It was 2013 but definitely not somewhere I'd have as a holiday destination.
