I missed the middle of the trip falling asleep. My guess is I dozed for 1-2 hours, which was good. I needed the sleep; it would be a long day. I eventually woke because I noticed the van slowing and swerving or swerving and stopping repeatedly. Each swerve caused a head to flop forward or to one side or the other… you have seen someone sleeping in a car. I must have looked a bobble head doll, with all the slowing and swerving, swerving and stopping.
Turns out that all the swerving and slowing or stopping were road blocks by police and military. The road blocks are an added security feature on the main roads around Jos initiated due to the riots during early 2010.
We must have passed through 30-40 road blocks on the way home, sometimes multiple roadblocks were only 200 yards apart. The violence has quelled so obviously the roadblocks and other safety measures seem to be working… Thank you Lord!
