Come on now, seriously you people should know how hard it is for us here in the states with gas prices out of control and families suffering because of it. How is it that a powerful group like that don't have a strong negotiater? Then traveling without a lawyer, which by the way...I'm married to a Nigerian lawyer who's now running for office in Apapa...Oladipo Soyode grandson of the SAGE, I'll send you wedding pictures at your request if you like. Long story short, I use to watch how customs intimidated him when visiting me here in the states and he is a lawyer for pete's sake. How did this guy travel without a lawyer being Nigeria's most wanted??? Being a strong supporter of Bush and his policies and a Republican my whole life believing...I was deeply in love with that man and I still am till this day married him thinking it would be easier to travel and get through customs...not so. I love Nigeria and have done good work there for survivors of polio.
