Nigeria Elections #1


This device I am holding is called a Began and connects via satelite to the internet. Useful gadget when in a remote area.

Things are looking up with the arrival of another editor cameraman plus two more applemacs plus two satelite internet connection goodies . Biggest hassle so far has been feeding the video footage which takes hours on the hotel internet system. Swiming every day in this tepid pool water which is like a bath. Observing the foreigeners getting off with the locals. Otherwise pretty routine. Shoot until lunch then edit and feed. Room service costing a fortune. The Sheraton hotel in Abuja is massive and one get get lost here. About an old Holiday Inn status but huge.Tomorrow we will cover the court case of the main opposition. Much like the Zuma saga methinks. Still can't complain apart from the heat as all are friendly to us.
