Nigeria embassy wouldn't give me a visa here in Dakar, because I do not have a Senegalese residency permit. A small Nigerian offered to take me to the Police Whatsit to get said permit, quickly, and without them asking me all the usual annoying questions. I declined. Lagos doesn't offer visas on arrival, and it's illegal to send one's passport back to the states to get a visa (or with someone else, for that matter).
So either I:
a) go back to the states a bit early from Dakar, get my visa, and return to Nigeria within a week or
b) ef Nigeria and stay in Dakar to do more work here or
c) ef Nigeria and go home to regularly scheduled programming.
Much depends on how much it will cost to change my flights, and whether or not my collaborators on the Nigeria workshop are willing to let me bail.
Also, two men are up in my ceiling draining water that has been gurgling up there for a couple days. Looks kinda messy in there.

would a third option being stopping over somewhere else to get a nigerian visa? i got 'em in mali and gabon w/ no problems (although getting from bamako to lagos at a reasonable price/expenditure of time was, of course, an entirely different hassle.)
