Picture this- Car chase

Picture This is a new column I am introducing to the blog. It's an hypothetical situation, a depiction of my imaginations. More often than not, these events did not occur. Once in a while, when I encounter something really amazing, it could feature here too. Read with a light heart, it's not a serious something.

Car Chase

They are attention grabbers, any day- all four of them, good looking and happy, chatting away. Locating their car in the parking lot, they file in one after the other and zoom off into the busy street.

Anyone peeping into the car would have seen them laughing, talking and bobbing their heads to the music from the car CD player. It’s a lazy evening and the ladies bask in each other’s company.

It’s on 3rd mainland bridge that Kemi, seated by the driver notices the car to their right, occupied by a guy and his friend, driving steadily alongside them. There's a bit of traffic, allowing the guys feast on the beautiful sight the girls make.

They soon start honking and making faces of approval mouthing words like: 'beautiful angel'; 'you too fine' and winking.

The girls laugh, irritated at first, then amused. The one in the front passenger seat mouths; 'which one of us do you like'? The guy driving replies; "all of you'.
He winds down slightly, she does the same. He attempts to sweet talk them into coming with him and his friends. They laugh and make funny faces. Accepting defeat, he declares that they would follow the girls to their destination. Again, the girls laugh and make a joke of it.

Observing traffic is about to move, the guys display their phones, mouthing "your number". The girl on the passenger side collects the closest phone, looks at it and realises it’s an expensive phone. As in on cue, traffic clears as she winds up her side glass and they zoom off, laughing.

Totally shocked, the guys begin a chase, the girls move fast and soon get off third mainland. They drive into Ikoyi, turning this way and that, all along the guys drive after them.

Eventually, the girls drive into a filling station, give the phone to the petrol attendant and say: ' that bros in that black car wey just drive in now say make I give you. Thank am well, you hear'.


At this point, the guys pull up beside them, wind down and attempt to talk, the girls laugh, wink and zoom off.

Epic Traffic Sunday for Ajah Residents

Anyone who lives around Ajah can testify to how difficult it was to get anywhere on Sunday. Many commuters who left home with plans to go to church turned back midway when it was clear they were going to get nowhere. The ones who attempted to brave it or were in too deep to make a U-turn ended up conducting their worship service in their cars. To think Sundays are meant to be traffic-free days kwa?! My hair stylist could hardly walk properly when I saw her later in the evening. According to her, she left Badore at after 9 in the morning and didn't get to VGC till well after 11. Naija tweet-sphere, especially  +GIDITRAFFIC  was rid with complaints and lamentations. The discomfort was heightened by the fuel situation. Hard earned fuel wasted in traffic on a Sunday morning. Yes, Ajah traffic has always been bad, but now its even worse, it is now a prayer point. For those of you residing in less problematic areas, say a prayer for us or dash us your gallon of petrol. Appar...

WHAT NO ONE TELLS THE BRIDE

You know how politicians and politically aware people eagerly await a new government’s 100 days in office? Publications highlighting the government’s achievements in the time frame, bearing assurances and fresh promises to silence wailing wailers flood the media. 100 days in office is usually a big deal. Since my husband is so into politics and so not into anniversaries, I decided to ignore our 3 months month-niversary and celebrate 100 days in marriage instead. Well, it didn’t quite work. And that’s perhaps where I should start. There are several things the bride does not hear before she becomes a wife. Many she is outrightly not told, others she is too happy or too busy to understand. Then she gets married and after the long awaited event, her ‘eyes clear’.  Sometimes, the giddy feeling lasts till the honeymoon is over, but when she returns home with her husband, reality hits. Even when the new wife has the most understanding husband and uninterested far-away in-...
