When we first started our blog four years ago, we used to get occasional peculiar synchro stories from a Nigerian man living in London. The theme of his synchros have always been the same, comparing Nigerian political figures with American ones. He searches backgrounds to find commonalities linking the cross-Atlantic figures. We were never certain what these connections were supposed to mean, or infer, but we posted several of them.
A couple of years passed and we had not heard from Augustine and just a day or two ago, he came to mind and I wondered what had happened to him. So this morning (2-23), I was surprised – well, maybe not so surprised – to find an e-mail from Augustine with more of the same. This time he takes three American presidents and finds Nigerian counterparts, or at least connections between the American and Nigerian figures.
We’ll post it, more or less, as it was received.

I think these sort of synchros come under the ‘fun’ category, always interesting though.
Similar to Clinton, according to his biographers, JFK really enjoyed cheeseburgers and french-fries from junk-food restaurants!!!
Interesting guy, and an interesting set of synchros. I don’t know if you listen to NPR, but last week they had the most intriguing program about coincidences. You can still listen to the podcast if you want. I sure enjoyed it, and of course you came to mind every other minute. Download “This American Life” to listen to it. 🙂
We’ll have to find that NPR piece. Thanks for the tip, DJan!
