Hunger

Not hunger, but exhaustion.

I actually entered that Oké-afa canal in the 2002 Lagos armoury explosion, but was dragged out.

If not for my sister that held me and my younger brother’s hand firmly, probably we would have died.

We were going home from church back then, when the bomb blast started. We ran with the crowd until we found ourselves inside that canal.

I saw people died in that canal, especially children. I didn’t even understood how we made it out alive, because the crowd was rushing in thinking the canal is a path forward, while those inside struggle to get out.

The stampede made the ground so slippery, that as you try to get out, you’ll slip back in.

This was the only time in my life I was standing side by side with corpses, as a young boy.

Thank God I made it out alive.

My boss told me to deliver a message to one of our senators back then several years ago
I was young then, probably finishing my secondary school
So I knock at the gate, no response but I discover the gate was not close properly
I open the gate , get inside and was moving close to the apartment when suddenly two Bull dogs started running towards me
I froze for seconds, then scream with all my voice for the people inside the house to hear, then suddenly the two bull dogs stopped
Meanwhile all this incident happens at mid-day, then the errant boy of the senator came out and attend to me.

Finally a country that understands basic infrastructure maintenance. Maybe if we spent less time being shocked and more time not living like feral raccoons we’d have clean roads too. But no let’s just keep marveling at competence like it’s magic.

Yes, good road maintenance is necessary to prevent dirtiness and stinking odor.
