(Wednesday the 17th of September)
The day began as usual, and I continued my daily lifestyle, I am feed up with this heck of a life. I have never been so tired of doing the same thing over and over again, I need a new thing in my life.
Today being Monday my intern will be coming to the office I will try to figure out some news as it has just been coincidental that some incident happens and its wired and it's hard for me to decode it all by my self.
Come to think of it after a lost girl found, girls dead in town due to over drinking, what else will we hear in this country, a flying man?, or a zombie apocalypse?, but you never know, now that I think of it is doesn't sound that bad.
I did the usual which was to pray, bath, cook and prepare for work. I also ordered an Uber driver, by this time I was already outside waiting for the driver to arrive. Furthermore, I was standing directly opposite a rented apartment and the only thing that divided us was the so-called road. As I was looking at the direction of the house a woman came out, she was dressed indecent if you ask me, from the aspect of my religion and also because of the type of family and community I grew up in, but actually this dressing is condemned anywhere in Nigeria by any true Nigerian.
The woman came out, and she was wearing a short that was very short to the extent it was reveling her booty cheeks, she was wearing a bra and then something that kinda looks like a jacket but it's too transparent and unimportant, she was walking towards me as she was walking on one foot with heals the other heel was in her hand, seems it was broken, she was holding a purse under her pits, her hair was scattered and disorganized as she looked as if she was coming straight from hell.
She was looking pale and sad as if she was beaten or something like that, but I don't blame who ever did it to her, I am sure she deserved it and worst. Besides what was she thinking, I believe this is what you get when you make tour self a commodity that people can buy easily at any time, cheep sweet.
She was even looking more irritating as she came closer to me and asked a simple but yet a very strange question.
"Where is this…you a.rea…area where?" She asked as I was left in shock, don't tell me after all this make up and the rest this girl cannot speak English.
" What did you say?" I asked looking at her dirty face.
"Sorry sir, Good morning sir!, please sir I want to know where I am." She said as she tries to put her self in other.
"Well this is wuse zone II" I replied looking away from her as she was not the way I would like to start my day
"How do I get too....." She brings her phone out of the purse and continued.
"How do I get to lugbe" she asked
"Take a taxi"
"And how do I get a taxi"
"Order"
"With what sir I don't understand"
" your phone"
"Okay, thanks"
She was not as bad as she seemed she was actually a nice girl but what led her to this place?, what even made her forget her house address. But this was not my problem and I had nothing to do with it.
"Peeeeeeeee peeeeeeee"
The loud sound of the car was just too destructive, and I had to turn, turns out it was my Uber driver, I walked to where the car was and entered it, while I gave her a long-lasting stare until the car disappears, and she was not afraid to give me the looks back as she did not cut the eye contact as she looks at me suspiciously.
"Sir!, sir!"
" Good morning sir" I created
"Good morning sir" he replied my greeting
I turned to the window as I was sitting on the right side of the car, I was observing the view as there was silence in the car which the driver wanted to break, he wanted to ask about something, but his mind is not allowing him to ask.
"Sir where did you get that girl from?"
"Which girl?" I asked in total shock as I was confused by his words.
"The fine girl that was outside with you"
"Oh, that girl she is not..."
"Please don't deny it, don't lie if you did not want to talk where you hot her from its fine" he said as he ends up the topic.
Here I was sitting in an Uber cab and the driver thinks I follow women for pleasure, really?.
Today turns out not to be as usual as most days, after what happened I was now interested in knowing my "so-called" neighbors, I have never been interested in any ones life but here I am wanting to know my neighbors, I mean who are they?.
How did the girl get there?, and why did she not know where she lived by heart?, maybe she just relocated and is trying to make a living from the fastest way possible.
The drive was a long one and the driver did not make it any fast or better as he had this resentment after our little chit-chat, well no matter how long it lasted it had to come to an end.
I walked down the car as I entered deep into the office it was eight in the morning, and I was right on time.
I was still walking until I saw a group of people gathering around in the office, on a usual day I was to walk past them but today was not as usual always, so I went close to find out for my self what happened.
"Call the cab" an employee shouted
"Its hear" a man coming out of the door shouted as they carried a body out of the building.
Wait a minute it's that habiba girl she was being carried out, turns out she fainted.
"What happened to her?" I grabbed my former camera man who used to follow me to shoot my news.
"She had a panic attack and fainted"
"Thanks"
What happened to her was not my problem but somehow I was concerned for the innocent girl.
I then went to my office and sat down on my seat, thoughts about that girl I meet this morning was running and playing down in my head. What a weird country we live in???
