章 1: Chapter 1

I was awake till 3.30am, I quickly took my bath because my cousin said we would follow God is Good motors, according to her, they are very reliable, but that one was not my business, atleast by that time tomorrow, I would be in Lagos. I quickly prepared even before my cousin woke up from sleep. By 5.30 am, we were already on our way to the park, dad saw us off after morning prayer, my cousin booked the ticket, by 6.30 am, we were enroute to Lagos. I had just nokia torch, so throughout the journey, my eyes were locked to the bus window, I only slept for 1 hour. We got to river Niger by 2.30pm, trust me, I thought it was salt, I asked my cousin if Nigeria store salt there for export, my cousin laughed at me, and told me it was water, water looking so much like salt. We finally got to God is Good terminal at Ajah, Lagos by 6.00 pm, we came down, Everywhere was looking like oversea, beautiful cars, big television on the road. My cousin pressed something on his phone and a car arrived, but we had just one problem….my home training. I have heard lot of bad things happening in Lagos, kidnapping, stealing, ritualist, and my mother warned me never to enter a stranger’s car nor talk to a stranger, so I refused to enter the car. My cousin suffered that day, she begged and assured me that the man was good, that in fact, she knew the man from Adam, I accepted because the man spoke my native language. We parked our luggage inside the car and drove off.
