The bus slowed to a halt, and Ebimene felt a surge of excitement and apprehension as he gazed out the window, taking in the bustling energy of Lagos. The cacophony of voices, honking vehicles, and hurried footsteps created a symphony of urban life around him. With a deep breath, he picked up his bag, slinging it over his shoulder, and stepped down onto the busy streets.
As he walked away from the park, the sheer movement of the city was overwhelming—street vendors shouting their wares, commuters weaving through traffic, and people of all ages moving with a purposeful energy that contrasted with the slower pace he was used to. Ebimene's eyes darted from one face to another, taking in the unfamiliar surroundings, yet he couldn't resist a faint smile. This was Lagos—the city of dreams, of opportunities.
