DONALD DEDE, MARCH – APRIL 2016
Arriving from London Heathrow to Murtala Mohamed airport Lagos, things went rather well at first, but at the pick up baggage point it took another 2 hours or so to collect my luggage. My luggage collected I then proceeded to meet my sister. Once outside there were hordes of people wanting to assist me some even tried to grab my luggage away from me. It was somewhat unsettling as I never experienced anything quite like that, but anyway as I insisted that I was waiting to be picked up they relented. However one of them was so helpful that I decided to accept his help. He turned out to be the one that took me, my sister and my niece home to her place about an hour and half away.
As I said it was quite emotional and as we sat in the car it was quiet for a couple of seconds but seemed like ages. And then we started talking for real and it never stopped until we reached her home.
At home I met all my relations, that was emotional too. I was welcomed and received warmly by everyone My sister Comfort with Desiree, her grandchild.
