Apologies for the lack of updates … I shall blame it in the lack of internet access, though I am also partly to blame for enjoying being offline for a little while. It helps me enjoy the moment and be more aware of all that’s happening around me.
One of our project sponsors offered to arrange a boat ride to Akwa Ibom for the day and the whole IBM team (minus Jenni unfortunately as she wasn’t feeling well) jumped on a police boat at the Calabar marina.
We mingled with the rich and famous as we were accompanied by a few VIPs on jetskis and speedboats … quite exhilarating as we picked up speed and rain hit us hard, though it seemed a bit out of place as we zigzagged through a pristine jungle speckled with fishermen huts.
Akwa Ibom is the neighbouring state to the south west of Cross River, it was hard to tell its level of economic development compared to Cross River given the little we saw but my understanding from official publications is that they derive serious money from oil revenue allocations.
