Episode 7 Leaving Nigeria (08-06-14)

School is out. Shipment has left Nigeria. Bags are packed for the airplane. We've said good bye to friends. So it must be time for us to leave. I find it hard to believe that this is the last time I will be taking this journey on the Total bus from Ocean Parade to Lagos's International Airport. The last time I will cast my eyes over the stilt village of Makoko, blanketed in smoke from early morning cooking fires as we cross to the mainland. I will not say that we will never find ourselves back in Lagos, because we just might.

So farewell, Lagos, you have brought me much happiness and I wish you strength and stability.
