Hello friend,
This is Fu’ad, head troublemaker at Zikoko. For 80 days, Toke, Kayode and I will be travelling across every mainland country in ECOWAS West Africa, along with our trusty interpreter/planner, Tosin and our bus captain, Taiwo.
We’ll be looking for amazing stories about food, culture, language, money, the impact of technology and of course people, and we’ll be sharing those stories with here, everyday.
This is the promise: if you show up here at 12pm everyday, a story will be here waiting for you.
See you on the road
