Nice little report. I also went to Rwanda before the war. We drove down to Lake Kivu, I don't think I've ever been in a country where there were so many people active in the countryside, walking and cycling along the roads with huge loads. I remember having a meeting with a bloke in Kigali and feeling something run over my foot; looked down and it was a cockroach the size of a large bar of soap. Yeuch!
I've tried to get in touch with the equivalent group in Lagos and was soundly rebuffed by the Chairman of the Nigerian Cycling Federation, one Chief Anni, who made it clear he wasn't interested in any contact with European riders. Probably 99% of money for sport gets stolen in Nigeria, which probably explains why 140 million people couldn't produce one single Olympic medal-winning athlete.
