Reverie

-

It was a perfect day in Victoria Island Lagos. There was beauty, laughter, joy and dancing all round the big bright Mercy hall. It was Vivian Sissy's wedding ceremony. The room was filled with smiles, happiness and cheer but there is one dark spot from where a lady stared.

Helen Grace was thinking about Mike again. Mike Martins, a smart young man with broad shoulders and cute eyes who she met few years back at a gathering like this. She just sat there, thinking about a moment like this when she first saw Mike and how he walked her to the stage as she stirs at everyone around the 'tiny place' .

Helen walked over to the window and reflected on her sunny surroundings. She had always loved beautiful Lagos with its watery wild waters. It was a place that encouraged her tendency to feel relaxed. But with this noise, she can not help but brood.



Then she saw something in the distance or rather someone. It was the charming Figure of the Martin she just pictured. Helen gulped as she glanced at her own reflection. She was an incredibly pretty and smart lady with lovely eyes and beautiful smile. Her friends saw her as a goddess.

But not even the goddess was prepared for what Mike had to say today. The rain has come. It hammered like hopping horses making Helen delighted. She had always wanted to feel him again after so many years.


As Helen stepped out and Mike came closer, she could see the shiny glint in his eye. Mike gazed with affection 'You are Beautiful' he whispered. She looked at him with delight as they walk towards the stage and the music slowly played.

They danced around that Tiny place. He grabs a mic and starts to sing 'I am ready to sweep you off your feet' they danced the night away as he continues to sing 'Helen I love you and I want you' she looked at him with suprised feeling. Her lips opened up and he stole a kiss.

She closed her eyes, and the intensity was deep. It was filled with longing and passionate bliss she wanted more 'hold me tight don't ever let go'  she whispered.

Helen!  Helen!
He was the beautiful dream!!!

The Menace of Corporate begging in Lagos

-

 By Praise Olowe Just when I thought the issue of corporate begging had seized in Lagos, some of my recent encounters within the Lagos metropolis has got me re thinking. Corporate beggars seem to be back in town and this time around, they are back in re branded styles. Street begging is not new in Nigeria, and it majorly involves visibly disadvantaged people, who line major roads to beg for money. You would agree with me that, seeing a good looking man who is all dressed up in tuxedo, carrying a fancy brief case and wearing a pair of shoe so well polished that you can almost see your reflection in them on the street of Lagos is not at all a concern. However, it becomes one when this corporately dressed man, walks up to a lady not to make advances, but to seek assistance backing it up with a really pathetic story. This was my experience a few days ago, at the Oshodi area of Lagos. This handsome looking guy, walked up to me and said: (not the exact word...
