Lagos State

Lagos is a city that includes various things like people, large houses, beautiful places of interest, beaches, and rich plant resources.

Lagos stands out from other cities. When you enter Lagos, you won't see "Welcome to Lagos," but rather "This is Lagos." That's it.

I saw a beautiful golden object glistening on the water's surface. It didn't allow me to determine whether it was a mermaid or a fish.

As I moved closer, I realized it wasn't a fish but a mermaid. 

I went near her. I was astonished by her beautiful face, which was smiling joyfully, seemingly enjoying her time in the water. Her brown eyes, resembling milk, closed due to the breeze blowing from the forest, giving her pleasure. Her long brown hair, adorned with enchanting flowers, reached her waist.

She lay by the water's edge, taking deep breaths. I could only say "Masha Allah" as my eyes beheld her beautiful face, which I hadn't fully appreciated before. Truly, God granted this mermaid a great gift of beauty.

I was amazed because I had never seen such a beautiful mermaid before, only heard of them, but this one surprised me greatly. She continued playing in the ocean, taking occasional breaths, as she seemed restricted to the water's surface.

She let out a deep sigh and said in the mermaid's language, "Truly, the human world is beautiful, and I wish I were human. But, don't forget that evil humans took your friend JERAZA." Tears started flowing down her cheeks. She wiped them away, saying, "May the Lord keep JERAZA in good health."

She looked up and saw the setting sun, which frightened her greatly. She held her chest and exclaimed, "I'm in trouble today; Queen Sunaina won't spare me."

A hammer struck her head, and she screamed, turning to face three ugly mermaids, unlike her. Their faces were repulsive. Two men and one woman, holding an iron rod, began speaking.

The one called Amriya replied, "Yes, it's forbidden, but Zeharis, remember that just because you are the leader of the mermaids, it doesn't give you the right to deny others their freedom. We are living beings like everyone else in the world."

Angrily, Zeharis responded, "So, we are inferior to you?" With intensity, Amriya retorted, "Know that I am neither inferior nor a slave." Zeharis then pointed to her guards, instructing them to seize her and bring her to the palace immediately.

**Abuja State**
I entered the G.R.A directly without delay, exploring every nook and cranny of the area. I saw beautiful, eye-catching houses, with the neighborhood very quiet, indicating that everyone was indoors.

My eyes fell on a magnificent house, the most beautiful, largest, and most well-designed in G.R.A. This house was referred to as the "Heaven on Earth." I saw about ten black cars and one white one in the middle, parked along the estate's street. The cars entered the house one by one until I couldn't see them anymore because the gate and bodyguards blocked my view. Determined not to be left behind, I decided to enter.

I exclaimed "Wow" upon seeing the house's stunning beauty and design. Indeed, a lot of money was spent constructing this grand house. I saw the cars parked in the parking space, with bodyguards emerging from the black cars. One bodyguard approached the central white car, opened the door, and greeted someone.

It took almost ten minutes before someone emerged, wearing white canvas shoes. A handsome, mature guy stepped out, dressed in a black suit and white jacket, looking very stylish.

He walked gracefully as if feeling sorry for the ground. He approached a door, entered a pin, and the door opened. Inside, the parlor was filled with luxury items, with the only sound being the A.C.

I saw a woman on a chair, likely 57 or 58 years old, dressed elegantly, holding a newspaper. She looked up, smiled, and said, "Welcome, son." With a pout, he replied, "Don't talk to me again." His rich, melodious voice caught my attention.

He approached her, pouting and grumbling. She smiled, saying, "I'm sorry, son. I know I offended you, please forgive your one and only mother." He knelt beside her, saying, "I'm sorry, mom, but you know I'm angry with you. Why didn't you call me since I left Lagos?" She apologized, explaining she was busy, promising not to repeat it.

He smiled, revealing his true beauty. She told him to rest, pray, and then come to the dining room for food. He asked about Fatima and was told she was on holiday at their uncle's house. He inquired about grandma and was told she went to her usual task of buying kola nuts.

Surprised, he asked about Aunty Amarya and was informed she was in her part of the house. He decided to visit her. Aunty Amarya was delighted to see him, and they chatted briefly. He then headed to his room, but she blocked his way, insisting he stay. He had no choice but to bathe, pray, change clothes, and eat.
