Published in Nigeria Today 2012 Some few hours ago, Ikotun and almost the whole Lagos was flooded. all the drainage channels busy with pitter-pattering; it rained cats and dogs for quite a long while, and this had shattered my day’s schedules. Wet and drained, I shivered past my gate and made for the foyer. A blue Honda was parked right at my mother’s parking spot while Her’s was just under the rain. “Hmm, what’ the… hope it’s not what I’m thinking…” My head almost exploded… you know why? My mother saw me coming. But to my greatest amazement, she began calling; *** “Mummy! Mummy!” I shrieked.
