Synopsis
:
My brother, Gbenga, has been on my nerve since I announced I was picking up a job in Lagos and now my mum is sitting on my bed, face drawn, as I fold my clothes into a big box.
It is the eve of my departure to Lagos and what I really want is to be alone to think on the new life ahead of me.
‘Where do you say you are going to again?’
I glanced at my brother and It took so much restraint not to push him out of my room.
‘Are you deaf? I said I got a job on the island.’
‘Island? Where’s that?’
