I apologize if you have discussed your vocation here and I have missed it, but what are you planning on doing there? Are you planning on going to Nigeria, specifically? IF so, are you or your family originally from that country?Long tormented by division and disunity, with 350 ethnic groups speaking 250 languages, Nigeria is rapidly becoming a cauldron of religious and ethnic strife on a continent that has just begun to experience the full impact of Islamist radicalism.
It sounds like a dangerous place, and perhaps an especially difficult place for an outsider (particularly an American.)Naw. I’m from a country called Texas. I know some seminarians from the Sheol regions, but they won’t go back bc they know the dangers.
God bless you.THAT its dangerous and difficult is the reason I am going. Physically, not everyone can go, but I can, so I am. To feed the orphans of war. And provide shelter for refugees. And hopefully a safe presence.
