Africa: A Western journalist experiencing Africa

Categories: Sub-Saharan Africa, Nigeria, Togo, Travel

Arjen Westra writes about his experiences in Togo and Nigeria: [1] “My first visit to Nigeria years ago, I did not get the AK47 roadblocks every 200 meters that people prepared me for. I neglected the advice of friends (who had never been to Africa), asking me if a story is worth my life. I went and I met a crazy country, but not the roadblocks.”
