Gary Fallesen / Thursday, December 1, 2011 / Categories: Nigeria, Mission: Nigeria 2011, Dispatches Friday, Dec. 2 We sped across the Christian south into northeastern Nigeria, driving for about 17 hours from Port Harcourt to Yola. This is our jump-off point for going into the bush to trek toward the remote Koma Hills people. "I feel like, if there was a speed limit we'd be going double it," Mike commented as our hired driver careened through one village. TIA (This Is Africa), too: crazy, long drives on roads (mostly paved) pocked with vehicle-eating potholes and littered with police checks. "Yola is like traveling to – I don't know what to describe," said Chris, although we can think of a few places. "By the grace of God we will be there." We have arrived – thank You, Lord – after midnight. Our travels are far from over, however. In a few short hours another day dawns.
