Money. |
By Olumide T. Agunbiade
I
checked my watch for the umpteenth time as our Honda finally eased its way out
of the chaotic Lagos traffic on to the expressway en route Ibadan. As planned,
a man named Daniel came to pick me up the next day. Daniel was hired by Jibola
Akinyemi to drive me to Ibadan.
I
became perturbed when I began noticing road blocks at every 300 metres, but I
breathed a sigh of relief as Daniel--who was very friendly—assured me that it
was just the Nigerian Police mounting the blocks as checkpoints for security
purposes.
