Do we get Glocks when we get to JNB? I heard the interns get one (even if they have to share it).

Yeah but on the layover they stay in their rooms "polishing their weapon"! Or waxing their carrots!

The national sport in Nigeria is kidnapping foreigners!

This is quite literally my least worry in America. And I'm dark. Amazing what happens when you behave like a civilized human being. Stop being a drama queen or move to Canada.

Pull over when asked or lights are on in the first safe spot to stop. If at night put your dome lights on. Roll down the drivers window. Place your hands at 10 and 2 on the wheel and stay that way until the cop asks you to do something. You won't get shot.

In AR they will P.I.T. you if you don't pull over quickly, period.

in other countries, you don’t get shot even if you don’t put your dome light on

No one gets shot in the US for not putting their dome light on. They get shot for pulling a deadly weapon on the cops. It's always a case of resisting arrest escalating to violence.
