	I keep a small bag of coins. It contains a number of pennies, dime, quarter cents, and five cents. It’s relatively strange to me to be in possession of coins.

	&nbsp;

	Back in Nigeria coins are a rarity. They are only kept as memorabilia, and it’s odd to transact business using coins. You never see anyone with the one naira, 50kobo or 10kobo coins, in public, either at the store or for alms. Yet, it’s not that they do not exist. I can’t give a reason, but it seems we feel “too big” to carry...]]></description>

	It’s not particularly a fun place to be, on a bright and sunny Wednesday morning, flying insects cuddling your neck, and mosquitoes hovering round your head.

	It was the first time I was going to be the captain in charge of a sail. Better still, the first time I was going to be a sailor. An interesting experience, no doubt, but one with lessons to learn from.

	&nbsp;

	Really, the first I had a boat ride was sometime in Sept. 2004. It was a canoe paddled by a young fellow who sat at the edge, with the other passenger and me, gingerly seated in the middle. It was scary. We both held our hands, and indeed, our breath, for the about 10 minute ride,...]]></description>
