Run the name of the University thru Google, along with one of your concerns.
Like I found that page by running University of Ibadan along with 'unrest'
thru the engine. If you just run the University's name you get only good
stuff.

I've been asked to teach a class in Nigeria for a week or two at the end
of May (at University of Ibadan). Not sure if I should accept the offer
or not. All expenses paid, that isn't the problem. But, if you read
what the US State department says (about any country that isn't the US),
you get the distinct impression that you should stay home and stockpile
duct tape and plastic. I already have plenty of those items, although I
never considered them anti-terror weapons...

So, although I'm always happy to travel on somebody else's dollar, I'm a
little concerned about getting back. Anybody have any thoughts on
travel to Nigeria, and/or west Africa in general? And, to keep it on
target, what kind of orchids am I looking for there, anyway? *grin*

more orchids, obtain more credit
