we went off in his new benz, perhaps worth the annual salaries of 15 school teachers. when we walk to the gar in the morning i consider how my networking skills have finally come into play. i can now return to the region to see african gray parrots and orphaned baboons, surrender the goat in exchange for ekwé membership, go to the chieftaincy ceremony, hitchhike to lagos, etc. the way back has many delays, but they all contain food. one is a bucket of bush meat and you select your piece with a porcupine quill, the other is fufu eru with pork and bar fish.
