Second time in Lagos. We visited another beach, don't know exactly. Myself, my younger sister(mum of 2 now) and my Cousin. I was told then that Sea and lagoon (Okun&Osa) are enemies. Like one is dirty, one is clean, one is Evil and the other is good. If you throw dirt into the Sea, it will throw it back or come drop it in your house. If you bottle both lagoon and Sea water in same bottle, they will fight till they burst the bottle and the Sea water will flow back no matter how far. We fetched a bottle of the salt water from here back to Ondo with Seashells too. Used them to decorate shelf for years. The last time i saw beach, 1989. 32 Likes 1 Share |

Same day, we visited one place called Amusement park. Myself, my younger sis, my late sis, late mum and cousin. A boat ride with my younger sister, bumper car ride, circling horses and later went to the park's restaurant/eatry. Took jollof rice with chicken and GoldSpot drink. We paid in coins, can still remember small this last Lagos visit. From here, we visited kingsway that has a door that open itself and escalator stairs that moves up and down. At night, we went to see planes at MMIA(last time i saw planes/ airport). Lost the pictures to water years later, had to dry these ones then sef(Check the second photo). Traveled back to Ondo second day. 30 Likes 2 Shares |

Beautiful memories. I wasn't even in Lagos yet by then. The thing about such memories personally, is that I get scared seeing how far I've come and how quickly I'm getting old, I really dread getting old. I want to remain young forever |
