Prologue 3


On my way to LAX, I learned that, as fate would have it, my SuperShuttle driver was from Nigeria. I hazarded a guess after noticing that he spoke with what I suppose you could call a West African accent, and he was happy that I had guessed correctly. (Actually, with a population of 1.5 million, Nigeria is the largest African country by population. So maybe it was no surprise that I guessed right.) On the drive, he told me a lot about what to expect in Nigeria, especially the food. I told him I was prepared for anything. He laughed and gave me the address to his wife's restaurant, saying that I should go if it turned out I really liked Nigerian food. So here's a shout-out to Delicious African Flava in Rialto. Incidentally, the driver also has his own medical supply company, Topsyn Medicine.
