Ladies and Gentlemen its finally here. The Story you've all been waiting for is here. If you like plagiarise. IDGAF.......... Try am See. Copyrights reserved 2015 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. This is Non-fictional.......©Vanquay This is actually first Story since the days of WAEC gone by I would just like a review and possibly develop the story or acknowledge am not meant to wield a pen. Enjoy. cc standd. I Don tell you say I be oga. "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain speaking, I am pleased to announce we have arrived Muritala Muhammad International Airport. Once again Thank you for choosing Arik Airlines " Almost like an Instinct I jammed my headphones into my ear, I was not disappointed. Thunderous applause enough to put Motivational speakers to shame greeted the captain's speech. After going through the protocols of the ever-not-smiling Baggage officers I made my way to the lounge wondering what had changed. I was just a 5ft 8in lanky 14yr old boy when I made the solo journey to live the American Dream. Now I was a 19yrs old 6ft handsome fairly dark-skinned athletic Male. My mouth in it's default cynical expression, eyes slanted like a feline. I noticed the ever criticizing looks I got because of my dreadlocked Mohawk, or my thin scar that ran in a diagonal from my chick to my jaw or maybe it was just my cynical menacing expression. Yeah, I was back in Nigeria with a new look and a funky accent. "AMERICANA Awfar now,you get small Roger for us". Evidently nothing had changed with the Nigerian Police force. I gave them a $10 bill wondering what good it would do the men at the exit door. "Oga now, you even get Beats nah only $10 you feel give us" said a man whom's face looked like his mums traditionalist decided to try new styles on his face at birth. "Oga no vex oh, I be student". "Which. Kain student? you no even sabi talk pidgin proper again". Another $10 down the drain I was finally made to go in peace. Then I heard that beautiful voice, a voice encompassing pure happiness. "AH Omo mi ti de. Bayo mi ti de O" Dropping my luggage I rushed to my Grandmother giving her a full prostrate although it came off more as a press up. After niceties were made, jabs exchanged and baggage secured. We began the 3hr journey to the ancestral city of Ibadan potholes considered. I was in Nigeria because of my Grandmother. She is a 72yr old jovial chubby woman. Her face showing that life had indeed been good to her. She had petitioned the family to make her see her 3 oldest Grandkids. My cousin Pelumi came early but had to leave back to the states because of college. My Cousin Dapo made the trip last year and was back in the states too. And as usual I was always last in the "Golden Trio" I gathered my thoughts wondering what I would do during my 3week stay. Visit my few friends whom chose to pursue their education in Nigeria, perharps spark up old romances or just lock myself in the room. "Se o gbo ikan ti moso" said my Grandmum tapping me. " A ma se parti fun e". I knew I was back to my fatherland. Talk about a way to welcome your 19yr old grandson. Nothing but a Lavish feast would do. It was good to be back. I had missed the accent, the language,the dressing, the beautiful dark-skinned women. I had missed Everything. HOME SWEET HOME. 1 Like 1 Share |
