In the middle of the shoot I see a bed in the corner of the yard. To which SGT Musa laughs and asks me "are you looking at my bed"...
Battle scars you can't see
"In the places I have been deployed during the fight against Boko Haram, places such as Sambisa forest, you cannot sleep indoors because if the enemy throws a grenade through the window you are finished. even now that I am back in Lagos I can’t bring myself to sleep indoors I don’t know if I ever will. When your friends and brothers have paid the ultimate price for sleeping indoors it does something to you, and so I set up this bed outside. It looks ugly, but it is a lot better than where the hungry soldiers fighting Boko Haram on your behalf sleep ” (translated from igbo)
Nduka
My grandfather's ex driver, Nduka is one of the funniest men in Lagos. That is until it is time to exercise, then there is zero time for play.
Inno
From Immo State, Inno recently tried to escape Nigeria on a ship to Ethiopia. Unfortunately it was a scam and shortly after he arrived in what he is not sure was Ethiopia he was quickly deported. It's a sad story, but no reason for skinny arms
Sgt Musa
I once went for drinks with Sgt and he started tapping me on the shines with his empty beer bottle. He said it was a reminder that next time I should not wait for his bottle to empty before I reorder him another one.
