A Tale of Two "Nigerians"

I wonder if my uncle has ever me Mohammed Babangida. My Uncle Ed lives in Okoja in Cross River State in the south east of the country while Mohammed lives in Niger State in the north, so it is probable they have not met. But you never know...

Mohammed Babangida seems more of a business man, and an important one at that, while my uncle is a missionary dealing with the translation of the Bible into the Bokyi, Kukele, Mbe, and Yala languages. I know, however, that both of them love African music, with Mohammed being partial to jazz, something that would carry the conversation should they ever meet.

Also, I seriously doubt my uncle has an interest in polo, a passion of Mohammed Babangida, though with my uncle's diminutive physical stature he could have been a jockey.
