DeleteI remember this day very well! We all thought it was an earthquake, ikeja was far from my house o, but we could still feel the tremors. Chai!
My mum ran barefoot to Ikeja to rescue my uncle who is an officer there, as the super woman that she is 🙄. Not knowing the man and his family were running to my house. God saved my mum that day.
I still remember the first sentence the man made when he came to my house...' Give me a glass of water....another one....and another one'. His wife had just put to bed at the time, cute twins, me I was sha happy that we had babies to play with.
Their entire family lived in my house for over a month before they left.

ReplyDeleteHmmmmm, I will never forget that day! We had a full house. My husband and I, 2 of his siblings, 2 friends of theirs, my sister, mum in law, her sister. We all ran for dear life, we didn't know what was happening, all we could see was the bomb coming towards us. We passed through the marsh where people perished. It was terrible. Walked barefoot all the way to a friends house in Ebute Metta. I will never forget.
