[Michael has never visited Nigeria,
and he’s long been fascinated by its story,
cultures and significance within
the African continent. Experiencing
what life is like in this dynamic country,
through the voices, opinions
and experiences of Nigerians from
all walks of life,
he finds a place where optimism can
rule in the face of adversity,
where world history casts a shadow,
and where the modern world and
contemporary Africa’s dilemma of wealth
and poverty are found side by side.
For Michael, the so called
‘Giant of Africa’ is a story that reflects
our contemporary world in so many ways,
and his journey explores how Nigerians
and their country face the many
challenges of now,
and the legacies of the past.]

Ugh, Nigeria. A country with so much richness and points of fascination but so misunderstood.

The roads are very dangerous at the minute. Not necessarily because of potholes and bad structure (although that doesn't help) but the risk of kidnapping along the way. You want to go to Abuja from Enugu, Awka, Port Harcourt or Lagos, you're best getting an intra-national flight. There's no guarantee you'll make it to Abuja in one piece by road at the moment. Risk of kidnapping is just too high.

Making it to Abuja
