Nigeria polo trip: Volunteer needed!

The doctor I saw was absolutely adamant that I didn't need one. But hey, we'll see.

I've been in Africa loads without no Yellow Fever nonsense

Good Luck!

What is there to say? Horse polo is the sport of rich people. The fact that in this case, it happens that most of the rich people who will be spectating (if not playing) will have black skins, is neither here nor there.

On the other hand, we, white middle class men, are depriving poor, young kids of sporting facilities provided by the state authorities right now (well, later on today). A classic example of the bourgeoisie gaming state subsidy for their own advantage.

Absolutely spot on bill.

what exact dates is this, Jono?

what exact dates is this, Jono?

Monday 24th dep, return 31st (October).

thanks Bill, but I can not

That ad says "professional bike polo players from England". Thus amateur celts need not apply. ;-)

Any large event needs lackeys and from the impressions given above, you'll be demonstrating to the lackeys rather than the rich folk watching and horsing about. If that assumption is correct, I fully support this initiative, otherwise what Bill said.

Why all the white middle class guilt? There is no issue here, whatever, just go play polo and enjoy.

Awaitting your responce.

My name is Danjuma Sule, one of the sons of major Gen Gumel Danjuma Sule, The late Nigeria's former minister of mines and power in the regime of the late former Nigeria's military Head of state, Gen Sanni Abacha.

He married my mother on the agreement that my mother,Amina Fausat Sule, will maintain her family's name and bicycle polo skills together with her children. Before he died in the German hospital on the 15th of November 1988 where he went to operate on the cancer of the knee, he fixed the Sum of $30,000.000.00 in the Central Bank of Nigeria under Intartrade Ventures Ltd on behalf of my mother. The 3 yrs maturity period placed on the money is due but the problem we are having now is that we lost the whole of the documents as a result of fire, which gutted our house 3 months ago, and we need to make the exhibition game of the polo in accordance with her wishes.

We have discussed with our family attorney on how to collect the money with out hitches, he advised us to liaise with foreigners who will act as the foreign partner of Intartrade Ventures Ltd and will purport that The money in question is urgently needed overseas for an important project, including the construction of hardcourt bicycle polo courts.

In order to achieve this, we need you to send us all your personal details, including signature, bank account details, type of wheel that you are using, your preference of fixed or freewheel, and a deposit of 20,000 british pounds from your organisation.

etc

'don't leave the compound' is my favourite tag

You won't be saying that after 'Day five at polo concentration camp'...

Militia: Give us the details of your family so we can negotiate the ransom for your release
Jono: No polo no talk

"yorgo scared of africa" loving the tag
