I am sad, nothing will ever be the same again! The state's Zeus broke my heart with his proclamation that all fairy god-brothers be removed from the land! The effect of this proclamation has been devastating especially to hapless humans like myself!
I recall with a heavy heart, the mornings when I leave home for work and I'm running late; one of these magical beings stops in front of me and a smile splits the face I see through the helmet "auntie where you dey go?" he'll accompany the question with gesticulations with his wool gloved hand. I hop on while he waves his magic wand and off we go! We weave in and out of the 3rd mainland bridge 8am traffic and I'm not late! I'm even 7 minutes early, so I reward my fairy god-brother with a small token of appreciation;a N500 coin.
Many times, on different occasions these wonderful beings have been most helpful in helping you to quickly get to your destination.
I admit that sometimes,the thrill of the journey and the promise of the gold coin reward have gotten them overly excited that they have flung many passengers on the asphalt road but so have their grumpy counterparts that drive the four wheel wagons!
Today, I sat in the iyana-ipaja traffic and I did not get to work until 9:20am.I looked around frantically for them but not one was in sight. Sigh...tell me how am I going to survive without my fairy god-brothers?
