RE: African infrastructure - The Infrastructure Service Delivery Path (Part 3 in a series)

in #africa8 years ago

Fun fact, since I see you're from Nigeria: I did 9/11 in Lagos. Was part of the team doing the initial restructuring of the electricity distributors for private sector participation, and our SAA flight was supposed to originate from JFK around 9:30 that morning, which it didn't...so the airline put me, my colleagues and a few others from our flight up at a place called the "Marriott" Hotel. I say "Marriott" in quotes, because it wasn't really a hotel, more like a converted residence. That was in the days when we still used landlines to communicate across the continent!

Wow, you're definitely a tourist. It must have really been a nice time for you. I'm glad to have seen your post.

How do you define tourist?

A person who travels to a place for pleasure or culture.

Then I've been a terrible tourist over the years unless we can agree that work can bring much pleasure and teach much about culture.🙃 I've been privileged to develop lasting friendships in the countries I've worked in, and I treasure those. 😊😊

That's really great. I wish I could tour Africa the way you did or even the World in general. But some factors would certainly influence that.
