Lagos Landing

We bring forth

A new life emergies

I'm serious.

It's rare to find a child in Africa who hasn't played in the rain.

Not playing in the rain here, It's like You,

living in Paris and not see the Eiffel Tower

You could imagine that.

I can imagine.

I sometimes get beaten by rain

but I've never played in it before.

So, are You thinking what I think you are thinking now?

That's one too many thinking, don't you think?

Why does it feels like I've known you all my life?

Maybe, we've met in the past life.

Yeah.

Jacqueline

That's my alarm.

I really should run off right now

Go to bed, so I can wake up all bright and smart for my meeting.

Okay

Alright.

Bayo

Yeah

Dream about me.

Yes, I will.

Grace

I am at work

waiting for my Boss

You know whatever you cook, taste delicious.

You are kidding me.

What!

No

Praise, let me call You back Mr Bayo is acting insane.

You are crazy Jacqueline

Why?

You are going a little too far with that internet guy

Why?

Is that's why you think I am crazy?

I really like Him

I really like Him

I think You should focus on dating guys here

Not guys who live half way around the world.

But that's why I'm having so much fun with this

because He lives half way around the world

I get to have romantic talks with him in pyjamas

as I'm eating junk food.

Such a wonderful experience,

You should try it.

Yeah, and what would I do with a virtual stranger?

Whatever! Anyway what would we tell each other

You know me, I'm way too anti-social

No that's not true,

I think You are afraid to mingle with foreigners

because your english is so poor.

Jacqueline, you know you are upset

Oh, really?

Anyway, I don't really like english. Go!

Go, go, go

And what was His response?

Hello Sir,

My name is Bayo Ogunbajo

we spoke on the phone.

I don't understand...

Why is he still breathing air?

If He is stupid enough to cross me

then, He must know such act would cost Him everything

See it done.

Aah!

Yes

Where were we?

Uhmm

Did You do it?

What?

Did I kill my best friend?

You have three counts of murder sir, and one count of fraud.

Bayo.

From experience

there are three people

And one of those people was once loyal.

I need results.

Jacqueline, this is an obsession.

I am not chatting with Bayo,

I am simply trying to finish my book

and you!

Sorry

But I'm not talking about your book

I'm talking about your trip to Nigeria

Oh that,

Please tell me you are not going to Nigeria to see this man?

I am not going to Nigeria to see this man

Really?

But I'm, Freeda.

I want to see Him, to meet him face to face.

To know if what I feel is real,

you understand?

And then, what?

He might just be the one

Freeda, are you jealous?

No Jacqueline, I just don't want you to go there alone

let him come to you, you going to Africa is not good at all.

Come on! He can not be the one

But what if?

There's nothing wrong with having an adventure

And it's not like I'm leaving forever Freeda.

He can't come here because he has too much work to do

He's a Lawyer, you know...

Freeda

My whole life, I have sat there on that computer

writting stories about adventure, about finding love somewhere far away.

But I have never experience any of it.

So, this is about your book, some love story you cooked up in the air?

Love, Freeda

I know it's hard to believe

But I really like Bayo

And if I go to Lagos and it doesn't work,

then fine!

It's okay!

I'll come back to Paris as the protagonist of my own love story

Not bad, please Freeda

I have a good feeling about this

Be happy for me.

Okay...

I will be here when you return.

Can we stop speaking english?

I know... I'm tired of it.

No english

Emeka, leave the briefcase on the sofa

I would be working in the living room tonight.

Okay sir.

Emeka

Emem

I didn't know you where around

where's Bayo?

He went upstairs

Do you want some?

Yeah! thank you.

Hey dear

You're here

I thought I did tell you, I will be a few days off work.

But you didn't tell me, You were coming here today.

I did not think I needed to tell You especially, since I have my own keys.

You know what? Legally, this is still my house

and I think I have the right to know

whenever you want to come around.

Do not take the car out for servicing anymore.

I need you to do something else for me, okay

Okay, Sir.

Before you say anything,

I would like to say that I am really very sorry you had to find out this way.

I've always wanted to say something but

But then your mother passed

And I saw how that affected You

It was a difficult time for you

For us

Grace.

Wait, you stayed with me

because my mother died?

I'm sorry Emeka

Hello sir.

Yes sir.

Okay sir, let me give her the phone sir.

Ma'am it's Mr Bayo

Please don't call me ma'am I prefer Jacqueline

Hey B.

Hey Jacqueline

Hi, how are you?

Are you enjoying Lagos already?

Look, I'm really sorry I couldn't come get you at the airport

I was so busy

It's fine, I understand

okay...

I can't believe I'm here in Lagos

I can't wait to see you B.

I can't wait too myself

Alright, see you soon

cheers, bye

I need to make a phone call

Yes, you can use my phone I've calllng card

thank you

I've to call Paris

My friend Freeda, made me promise to call her as soon as I landed

I'm sure she's just waiting by the phone right now

I have to call her before she starts to worry

An international call?

No!

You will need to get a personal line for that

Or use Mr Bayo's phone when we get to him

I don't have sufficient call card

my apologies

okay.

Uhmm,

How long before we get to Bayo?

Well, I'm to drive you to the hotel

Mr Bayo would get to see you maybe after work

I am leaving for his office once we get to the hotel.

Where can I get a phone?

I must call Freeda right away

if I wait any longer,

she would be worried that something is wrong

and I don't want her to worry.
