Night before last (in the dark), this large semi-truck pulled nose-first into the Church Compound next door to us. It was a large curriculum order for all of the Lagos area. The truck was unloaded yesterday morning and by noon the driver was ready to leave. Problem was - How to get out? By 3:30 p.m. he was still stuck in the parking lot, wedged in super tight. Everyone was out there yelling different directions at the driver in their native language. He knocked some trim off the guard shack. Finally Marcus Ogbonna, who is travel coordinator and a retired military officer, took charge. He emptied the parking lot of cars to give the truck room to move and he was finally on his way - or so we thought. Since we were trying to leave ourselves to go to the store, we needed him to move. I shot a little video to show his continuing problems in getting out of our little street. I don't think this driver will want to come back any time soon.
