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.

A WIFE IS LIKE A CAR!!!

I love Nigerians! We are the definition of the phrase: ‘your brother’s keeper’. We watch out for others so much it is almost too much. It could be almost annoying at times, at other times it could be the saving grace in certain situations. For instance, in my quest to get to work this morning, I had to wait a few minutes at car-wash bus-stop for the God-sent who was going to help me to work. As I waited, a young woman driving one of those extremely feminine Beetle cars parked and got out of her car. She hurriedly opened the bonnet and discovered the car was overheating. Leaving the bonnet open, she went to her car to get a bottle of water. She was about to pour the water into the carburetor when one of the LAWMA officials who had already crossed the road to go wherever it is he was going hurriedly crossed back screaming: “madam, no pour the water, no pour the water!”. Shocked, she paused to look. In no time, the man was standing by her and explaining the effect of po

ON A LIGHTER NOTE...........

I have been in somewhat of a mood this week. A lot of things on my mind, not altogether serious or bad, just thought provoking occurrences and yes, good ones too. Even the good ones got me thinking. For instance, I am getting a lot of positive feedback about the blog and it is mighty encouraging. My aim is to provoke deep thinking as well as create an escape from the stress that comes with living. And so far, responses have proven that it is being achieved. Yet, with successes come bigger challenges. My first success is that I started, finally! After much thought, consideration, procrastination and feet dragging, I finally started. That immediately brings with it the challenge of continuing, one that seems oh so simple but isn't quite elementary. Its not enough to start, I must continue. Next big success, people are reading and loving it. That is so flattering but again so challenging, it means I must ensure that the write ups do not just stay good, they must keep getting bet

YOU SABI WHO IM BE BEFORE???

Call me weird but I enjoy bus rides. Yes, I do not mean comfortable air conditioned buses that belong to my father, brother, company or whoever you imagine I would know who might have a bus. I mean Danfo buses! Ok, I am certain I would like it more if the seats weren’t as many and it didn’t carry so many people at the same time. It would get even better if the windows actually work and the doors don’t fall off in motion. Yes, it would be really great if we didn’t have to almost lap each other all through the ride and the half naked conductor did not have to hang on the bus just next to you with your nose just around his hair ridden abdomen. Can people just stop sleeping in buses? I mean even if you have to sleep, can you do it with some finesse, I don’t even know your name so why should I want your head on my shoulder or the souvenir of your spittle on my shirt? Then, can you be kind enough to keep your baby in check; it’s just not fair for him or her to cry all through the tr
