Three things:
1. Teach at Obafemi Awolowo University. I teach in a Nigerian university now, and it ROCKS. You must know OAU (Univ. of Ife) has a reputation as one of the most thorough/elite unis in the country. Also, I hear the architecture at the university is really beautiful.
2. Immerse in the arts and culture. Further develop the place culturally. Maybe star in a movie about ancient Yoruba wars.
3. Get my Yoruba speaking skills back to normal, after a decade of non-practice.

I’ve heard it’s life-changing, even causing people to suddenly quit smoking. Anything that beautiful is worth a visit.

Did a camp for three weeks in Yola, Adamawa State. It’s a gorgeous, green, and hassle-free place, near the River Benue, Adamawa highlands, and Nigeria’s border with Cameroon.
Now I’m out of camp and looking for a place to stay that has all the comforts (internet especially) so I can chill here for a while and teach at FUTY. So excited. On the one hand there’ll be nature and “exotic” tradition, and on the other there’ll be quiet time to write, internet, and academics. Seems pretty perfect.
Come on and visit, I’m hosting.
