Chapter 1 The Early Bird

I woke up to the sound of my alarm blazing at 5:00 am. My first day at the new job in Lagos was finally here!

I rubbed my eyes, trying to shake off the slap.

A quick shower later, I gulped down a breakfast of instant noodles and a cup of water. My bag was packed, and I was out the door by 5:30am.

The air was crisp, and the streets were relatively quiet….for Lagos.

I enter the bus, and we zoned off towards ikeja. The conductor shouted ikeja, ikeja as we joined the growing traffic.

I settled in for the ride, bring my phone out, trying to get some last minute work emails sorted.
