Hoping to get everything

Good news,

We're hoping to get back to Ife on Saturday-Monday. While we're waiting, we've been looking at all of the ridiculously put together newspapers they have here. Nigerian papers need a lesson in grammar. It's almost like the newspaper companies don't have any editors. Almost all of the articles have mispelling, and/or punctuation mistakes, and/or misusage of words. I, an 11 yrs. old, could do a better job at editing than they did.
    The comics are weird, too. Usually, if somebody makes a comic in parts, they make about six or seven panes in the funnies and continue next week. In Nigeria, there is this comic called Tunde Smatt. It's about a detective thatis trying to stop all of these crooks all over the place. This time the story was called "Just for the Money". They will put two very small panes with two tiny pictures and a few little sentences every week. You just can't follow the storyline. Come on Nigeria, you can do better than that!

Signing off,
The Traveler
