I have a similar postcard that my Dad sent to my mother when he worked in Lagos in the 1970's. I found it in the drawer as a child and it spurred me on to visit Nigeria later in life.

Having friends I like to write to in Nigeria the only way to send written notes that get there is on a postcard as they don't get stolen, whereas letters do. They take roughly 30 days to get to Nigeri from the Uk but its a reliable enough service.

2 kwel, for all sort of reasons but mainly for the coincidence that my sister lives in Woodford Green, Essex. And because her husband will go abroad- Nigeria- for a quick assignment, I have been asked to come spend the week to help with the kids.

I wonder if he ll send post cards to the little ones, or if he ll be meeting Alhaji Yar'adua this time...

Aww ... leaves me nostalgic.

Where did you find the postcard? It is part of your family history or did you find it trucked away between the pages of a book in some very old neighborhood bookstore (that has happened to me before)?

Please tell!
