Chidima returns back to Maryland,USA. She calls her job to make sure that she is on the schedule. She is on the schedule to resume on Sunday at 7pm to 7:30am which is great because she has few days to rest before work. She calls her parents to tell them that she arrived safely. She calls Mike to let him know that she got back to Maryland safely. Mike is excited to speak with Chidima. Mike started calling Chidima often and encouraging her to move to Lagos.He told Chidima that she can go on vacation in USA but not to reside there. Chidima let me ask you, apart from your good roads what is good about America?.Chidima try to explain but Mike told her that he rather live in Nigeria than USA .
Chidima came to the conclusion that Mike is contented in Nigeria and doing well. But Chidima does not see herself living in Nigeria, not now atleast. Chidima told Jacob everything about her trip including meeting with Mike and everyone else that she saw while in Nigeria.
