Independence day... Our Anniversary, Our Tale

As she waited patiently for the most awaited moment of the event, memories from the past beguiled her happy mind. Memories of a handsome and intelligent young man who fell in love with a girl who was fed up with falling in and out of love. As expected, she had resisted and fought against all Harris had to offer. She had tagged him; a loose cannon, a player and a man she would never consider. His persistence, consistency and adorably kind heart finally swept her off her feet. At last, she gave up the battle, embraced his sincerity and accepted to spend eternity with the dark man with the moon in his eyes. A decision she would never regret.

With eyes closed she tried to mime the song but the lyrics turned to a low mumble. Tolu was in a world of her own and nothing  else mattered. The music was on replay and the soup would have to wait for awhile. Baba angrily breezed into the kitchen only to pause on his heels when his blazing eyes fell on well-rounded hips twisting heatedly to sounds he could not hear. His eyes darkened and his eyebrow twitched with surprise as he tried to figure out who the alluring lady with her back turned towards him was. Her moves captured his fantasy. When the spoon in her hand was turned into a microphone as she slowly twisted and  sent unimaginable waves up his spine, Baba's lips curled in a mischievous smile that turned into a sneer when it dawned on him that the dancing lady was actually Tolu.

Click on  Our Nigeria  to resume... A t this point I think I should mention that this article is absolutely not aimed at igniting immured emotions. It is not even about the havoc the war wrecked on Nigerians and the Eastern Region in particular, the dashed dreams, the alleged genocide and massacre of innocent souls or the non-prosecution of those involved due to their caliber in the society.  It is neither about the brazen pillaging of our collective wealth by several politicians in different guises, the overwhelming statistics of unfulfilled and abandoned political promises, the importunate betrayal and rapacious greed of most government officials; the approval and implementation of unworkable and fraudulent political and economic policies; nor is it about the resultant recession, the flagrant display of embezzled funds which impelled the get rich quick or die trying trend ravaging our nation today and in turn led to the recourse to criminality by most of our young leaders o

I was too tender to appreciate the intricacies of the game, but the Chorus of GOAL and the ensuing victory songs that rang out in our neighborhood when the men in green kicked a round - rolling object into the net brought joy to my very young heart.
