Mireva

"Love, Lagos, and Heartstrings"

"But seriously, I’m coming over for an introduction. Your mom will give us her blessings because we’re perfect together!" she texted with a wink emoji, secretly pouring her heart out.

They met in a group chat online, got close, and before she knew it, Nike had caught feelings. But now, they were drifting apart.

Jimi’s response? A sarcastic laugh. "What makes you think we’re good together? That’s an awful thought," he replied hours after, like he always did.

It hurt more than she let on. His cold attitude and constant delays left her feeling emotionally drained. How could she make him see that her feelings weren’t just some silly crush?

Her friends teased her endlessly: "What do you even see in him? Is it the deep Yoruba voice or the fine face?" she’d roll her eyes and snap back, "Please, mind your business!" But even she knew it was time to move on.

After finishing high school, Nike set out to explore Nigeria—first Port Harcourt, then Ibadan, and Warri—before finally landing in Lagos. Independent and confident, she was building the life she wanted. She joined a vibrant community of aspiring actors, musicians, and influencers.

She was happy, with the past starting to feel like a distant memory… until a new guy showed up in her group. Handsome, familiar, and… Jimi.

What happens when old feelings collide with a new chapter in the city that never sleeps?

Table of Lagos, love, vibes.
