Thank god the suicide attempt prevented.

Bonｊuor! This is Atushi.


Aiming at traveling 32 countries in the world cup, the most difficult country to visit is Nigeria.


We've already got visas and booked flight tickets for Nigeria. But we're hesitating to enter the our credit cards numbers to purchase the tickets.

Everything is ready to visit there.

But we Libero are being chickens.


Since we have visited Johannesburg known as a the world-most insecure country several times, we've become familiar with this city.


But when it comes to Nigeria, it's another story.


The rumors are that;


1. 700 people died in the collusion between security authority and armed group.


2. According to the Japanese ministry of foreign affairs, the kidnappings of foreigners have increased recently. 16 incidences (41 people) in 2008. 14 incidences (53 people) from January to June in 2009.


3. My acquaintance, who is an expatriate staff in Nigeria, told me that 857 armed people were shot by the police. He hires bodyguards in his duty.


4. Police officers are occasionally corrupt by armed groups.


5. In response to my question to a travel agent, " How much it the flight ticket for Nigeria?". He replied, "Are you insane?"


6. All the black guys we met during our trip advised us that Nigeria is the last country to visit.


Why was U17 World Cup held in such a dangerous country?


In fact, we stopped at Lagos on our way to Ghana.

In that sense, do you mind if I say "I've ALREADY been there."?

We are eager to complete 32 countries as we've set up the goal.
However, we have families and friends. But we have already got visas and booked flight tickets. But I don't wanna die. But but but.. go round and round.


At last, we've come to the conclusion that we can't make a decision on our own.


Then,


I would like you to choose the way we should take.


Do you think we should still go to Nigeria or not?


I want you to vote for it on the vote form placed on the side of this blog. 
The due day for the voting is on 15th December 2009.


(The voting period ended) (16/12/09)


246 people voted as shown in the below.

No, you should not.

Yes, you should.

As a result, we decided not to go to Nigeria!!


Then I cancelled our flight and extended our staying in Cameroon to check the first country we're playing in the world cup!


Thank you for helping our ass.
