My military escort.

I went to Bafut today to present my program and towards the end of the day the Mayor invited me to come to a funeral. It was in his "quarter" and the woman was a well-respected 76 year old. Every was invited to celebrate with lots of food and beer.
I met some soldiers from the base at Up-station, which is near where I am staying, so I asked if I could travel back with them. I assumed that, as they were in full uniform, they must have some sort of military vehicle - at least a jeep. I was wrong again. They were happy to travel with me and that meant we all crammed into a public taxi to 3C Juction an then stood by the roadside to negotiate with another. At least I felt safe.
