Dear ICS Loyal readers,
We stumbled on this story and just had to share. It is one of romance, betrayal and deceit…a must read!
Segun had been on my case for at least 2 years.
I met him one hot Saturday as I was
waiting for a taxi on a Grogner Street in Iwaya, Onike. He pulled over
and asked where I was headed. I don’t ever talk to people on the road
but this day, the look of the mist on the window of his air conditioned
car made it difficult to ignore him given the extreme heat I was exposed
to.
I stepped into his car, grateful for the
ride, yet determined to let him know I was no cheap girl that jumps
into available cars.
“Thank you so much, Sir, for the ride. I normally wouldn’t do this but I have been standing outside in the sun for at least 30 minutes. The cabs come in trickles and are either taken or too expensive. No one is interested in going my way”

“Where might that be?” He asked, totally ignoring every other thing I had said.
“I’m going to Ikota but I’ll drop off once we get to any major road where I can find a cab”.
“You’re in luck. I’m actually going to
VGC but I need to get to Surulere first. So I can either drop you off at
a taxi park or you accompany me to Surulere and then I drop you off at
your doorstep.”
